2. Changes of water status, elastic properties and blackspot incidence during storage of potato tubers

Author: U. Praeger, W. B. Herppich, C. König, B. Herold, and M. Geyer
Subjects: Plant culture, SB1-1110, Botany, QK1-989
Abstract: The blackspot bruise susceptibility of potato tubers after mechanical load may change during prolonged storage. Both an increase and a decrease of the occurrence probability of this defect with storage duration have been reported. Increasing blackspot susceptibility has often been related to declining tissue turgor and/or increasing tuber water losses. In the presented study the relationship between elastic properties, water status and blackspot incidence of potato tubers, and its variation during 8 month of storage has been investigated. Tubers of' the cultivars 'Afra' and 'Milva' differing in their starch content were stored at 4-5°C in boxes in a practical storage room and in a climate chamber at 4-5°C and 97-100% relative humidity. In spite of a pronounced, mainly water loss-related mass reduction ('Afra': 3.1%, 'Milva': 2.7%) during 5 1/2 months in high humidity storage the tuber turgor remained almost stable or even increased under both storage conditions. This turgor maintenance which guarantees vitaliy of the cells despite the observed water losses may result from elastic adjustment as indicated by a strongly increasing intrinsic volumetric elastic modulus of the inner tuber tissue. The apparent quasi-static modulus of elasticity and the dynamic stiftness of the intact whole tubers from practical storage decreased for both varieties. The blackspot susceptibility of both varieties was subject to strong ftuctuations during the duration of storage and no clear relation to any of the measured parameters for water status and elastic properties was identified. In contrast to the general notion blackspot susceptibility was not higher for 'Afra' than for 'Milva' despite the higher starch content of the former.

3. Endomorphins potentiate acid-sensing ion channel currents and enhance the lactic acid-mediated increase in arterial blood pressure: effects amplified in hindlimb ischaemia

Abstract: Chronic muscle ischemia leads to accumulation of lactic acid and other inflammatory mediators with a subsequent drop in interstitial pH. Acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), expressed in thin muscle afferents, sense the decrease in pH and evoke a pressor reflex known to increase mean arterial pressure. The naturally occurring endomorphins are also released by primary afferents under ischemic conditions. We examined whether high affinity mu opioid receptor (MOR) agonists, endomorphin-1 (E-1) and -2 (E-2), modulate ASIC currents and the lactic acid-mediated pressor reflex. In rat dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons, exposure to E-2 in acidic solutions significantly potentiated ASIC currents when compared to acidic solutions alone. The potentiation was significantly greater in DRG neurons isolated from rats whose femoral arteries were ligated for 72 hr. Sustained ASIC current potentiation was also observed in neurons pretreated with pertussis toxin, an uncoupler of G proteins and MOR. The endomorphin-mediated potentiation was a result of a leftward shift of the activation curve to more basic pH values and a slight shift of the inactivation curve to more acidic pH values. Intra-arterial co-administration of lactic acid and E-2 led to a significantly greater pressor reflex than lactic acid alone in the presence of naloxone. Finally, E-2 effects were inhibited by pretreatment with the ASIC3 blocker (APETx2) and enhanced by pretreatment with the ASIC1a blocker psalmotoxin-1. These findings have uncovered a novel role of endomorphins by which the opioids can enhance the lactic acid-mediated reflex increase in arterial pressure that is MOR stimulation-independent and APETx2-sensitive.

Subjects: tomato, dynamic loading, impact, modelling, mathematical statistics, Plant culture, SB1-1110, Plant ecology, QK900-989
Abstract: Drop tests were performed with different tomato cultivars. „Rupture" and „no rupture" conditions were determined as results. The proportion of „rupture" was shown versus the drop height and the relationships were described by a logistic function. The different cultivars are compared on this basis. The tests and results are suitable for the evaluation of stress sensitivity of tomatoes.

