    Description: Extracting stellar fundamental parameters from Spectrointerferometric (SPI) data requires reliable estimates of observables and with robust uncertainties (visibility, triple product, phase closure). A number of fine calibration procedures are necessary throughout the reduction process. Testing departures from centrosymmetry of brightness distributions is a useful complement. Developing a set of automatic routines called spidast (made available to the community) to reduce, calibrate and interpret raw data sets of instantaneous spectrointerferograms at the spectral channel level, we complement (and in some respects improve) the ones contained in the amdlib Data Reduction Software. Our new software spidast is designed to work in an automatic mode, free from subjective choices, while being versatile enough to suit various processing strategies. spidast performs the following automated operations: weighting of non-aberrant SPI data (visibility, triple product), fine spectral calibration (subpixel level), accurate and robust determinations of stellar diameters for calibrator sources (and their uncertainties as well), correction for the degradations of the interferometer response in visibility and triple product, calculation of the centrosymmetry parameter from the calibrated triple product, fit of parametric chromatic models on SPI observables, to extract model parameters. spidast is currently applied to the scientific study of 18 cool giant and supergiant stars, observed with the VLTI/AMBER facility at medium resolution in the K band. Because part of their calibrators have no diameter in the current catalogues, spidast provides new determinations of the angular diameters of all calibrators. Comparison of spidast final calibrated observables with amdlib determinations shows good agreement, under good and poor seeing conditions.

    Description: Directionality in intracellular trafficking is essential to ensure the correct localization of proteins along the secretory pathway. Here, we found evidence for an active mechanism that prohibited back-fusion of de novo-generated vesicles with their donor compartment. Tip20p is a peripheral membrane protein implicated in consumption of COPI vesicles at the endoplasmic reticulum. However, a specific mutant of TIP20 did not interfere with COPII vesicle generation but allowed these vesicles to fuse back to the endoplasmic reticulum, a process that does not occur normally in the cell.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Kamena, Faustin -- Spang, Anne -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2004 Apr 9;304(5668):286-9.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Friedrich Miescher Laboratorium der Max Planck Gesellschaft, Spemannstrasse 39, D-72076 Tubingen, Germany.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15073376" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: The origin of the eukaryotic cell remains one of the most contentious puzzles in modern biology. Recent studies have provided support for the emergence of the eukaryotic host cell from within the archaeal domain of life, but the identity and nature of the putative archaeal ancestor remain a subject of debate. Here we describe the discovery of 'Lokiarchaeota', a novel candidate archaeal phylum, which forms a monophyletic group with eukaryotes in phylogenomic analyses, and whose genomes encode an expanded repertoire of eukaryotic signature proteins that are suggestive of sophisticated membrane remodelling capabilities. Our results provide strong support for hypotheses in which the eukaryotic host evolved from a bona fide archaeon, and demonstrate that many components that underpin eukaryote-specific features were already present in that ancestor. This provided the host with a rich genomic 'starter-kit' to support the increase in the cellular and genomic complexity that is characteristic of eukaryotes.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4444528/" 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/PMC4444528/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Spang, Anja -- Saw, Jimmy H -- Jorgensen, Steffen L -- Zaremba-Niedzwiedzka, Katarzyna -- Martijn, Joran -- Lind, Anders E -- van Eijk, Roel -- Schleper, Christa -- Guy, Lionel -- Ettema, Thijs J G -- 310039/European Research Council/International -- England -- Nature. 2015 May 14;521(7551):173-9. doi: 10.1038/nature14447.

    Description: Studies of host rock deformation around magmatic intrusions usually focus on the development of stresses directly related to the intrusion process. This is done either by considering an inflating region that represents the intruding body, or by considering multiphase deformation. Thermal processes, especially volume changes caused by thermal expansion are typically ignored. We show that thermal stresses around upper crustal magma bodies are likely to be significant and sufficient to create an extensive fracture network around the magma body by brittle yielding. At the same time, cooling induces decompression within the intrusion, which can promote the appearance of a volatile phase. Volatile phases and the development of a fracture network around the inclusion may thus be the processes that control magmatic‐hydrothermal alteration around intrusions. This suggests that thermal stresses likely play an important role in the development of magmatic systems. To quantify the magnitude of thermal stresses around cooling intrusions, we present a fully compressible 2D visco‐elasto‐plastic thermo‐mechanical numerical model. We utilize a finite difference staggered grid discretization and a graphics processing unit based pseudo‐transient solver. First, we present purely thermo‐elastic solutions, then we include the effects of viscous relaxation and plastic yielding. The dominant deformation mechanism in our models is determined in a self‐consistent manner, by taking into account stress, pressure, and temperature conditions. Using experimentally determined flow laws, the resulting thermal stresses can be comparable to or even exceed the confining pressure. This suggests that thermal stresses alone could result in the development of a fracture network around magmatic bodies.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: Quantifying the stresses that magma bodies exert on the surrounding rocks is an important part of understanding mechanical processes that control the evolution of magmatic systems and volcanic eruptions. Previous analytical or numerical models typically describe the mechanical response to changes in magma volume due to intrusion or extraction of magma. However, volume changes related to thermal expansion/contraction around a cooling magma body are often neglected. Here, we develop a new software which runs on modern graphics processing unit machines, to quantity the effect of this process. The results show that stresses due to thermal expansion/contraction are significant, and often large enough to fracture the rocks nearby the magma body. Such fracture networks may form permeable pathways for the magma or for fluids such as water and CO〈sub〉2〈/sub〉, thus influencing the evolution of magmatic and hydrothermal systems. Finally we show that cooling and shrinking of magma bodies causes significant decompression which can influence the chemical evolution of the magma during crystallization and devolatilization.
    Description: Key Points: We present a numerical quantification of the effect of thermal stresses in visco‐elasto‐plastic rock with tensile and dilatant shear failure. The pressure drop in thermally contracting upper crustal magma bodies can exceed 100 MPa, potentially triggering devolatilization. Thermal cracking can create an extensive fracture network around an upper crustal magma body.

    Notes: Abstract The homozygote Brattleboro rat exhibits a hereditary diabetes insipidus due to a deficiency of vasopressin, the antidiuretic hormone. It has previously been shown that in this animal a single nucleotide deletion in the provasopressin gene leads to a mutant precursor with a C-terminal amino acid sequence different from that of the wild-type. However the N-terminal region including the hormone moiety, the processing signal as well as the first two-thirds of the neurophysin is entirely preserved and absence of maturation has to be explained by an additional cause. We show here that the neurohypophysis of the homozygote Brattleboro rat, in contrast to the adenohypophysis, displays a significant decrease in the Lys-Arg processing endopeptidase activity when compared to the heterozygote or the wild-type Wistar. It is suggested that hypothalamic vasopressinergic neurons of the homozygote Brattleboro rat display a deficiency in the processing enzyme in contrast to the oxytocinergic neurons in which processing of prooxytocin is normal.
