Analysis of Early Host Responses for Asymptomatic Disease Detection and Management of Specialty Crops

2010

The rapid and unabated spread of vector-borne diseases within US specialty crops threatens our agriculture, our economy, and the livelihood of growers and farm workers. Early detection of vector-borne pathogens is an essential step for the accurate surveillance and management of vector-borne diseases of specialty crops. Currently, we lack the tools that would detect the infectious agent at early (primary) stages of infection with a high degree of sensitivity and specificity. In this paper, we outline a strategy for developing an integrated suite of platform technologies to enable rapid, early disease detection and diagnosis of huanglongbing (HLB), the most destructive citrus disease. The re…

Well-resolved unusual alternating cyclic water tetramers embedded in a crystal host

Guest-Host Systems of 1,3,5-Tristyrylbenzenes

(E,E,E)-1,3,5-Tris(3,4,5-trimethoxystyryl)benzene (1a) forms monoclinic crystals of the space group P21/c. Incorporation of three transoid diacetyl guest molecules between the three arms leads to triclinic crystals of the space group P1. The styryl groups, originally present in a nonsymmetrical conformation, are simultaneously transformed to a C3 arrangement. (E,E,E)-1,3,5-Tris- (3,4,5-tripropoxystyryl)benzene (1b) forms monoclinic crystals of the space group P21/c. The C3 arrangement of the styryl groups is present in the first, the unsymmetrical arrangement in the second modification. Incorporation of two acetone guests in the largest and the middle-sized angle space between the styryl ar…

Reversing the Trend: a Psychosocial Intervention on Young Immigrants in Sicily

2018

Intervention projects based on providing support for immigrants can offer a number of benefits with regard to the social inclusion of young immigrants. Therefore, the actions suggested in this proposal may not only create a network between institutions and the private sector capable of supporting the intervention of a host country, but may also help to reduce the risk of crime as well as advocating a sense of otherness and integration. The approach to the project, a psychosocial intervention carried out on four young Africans who reached Sicily after crossing the Sicilian Channel on a dilapidated boat, has chiefly been to provide the four individuals with the chance to revisit their origina…

Muñequitos rusos: la nostalgia y su contexto en la diáspora cubana

2015

Resumen: El presente articulo examina la importancia de la influencia sovietica en la Cuba revolucionaria como incentivo para la vinculacion afectiva transnacional entre emigrados cubanos, a traves del analisis de las entradas e interacciones del blog Munequitos Rusos, creado con el proposito de rescatar parte de la memoria colectiva de ese periodo reciente en la historia de la isla. Mi argumentacion se enfoca al consumo y produccion de “memorias mediaticas” en la diaspora, un espacio complejo que se caracteriza por la tension que ejercen el pais de origen y el de adopcion, en la vida cotidiana de los emigrados y en sus constantes intentos por definir sus lealtades e identidad. Parto de que…

Perceived challenges living and integrating into Finnish society : A study among immigrants in Finland

2022

The number of immigrants living in Finland has significantly increased since the 1990s. It can be challenging to live and integrate into a new society. This study explores the challenges immigrants face living and integrating into Finnish society. Drawing on data collected from 103 immigrants living in Finland, this study shows that the challenges immigrants face integrating into Finnish society can be classified into four main categories: (1) language barrier, (2) discrimination in employment opportunities, (3) racism and inequality, and (4) fewer opportunities of integration. Implications and recommendations are briefly considered.

Transcription of genes in the biosynthetic pathway for fumonisin mycotoxins is epigenetically and differentially regulated in the fungal maize pathog…

2012

ABSTRACT When the fungal pathogen Gibberella moniliformis (anamorph, Fusarium verticillioides ) colonizes maize and maize-based products, it produces class B fumonisin (FB) mycotoxins, which are a significant threat to human and animal health. FB biosynthetic enzymes and accessory proteins are encoded by a set of clustered and cotranscribed genes collectively named FUM, whose molecular regulation is beginning to be unraveled by researchers. FB accumulation correlates with the amount of transcripts from the key FUM genes, FUM1 , FUM21 , and FUM8 . In fungi in general, gene expression is often partially controlled at the chromatin level in secondary metabolism; when this is the case, the deac…