Abstract: The data taken with the ANTARES neutrino telescope from 2007 to 2010, a total live time of 863 days, are used to measure the oscillation parameters of atmospheric neutrinos. Muon tracks are reconstructed with energies as low as 20 GeV. Neutrino oscillations will cause a suppression of vertical upgoing muon neutrinos of such energies crossing the Earth. The parameters determining the oscillation of atmospheric neutrinos are extracted by fitting the event rate as a function of the ratio of the estimated neutrino energy and reconstructed flight path through the Earth. Measurement contours of the oscillation parameters in a two-flavour approximation are derived. Assuming maximal mixing, a mass difference of Delta m(32)(2) = (3.1 +/- 0.9) . 10(-3) eV(2) is obtained, in good agreement with the world average value. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: Summary The decision by embryonic ectoderm to give rise to epidermal versus neural derivatives is the result of signaling events during blastula and gastrula stages. However, there also is evidence in Xenopus that cleavage stage blastomeres contain maternally derived molecules that bias them toward a neural fate. We used a blastomere explant culture assay to test whether maternally deposited transcription factors bias 16-cell blastomere precursors of epidermal or neural ectoderm to express early zygotic neural genes in the absence of gastrulation interactions or exogenously supplied signaling factors. We found that Foxd4l1, Zic2, Gmnn, and Sox11 each induced explants made from ventral, epidermis-producing blastomeres to express early neural genes, and that at least some of the Foxd4l1 and Zic2 activities are required at cleavage stages. Similarly, providing extra Foxd4l1 or Zic2 to explants made from dorsal, neural plate-producing blastomeres significantly increased the expression of early neural genes, whereas knocking down either significantly reduced them. These results show that maternally delivered transcription factors bias cleavage stage blastomeres to a neural fate. We demonstrate that mouse and human homologs of Foxd4l1 have similar functional domains compared to the frog protein, as well as conserved transcriptional activities when expressed in Xenopus embryos and blastomere explants. genesis 54:334–349, 2016. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract: Denitrification is a key process responsible for the majority of soil nitrous oxide (N2O) emissions but the influences of pH and cultivation on the soil denitrifier community remain poorly understood. We hypothesised that the abundance and community structure of the total bacterial community and bacterial denitrifiers would be pH sensitive and that nirK and nirS containing denitrifiers would differ in their responses to change in pH and cultivation. We investigated the effect of long-term pH adjusted soils (ranging from pH 4.2 to pH 6.6) under different lengths of grass cultivation (one, two and three years of ley grass) on the general bacterial and denitrifier functional communities using 16S rRNA, nirK and nirS genes as markers. Denitrifier abundance increased with pH, and at pH below 4.7 there was a greater loss in nirS abundance per unit drop in pH than soils above this threshold pH. All community structures responded to changes in soil pH whilst cultivation only influenced the community structure of nirK. These differences in denitrifier responses highlight the importance of considering both nirK and nirS gene markers for estimating denitrifier activity. Identifying such thresholds in response of the microbial community to changes in pH is essential to understanding impacts of management or environmental change.

Abstract: The future neutrino telescope KM3NeT, to be built in the Mediterranean Sea, will be the largest of its kind. It will include nearly two hundred thousand photomultiplier tubes (PMT) mounted in multi-PMT digital optical modules (DOM). The dominant source of the PMT signals is decays of 40K and marine fauna bioluminescence. Selection of neutrino and muon events from this continuous optical background signals requires the implementation of fast and efficient triggers. Various schemes for the filtering of background data and the selection of neutrino and muon events were evaluated for the KM3NeT telescope using Monte Carlo simulations.

10. Fungal and bacterial denitrification are differently affected by long-term pH amendment and cultivation of arable soil

Abstract: Bacteria are considered as playing a predominant role in the production of nitrous oxide (N2O) in arable soil. Despite the knowledge that fungi are able to denitrify their contribution to denitrifier N2O production from arable soil is uncertain. Here, we assess the capability of fungi and bacteria to contribute to N2O emission from arable soil by measuring potential denitrification rates (PDR) as N2O production, after application of selective inhibitors aimed at distinguishing between fungal and bacterial denitrification, and related PDR to characteristics of the soil microbial community. Soil was sampled from a long-term crop rotation maintained since 1961 at seven different pH levels, ranging in 0.5 increments from pH 4.5 to 7.5, and along a cultivation gradient from freshly ploughed soil to three years under ley grass. Over both pH and cultivation gradients, bacteria contributed up to 54% and fungi contributed to 18% of the PDR. Residual N2O production that was not targeted by the selective inhibitors and hence could not be attributed to fungi or bacteria might be due to pre-synthesised enzymes or resistant organisms. The PDR of the bacterial community responded positively to increase in soil pH with the lowest PDR at pH 4.2 and the highest around pH 5.9. In contrast, fungal denitrification was not influenced by soil pH. Changes in ester linked fatty acids (ELFA) concentrations showed that whilst total bacterial biomass decreased with increasing pH fungal biomass was not significantly influenced by pH, driving an increase in the ratio of fungal–bacterial biomass. Both fungal biomass and bacterial biomass, and the PDR from the control treatment (no inhibitor application) across the pH gradient were greatest under long-term ley. Concentrations of fatty acids a15:0, 16:1ω7 and 17:1ω8 of microbial origin were positively correlated with the proportion of denitrification activity that was repressed by bacterial inhibitors. This suggests that there is a relationship between organisms that possess the fatty acids a15:0, 16:1ω7 and 17:1ω8, and the function of denitrification. Our results demonstrate that both fungal and bacterial denitrification were occurring in this arable soil. That management for pH and cultivation had differing effects on the potential contribution of fungal and bacterial denitrification to N2O production has implications for the development of appropriate management practices for mitigation of this greenhouse gas.

