▼ The gene encoding the protein 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylate synthase (
ACC synthase) has been extensively studied in plant species because of its role in regulating the formation of the plant hormone, ethylene. Although the
ACC synthase gene has been heavily studied in angiosperms, it has never been cloned from a gymnosperm species. This dissertation presents the cloning of a gene, PTACS-1, with high homology to
ACC synthase, from Pinus taeda (loblolly pine), a commercially important tree in the southern U.S. Additionally, a shorter nearly identical transcript, PTACS-1s was identified. Expression of the PTACS-1 and PTACS-1s transcripts was measured using quantitative PCR in tissues throughout the tree, and in response to known elicitors of
ACC synthase gene transcription. Further, the expression of PTACS-1 and PTACS-1s were monitored in response to known elicitors of compression wood, a reaction wood formed in gymnosperms. Putative roles for PTACS-1 in compression wood development are discussed.

▼ Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), mostly equipped on high end vehicles, is an
optional cruise control system which automatically adjusts the vehicle speed and maintains
a safe distance ahead. The control strategy for ACC, which has been developed for decades, is still well worth being researched. In this thesis, a hierarchical control system architecture was proposed, which divides the controllers into supervisory ones and vehicle level ones. Three control methods, named linear quadratic regulator (LQR), robust LQR (RLQR), and
robust composite nonlinear feedback (RCNF) control, were applied as supervisory controllers respectively. And the active disturbance rejection control (ADRC) was chosen as the vehicle level controller. An electric robotic vehicle was built for demonstration and validation. Simulations and experiments were carried out with detailed discussions, which provide a guidance towards future research.

▼ Animals integrate motivational states with signals from the environment (e.g. learned cues) and signals from the body (e.g. muscle fatigue) to make decisions about how much effort to exert for different possible rewards. Previous research has implicated the anterior cingulate cortex (
ACC) in processing information during effort-related decision-making. Here, we use fMRI to record activity in the
ACC and other prefrontal cortical areas while subjects integrate motivation, stimulus cues, and bodily signals during the moments leading up to a decision regarding exerting high physical effort to obtain a secondary reward. We show that caudal
ACC areas co-activate with premotor areas prior to a decision to exert high physical force. On the other hand, more rostral
ACC areas co-activate with lateral OFC prior to a decision to avoid high effort. We also show that mid-rostral dACC co- activates with LPFC areas during presentation of the high-reward/high-effort cues, which suggests
ACC involvement in recruiting attention systems in response to cues predicting reward.

Veliki broj vrsta roda Lactobacillus zauzima
ključno mesto u proizvodnji fermentisanih mlečnih i mesnih
proizvoda, prisutni su i u fermentisanom povrću i proizvodima od
žitarica. Laktobacili se takođe koriste i u medicini usled
pozitivnih efekata koje pojedini sojevi imaju na zdravlje domaćina.
Pojedini sojevi laktobacila imaju i probiotski potencijal
zahvaljujući sposobnosti produkcije različitih antimikrobnih
jedinjenja, egzopolisaharida (EPS), proteinaza i dr. Vrste roda
Lactobacillus poseduju potencijal da inhibiraju rast konkurentskih
mikroorganizama u ekološkim nišama koje naseljavaju, korišćenjem
širokog spektra različitih odbrambenih mehanizama uključujući
proizvodnju velikog broja metaboličkih nusproizvoda, kao i mnogih
biološki aktivnih agenasa proteinske prirode kao što bakteriocini.
Sojevi koji proizvode više od jednog bakteriocina sa uskim, ali
različitim inhibitornim spektrom, imaju veće šanse za opstanak u
okruženju koje dele sa blisko srodnim vrstama sa kojima su u
kompeticiji za iste nutrijente. Veliki broj sojeva proizvođača
bakteriocina objašnjava se činjenicom da su bakteriocinske
genetičke determinante često locirane na mobilnim genetičkim
elementima, kao što su konjugativni plazmidi ili transpozoni, što
omogućava njihovu široku distribuciju putem horizontalnog transfera
gena. Cilj ove doktorske teze bio je da se utvrdi antimikrobni
potencijal 52 soja Lactobacillus casei/paracasei grupe, zatim da se
utvrdi rasprostranjenost bakteriocinskih gena neophodnih za
produkciju bakteriocina BacSJ i acidocina 8912, a potom i
korelacija prisustva bakteriocinskih gena i proizvodnje
bakteriocina kod analiziranih sojeva. Ovakav pristup omogućio je
identifikaciju potencijalnih bakteriocinskih gena kao i novih
bakteriocina nezavisno od toga da li je analizirani bakterijski soj
identifikovan kao proizvođač bakteriocina...

