Abiotisko un biotisko faktoru ietekmes analīze veģetācijas eksperimentos ar jūras piekrastes reto un aizsargājamo augu sugām

2017

Darba mērķis bija veikt daudzfaktoru eksperimentus un aprobēt veģetācijas pētījuma metodiku jūras piekrastes reto un aizsargājamo augu sugu fizioloģiskajiem pētījumiem, lai noskaidrotu dabisko faktoru iespējamo ietekmi. Piekrastes zonas ir dinamiski mainīgas vietas, kurās sastopamas daudzas endēmas augu sugas, no kurām liela daļa ir retas un aizsargājamas. Eksperimentos izmantoja četras jūras piekrastes retās un aizsargājamās augu sugas - smiltāja neļķi (Dianthus arenarius), jūrmalas pērkonamoliņu (Anthyllis maritima), jūrmalas ceļteku (Plantago maritima) un jūrmalas āžloku (Triglochin maritimum). Augu sugas pavairoja ar sēklām vai veģetatīvi un atkarībā no sugas ekoloģijas, veica piekraste…

Sustaining Attention for a Prolonged Duration Affects Dynamic Organizations of Frequency-Specific Functional Connectivity

2020

Sustained attention encompasses a cascade of fundamental functions. The human ability to implement a sustained attention task is supported by brain networks that dynamically formed and dissolved through oscillatory synchronization. The decrement of vigilance induced by prolonged task engagement affects sustained attention. However, little is known about which stage or combinations are affected by vigilance decrement. Here, we applied an analysis framework composed of weighted phase lag index (wPLI) and tensor component analysis (TCA) to an EEG dataset collected during 80 min sustained attention task to examine the electrophysiological basis of such effect. We aimed to characterize the phase…

Vins d’appellations et gastronomie régionale. La genèse bourguignonne d’un modèle novateur (années 1920-1930)

2016

Boire du vin au restaurant, le choisir ou le faire choisir en fonction du plat sélectionné, étudier la carte des boissons tout comme le menu, ou encore commenter les domaines et les millésimes, sont des actes totalement intégrés par les amateurs de gastronomie du XXIe siècle. Et même si les associations mets vins tendent à s’internationaliser, déguster un produit local avec un vin du cru reste un moment important pour nombre de personnes souhaitant visiter une région. Cette démarche, si commune aujourd’hui, résulte pourtant d’un processus historique finalement assez récent et dont l’évidence contemporaine n’a rien de manifeste historiquement. En France au début du XXe siècle seulement, et d…

Spatiotemporal and gender‐specific parasitism in two species of gobiid fish

2018

Abstract Parasitism is considered a major selective force in natural host populations. Infections can decrease host condition and vigour, and potentially influence, for example, host population dynamics and behavior such as mate choice. We studied parasite infections of two common marine fish species, the sand goby (Pomatoschistus minutus) and the common goby (Pomatoschistus microps), in the brackish water Northern Baltic Sea. We were particularly interested in the occurrence of parasite taxa located in central sensory organs, such as eyes, potentially affecting fish behavior and mate choice. We found that both fish species harbored parasite communities dominated by taxa transmitted to fish…

Enhancement of hepatitis C virus RNA replication by cell culture-adaptive mutations.

2001

ABSTRACT Studies of the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) replication cycle have been made possible with the development of subgenomic selectable RNAs that replicate autonomously in cultured cells. In these replicons the region encoding the HCV structural proteins was replaced by the neomycin phosphotransferase gene, allowing the selection of transfected cells that support high-level replication of these RNAs. Subsequent analyses revealed that, within selected cells, HCV RNAs had acquired adaptive mutations that increased the efficiency of colony formation by an unknown mechanism. Using a panel of replicons that differed in their degrees of cell culture adaptation, in this study we show that adaptive…

Viral and cellular determinants of hepatitis C virus RNA replication in cell culture.

2003

Studies on the replication of hepatitis C virus (HCV) have been facilitated by the development of selectable subgenomic replicons replicating in the human hepatoma cell line Huh-7 at a surprisingly high level. Analysis of the replicon population in selected cells revealed the occurrence of cell culture-adaptive mutations that enhance RNA replication substantially. To gain a better understanding of HCV cell culture adaptation, we characterized conserved mutations identified by sequence analysis of 26 independent replicon cell clones for their effect on RNA replication. Mutations enhancing replication were found in nearly every nonstructural (NS) protein, and they could be subdivided into at …

The human autoantigen La/SS-B accelerates herpes simplex virus type 1 replication in transfected mouse 3T3 cells.

1998

SUMMARY Permanently transfected mouse cell lines which expressed different levels of the human autoantigen La/SS-B were infected with different strains of herpes simplex virus type 1, including the strains ANG, HSZP, 17syn+ and HFEM. During infection the localization of the human La protein was followed using an anti-La MoAb, which recognized only the human La protein but did not cross-react with either the endogenous mouse La protein or any viral encoded protein. After infection La protein was transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. The time course of translocation was dependent on the amount of human La protein expressed in the respective cell line. Moreover, acceleration of viral …

Why viruses sometimes disperse in groups?

2019

AbstractMany organisms disperse in groups, yet this process is understudied in viruses. Recent work, however, has uncovered different types of collective infectious units, all of which lead to the joint delivery of multiple viral genome copies to target cells, favoring co-infections. Collective spread of viruses can occur through widely different mechanisms, including virion aggregation driven by specific extracellular components, cloaking inside lipid vesicles, encasement in protein matrices, or binding to cell surfaces. Cell-to-cell viral spread, which allows the transmission of individual virions in a confined environment, is yet another mode of clustered virus dissemination. Nevertheles…