Abstract: ANTARES is a high-energy neutrino telescope installed in the Mediterranean Sea at a depth of 2475 m. It consists of a three-dimensional array of optical modules, each containing a large photomultiplier tube. A total of 2700 front-end ASICs named Analogue Ring Samplers (ARS) process the phototube signals, measure their arrival time, amplitude and shape as well as perform monitoring and calibration tasks. The ARS chip processes the analogue signals from the optical modules and converts information into digital data. All the information is transmitted to shore through further multiplexing electronics and an optical link. This paper describes the performance of the ARS chip; results from the functionality and characterization tests in the laboratory are summarized and the long-term performance in the apparatus is illustrated., Comment: 20 pages, 22 figures, published in Nuclear Instruments and Methods A

Abstract: Breast and bottle-feeding are areas of concern in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). The clinical issues encompass the typically developing preterm infant, who requires special supports to develop the skills needed for successful oral feeding, and the preterm and term infants with dysphagia, who, when able, require specialized assessment and treatment strategies to facilitate the maturation of sucking behaviors and transition to oral feeding. Research is increasingly addressing the development from non-nutritive to nutritive sucking, maturation of typical and atypical nutritive sucking in young infants, as well as assessment strategies and treatment supports for emerging sucking and remediation of feeding or swallowing problems. There continue to be gaps in the available information. These gaps are filled by expert opinion and clinical experience. However, an increase of clinically relevant, databased information is promising. The primary goals of treatment in this population are to facilitate transition from tube to oral feeding and advance sucking skills sufficiently to support needs for nutrition and hydration as the infant grows. The purpose of this article is to review the recent research that has provided an evidence base for clinical practice. The discussion includes research and practice for the use of clinical and instrumental assessments, and for therapeutic interventions selected to prepare the infant for nipple feeding and to support the infant and improve sucking competencies during oral feeding., Das Stillen und das Füttern mit der Flasche gehören zu den wichtigsten Behandlungszielen auf einer neonatalen Intensivstation (NITS; neonatal intensive care unit NICU). Die klinischen Aufgaben umfassen Angebote für den frühgeborenen Säugling mit einem typischen Entwicklungsverlauf, der spezielle Unterstützung benötigt, um die Fähigkeiten, welche für eine erfolgreiche orale Ernährung erforderlich sind, zu erlangen, und für die frühgeborenen wie auch reifgeborenen Säuglinge mit einer Dysphagie, die spezifische Diagnose- und Behandlungsverfahren benötigen, soweit diese verfügbar sind, um die Entwicklung des Saugverhaltens zu erleichtern und den Übergang zu einer oralen Ernährung zu ermöglichen. Der Übergang vom nonnutritiven zum nutritiven Saugen, die Reifung typischer wie auch untypischer Saug- und Schluckprozesse bei Säuglingen und Kleinkindern, Einschätzungsverfahren und unterstützende Behandlungsverfahren für den Aufbau des Saugverhaltens und den Abbau von Fütter- und Schluckproblemen sind zunehmend Gegenstand der Forschung. Aber die verfügbaren Informationen aus experimentellen Studien und Datenbankrecherchen zu diesen Themen sind bislang lückenhaft. Diese Lücken werden durch Expertenmeinung und klinische Erfahrungswerte ergänzt. Auf jeden Fall ist die zunehmende Zahl der klinisch relevanten, datenbasierten Informationen vielversprechend. Die Hauptziele bei der Behandlung von Säuglingen mit Nahrungsaufnahmeproblematik liegen in einer Erleichterung des Übergangs von der Sondenernährung zu oraler Ernährung und in der Entwicklung der Saug- und Schluckfertigkeiten zur Gewährleistung einer hinreichenden Nahrungs- und Flüssigkeitsaufnahme während des kindlichen Wachstums. Das Ziel des vorliegenden Artikels ist ein Überblick über aktuelle Forschungsbeiträge, welche eine Evidenzbasis für die klinische Praxis schaffen. Die Diskussion betrifft Forschung und Praxis des Umgangs mit klinischen und instrumentellen Diagnoseverfahren und mit therapeutischen Interven-tionen zur Vorbereitung des Säuglings auf ein Trinken aus dem Sauger/bzw. von der Brust der Mutter und zu weiteren Verbesserungen der Saug- und Schluckkompetenzen während der oralen Ernährung.

