John A. West,Giuseppe C. Zuccarello,Francisco F. Pedroche,Susan Loiseaux de Goër 한국조류학회I 2010 ALGAE Vol.25 No.4

The genus Rosenvingea is well known in the tropics. Four species have been reported from Pacific Mexico: R. floridana,R. antillarum, R. intricata and R. sanctae-crucis. We collected a plant (Boca del Cielo, Chiapas) that we identified as Rosenvingea orientalis, a species not previously reported from Pacific Mexico. We were able to characterize the life cycle of this species for the first time in laboratory culture. It reproduced exclusively by plurilocular sporangia (plurangia). The mature plants were up to 6 cm long with cylindrical to compressed fronds (to 2 mm wide) with dichotomous branches in the upper half of the thallus. The medulla was hollow with 2-3 layers of large inflated colourless cells at the periphery. The cortex was comprised of 1 layer of small cells, each with a single chloroplast and pyrenoid. Linear plurangial sori with phaeophycean hairs formed along the mature fronds. Zoospore germlings developed into prostrate filamentous systems, each with a single phaeophycean hair that gave rise to a single erect shoot with multiple hairs arising near the tip. Molecular phylogeny using the psaA gene placed this isolate within the Scytosiphonaceae. It does not confirm the exact identification of R. orientalis, although its placement close to other Rosenvingea sequences was confirmed and morphological evidence supports its placement in R. orientalis. Our culture investigations indicated that it has an asexual life cycle. Further collections are needed to resolve the full generic and specific relationships of Rosenvingea and related taxa, and their reproductive patterns.

West, John A.,Klochkova, Tatyana A.,Kim, Gwang Hoon,Loiseaux-de Goë,r, Susan Blackwell Publishing Asia 2006 Phycological research Vol.54 No.1

<P>SUMMARY</P><P><I>Olpidiopsis</I> sp. (Oomycota) was cultured with its original host <I>Bostrychia moritziana</I> (Sonder ex Kützing) J. Agardh from Madagascar. Bean-shaped zoospores with two heterokont flagella attached to the host cell wall surface and in 2 days host cells began collapsing and one or more syncytia developed in each infected cell. Zoospores were cleaved and an exit tube with a small plug was formed. Complete development and zoospore discharge occurred in 3 days. Infection occurred in cells of polysiphonous branches, monosiphonous branches, rhizoids and reproductive stichidia. Dead cells of plants treated with microwave were not infected. Susceptibility was variable in other <I>Bostrychia</I> species from different countries. <I>Bostrychia moritziana</I> (Sonder ex Kützing) J. Agardh<I>,</I> and <I>Bostrychia radicans</I> (Montagne) Montagne from Madagascar were susceptible but one <I>Bostrychia tenella</I> (J. V. Lamouroux) J. Agardh isolate from Madagascar was susceptible and two were not. <I>B. radicosa</I> (Itono) J. A. West, G. C. Zuccarello et M. Hommersand isolates from Madagascar, Thailand, Australia and New Caledonia were susceptible but an isolate from Malaysia was not. <I>B. radicans</I> isolates from Mexico and Brazil were non-susceptible as were <I>Bostrychia flagellifera</I> Post, <I>Bostrychia harveyi</I> Montagne, <I>Bostrychia montagnei</I> Harvey, <I>Bostrychia simpliciuscula</I> Harvey ex J. Agardh<I>, Bostrychia tenuissima</I> R. J. King et Puttock<I>, Stictosiphonia intricata</I>(Bory de Saint-Vincent) P. C. Silva, <I>Stictosiphonia kelanensis</I> (Grunow) R. J. King et Puttock and <I>Stictosiphonia tangatensis</I> (Post) R. J. King et Puttock, <I>Lophosiphonia</I> sp., <I>Neosiphonia</I> sp. and <I>Polysiphonia</I> spp. isolates were also non-susceptible. Many non-susceptible strains showed initial cell-collapse followed by rapid wound-repair cell formation without syncytia or sporangia developing. <I>Caloglossa leprieurii</I> (Montagne) G. Martens from Madagascar showed cell-collapse and wound-repair in periaxial cells, but wing cells died and became purple without wound-repair. <I>Caloglossa ogasawaraensis</I> Okamura and <I>Caloglossa postiae</I> M. Kamiya et R. J. King had no symptoms of infection. <I>Dasysiphonia chejuensis</I> I. K. Lee et J. A. West was not infected. Surprisingly, the conchocelis phase but not the blade phase of <I>Porphyra pulchella</I> J. A.West, G. C. Zuccarello and <I>Porphyra suborbiculata</I> Kjellman was infected. The conchocelis of <I>Porphyra tenera</I> Kjellman and <I>Porphyra linearis</I> Greville were infected but no blade stages were tested. <I>Porphyra miniata</I> (C. Agardh) C. Agardh and <I>Porphyra dentata</I> Kjellman conchocelis were not infected. <I>Bangia atropurpurea</I> (Roth) C. Agardh gametophyte filaments were not infected. Other red, brown and green algae were not infected. Time lapse videomicroscopy of development and spore release was done.</P>

