Effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide on survival and oxidative status of a non-target herbivore, the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlin…
2019
Glyphosate is the globally most used herbicide against a wide range of weeds. Glyphosate has been considered safe to animals as it mainly targets physiological pathways in plants. However, recent toxicological studies have revealed that glyphosate can cause various toxic effects also on animals. In this study, we investigated the direct toxic effects of a glyphosate-based herbicide (GBH, Roundup® Bio) on 1) survival and 2) oxidative status of a non-target herbivore by using Colorado potato beetles (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), originating from Poland and USA, as model species. Larvae were randomly divided into three groups: 1) high concentration (100% Roundup Bio, 360 g/l), 2) low concentrat…
Le score de propension : un guide méthodologique pour les recherches expérimentales et quasi expérimentales en éducation
2016
La méthode du score de propension devient de plus en plus populaire pour estimer les effets causaux d’un programme d’intervention. Si les applications empiriques de cette méthode sont encore rares dans les recherches en éducation, des exemples de son utilisation se trouvent aisément dans d’autres disciplines. Cependant, sa mise en place soulève plusieurs questions. L’objectif de cet article est de fournir des éléments de réponses guidant le chercheur et l’évaluateur du domaine de l’éducation pour l’estimation et l’utilisation du score de propension. Les différentes étapes de son application sont présentées pas à pas : évaluation du biais de sélection, construction du score de propension et …
The Putative Metal Coordination Motif in the Endonuclease Domain of Human Parvovirus B19 NS1 Is Critical for NS1 Induced S Phase Arrest and DNA Damage
2011
The non-structural proteins (NS) of the parvovirus family are highly conserved multi-functional molecules that have been extensively characterized and shown to be integral to viral replication. Along with NTP-dependent helicase activity, these proteins carry within their sequences domains that allow them to bind DNA and act as nucleases in order to resolve the concatameric intermediates developed during viral replication. The parvovirus B19 NS1 protein contains sequence domains highly similar to those previously implicated in the above-described functions of NS proteins from adeno-associated virus (AAV), minute virus of mice (MVM) and other non-human parvoviruses. Previous studies have show…
Lipocalins in Arthropod Chemical Communication.
2021
Abstract Lipocalins represent one of the most successful superfamilies of proteins. Most of them are extracellular carriers for hydrophobic ligands across aqueous media, but other functions have been reported. They are present in most living organisms including bacteria. In animals they have been identified in mammals, molluscs, and arthropods; sequences have also been reported for plants. A subgroup of lipocalins, referred to as odorant-binding proteins (OBPs), mediate chemical communication in mammals by ferrying specific pheromones to the vomeronasal organ. So far, these proteins have not been reported as carriers of semiochemicals in other living organisms; instead chemical communicatio…

Endoreduplication induced in cultured Chinese hamster cells by different anti-topoisomerase II chemicals
2005
With the ultimate purpose of testing the hypothesis that, as shown in yeast mutants, any malfunction of DNA topoisomerase II might result in aberrant mitosis due to defective chromosome segregation, we have chosen three chemicals of different nature, recently reported to catalytically inhibit the enzyme. The endpoint selected to assess any negative effect on the ability of topoisomerase II to properly carry out decatenation of fully replicated chromosomes in the G2/M phase of the cell cycle was the presence of metaphases showing diplochromosomes as a result of endoreduplication, i.e. two successive rounds of DNA replication without intervening mitosis. The anti-topoisomerase drugs selected …

Detection of Duplicated Regions in Tampered Digital Images by Bit-Plane Analysis
2009
In this paper we present a new method for searching duplicated areas in a digital image. The goal is to detect if an image has been tampered by a copy-move process. Our method works within a convenient domain. The image to be analyzed is decomposed in its bit-plane representation. Then, for each bitplane, block of bits are encoded with an ASCII code, and a sequence of strings is analyzed rather than the original bit-plane. The sequence is lexicographically sorted and similar groups of bits are extracted as candidate areas, and passed to the following plane to be processed. Output of the last planes indicates if, and where, the image has been altered.
Does Capital Structure Influence Company Profitability?
2017
Abstract Every company has a different structure of balance sheet. Some of the companies have more liabilities than equity. Considering the industry or debt-to-equity ratio, the balance sheet structure affects the company profitability measured by DuPont system. The main objective of the paper is to analyze the structure of balance sheet and to identify some optimal levels in order to increase company profitability. The DuPont returns like ROA (return on assets) and ROE (return on equity) will be used to measure the company profitability, while the debt-to-equity ratio will be used as a measure (reflection) of capital structure. The samples consist on the most profitable non-financial compa…
The comparison of cellulolytic activity of the modified soil treated with Roundup
2016
Aktywność mikroorganizmów gleby wpływa na jej żyzność oraz strukturę, co pozwala uzyskać satysfakcjonujące plony, między innymi dzięki przemianom materii organicznej w próchnicę. Proces ten zachodzi w obecności różnych grup mikroorganizmów, których aktywność może być zaburzona w wyniku stosowania przez rolników zarówno nawozów sztucznych, jak i organicznych oraz pestycydów. Ważnym ogniwem w obiegu węgla w biosferze jest degradacja celulozy. Rozkład celulozy zachodzi przy udziale drobnoustrojów o aktywności celulolitycznej, które produkują enzymy kompleksu celulaz. Celem pracy było porównanie aktywności celulolitycznej gleby wzbogaconej fosforanem mocznika i/lub obornikiem po opryskaniu pows…