15. Measuring Behavior of an Acceleration Measuring Unit Implanted in Potatoes

Abstract: Mechanical harvest and postharvest handling induce numerous mechanical impacts on potato tubers. These impacts may cause damage such as blackspot bruise, resulting in severe economic losses. To obtain reliable data of actual mechanical impacts, a miniaturized triaxial acceleration measuring unit (AMU) was implanted into potato tubers and tested in the laboratory. Tests were carried out with potatoes of two cultivars on several dates during the 2007-2008 season. The potatoes were hand-harvested and stored at 4°C. Quasi-static elastic properties of the tubers were determined with a universal testing machine. The dimensions of the AMU were 42 × 13 × 13 mm. It was implanted in the tubers by means of a cork borer. A drop simulator was used for free fall tests from heights up to 100 cm. The acquired impact forces closely correlated with the impact acceleration obtained with the AMU. Test samples included both intact tubers and potatoes with the AMU implanted in order to determine the effects of tuber size, position of AMU, tissue thickness between AMU and tuber surface, drop height, and impact material on tissue mechanical properties. The experimental results were compared with data calculated according to Hertz' theory of elastic impact. The implantation procedure caused significant decrease of tuber apparent modulus of elasticity at the location of the drill hole. However, this area comprises less than 5% of the total tuber surface. Impact force and impact acceleration obtained in this study significantly correlated with tuber size, tissue thickness, drop height, and impact material. The dynamic modulus of elasticity of potato tubers calculated from impact force and impact acceleration data declined with increasing impact strength after an intermediate initial increase. This point of decline was similar in intact tubers and in tubers with AMU and may indicate mechanical tissue damage. However, because the AMU was embedded in the cushioning tuber tissue, the AMU peak values of impact were smaller than those obtained with a drop simulator. Furthermore, investigations with the implanted AMU yielded more realistic results of the actual mechanical impacts on potatoes and other susceptible produce than those with comparable electronic fruit.

Abstract: The storage behaviour of apples is simulated with a model based on the changes in green ground colour of three apple cultivars (`Elstar?, `Topaz? and `Pinova?) during ripening on the tree in the same orchard in three consecutive seasons, and also the effects of at-harvest maturity criteria. Taking the variation over the seasons into account (mainly found in the potential greenness), using a fixed fraction of ground colour at the moment of harvest as a harvest criterion was found to exhibit a better performance than using a harvest criterion of a fixed colour. The second part of the paper deals with theoretical relations between the product properties at the moment of harvest. These relations constitute the calibration curve per season for harvest indices like the Streif index. Variations in properties due to different seasonal conditions can affect the range of colour, as indicated in previous examples, and the synchronisation in the biological shift factor for different properties (here colour and firmness). The first effect (colour range) generates a change in slope between the two variables (colour and firmness), the second one a parallel shift. These findings can be used to improve the general performance of harvest indices over the seasons and orchards.

Abstract: [EN] Results are presented on a search for neutrino emission from a sample of six microquasars, based on the data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope between 2007 and 2010. By means of appropriate time cuts, the neutrino search has been restricted to the periods when the acceleration of relativistic jets was taking place at the microquasars under study. The time cuts have been chosen using the information from the X-ray telescopes RXTE/ASM and Swift/BAT, and, in one case, the gamma-ray telescope Fermi/LAT. No statistically significant excess has been observed, thus upper limits on the neutrino fluences have been derived and compared to the predictions by models. Constraints have been put on the ratio of proton to electron luminosity in the jets., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Région Alsace (contract CPER), Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse Organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental and CNRST, Morocco.