▼ Resumo: A cultura da cana-de-açúcar (Saccharum spp) está entre as mais importantes do Brasil, tendo o setor sucroalcooleiro grande importância econômica no país devido ao crescente consumo de álcool e açúcar. A fase de maturação no desenvolvimento da cana-de-açúcar é especialmente interessante, pois está diretamente relacionada com o teor de sacarose. O hormônio etileno está envolvido em muitos aspectos do ciclo de vida da planta, incluindo a maturação. Como primeira parte deste projeto, o objetivo foi avaliar a relação entre etileno e maturação de cana-de-açúcar pela caracterização da expressão dos genes que codificam as isoformas da enzima
ACC sintase, responsável por uma das vias da biossíntese desse hormônio. Assim, dois genes (Scacs1 e Scacs2) que codificam para a enzima
ACC sintase foram identificados no projeto SUCEST e caracterizados. Nossos resultados de localização subcelular confirmaram estudos anteriores sobre a localização citoplasmática das proteínas ACS. Todavia, nós identificamos por análise in silico a presença de um peptídeo sinal na região N-terminal da proteína ScACS2. Ensaios de duplo-híbrido com bibliotecas de cDNAs a partir de tecidos de folha +1 e entrenó 5, nos revelaram novas interações putativas com a proteína ScACS2, sendo uma delas, a proteína denominada sinaptotagmina envolvida no mecanismo de reparo da membrana celular. Ao contrário do que foi observado em Arabidopsis, nossos resultados de heterodimerização não identificaram uma interação entre as isoformas de cana-de-açúcar. Análise de expressão por PCR quantitativo em duas variedades contrastantes ao teor de sacarose, identificaram uma maior expressão nos entrenós madurados quando comparados aos entrenós jovens para os dois genes ACS. Em uma estudo in situ da expressão, o gene Scacs1 apresentou uma expressão nas células do parenquima e nas células da bainha do feixe vascular, entretanto, não mostrou expressão nos feixes vasculares. Por outro lado, o gene Scacs2 apresentou expressão constitutiva nos diferentes tipos celulares e, inclusive, nos feixes vasculares. Os resultados apresentados nesse trabalho, abrem novas perspectivas e perguntas para os diversos mecanismos fisiológicos e celulares realizados pelo hormônio etileno nas plantas. Todavia, uma prática comum antes da colheita da cana é a aplicação de precursores do hormônio etileno, como o etefon (ácido 2-cloroetil fosfônico) para acelerar o amadurecimento final das plantas, inibir o florescimento e consequentemente aumentar o teor de sacarose. Assim, a manipulação da biossíntese desse hormônio tem o potencial para aumentar a produtividade em cana. Desta forma, um segundo objetivo deste projeto foi desenvolver uma estratégia para promover o amadurecimento controlado da cana-de-açúcar no final da safra, usando o etanol em substituição aos análogos químicos do etileno. Para tal, foi avaliado o uso de um promotor ativado por etanol (sistema de expressão alc de Aspergillus nidulans) controlando a expressão do gene que codifica a
ACC sintase, enzima chave na biossíntese de etileno.…

▼ A new paradigm for the formation of calcified skeletons suggests mineralization proceeds through amorphous calcium carbonate (
ACC) precursors. The implications of this strategy in carbonate crystallization are widespread, particularly for understanding factors controlling impurity and isotopic signatures in calcium carbonates. The first chapter is a literature review of the biomineralization processes used by two important model organisms: the sea urchin larva and the foraminifera. Sea urchin larvae provide a thoroughly studied example of mineralization by an
ACC pathway that is under biological control through regulation of protein chemistry and the local mineralization environment. A review of how foraminifera produce their test structures is also examined to explore the question of how organisms regulate the Mg content in proportion to the temperature their environments of formation. The second chapter demonstrates that acidic biomolecules regulate the composition of
ACC for a suite of model carboxylated molecules. The physical basis for the systematic trend in Mg content is related to the ability of the affinity of the biomolecule for binding Ca versus Mg. The third chapter builds on these findings to explore the transformation of Mg-rich
ACC precursors to calcites of exceptionally high Mg-contents that could not be produced by classical step-dominated growth processes. The data indicate that these materials are likely a result of a nucleation-dominated pathway. The final, fourth chapter develops Raman spectroscopy-based calibrations for determining Mg contents in
ACC. The calibrations are based upon peak position or peak width of the carbonate υ₁ stretch.

▼ In the Southern Ocean, strong jets interact with large topographic features along the path of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. These interactions generate eddies which in turn, impact the transport of passive tracers, the energy pathways through the ocean system and the meridional overturning circulation, all of which contribute to global ocean circulation and climate. This thesis investigates the dynamical processes underlying jet-eddy-topography interactions in the Southern Ocean.Firstly, topography impacts the eddy-induced lateral mixing of tracers. A two-layer quasigeostrophic ocean model is used to simulate an unstable jet impinging on an isolated seamount and quantify the resulting tracer mixing. In the absence of topography, the flow grows unstable and generates eddy-induced mixing as it evolves downstream. When a small seamount is present, eddies are enhanced in the lee of topography, increasing the mixing intensity relative to the flat-bottom case. When the topography is high, the spatial pattern of eddy activity and mixing is altered, with elevated eddy kinetic energy (EKE) and strong mixing occurring upstream, while mixing suppression occurs immediately downstream of the obstacle.Secondly, the topographic contribution to deep EKE is investigated using numerical simulations of idealised jet-topography interactions. The energy budget analysis performed identifies two energy sources for deep EKE, the relative magnitude of which depend on the topography and upstream flow characteristics. In particular, a jet impinging on a seamount generates EKE through the work of Reynolds stress, while an increase in the jet baroclinicity enhances the contribution from eddy form stress. The presence of a meridional ridge increases both energy sources, generating much larger values of EKE at depth compared to seamount or flat-bottom cases.Lastly, eddies around topography contribute to meridional overturning by transporting water polewards across the time-mean jet core. This eddy-driven poleward transport occurs only where EKE is growing through baroclinic instability, rather than in regions of elevated EKE. In addition, horizontal shear instability supports EKE growth without resulting in cross-jet transport by eddies.The results in this thesis highlight the key role of instability mechanisms in setting the magnitudeand location of eddy fluxes near topography in the Southern Ocean.