On the genus Rhodella, the emended orders Dixoniellales and Rhodellales with a new order Glaucosphaerales (Rhodellophyceae, Rhodophyta)

Joe Scott,Eun Chan Yang,John A. West,Akiko Yokoyama,Hee Jeong Kim,Susan Loiseaux de Goër,Charles J. O’Kelly,Evguenia Orlova,김수연,Jeong Kwang Park,윤환수 한국조류학회I 2011 ALGAE Vol.26 No.4

The marine unicellular red algal genus Rhodella was established in 1970 by L. V. Evans with a single species R. maculata based on nuclear projections into the pyrenoid. Porphyridium violaceum was described by P. Kornmann in 1965 and transferred to Rhodella by W. Wehrmeyer in 1971 based on plastid features and the non-parietal position of the nucleus. Molecular and fine structural evidences have now revealed that Rhodella maculata and R. violacea are one species, so R. violacea has nomenclatural priority and the correct name is Rhodella violacea (Kornmann) Wehrmeyer. The status of families within Rhodellophyceae was examined. The order Dixoniellales and family Dixoniellaceae are emended to include only Dixoniella and Neorhodella. The order Rhodellales and family Rhodellaceae are emended to include Rhodella and Corynoplastis. Glaucosphaera vacuolata Korshikov and the Glaucosphaeraceae Skuja (1954) with an emended description are transferred to the Glaucosphaerales ord. nov.

Correction to: Engineering Magnetic Type Radio‑Absorbers Based on Composites with a Dual‑Phase Polymer Matrix

Gořalík Marek,Jurča Marek,Bubulinca Constantin,Babayan Vladimír A.,Vilčáková Jarmila,Kazantseva Natalia E.,Sáha Petr 대한금속·재료학회 2022 ELECTRONIC MATERIALS LETTERS Vol.18 No.5

This work is focused on the optimization of electromagnetic and mechanical properties of magnetic polymer composites for EMI applications as radio absorbers (RAs). Polymer composites with a dual-phase polymer matrix, vinyl-terminated polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in epoxy (ER), were investigated for fabricating highlyfilled manganese zinc ferrite (MnZn) and carbonyl iron (CI) composites with respect to radio-absorption and mechanical properties. The dielectric and magnetic properties of the composites were determined by the type, concentration as well as the polymer matrix composition. Increase of the filler and the PDMS concentration leads to an increase in magnetic losses due to a decrease in the demagnetizing field. The electromagnetic properties of the composites were evaluated in the RF band using the impedance method (1 MHz–3 GHz). Based on the complex permittivity (ε*) and the complex permeability (μ*), the reflection loss RL (dB) of single-layer metal-backed RAs were calculated. The RAs with a MnZn ferrite demonstrated a larger bandwidth to thickness ratio in comparison with the CI-based RAs due to a proper ratio between ε* and μ* which leads to the better impedance matching conditions. According to the mechanical analyses (DMA, Charpy impact strength) the significant increase of stiffness up to 125% and the impact strength up to 150% was achieved due to the optimal composition of the polymer matrix and the filler.

