Comparative Investigation into the Appearance of Lapis Lazuli and Royal Blue
Elza Tantcheva-Burdge,Vien Cheung 한국색채학회 2017 AIC 2017 Jeju Vol.2017 No.10
This paper examines the degrees of similarity between the appearance of the blue of lapis lazuli and the colour known as Royal Blue. Our hypothesis is that there is likely to be a resemblance in the appearance of both colours. There is an historic association of lapis lazuli blues with the depiction in Christian culture of both heavenly and earthly royalties hence the later use of the term Royal Blue. The colour of Lapis lazuli is intense blues of varying shades, thus it is to be expected that the term Royal Blue is likely to refer to a group of varying shades and not to a more or less precisely defined appearance. To test the hypothesis, we compared the appearance of Afghan lapis lazuli with samples of different art materials by different manufacturers that all bear the name Royal Blue. This allowed us to examine to what extent the appearance was kept stable across materials and manufacturers. Comparison of the results was carried out in CIELAB space as it describes the colours visible to the human eye and is device-independent. The relative perceptual difference between the colour of each sample of Royal Blue and the lapis lazuli sample was assessed by examining the Euclidean distance between them.

This paper will examine how the non-traditional model of higher education as employed by The College of New Rochelle's School of New Resources fosters empowerment and lifelong learning in adult women learners. It will emphasize how this model of education relies upon adult learning theory to accomplish the goals of self-directed lifelong learning. The relationship that exists between the key components of this model and self-empowerment will be highlighted.

Objective: Osteoporosis is a disease of bone metabolism, characterized by reduced density of e.g. the jawbone, with decreasing stability of the denture. Polymorphism in the estrogen receptor β gene (ER-β) has been linked with susceptibility to osteoporosis in ageing persons. The present study aimed to evaluate the association between the ER-β gene polymorphism and osteoporosis in Indonesian postmenopausal women. Methods: The research was a cross-sectional study of 288 subjects that were 47-75 years old. Bone density was determined by an ultrasonic technique and the subjects were divided on this basis into normal, osteopenia and osteoporosis groups. Peripheral blood samples were used for DNA isolation, and the ER-β polymorphism status of the subjects was evaluated using the PCR-RFLP technique with Alu1 restriction enzyme for cutting. Chi-square testing was used to evaluate the relation between the polymorphism status and the observed bone density. Results: The results showed that the status of ER-β polymorphism is significantly associated with osteoporosis in Indonesian postmenopausal women. In particular, a high fraction (68%) of subjects with osteoporosis were of the AA genotype, while osteoporosis was less common (32%) in the Aa genotype and apparently rare in the aa genotype that was in case uncommon. Conclusion: The majority of subjects with osteoporosis were of the AA genotype in terms of ER-β polymorphisms in Indonesian postmenopausal women. As the majority of all subjects were of AA genotype, the results support the view that expression of ER-β would increase the risk to osteoporosis and fracture in ageing women.

Purpose: to compare cut off points corrected for age and gender (COOP) with fixed cut off points (FCOP) for fasting plasma insulin and Homeostatic model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) for the diagnosis of IR in obese children and adolescents and their correlation with dyslipidemia.Methods: A multicenter, cross-sectional study including 383 subjects aged 7 to 18 years, evaluating fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin, and lipid profile. Subjects with high insulin levels and/or HOMA-IR were considered as having IR, based on two defining criteria: FCOP or CCOP. The frequency of metabolic abnormalities, the presence of IR, and the presence of dyslipidemia in relation to FCOP or CCOP were analyzed using Fisher and Mann-Whitney exact tests.Results: Using HOMA-IR, IR was diagnosed in 155 (40.5%) and 215 (56.1%) patients and, using fasting insulin, 150 (39.2%) and 221 (57.7%), respectively applying FCOP and CCOP. The use of CCOP resulted in lower insulin and HOMA-IR values than FCOP. Dyslipidemia was not related to FCOP or CCOP. Blood glucose remained within normal limits in all patients with IR. There was no difference in the frequency of IR identified by plasma insulin or HOMA-IR, both for FCOP and CCOP.Conclusion: The CCOP of plasma insulin or of HOMA-IR detected more cases of IR as compared to the FCOP, but were not associated with the frequency of dyslipidemia. As blood glucose has almost no fluctuation in this age group, even in the presence of IR, fasting plasma insulin detected the same cases of IR that would be detected by HOMA-IR.