▼ Bath application of dopamine (DA) (50 μM) caused a significant, rapid and reversible inhibition of evoked AMPA receptor mediated EPSCs (eEPSC). This inhibitory effect is dose-related and was absent in lower concentration of DA (5 μM). Furthermore, selective postsynaptic application of GDP-β-S (1.6 mM) in the internal solution completely abolished the inhibitory effects of DA (50 μM). We also investigated modulation of spontaneous EPSCs (sEPSCs) and TTX sensitive, miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs) by DA. Our results indicated mixed effects of enchantment and inhibition of frequency and amplitude for sEPSCs and mEPSCs. Furthermore, high doses of SCH23390 (100 μM) and sulpiride (100 μM) revealed that, inhibition of eEPSCs is mediated by postsynaptic D2-receptors (D2R). Our finding posits a pre- and postsynaptic mode of pyramidal neuron EPSC modulation in mice ACC by DA.

▼ The primary objective of the research underpinning this thesis has been to develop a framework that supports the implementation of community sports injury prevention programmes. Despite the wide acceptance of van Mechelen’s [1] widely accepted four-stage framework, known as the sequence of prevention, most research still focuses on his first two stages which address the incidence and causes/mechanics of injuries rather than the important third stage of implementing preventive measures. This thesis focuses on the implementation stage and proposes a new FREED framework for community sports injury prevention (Funding, Resources, Environment, Evaluation and Delivery). The FREED framework is the outcome of extensive analysis of the results of programmes implemented in New Zealand that have shown a decrease in the number and costs of injuries in a number of sports that have a strong community base.
A series of sport injury prevention programmes were developed, implemented, and assessed in cost-benefit terms for their effectiveness in changing behaviour and reducing injury counts and costs. The publications documenting the various programmes and methods of analyses are presented as chapters in this thesis. From lessons learnt during the research for each of the publications, themes were extracted and used to create the FREED framework. The FREED framework identifies key factors that have contributed to the success or failure of community sport injury prevention in New Zealand. In the final chapter, a case study of the application of the FREED framework to the New Zealand Rugby League injury prevention programme demonstrates the strengths and weakness of the approach in the real world of community sports.
Development of a comprehensive framework for community sports injury prevention necessitated consideration of three thematic areas: 1) Specific sports (rugby union, football, netball); 2) Different participants (players, coaches, administrators), and 3) Injuries of different kinds from minor ones, such as dental, through to catastrophic ones such as spinal injury or concussion. The first New Zealand example of an effective injury prevention programme that took account of all of these was the 88% reduction in catastrophic spinal injuries from the scrum in rugby union. This followed the implementation of the scrum injury prevention programme in 2001.
A more general sports concussion injury prevention programme resulted in a decrease in concussion claims for sports that the programme targeted (snow, horse and rugby) and a 66% decrease in the time players were waiting before seeking concussion treatment. The return on investment (ROI) in the rugby concussion programme alone was a minimum of $12.60 per dollar invested. This return on investment is reflective of the benefits, in fiscal terms of the reduction of injuries.
Analysis of the effectiveness of injury prevention programmes in changing behaviour and reducing injury counts and costs in a range of community sports environments showed positive ROI ranging from $2.41 to…

▼ Avaliou-se o efeito do estresse salino na germinação de sementes de três espécies de Stylosanthes, gênero de leguminosas tropicais forrageiras, examinando-se suas interrelações com a rota biossintética do etileno, via produção de ácido 1-carboxílico-1- aminociclopropano (ACC). A germinação e a produção de etileno de sementes escarificadas de S. humilis foram inibidas por soluções de NaCl, mas não por soluções isosmóticas de PEG-6000. Os efeitos inibitórios do NaCl sobre a germinação e a biossíntese de etileno foram completamente revertidos, após a transferência das sementes para água desionizada. Ademais, o ACC reverteu a inibição da germinação provocada por solução de NaCl, resultado que se correlacionou com a produção de etileno. Assim, a inibição por NaCl na germinação daquelas sementes parece uma consequência da condição de estresse provocada pelas altas concentrações do Na, por inibição da produção de etileno. Sob a ação do NaCl a capacidade de biossíntese de etileno mostrou-se maior em sementes de S. guianensis do que em sementes de S. humilis e S. capitata, o que se mostrou correlacionado com as respectivas taxas de germinação. Plântulas de S. guianensis também exibiram maiores taxas de crescimento e de sobrevivência do que plântulas de S. humilis e S. capitata, sob o estresse do sal. As diferentes habilidades de biossintetizar etileno entre as sementes de S. guianensis, S. humilis e S. capitata podem explicar diferenças na tolerância à salinidade das três espécies.
The effect of salt stress on germination of scarified seeds of Stylosanthes, a tropical forage legume genus was evaluated by examinating their interrelationships with the ethylene biosynthetic pathway via production of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). Germination and ethylene production of seeds of S. humilis were inhibited with NaCl solutions, but not with isosmotic solutions of PEG-6000. The inhibitory effects of NaCl on both germination and ethylene biosynthesis were fully reversible following seed transfer to deionised water. Moreover, ACC reversed the inhibition of germination induced by NaCl, a result positively that correlated with the production of ethylene. Thus, inhibition of seed germination by NaCl seems to be a consequence of a stressing condition triggered by a high concentrations of Na inhibiting ethylene production. The ability of ethylene biosynthesis showed much larger in S. guianensis seeds treated with NaCl than in S. humilis and S. capitata seeds, which was also reflected in their germination levels. S. guianensis seedlings also exhibited higher growth and survival rates than S. humilis and S. capitata under salt stress. Furthermore, different quantitative abilities to synthesize ethylene by S. humilis, S. capitata and S. guianensis seeds could explain the differences in tolerance to NaCl stress by the three species.