Abstract: A prototype detection unit of the KM3NeT deep-sea neutrino telescope has been installed at 3500m depth 80 km offshore the Italian coast. KM3NeT in its final configuration will contain several hundreds of detection units. Each detection unit is a mechanical structure anchored to the sea floor, held vertical by a submerged buoy and supporting optical modules for the detection of Cherenkov light emitted by charged secondary particles emerging from neutrino interactions. This prototype string implements three optical modules with 31 photomultiplier tubes each. These optical modules were developed by the KM3NeT Collaboration to enhance the detection capability of neutrino interactions. The prototype detection unit was operated since its deployment in May 2014 until its decommissioning in July 2015. Reconstruction of the particle trajectories from the data requires a nanosecond accuracy in the time calibration. A procedure for relative time calibration of the photomultiplier tubes contained in each optical module is described. This procedure is based on the measured coincidences produced in the sea by the $$^{40}$$40K background light and can easily be expanded to a detector with several thousands of optical modules. The time offsets between the different optical modules are obtained using LED nanobeacons mounted inside them. A set of data corresponding to 600 h of livetime was analysed. The results show good agreement with Monte Carlo simulations of the expected optical background and the signal from atmospheric muons. An almost background-free sample of muons was selected by filtering the time correlated signals on all the three optical modules. The zenith angle of the selected muons was reconstructed with a precision of about 3$$^circ $$∘.

Abstract: Phytohormones are involved in diverse aspects of plant life including the regulation of plant growth, development and reproduction, as well as governing biotic and abiotic stress responses. We have generated a comprehensive transcriptional reference map of the early potato responses to exogenous application of the defence hormones abscisic acid, brassinolides (applied as epibrassinolide), ethylene (applied as the ethylene precursor aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid), salicylic acid and jasmonic acid (applied as methyl jasmonate). Of the 39000 predicted genes on the microarray, a total of 2677 and 2473 genes were significantly differentially expressed at 1 h and 6 h after hormone treatment, respectively. Specific marker genes newly identified for the early hormone responses in potato include: a homeodomain 20 transcription factor (DMG400000248) for abscisic acid; a SAUR gene (DMG400016561) induced in epibrassinolide treated plants; an osmotin gene (DMG400003057) specifically enhanced by aminocyclopropanecarboxylic acid; a gene weakly similar to AtWRKY40 (DMG402007388) that was induced by salicylic acid; and a jasmonate ZIM-domain protein 1 (DMG400002930) which was specifically activated by methyl jasmonate. An online database has been set up to query the expression patterns of potato genes represented on the microarray that can also incorporate future microarray or RNAseq-based expression studies.

Abstract: A search for neutrino-induced muons in correlation with a selection of 40 gamma-ray bursts that occurred in 2007 has been performed with the ANTARES neutrino telescope. During that period, the detector consisted of 5 detection lines. The ANTARES neutrino telescope is sensitive to TeV-PeV neutrinos that are predicted from gamma-ray bursts. No events were found in correlation with the prompt photon emission of the gamma-ray bursts and upper limits have been placed on the flux and fluence of neutrinos for different models., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat à l’ énergie atomique et aux énergies alter-natives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Région Alsace (contrat CPER), Région Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fúr Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Instituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS - UEFI SCDI), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Brometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental, Morocco.

Abstract: Aims. We search for muon neutrinos in coincidence with GRBs with the ANTARES neutrino detector using data from the end of 2007 to 2011. Methods. Expected neutrino fluxes were calculated for each burst individually. The most recent numerical calculations of the spectra using the NeuCosmA code were employed, which include Monte Carlo simulations of the full underlying photohadronic interaction processes. The discovery probability for a selection of 296 GRBs in the given period was optimised using an extended maximum-likelihood strategy. Results. No significant excess over background is found in the data, and 90% confidence level upper limits are placed on the total expected flux according to the model., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS),Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Européenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Région Alsace (contrat CPER), Région Provence-Alpes- Côte d’Azur, Département du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium für Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovación (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana and MultiDark, Spain; Agence de l’Oriental and CNRST, Morocco.

