Two new arboreal microhylid frogs are described from the rainforests of northeastern Madagascar. Platypelis tetra is a very small frog, reaching about 20mm SVL, and inhabits phytotelms in screw Pandanus pines. It was found in some low and mid-altitude rainforests, such as Anjanaharibe-Sud, Besariaka, Tsararano, and Masoala Peninsula. This species diverges from the other Platypelis by its small size and colouration, with a series of whitish spots on the back, of which four are more evident. Furthermore, its advertisement call is composed by a long series of discrete notes at about 3.5-4KHz of frequency, and a repetition rate of about 3.0 notes/s. The second species, Platypelis mavomavo, reaches a larger size (about 30mm SVL), and is characterized by a yellowish colouration of the ventral surface, and a dorsal surface with a network of dark spots on a beige-yellow background. It is currently known from Anjanaharibe-Sud and Ambolokopatrika, around the Andapa water-basin, but is expected to have a wider distribution.

Meningioma is the most common primary brain tumor in cats, although there are few reports about their pathological features. To investigate the histopathological subtypes and immunohistochemical features including expression of cytokeratin and cell adhesion molecules, 45 cases of feline meningioma were examined. The mean age was 12.5 years (range 6–21 years). No statistically significant sex predilection was observed. Regarding the anatomical location of meningioma, tumors mostly developed in the cerebrum, followed by spinal cord and cerebellum, and multiple meningioma was observed in one cat. Microscopically, linear or focal mineralization was observed in 40 cases and cholesterol cleft was observed in 14 cases. Based on histopathological subtypes, there were 15 fibrous, 22 transitional, 2 meningothelial, 5 atypical, and 1 anaplastic meningiomas. These subtypes are classified into grade 1 (39 cases), grade 2 (5 cases), and grade 3 (1 case). There was no significant difference in the Ki-67 index among histological subtypes or grades. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for cytokeratin in 5 cases (12.8%), vimentin in 17 cases (43.6%), E-cadherin in 36 cases (92.3%), β-catenin in 21 cases (53.8%), and N-cadherin in 1 case (2.6%), demonstrating the utility of E-cadherin-immunohistochemistry for the diagnosis of feline meningiomas.

In this study, the combined effect of different packaging materials (transparent PET, transparent glass, glass-PET bottle and tin), some aromatic herbs (thyme, rosemary, sage and olive leaf) and also their essential oils (thyme, rosemary and sage) on fatty acid composition of virgin olive oil was investigated during storage period. The initial amounts of the main fatty acids as oleic, palmitic and linoleic acids were determined as 72.89%, 11.89% and 8.96%, respectively. The addition of aromatic plants and essential oils did not effect the fatty acid profile. Also, packaging materials had a minor influence on fatty acids. In the 6th month of storage, the oleic acid contents of olive oils showed the increase in all of samples. The highest increase was observed in olive oil stored in glass-PET (74.30-75.01%), followed by stored in glass bottle (73.41-74.82%). Generally, during the storage, the differences of fatty acid contents were in minor level. The fatty acid composition of olive oils stored under different essential oil and extract concentrations showed partial differences depending on the extract type and concentration.

成層圏突然昇温に関する Matsuno の朱駆的な数値実験が成功して以来,この荘大な自然現象が力学的な原因に由来するものであることは疑いをはさむ余地のないところである。しかし,その理論的なモデル化や衛星観測に基づく諸研究は,昇温現象の詳細にわたる理解や適切な予測に関してある程度の見通しが得られた段階に到ったばかりである。本論文では,この現象に関する最近の研究の進展ぶりを自由に論じ,あわせて,数値モデル化に際して対流圏の運動を先駆的に与えることによって生ずる偽の共鳴を避ける方法など,将来の研究のあり方についても示唆を与える。

The effect of high temperatures on growth, yield and dry-matter production of rice growing in the paddy field was examined during the whole growth period in a temperature gradient chamber (TGC) from 2002 to 2006. Experimental plots, TG1 (control), TG2, TG3 and TG4, were arranged along the temperature gradient (from low to high temperature) in TGC. The mean and maximum air-temperatures in TG4 were 2.0-3.6°C and 4.0-7.0°C higher, respectively, than those in TG1. The plant height was taller and the maximum tillering stage was earlier in TG2, TG3 and TG4 than in TG1. Plant dry weight at maturity in TG2 and TG3 was 12.8-16.4% heavier than that in TG1. In TG4, the increase in the panicle dry weight during the ripening period was smallest and plant dry weight at maturity was 11-16% heavier than that in TG1. The increase in plant dry-matter during the ripening period was smallest in TG4. The decrease in the dry weight of stem and leaf during the ripening period, which represents the amount of assimilate translocation to the panicle, was also larger in TG2-4 than in TG1. The increase in the dry weight of stem in TG2-4 at maturity was also larger than that in TG1. The photosynthetic rate in TG2-4 was up to 35.6% lower than that in TG1 because of the acceleration of leaf senescence. Brown rice yield in TG4 was 6.6-39.1% lower than that in TG1. This yield decline was due to the decrease in the percentage of ripened grains and increase in the percentage of sterile spikelets. The relation between brown rice yield and mean air-temperature during 20 days after heading showed that the brown rice yield declined when mean air-temperature exceeded 28°C.