▼ A large number of Lactobacillus species play an important role in the
production of fermented dairy products and meat products, and they are also
present in fermented vegetables and grain products. Lactobacilli are used in
medicine due to the positive effects that some strains have on the health of
the host. Some Lactobacillus strains have a probiotic potential due to their
ability to produce various antimicrobial compounds, exopolysaccharides (EPS),
proteinases and other. Species of the Lactobacillus genus have the potential
to inhibit the growth of competing microorganisms in the ecological niches
they inhabit, using a wide range of various defense mechanisms including the
production of a large number of secondary metabolic products, as well as many
biologically active proteinaceous agents, such as bacteriocins. Strains that
produce more than one bacteriocin with a narrow but different inhibitory
spectrum have a better chance to survive in an environment shared with
closely related species with which they are in competition for the same
nutrients. A presence of huge number of bacteriocin producing strains could
be explained by the fact that the bacteriocin genes were often located on
mobile genetic elements such as conjugative plasmids or transposons, allowing
their wide distribution via horizontal gene transfer. The aim of this
doctoral dissertation was to determine the antimicrobial potential of 52
strains of Lactobacillus casei/paracasei group, followed by a comparative
screening of the bacterial genomes in order to determine the distribution of
BacSJ and acidocin 8912 encoding genes, and also to determine the correlation
of presence of bacteriocin genes and bacteriocin production in the analyzed
strains. This approach enabled identification of potentially new bacteriocins
and putative bacteriocin genes regardless of whether the analyzed bacterial
strains produced bacteriocin. Strains of Lb. casei/paracasei group analyzed
in this study, isolates from fermented dairy products (different types of
cheese and kajmak) produced in households, were determined through
microbiological and biochemical tests and using molecular methods [PCR
reactions with (GTG)5 primer and sequencing of 16S rRNA gene]. Detection of
antimicrobial activity of strains from Lb. casei/paracasei group was
performed by bacteriocin activity assay using sensitive Lactobacillus and
Lactococcus indicator strains and cross-inhibition tests among bacteriocin
producer strains. To determine the distribution of genes encoding bacteriocin
BacSJ, acidocin 8912, ABCtransporter and accessory protein (Acc), PCR
analysis with specific primers for those genes was used. For the
re-establishment of the ability to produce BacSJ in BGNK1-62 strain, in which
the presence of a potential operon bacSJ2-8/bacSJ2-8i was identified, plasmid
pA2A was used. Plasmid pA2A was obtained by cloning of a PCR fragment
carrying abcT and acc genes, involved in transport of bacteriocin BacSJ, in
lactobacilli/lactococci/E. coli shuttle cloning…

▼ Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)
In automotive industry, driver assistance and active safety features are main areas
of research. This thesis concentrates on designing one of the famous ADAS system
feature called Adaptive cruise control. Feature development and analysis of various
functionalities involved in the system control are done using Petri Nets. A background
on the past and current ACC research is noted and taken as motivation. The idea
is to implement the adaptive cruise control system in Petri net and analyze how to
provide fault tolerance to the system. The system can be evaluated for various cases.
The ACC technology implemented in di erent cars were compared and discussed.
The interaction of the ACC module with other modules in the car is explained. The
cruise system's algorithm in Petri net is used as the basis for developing Adaptive
Cruise Control system's algorithm. The ACC system model is designed using Petri
nets and various Petri net functionalities like place invariant, transition invariant and
reachability tree of the model are analyzed. The results are veri ed using Matlab.
Controllers are introduced for ideal cases and are implemented in Petri nets. Then
the error cases are considered and fault tolerance techniques are carried out on the
model to identify the fault places.