Abstract: Cosmogenic neutrinos are produced during the propagation of ultra high energy cosmic rays (UHECR) through the cosmological microwave background radiation. The extragalactic origin of UHECR guarantees generation of high energy cosmogenic neutrinos, however, the flux depends on the currently unknown properties of UHECR, for example, the chemical composition and distribution of the sources and their evolution with redshift. Estimations of cosmogenic neutrino fluxes, which are constrained by UHECR observations, include a range of models in which a detectable signal could be produced in a very large volume high-energy neutrino telescope. In particular the favorable scenarios are based on the models with a pure proton composition. The possible event rate of cosmogenic neutrinos in the KM3NeT telescope for the different flux models is discussed in this paper.

Abstract: A search for a diffuse flux of astrophysical muon neutrinos, using data collected by the ANTARES neutrino telescope is presented. A (0.83 × 2π) sr sky was monitored for a total of 334 days of equivalent live time. The searched signal corresponds to an excess of events, produced by astrophysical sources, over the expected atmospheric neutrino background. The observed number of events is found compatible with the background expectation. Assuming an E−2 flux spectrum, a 90% c.l. upper limit on the diffuse νμ flux of E2Φ90% = 5.3 × 10−8 GeVcm−2 s−1 sr−1 in the energy range 20 TeV–2.5 PeV is obtained. Other signal models with different energy spectra are also tested and some rejected.

Abstract: The ANTARES deep-sea neutrino telescope comprises a three-dimensional array of photomultipliers to detect the Cherenkov light induced by upgoing relativistic charged particles originating from neutrino interactions in the vicinity of the detector. The large scattering length of light in the deep sea facilitates an angular resolution of a few tenths of a degree for neutrino energies exceeding 10 TeV. In order to achieve this optimal performance, the time calibration procedures should ensure a relative time calibration between the photomultipliers at the level of ~1 ns. The methods developed to attain this level of precision are described., The authors acknowledge the financial support of the funding agencies: Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), Commissariat a l'energie atomique et aux energies alternatives (CEA), Agence National de la Recherche (ANR), Commission Europeenne (FEDER fund and Marie Curie Program), Region Alsace (contract CPER), Region Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azur, Departe-ment du Var and Ville de La Seyne-sur-Mer, France; Bundesministerium fur Bildung und Forschung (BMBF), Germany; Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN), Italy; Stichting voor Fundamenteel Onderzoek der Materie (FOM), Nederlandse organisatie voor Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek (NWO), the Netherlands; Council of the President of the Russian Federation for young scientists and leading scientific schools supporting grants, Russia; National Authority for Scientific Research (ANCS), Romania; Ministerio de Ciencia e Innovacion (MICINN), Prometeo of Generalitat Valenciana (GVA) and MultiDark, Spain.

Abstract: The photomultiplier signals above a defined threshold (hits) are the main data collected from the KM3NeT neutrino telescope. The neutrino and muon events will be reconstructed from these signals. However, in the deep sea the dominant source of hits are the decays of 40K isotope and marine fauna bioluminescence. The selection of neutrino and muon events requires the implementation of fast and efficient data filtering algorithms for the reduction of accidental background event rates. A possible data filtering scheme for the KM3NeT neutrino telescope is discussed in the paper.

Abstract: The KM3NeT project aims to design and to construct at least a cubic kilometre scale neutrino telescope in the Mediterranean Sea. The main task is to instrument this deep-sea water volume with optical modules, each housing one or several photomultiplier tubes. Three-, 8- and 10-in. PMTs from ET Enterprises, Hamamatsu and MELZ-FEU have been investigated as candidates for the telescope's optical modules. Various parameters of these photomultiplier tubes have been measured in a test bench at the Erlangen Centre for Astroparticle Physics. These results are presented.

Abstract: Radioactive decays of Potassium-40 ( 40 K) are a major source of photomultiplier signals in deep-sea neutrino telescope. Understanding the response of optical modules to this background is necessary for the efficient reconstruction of muon and neutrino events. On the other hand, high 40 K-induced rates offer a possibility to calibrate a photomultipliers’ efficiency, signal amplitude and timing characteristics. Using a Geant4-based Monte Carlo simulation, 40 K-induced rates and PMT calibration methods were studied for a KM3NeT neutrino telescope design option with multi-PMT optical modules. The results of this study will be presented.