The administration of hesperidin elicits an antidepressant-like effect in mice by a mechanism dependent on an interaction with the l-arginine-nitric oxide (NO)-cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) pathway, whose stimulation is associated with the activation of potassium (K+ ) channels. Thus, this study investigated the involvement of different types of K+ channels in the antidepressant-like effect of hesperidin in the mice tail suspension test (TST). The intracerebroventricular administration of tetraethylammonium (TEA, a nonspecific blocker of K+ channels), glibenclamide (an ATP-sensitive K+ channel blocker), charybdotoxin (a large- and intermediate-conductance calcium-activated K+ channel blocker) or apamin (a small-conductance calcium-activated K+ channel blocker) combined with a subeffective dose of hesperidin (0.01 mg/kg, intraperitoneally [i.p.]) was able to produce a synergistic antidepressant-like effect in the mice TST. Moreover, the antidepressant-like effect elicited by an effective dose of hesperidin (0.3 mg/kg, i.p.) in TST was abolished by the treatment of mice with pharmacological compounds K+ channel openers (cromakalim and minoxidil). Results showed that the antidepressantlike effect of hesperidin in TST may involve, at least in part, the modulation of neuronal excitability through inhibition of K+ channels and may act through a mechanism dependent on the inhibition of l-arginine-NO pathway.

Nuclear DNA of three accessions of Parkia biglobosa collected from three locations in northern Cross River State was investigated using a Patec PA II flow cytometer equipped with an argon ion laser (488 nm), and pictures of mitotic chromosomes were taken using a digital micro- camera (Canon) placed on the eye piece of a binocular microscope at 100X oil immersion. Metaphase chromosome counts of 2n = 22 for accessions A and C and 2n = 24 for accession B, were obtained and through flow cytometry, the three accessions were confirmed to be diploids. The nuclear DNA content and genome size for the accessions were 1.5085, 1.489, and 1.5266 pg (737.7054, 728.121, and 746.5074 Mbp) for accessions A, B, and C, respectively. In another experiment, leaf samples from greenhouse-germinated seeds were analyzed for variation in the banding pattern of the protein by SDS-PAGE in the three accessions. Protein was resolved into three banding groups according to their electrophoretic mobility: slow, medium, and fast, clustering between 100 - 200, 40 - 70, and 10 - 25 kDa, respectively. There was 76% similarity in the banding pattern between the accessions.

The paper presents the results of multiple correlations and regression modeling of the cattle weight gain production cost. Based on actual data of farms, a comparative assessment of developed models was carried out for the first time with the use of panel data models and so called ‘farms-years’ method. The most significant factors affecting the change in the production cost of cattle weight gain were identified both for individual stages and for the entire period of the study in agricultural organizations of the Republic of Bashkortostan. Specific effects that reflect the characteristics of individual farms, and temporary effects, showing the influence of internal and external factors, state programs for the development of the industry, were determined. The introduction of the proposed analysis methodology contributes to further increase in live-stock production. At the same time, it helps to reduce the cost of production and improve production efficiency.

Fungi of the Colletotrichum genus are among the most prominent phytopathogens that cause diseases with a considerable economic impact, such as anthracnose. The hemibiotrophic fungus Colletotrichum lindemuthianum (teleomorph Glomerella cingulata f. sp. phaseoli) is the causal agent of the anthracnose of the common bean; and similarly to other phytopathogens, it uses multiple strategies to gain access to different carbon sources from its host. In this study, we examine mfs1, a newly identified C. lindemuthianum hexose transporter. The mfs1 gene is expressed only during the necrotrophic phase of the fungus’ interaction within the plant and allows it to utilize the available sugars during this phase. The deletion of mfs1 gene resulted in differential growth of the fungus in a medium that contained glucose, mannose or fructose as the only carbon source. This study is the first to describe a hexose transporter in the hemibiotrophic pathogen C. lindemuthianum and to demonstrate the central role of this protein in capturing carbon sources during the necrotrophic development of the plant/pathogen interaction.