▼ Coffee is the second most commercialized product in the world posing as an important source of income and jobs in several countries, mainly in developing countries such as Brazil, the largest producer and the second largest consumer of coffee in the world. Coffee quality, among other factors, is directly associated to the fruit ripening stage at harvest time, which is often highly asynchronous due to the sequential flowering found in coffee trees, and usually leads to a higher production costs and also a lower cup quality. Some studies suggest that coffee may constitute a climateric fruit indicating that ethylene plays an important role in the coffee fruit ripening process. Coffee early cultivars usually show a more uniform ripening process although little is known about the genetic factors that promote the earliness of ripening. Thus, this study aimed to in silico characterize the putative genes of the ethylene biosynthesis and signaling pathways and to analyze the expression of some of these genes during the fruit ripening process of a late (Acauã) and an early (Catucaí 785-15) coffee cultivars. The selected sequences obtained from the searches performed in the CAFEST database had their phylogeny assessed by phylogenetic trees and their in silico expression profiles were analysed by electronic Northerns. Coffee fruits were harvested in the periods from March to June of 2008 and 2009 with an interval of approximately 30 days between each harvest and the gene expression analyses were carried out by qRT-PCR. The CAFEST database showed a high number of sequences related to the genes of the ethylene biosynthesis and signaling pathways allowing the identification of putative members from almost every step of them. The phylogenetic trees demonstrated a high similarity between the sequences found in the CAFEST and those form other species, and the electronic Northerns detected their expression in different tissues, development stages and stress conditions. The expression analyses of the genes encoding a putative ACO (CaACO3) and a putative ethylene receptor (CaETR4) showed that these genes are differentially expressed through the ripening process, with higher expression levels found at the times in which a major percentage of fruits in the light-red and cherry colors were present for both cultivars. The putative ERF transcription factor (CaERF4) seems to show an increased expression level throughout the experiment and were not differentially expressed during the fruit ripening period of both studied cultivars.
O café é a segunda mercadoria mais comercializada no mundo se colocando como uma importante fonte de renda e de empregos em vários países, principalmente nos países em desenvolvimento, como o Brasil, o maior produtor e segundo maior consumidor mundial de café. A qualidade do café, dentre outros fatores, está diretamente associada ao estádio de maturação dos frutos na época da colheita, o qual frequentemente apresenta uma grande desuniformidade devido ao florescimento sequencial do cafeeiro.

▼ In this master thesis, an approach to discovering architectural patterns within static modular architectures based on software dependencies is developed and investigated. Architectural patterns represent reusable design of software architecture at a high level of abstraction. They can be used to structure new applications and to recover the modular structure of existing systems. Techniques like Architecture Compliance Checking (
ACC) focus on testing whether the realised artefacts adhere to the architecture. Typically, these techniques require a complete architecture as input.
In this thesis, we focus on defining architectural patterns in such a way that we can use
ACC tools to recognise architectural pattern instances and on algorithms by which to discover them, for the purposes of Software Architecture Reconstruction (SAR). The central problem is that it is difficult to distinguish a it{possible} instance of an architectural pattern from a it{genuine} instance. Addressing this requires us to explicitly define architectural patterns in terms of allowed and disallowed software dependencies. We base ourselves on Semantically Rich Modular Architectures (SRMAs). Defining architectural patterns this way allows us to reason about them. For example, about how patterns should be interpreted as incomplete architectures and how different interpretations affect the pattern recognition process. Recognising architectural patterns using
ACC techniques thus has great potential in architecture design,
ACC and SAR.
Our way of finding potential patterns, what we call pattern candidates, is a two step process. The modular decomposition step establishes the modules of which a selection is used in the second step. There, we go through possible mappings of the found modules (referred to as it{software units}) to the modules of architectural patterns (called it{pattern modules}). The
ACC tool we employ to do this is HUSACCT.
We have devised two main approaches to finding pattern candidates. There is the more cumbersome brute force approach and the more elegant genetic approach. Both algorithms require further development before they can be used in practice, but we manage to show that this is a promising line of research which may already result in several publications. Some preliminary evaluations provide a handful of lessons to be applied in any future work, which we envision as GEAR: Guided Evolutionary Architecture-Reconstruction. This vision is also described within the thesis, by means of providing a rudimentary illustration of a practical tool based on our work.
This master thesis is primarily about providing several proofs of concept, it is not intended as a specification for future realisations or as a formal analysis of the algorithms provided within. It also raises certain questions and discussion points, such as the nature of architectural patterns as open architectures within larger systems.