Abstract: Data records of an artificial fruit (PMS-60) showed that bulb onions are subjected to a considerable number of mechanical impacts under practical harvest and post-harvest handling conditions. The effect of number and intensity of impacts on onion storage losses was studied in laboratory drop tests by using hard and soft impact surfaces. After storage, the mass losses (due to transpiration and respiration losses, or rot and sprouting) were determined. The data from the artificial fruit (number of impacts, peak load and load integral of single impacts) recorded under the same drop test conditions were related to the resulting onion mass losses. In this way, allowable load thresholds for onions were derived and expressed in terms of PMS-60 data. These threshold data were used to evaluate practical handling systems by using the artificial fruit, and to predict the risk of onion storage losses based on measured impact data.

Abstract: Fate maps, constructed from lineage tracing all of the cells of an embryo, reveal which tissues descend from each cell of the embryo. Although fate maps are very useful for identifying the precursors of an organ and for elucidating the developmental path by which the descendant cells populate that organ in the normal embryo, they do not illustrate the full developmental potential of a precursor cell or identify the mechanisms by which its fate is determined. To test for cell fate commitment, one compares a cell's normal repertoire of descendants in the intact embryo (the fate map) with those expressed after an experimental manipulation. Is the cell's fate fixed (committed) regardless of the surrounding cellular environment, or is it influenced by external factors provided by its neighbors? Using the comprehensive fate maps of the Xenopus embryo, we describe how to identify, isolate and culture single cleavage stage precursors, called blastomeres. This approach allows one to assess whether these early cells are committed to the fate they acquire in their normal environment in the intact embryo, require interactions with their neighboring cells, or can be influenced to express alternate fates if exposed to other types of signals.

Abstract: The evaluation of tight clastic reservoirs challenges not only the accuracy of well logging techniques, but also routine and special core analysis. Traditional formation evaluation approaches, often fail to adequately characterize tight sands or carry a large and sometime unacceptable uncertainty in the results. During the on-going exploration and appraisal stage of the field, significant amount of data was acquired to build a robust static and dynamic model. Core acquired from the reservoir section was carefully analysed and integrated with other multidisciplinary data in order to reduce the level of uncertainty in critical formation evaluation properties like shale volume, porosity, permeability and saturations. These formation evaluation properties are considered as the basic inputs for static and dynamic modelling. The only way to make the models robust is by reducing the uncertainty associated with these critical petrophysical parameters. This can be achieved by planning, executing, and screening proper core analysis protocols and the integration with cross functional data like NMR logs. Additional confidence on the results comes from analogue field data.The objective of this paper is to document some of the challenges and how, through application of optimized integrated formation evaluation techniques, tight sand reservoirs had been characterized.

Abstract: The ANTARES telescope has the capability to detect neutrinos produced in astrophysical transient sources. Potential sources include gamma-ray bursts, core collapse supernovae, and flaring active galactic nuclei. To enhance the sensitivity of ANTARES to such sources, a new detection method based on coincident observations of neutrinos and optical signals has been developed. A fast online muon track reconstruction is used to trigger a network of small automatic optical telescopes. Such alerts are generated for special events, such as two or more neutrinos, coincident in time and direction, or single neutrinos of very high energy., Comment: 17 pages, 9 figures submitted to Astroparticle Physics

Abstract: The primary aim of ANTARES is neutrino astronomy with upward going muons created in charged current muon neutrino interactions in the detector and its surroundings. Downward going muons are background for neutrino searches. These muons are the decay products of cosmic-ray collisions in the Earths atmosphere far above the detector. This paper presents a method to identify and count electromagnetic showers induced along atmospheric muon tracks with the ANTARES detector. The method is applied to both cosmic muon data and simulations and its applicability to the reconstruction of muon event energies is demonstrated. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract: A new method for the measurement of the muon flux in the deep-sea ANTARES neutrino telescope and its dependence on the depth is presented. The method is based on the observation of coincidence signals in adjacent storeys of the detector. This yields an energy threshold of about 4 GeV. The main sources of optical background are the decay of 40K and the bioluminescence in the sea water. The 40K background is used to calibrate the efficiency of the photo-multiplier tubes., 10 pages, 4 figures

