    Description: The overstability of the fundamental radial mode in M dwarf models was theoretically predicted recently by Rodríguez-López et al. The periods were found to be in the ranges ~25–40 min and ~4–8 h, depending on stellar age and excitation mechanism. We have extended our initial M dwarf model grid in mass, metallicity and mixing length parameter. We have also considered models with boundary conditions from phoenix N ext G en atmospheres to test their influence on the pulsation spectra. We find instability of non-radial modes with radial orders up to k  = 3, degree  = 0–3, including p- and g-modes, with the period range extending from 20 min up to 11 h. Furthermore, we find theoretical evidence of the potential of M dwarfs as solar-like oscillators.

    Description: Sialic acid acetylesterase (SIAE) is an enzyme that negatively regulates B lymphocyte antigen receptor signalling and is required for the maintenance of immunological tolerance in mice. Heterozygous loss-of-function germline rare variants and a homozygous defective polymorphic variant of SIAE were identified in 24/923 subjects of European origin with relatively common autoimmune disorders and in 2/648 controls of European origin. All heterozygous loss-of-function SIAE mutations tested were capable of functioning in a dominant negative manner. A homozygous secretion-defective polymorphic variant of SIAE was catalytically active, lacked the ability to function in a dominant negative manner, and was seen in eight autoimmune subjects but in no control subjects. The odds ratio for inheriting defective SIAE alleles was 8.6 in all autoimmune subjects, 8.3 in subjects with rheumatoid arthritis, and 7.9 in subjects with type I diabetes. Functionally defective SIAE rare and polymorphic variants represent a strong genetic link to susceptibility in relatively common human autoimmune disorders.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900412/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2900412/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Surolia, Ira -- Pirnie, Stephan P -- Chellappa, Vasant -- Taylor, Kendra N -- Cariappa, Annaiah -- Moya, Jesse -- Liu, Haoyuan -- Bell, Daphne W -- Driscoll, David R -- Diederichs, Sven -- Haider, Khaleda -- Netravali, Ilka -- Le, Sheila -- Elia, Roberto -- Dow, Ethan -- Lee, Annette -- Freudenberg, Jan -- De Jager, Philip L -- Chretien, Yves -- Varki, Ajit -- MacDonald, Marcy E -- Gillis, Tammy -- Behrens, Timothy W -- Bloch, Donald -- Collier, Deborah -- Korzenik, Joshua -- Podolsky, Daniel K -- Hafler, David -- Murali, Mandakolathur -- Sands, Bruce -- Stone, John H -- Gregersen, Peter K -- Pillai, Shiv -- AI 064930/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI 068759/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AI 076505/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- AR 022263/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- AR 044422/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- AR 058481/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- NS 32765/NS/NINDS NIH HHS/ -- P30 DK043351/DK/NIDDK NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI064930/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI064930-04/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI068759/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI068759-05/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI076505/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AI076505-02/AI/NIAID NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR044422/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- R01 AR044422-13/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- RC1 AR058481/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- RC1 AR058481-01/AR/NIAMS NIH HHS/ -- England -- Nature. 2010 Jul 8;466(7303):243-7. doi: 10.1038/nature09115.

    Notes: The results presented in this work were obtained with two citrus genotypes, the chloride-tolerant Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni Hort. ex Tan.) and the chloride-sensitive Carrizo citrange [Citrus sinensis (L.) Osb. ×Poncirus trifoliata (L.) Raf.]. The data show that chloride uptake under salinization is driven by passive forces. In both species, net rates of chloride root uptake increased linearly, without saturation, with the increase of external NaCl concentrations (30–240 mol m–3). Uptake rates, on a μg g root dry weight–1 h–1 basis, in Cleopatra and Carrizo decreased (from 38 to 21) and increased (from 21 to 35), respectively, with the increase (about three-fold) of the shoot to root ratio. With the appropriate shoot to root ratio in each genotype, it was demonstrated that at identical external doses of NaCl, Cl– uptake rates and Cl– xylem concentrations in the two species were very similar. Root pruning and defoliation showed that the amount of chloride taken by the plant was a function of the size of the root system, whereas leaf chloride concentration, the parameter responsible for salt damage, was dependent upon leaf biomass. Measurements of water transpiration suggested that chloride root uptake and leaf accumulation might be linked to water absorption and transpiration rates, respectively. The data indicate that plant morphology is a crucial factor determining salt-tolerance in citrus.