▼ The Antarctic Circumpolar Current (
ACC) is well known for its multiple bands with large meridional property gradients in the upper waters, each associated with a deep-reaching current core. A revised nineteen-year time series (1992?2011) of altimeter data from the CNES/CLS AVISO is analyzed to identify and trace the spatial distribution of
ACC fronts. Specific contours of sea surface height (SSH) are selected within narrow continuous bands of relative maxima SSH slope in the Southwest Atlantic Ocean sector, where they closely follow the distribution of
ACC fronts derived from inspection of concurrent high-resolution profile data at hydrographic stations. When applied to the full circumpolar belt, the frontal distribution derived from these new altimeter-based indicators also agrees well with the traces of current jets and in-situ dynamic height fields calculated from concurrent Argo profile data.
The temporal variability of
ACC fronts is analyzed in relation to dominant modes of atmospheric forcing variability in the Southern Ocean. All three
ACC fronts have experienced large seasonal to decadal variability throughout the satellite altimetry era. The general seasonal tendency for each of these jets, with respect to long-term mean positions, is to be located farther to the south during the austral summer and to north in the winter. Circumpolar-mean annual frontal locations show a consistent linear trend of southward migration. However, the estimated decadal variability of the frontal distributions is highly localized, and due to selective response mechanisms to atmospheric variability. A persistent poleward drift of
ACC fronts is observed in the Indian sector consistent with increasing sea surface temperature trends. In contrast, a vacillation in the meridional location of
ACC fronts is observed in the Pacific sector in association to minor sea surface cooling trends. Therefore, unlike in the Indian sector, the regional Pacific Ocean response is significantly sensitive to dominant atmospheric forcing indices.
Mesoscale eddies derived from instabilities at strong current cores are successfully identified with specific SSH gradient criteria. The new estimates of rings population in the Southern Ocean are tightly linked to interannual to decadal atmospheric variability. Increased number of mesoscale eddies correlate with positive SAM forcing about two years earlier, or negative ENSO forcing two to three months earlier. These cross-correlations might explain a prominent peak in rings abundance estimated during 2000 and 2001, and the short-lived maximum that appeared in 2010.
There are no persistent trends in the estimated sea surface slope across Drake Passage, and therefore neither in the transport of the
ACC. High cross-correlation between the abundance of mesoscale eddies and atmospheric forcing suggests that the overall
ACC system is in an eddy-saturated state. However, Drake Passage positive sea level slope anomalies were two-year lagged with negative SAM forcing and with positive ENSO events. These regional…

▼ With an ever increasing electrical power demand, the
importance of plant simulations remains important for both
personnel training and system design. Individual components may be
modeled alone to analyze performance of a specific subsystem. One
such subsystem of interest is an Air Cooled Condenser (
ACC), as it
provides an ideal cooling solution to those power plants subjected
to strict water usage requirements as well as those lacking a
sufficient nearby water source. An
ACC was modeled for simulation
in MATLAB/Simulink. The goal of the simulation was to successfully
implement a triple cascade control that could maintain the
condensate outlet temperature at a designated value. The physical
portion of the model consists of three node types: steam/water
nodes, metal nodes (pipe wall), and air nodes. The control portion
of the model employs a triple cascade control with the use of PID
control blocks. There were three variables used to control the
temperature; steam extraction percentage, fan speed percentage, and
air recirculation percentage. The simulation was then tested under
various transient conditions. At present time the physical model is
performing exceptionally and the controls sufficiently maintain the
desired values under certain conditions, however transient
responses require additional tuning. Limitations of the model are
addressed and areas for future work are suggested.

▼ Ethylene, a plant hormone, plays an essential role in many aspects about plant development, growth, ripening, and senescence. In addition, it also regulates several responses when plants suffer stress from drought, flood, herbivore bites, wound, etc.
ACC synthase and
ACC oxidase belong to two multigene families. In this study, PCR (polymerase chain reaction) and RACE (rapid amplification of cDNA ends) methods were used to amplify the
ACC oxidase sequences in Cattleya bicolor orchid flower. The results show that there exists differences in the 3â-UTR (untranslated region) of orchid gene sequences. Compare the
ACC oxidase sequences, including the cDNA ORF (open reading frame) sequences and the amino acid sequences, of several different species, the sequence similarity among the three Laeliinae orchids, namely C.bicolor, C. intermedia, and Laelia anceps, is the highest. The similarity of cDNA ORF sequences and amino acid sequences between orchids and the other plants, such as rice, apple and torenia, is comparatively lower. It was proposed that the protein located in cytoplasma (or in mitochondrial matrix space), agrees with the result from analysis of amino acid hydrophilicity prediction.
The ultimate goal of this study is to postpone the flower senescence by the way of plant transfection. In the present findings, it only deals with the cloning and analysis of the
ACC oxidase genes in C. bicolor.

▼ Several negative deflections have been found with EEG on frontocentral electrodes. Source localization and fMRI study have pointed all of these negativities in the vicinity of the anterior cingulate cortex (
ACC). The function of the
ACC has been a
subject to studies for over several decades and the large similarities between the negative deflections suggest that they may be caused by one single process. Three major theories are discussed in relation with these negative deflections; the conflict monitoring theory, reinforcement learning theory and the error-likelihood model. All seem to lack the ability to reconcile all negative deflections with the model. An addition of the reinforcement learning theory was able to do that. In this model the
ACC is selecting an appropiate action depending on stimulus-response and response-reward mappings. A reinforcement signal is adjusting these mappings, when an outcome is different from the expected outcome.