Development and validation of a method for the analysis of cafenstrole and its metabolite in brown rice grains and rice straw using high-performance liquid chromatography

Abd El-Aty, A. M.,Lee, Go-Woon,Mamun, M. I. R.,Choi, Jeong-Heui,Cho, Soon-Kil,Shin, Ho-Chul,Shim, Jae-Han John Wiley Sons, Ltd. 2008 Biomedical chromatography Vol.22 No.3

<P>The present work reports the extraction and clean-up procedures, as well as the chromatographic conditions developed, for the determination of cafenstrole and its metabolite (CHM-03) residues in brown rice grains and rice straw using HPLC-UV detection. The method makes use of an Apollo C<SUB>18</SUB> column and acetonitrile : water : acetic acid as a mobile phase for both cafenstrole and its metabolite in rice and rice straw. Using these conditions cafenstrole and its metabolite were resolved with a retention time (R<SUB>t</SUB>) of less than 14 min. The analytes were confirmed using positive atmospheric pressure ionization LC-MS with selected ion monitoring. The average recoveries of cafenstrole were found to be 87.0–92.5 and 87.6–88.3%. However, they ranged from 81.5 to 81.6% and from 76.1 to 78.5% for cafenstrole metabolite (CHM-03), in rice grains and rice straw, respectively, with relative standard deviations ranging from 1.4 to 6.6%. The limits of detection (LODs) of both cafenstrole and its metabolite were 0.002 and 0.02 ppm and 0.025 and 0.04 ppm, respectively. Field trials with recommended or double the recommended dose revealed that the herbicide could safely be recommended for application in rice and rice straw as no residues were detected in the harvest samples.

Monosiphonous growth and cell-death in an unusual Bostrychia (Rhodomelaceae, Rhodophyta): B. anomala sp. nov.

John A. west,Susan Loiseaux de Goër,Giuseppe C. Zuccarello 한국조류학회I 2013 ALGAE Vol.28 No.2

A morphologically distinct lineage within the Bostrychia moritziana-B. radicans species complex is described as a new species. Bostrychia anomala has thalli with branched monosiphonous filaments with apical cell divisions. The species has terminal tetrasporangial stichidia, each subtending cell bearing tetrasporangia with 2 cover cells. Discharged spores divide transversely, the lower cell first forming a narrow rhizoid and the upper cell forming a monosiphonous shoot. Females have subterminal procarps and males have terminal spermatangial stichidia. Carposporophytes are spherical. Isolates in culture show a pattern of cell death not associated with injury, reminiscent of programmed cell death. Bostrychia anomola shows cell death at intervals along the filaments resulting in division of adjacent cells on either side of the dead cell re-joining the filament; cell division of only one adjacent cell resulting in branching at that site; or filaments fragmenting at the cell death point with adjacent cells forming new apical cells, a means of thallus propagation. The cell death pattern could be a method of filament propagation in the mangrove environment where sexual reproduction is rare.

Purpose: This study aims to identify the impact that cultural intelligence and learning engagement of Korean overseas students in Korea have in depression, also, to propose direction for further research, and to suggest a nursing intervention program that aims to the reduction of depression in overseas students. Methods:. The selected participants of the present study were Korean Overseas University Students enrolled in a special admission for overseas students. Data were obtained through the use of SPSS Window 25 and analyzed using descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe test, Pearsons correlation coefficient, and multiple linear regression analysis. Results: Depression in Korean overseas university students is influenced by the education system(ß=-.193, p=.046) and continent of residency(ß=0.197, p=.03). It is necessary to take into account the differences of education systems as well as the cultural differences from where they come from for the purpose of reducing depression rates in overseas Koreans. Conclusion: The results of this study show that depression in Korean overseas students is related to the differences in continents of residency and the education systems. Consequently, the development and implementation of a nursing intervention program considering both factors, the continent and education system, has become a necessity that relates to the reduction of depression in Korean overseas students.