    Notes: In citrus, the relative contributions of chloride and cations to growth disturbances induced by salinity are a matter of controversy. Chloride salts (15 mol m–3 CaCl2, 30 mol m–3 CaCl and 30 mol m–3 KCl) reduced growth and gas exchange parameters, increased leaf damage and abscission and produced anatomical disarrangements and mineral imbalances in seedlings of sensitive Carrizo citrange (Citrus sinensis x Poncirus trifoliata) and tolerant Cleopatra mandarin (Citrus reshni). In both cultivars, Ca2+ was more beneficial, and K+ more detrimental, for growth than sodium. Photosynthesis and growth disturbances were highly correlated (P≤ 0·001) with leaf Cl– build-up. In the sensitive genotype, Cl– was also significantly correlated with several leaf anatomical disarrangements, such as increase in succulence. In comparison with sodium, both calcium and potassium increased leaf Cl– content (up to 25 and 69%, respectively). Protective calcium effects were not linked to improvement of photosynthesis, reduction of leaf anatomical disarrangements, or prevention of Cl– and Na+ increases. It is proposed that the ameliorative effects of calcium on citrus grown under salinity are mostly related to reduction of leaf abscission. Collectively, the data suggest a cause–effect relationship between Cl– build-up and reduced growth, whereas chloride correlations with declines in photosynthesis or increases in succulence appear to be indirect.

    Notes: Six isolates of plum pox potyvirus from different Mediterranean countries were compared by sodium dodecyl sulphate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), peptide mapping and Western blotting after improved purification of virions using a protease inhibitor cocktail that reduced coat protein degradation. One isolate (Spanish isolate 3.3 from plum) differed from the others in possessing a smaller coat protein (approximately 34 instead 36 kDa) with a possible deletion in the surface-exposed amino-terminal region. Infectivity of the viruses after proteolysis, assessed using a local lesion host, was significantly reduced. Protease digestion conditions were established to generate a 28 kDa resistant core of the viral coat protein. Such conditions (longer incubation times or an increase in the enzyme concentration) differed from the milder ones reported for other potyviruses. Implications of the results in relation to the production and screening of virus-specific monoclonal antibodies are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract— A reaction sintering route is developed to produce, “in situ”, composites of alumina-aluminium titanate using alumina and titania as starting powders. Aluminium titanate, can be formed by a solid state reaction between Al2O3 and TiO2 at temperatures above the eutectoid temperature of 1280°C. These composites have different grain sizes of alumina matrix and a different quantity and distribution of aluminium titanate according to the heating cycle used.In the present work direct push-pull tests under cyclic loads have been carried out with both monolithic alumina and alumina-aluminium titanate composites. It has been found that all the samples show a decrease in tensile strength with the number of applied cycles of loading when plotted in graphical form but the slopes of these graphs for both Al2O3-Al2TiO5 composites are lower than for the alumina specimens. The role of aluminium titanate and the alumina matrix grain size in fatigue crack growth resistance has been studied during push-pull tests, where failure occurs by catastrophic propagation of small surface cracks after a very short regime of subcritical crack growth. These results have been compared with measurements of slow stable fatigue crack growth rates in Al2O3-Al2TiO5 composites carried out elsewhere with pre-notched specimens of the compact tension type. These latter tests provide information about the behaviour of significantly long cracks, i.e. cracks that are several millimetres long.