The main purpose of iron ore sintering is to produce a strong agglomerate for the blast furnace. This is achieved by partially melting a sinter mix at high temperature and then allowing the melt to solidify into a bonding phase for the unreacted material. The melt formation and subsequent solidification processes are highly dependent on the composition of the blended mix. This paper summarises the differences in sintering behaviour between hematite ores and goethitic ores based on past research programs carried out at BHP Billiton. From a fundamental evaluation of the sintering process, it is clear that productivity can be an issue with goethitic ores because of their low bulk density and high porosity. This paper recommends steps towards overcoming losses in productivity. The effect of goethitic ores on coke rates is also a matter of general concern and this study shows that the addition energy required to dehydrate goethites and remove the additional water introduced into the system is comparatively small. The properties of melts have been shown to be particularly important in determining yield from a sinter machine and it is evident that the easy-melting properties of goethitic ores will also have an impact on this area. This paper also reviews our current understanding of how goethitic ores can influence sinter quality. The implication of fundamental knowledge on practical sinter plant operation is discussed throughout and collated at the end of the paper.

BACKGROUNDThe chronic inflammatory process is a critical characteristic in several diseases. This condition has an important impact on the quality life of patients, as well as on their economic and social state. Patients in this condition use several anti-inflammatory agents, which are classified according to their chemical nature as steroidal (SAIDs) and non-steroidal (NSAIDs). However, It has been reported that its clinical use can generate dangerous adverse effects. For this motive, people use medicinal plants as an alternative of treatment. Several plants have been traditionally used as anti-inflammatory agents worldwide. One example is Psacalium decompositum, which has been reported with anti-inflammatory and antidiabetic effects. In chemical studies, sesquiterpenic compounds have been isolated, being the cacalol the main compound, which is considered the responsible principle of the anti-inflammatory effect of this plant. However, the action mechanisms involved in the anti-inflammatory action of cacalol have not yet been explored.The aim of this investigation was to establish whether the anti-inflammatory action of cacalol involves the Nf-kB pathway, using an in vitro model.METHODSRAW 264.7 macrophages were cultured and pre-stimulated with LPS. Two hours after, the cells were treated with cacalol. The concentration and relative expression of cytokines were quantified by RT-PCR. The cytokines studied were TNF, IL-6, IL-1b and IL-10. The pohosphorylated subunit p65 of Nf-kB and its nuclear translocation were measured by EMSA.RESULTSThe mRNA expression of TNF, IL-6 and IL-1b were significantly decreased in the macrophages due to cacalol. The protein concentrations in the culture of the cytokines also decreased. No changes were detected in the mRNA expression and concentration of IL-10. The cacalol decreased the concentration of the phosphorylated p65 subunit as did the translocation of Nf-kB to the nucleus.CONCLUSIONSCacalol suppressed the concentrations of pro-inflammatory cytokines without affecting the anti-inflammatory cytokines. This could be associated with the inhibition of the Nf-kB pathway, since the levels of the phosphorylated p65 subunit were reduced. It is important to continue with the study of the factors involved in the regulation of said inhibition, as well as of other transcription factors involved in the anti-inflammatory action of cacalol.

Cyanobacteria thrive in diverse environments. However, questions remain about possible growth limitations in ancient environmental conditions. As a single genus, the Thermosynechococcus are cosmopolitan and live in chemically diverse habitats. To understand the genetic basis for this, we compared the protein coding component of Thermosynechococcus genomes. Supplementing the known genetic diversity of Thermosynechococcus, we report draft metagenome-assembled genomes of two Thermosynechococcus recovered from ferrous carbonate hot springs in Japan. We find that as a genus, Thermosynechococcus is genomically conserved, having a small pan-genome with few accessory genes per individual strain as well as few genes that are unique to the genus. Furthermore, by comparing orthologous protein groups, including an analysis of genes encoding proteins with an iron related function (uptake, storage or utilization), no clear differences in genetic content, or adaptive mechanisms could be detected between genus members, despite the range of environments they inhabit. Overall, our results highlight a seemingly innate ability for Thermosynechococcus to inhabit diverse habitats without having undergone substantial genomic adaptation to accommodate this. The finding of Thermosynechococcus in both hot and high iron environments without adaptation recognizable from the perspective of the proteome has implications for understanding the basis of thermophily within this clade, and also for understanding the possible genetic basis for high iron tolerance in cyanobacteria on early Earth. The conserved core genome may be indicative of an allopatric lifestyle—or reduced genetic complexity of hot spring habitats relative to other environments.