Subjects: Engineering, Process management, Emergency management, business.industry, media_common.quotation_subject, Authorization, Doctrine, Public relations, Work (electrical), Command and control systems, Liaison officer, Incident response, Command and control, business, media_common
Abstract: To meet Department of Defense requirement to support civilian authorities when incident response requirements exceed local authorities? abilities, the Services have established Emergency Preparedness Liaison Officer (EPLO) authorizations across the country. Personnel selected to serve as EPLOs work with US Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) in planning for, and implementing, that assistance. Recognizing that proper organizational alignment and reporting chains are a vital component in meeting strategic goals, the Services and USNORTHCOM are continuing to evaluate current organizational alignment and command and control reporting chains for these officers both before and during an incident response. This project provides historical background on the US sensitivities to federal forces being employed within the States, examines the current alignment, reviews Joint doctrine and then makes a recommendation on how to organize the EPLOs to best meet USNORTHCOM requirements.

Abstract: A GSM Base Transceiver Station (BTS) subsystem combines all the functions needed to modulate or demodulate the downstream and upstream wireless signals of the GSM system. The mixed-signal ASIC is implemented in a standard 3.3V CMOS 0.5/spl mu/m process. It functions as a baseband analog front-end located between the control and data framing CPU and the RF section of the BTS. The chip embeds all the functions of the baseband GMSK/EDGE modulator, the transmitting power regulation, various analog biasing and sensing features, two programmable phase-locked loops (PLL), a synchronization timer, and other digital controlling features.

43. Evaluation of poly(styrene-4-sulfonate) as a preventive agent for conception and sexually transmitted diseases

Abstract: A commercial preparation of a sodium polystyrene sulfonate (designated as N-PSS; its molecular weight is 500000 daltons) was tested as an inhibitor of sperm function and as a preventive agent for conception and the transmission of sexually transmitted diseases. The polymer is an irreversible inhibitor of hyaluronidase and acrosin; its IC50 values are 5.7 microg/mL and 0.5 microg/mL, for hyaluronidase and acrosin, respectively. N-PSS is also a stimulus of human sperm acrosomal loss. It produces maximal acrosomal loss at 2.5 microg/mL. Contraception in rabbits is nearly complete when rabbit spermatozoa are pretreated with 0.5 mg/mL of N-PSS before artificial insemination; however, N-PSS does not immobilize spermatozoa at concentrations as high as 50 mg/mL. N-PSS has broad spectrum antiviral and antibacterial activities. Infection by human immunodeficiency virus and herpes simplex virus are inhibited by N-PSS; 3-log reductions are produced by 7 microg/mL and 3 microg/mL, respectively. N-PSS is active against Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. At 1 mg/mL, N-PSS inhibits chlamydial infectivity by more than 90%. N-PSS produces a 3-log reduction in gonococcal growth at 15 microg/mL. In contrast, N-PSS (5 mg/mL) does not affect the growth of Lactobacillus (normal component of the vaginal flora). N-PSS can be classified as a noncytotoxic contraceptive antimicrobial agent. These properties justify bringing a polystyrene sulfonate into clinical trials for its evaluation as a preventive agent for conception and several sexually transmitted diseases.

47. [Isovolemic hemodilution--an adjuvant treatment principle in patients with chronic cor pulmonale caused by chronic obstructive lung disease]

Author: G, Thiele, I, Bürkmann, K, Ziesenhenn, and B, Herold
Subjects: Heart Failure, Oxygen, Hemodilution, Blood Volume, Pulmonary Heart Disease, Hemodynamics, Humans, Lung Diseases, Obstructive
Abstract: On the basis of 10 patients with chronic cor pulmonale due to chronic obstructive lung disease and secondary polyglobulia in a clinical and experimental study could be made evident that by limited isovolaemic haemodilution (haematocrit value of 0.58 +/- 0.03 reduced to 0.36 +/- 0.01) are to be expected a decrease of the total pulmonary-arterial resistance, a reduction of the mean pulmonary arterial pressure, an increase of the partial O2-pressure as well as an increase of the heart index. Analogically to this as a consequence of the improved rheologic conditions a clear involution of the clinical signs of a heart insufficiency developed. Complications were not observed. The technique of the limited haemodilution should find a broader use in the medical practice, taking into consideration the isovolaemia as adjuvant treatment principle for patients with the indication mentioned.