▼ The scientific community is undergoing a paradigm shift with the realization that the formation of carbonate minerals with diverse compositions and textures can be understood within the framework of multiple pathways to mineralization. A variety of common minerals can form via an amorphous pathway, where molecules or clusters aggregate to form a metastable amorphous phase that later transforms to one or more crystalline polymorphs. Amorphous calcium carbonate (
ACC) is now recognized in a wide variety of natural environments. Recent studies indicate the chemical signatures and properties of the carbonate polymorphs that transform from an
ACC pathway may obey a different set of dependencies than those established for the "classical" step-growth process. The Mg content of
ACC and calcite is of particular interest as a minor element that is frequently found in
ACC and the final crystalline products of calcified skeletons or sediments at significant concentrations. Previous studies of
ACC have provided important insights into
ACC properties, but a quantitative understanding of the controls on
ACC composition and the effect of mineralization pathway on Mg signatures in calcite has not been established.
This study utilized a new mixed-flow reactor (MFR) procedure to synthesize
ACC from well-characterized solutions that maintain a constant supersaturation. The experimental design controlled the input solution Mg/Ca ratio, total carbonate concentration, and pH to produce
ACC with systematic chemical compositions. Results show that
ACC composition is regulated by the interplay of three factors at steady state conditions: 1) Mg/Ca ratio, 2) total carbonate concentration, and 3) solution pH. Findings from transformation experiments show a systematic and predictable chemical framework for understanding polymorph selection during
ACC transformation. Furthermore, results suggest a chemical basis for a broad range of Mg contents in calcite, including high Mg calcite. We find that the final calcite produced from
ACC is similar to the composition of the initial
ACC phase, suggesting that calcite composition reflects local conditions of formation, regardless of the pathway to mineralization. The findings from this study provide a chemical road map to future studies on
ACC composition,
ACC transformation, polymorph selection, and impurities in calcite.

▼ Doktrin för luftoperationer fastställdes som styrande dokument för alla luftoperationer 2005. Har då doktrinen blivit det styrande dokument i Flygvapnet som den är tänkt att vara? I denna uppsats avser jag undersöka till vilken grad Doktrin för luftoperationer är implementerad i flygvapnets ledning och om doktrinen används som styrande dokument i utformningen av ordrar, direktiv och TOEM. Jag har genom en kvalitativ textanalys granskat två centrala dokument ur olika perspektiv, för att utröna till vilken grad doktrinen används som styrande dokument. Jag har även intervjuat utvalda delar i flygvapnets ledning för att få ledningens uppfattningar av graden av implementering. Jag har i uppsatsen använt mig av en tregradig skala: Inte alls, Till del samt Fullständigt implementerad. Genom dessa analyser har jag kunnat dra slutsatsen att Doktrin för luftoperationer endast till del är implementerad i flygvapnets ledning.
The Swedish doctrine for air operations was released and became effective in 2005. The doctrine was supposed to be a ruling document but is that the fact? The aim of this study is to investigate at what level the doctrine has been implemented in the leadership of the Swedish Air Force and if the doctrine is in use as a ruling document when writing orders, directive and tactical, organisational, economical objectives (TOEM) for the sub-units. The scientific method of this investigation is a qualitative text analysis where I analysed two vital documents in order to measure the level of implementation. For that purpose I have used a three grade scale: not implemented, partly and finally fully implemented. The conclusion I draw after examining the subject is that the Swedish doctrine for air operations is only partly implemented in the Air Force.

▼ The aim of this thesis is to overview studies examining the effect ethnicity has on the neural and physiological responses associated with empathy and the underlying mechanisms behind this effect. It has been revealed that ethnicity can modulate the empathic responses in that faster physiological arousal and greater sensorimotor resonance occurs during the perception of own ethnic members in suffering. A reduction and even total absence of activity in empathy-associated brain regions such as anterior cingulate cortex, anterior insula, temporo partial junction and medial prefrontal cortex has further been seen during the perception of other ethnic members in pain. There have however been studies where ethnicity has not had an effect on empathic responses, indicating that it might not be ethnicity per se but instead other underlying mechanisms that causes the difference in empathic responses. There is an ongoing debate on which these mechanisms might be. It has been suggested that it might be attitudes, similarity and familiarity with the target, general ingroup bias, differences in perceptual processes and culture. The thesis will end with a discussion on how the results can be interpreted, the implications of the results, proposals for future research directions and a conclusion.

▼ The Traffic Situation Estimator is a method that analyses vehicle behaviour by monitoring and counting the surrounding traffic. This is done with image analysis that keepstrack of several vehicles through consecutive frames under good lightning conditionson a straight one way road. The behaviour of the detected vehicles is then analysedin a state machine driven counter to estimate the traffic rhythm and determine if thedetected vehicles are approaching, getting away, have been overtaken or have overtakenthe ego-vehicle. Depending on the result the Traffic Situation Estimator suggest different reactions helping the driver to follow the traffic rhythm which will improve safetyand the energy efficiency. If the user is not following the traffic rhythm the applicationwill give advice to the user how to adapt to the traffic rhythm by driving faster, sloweror optionally suggest to overtake vehicles ahead.

▼ Learning from experience is critical for adaptive decision-making. When the world is unpredictable, the learning process itself must be adaptive. Outcomes that are attributed to a fundamental change in the environment should have a large impact on behavioral adjustment, whereas outcomes that are attributed to noisy, but expected, fluctuations in an otherwise stable environment should be largely ignored. There is growing interest in understanding the neural mechanisms of adaptive learning. However, studies to date have primarily used functional magnetic resonance imaging, which has limited temporal and spatial resolution. Relatively little is therefore known about how the brain implements adaptive learning at the level of individual neurons. Here, I advance the thesis that two reciprocally connected regions of the cingulate cortex—the anterior and the posterior cingulate cortex—contribute to adaptive learning by encoding environmental context and by encoding outcomes in a context-dependent manner. I support this thesis with recordings from individual neurons in the ACC and the PCC in monkeys performing an adaptive learning task.

▼ Les progrès dans les domaines des véhicules autonomes, l'hybridation du groupe motopropulseur et les systèmes de transport intelligents (STI) signifient que l'automobile en tant que machine est sur le point d'être réinventée. Les trois domaines technologiques sus-cités ont ouvert des portes sur des avancées possibles au niveau de l'amélioration de la sécurité routière et de l'efficacité énergétique des véhicules qui étaient auparavant limitées en raison de plusieurs facteurs, comme les capacités de détection et de puissance de calcul. Dans ce contexte, un contrôleur de la dynamique longitudinale du véhicule électrique est mis au point et étudié de façon à réaliser un compromis entre sécurité et efficacité du véhicule. Ce système est appelé Smart And Green Adaptive Cruise Control (SAGA).Le développement de cette fonction est basée sur l'optimisation de l'énergie ainsi que sur des stratégies de régénération d'énergie en respectant les contraintes des composants du groupe motopropulseur comme la charge de la batterie, la capacité de freinage du moteur et de la situation courante dans le trafic routier. Dans ce processus, des techniques d'optimisation comme la programmation dynamique et la stratégie de minimisation de la consommation d'énergie équivalente (ECMS) sont utilisés. Utilisant des modèles d'énergie du véhicule et des modèles cinématiques intégrés sur Matlab-Simulink, ce travail de thèse évalue les avantages et les limites de l'utilisation de la fonction SAGA pour diverses topologies de véhicules pour différents scénarios de trafic.
The progress in the fields of autonomously driven vehicles, powertrain hybridization and Intelligent transportation systems (ITS) means that the automobile as a machine, is on the verge of reinvention. The aforementioned three fields of technologies have opened doors to advanced opportunities in improvement of safety and efficiency of vehicles which were earlier limited due to several factors like sensing capacities and computational power.In this context, a vehicle longitudinal motion controller is developed and investigated which will actively balance vehicle safety and efficiency. It is named as the Smart and Green Adaptive Cruise Control System (SAGA). Development of this function is based on optimization of energy supply as well as energy regeneration strategies with respect to powertrain component constraints like battery charge acceptance, motor braking capacity and traffic situation. In this process, optimization techniques like Dynamic programming and Equivalent Consumption Minimization Strategy (ECMS)are used. Using vehicle energy and kinematic models built in Matlab-Simulink platform, this dissertation evaluates the advantages and limitations of using SAGA function for various vehicles topologies and in different traffic scenarios.

▼ Elevation of the fish oil metabolite 3-carboxy-4-methyl-5-propyl-2-furanpropanoic acid (CMPF) induces metabolic remodeling within the -cell to a preferential use of fatty acids. Although detrimental to -cell function, this energetic switch could benefit metabolic tissues like the liver, where obesity increases hepatic fat accumulation. CMPF primarily utilizes the Organic Anion Transporter (OAT) family, with OAT2 expressed in the liver. Following treatment, CMPF enters the hepatocyte. To determine a direct effect on liver function, isolated murine hepatocytes were treated for 24-hours with CMPF. CMPF significantly increased hepatic fatty acid oxidation and lipogenesis, without altering fatty acid uptake or gluconeogenesis. CMPF improved hepatic insulin signaling following lipid overload and enhanced FGF21 expression. Enhanced lipid oxidation occurred without ACC/AMPK phosphorylation, CMPF impaired enzymatic activity of isolated ACC, and direct ACC inhibition similarly increased FGF21 expression, suggesting an ACC inhibitor like effect of CMPF. These results demonstrate a potential therapeutic target to prevent hepatic steatosis.

▼ The anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) can influence emotional and motivational states in primates by its dense connections with many neocortical and subcortical regions. Pyramidal neurons serve as the basic building blocks of these neocortical circuits, which have been extensively studied in other brain regions, but their morphological and electrophysiological properties in the primate ACC are not well understood. In this study, we used whole-cell patch clamp and high-resolution laser scanning confocal microscopy to reveal the general electrophysiological properties and detailed morphological features of layer 2 and 3 pyramidal neurons in ACC (area 24/32) of the rhesus monkey. Neurons from both layers had similar passive membrane properties and action potential properties. Morphologically, dendrites of layer 3 ACC neurons were more complex than those of layer 2 neurons, by having dendrites with longer total dendritic lengths, more branch points and dendritic segments, spanning larger convex hull volumes. This difference in total dendritic morphology was mainly due to the apical dendrites. In contrast, the basal dendrites displayed mostly similar features between the two groups of neurons. However, while apical dendrites extend to the same layer (layer 1), the basal dendrites of layer 3 extended into deeper layers than layer 2 because of the difference in soma-pia distance. Thus, basal dendrites of the two groups of neurons receive different laminar inputs. Analysis of spines showed that more spines were found in neurons of layer 3 apical dendritic arbors than layer 2 neurons. However, the apical spine densities were similar between neurons in the two layers. Thus, while higher spine number suggests that layer 3 neurons receive more excitatory input than layer 2 neurons, the similar spine density suggests similar spatial and temporal summation of these inputs. The combined effects of increased number of excitatory input and higher dendritic complexity in layer 3 than in layer 2 ACC neurons suggest the additional information received by layer 3 neurons, especially in the apical dendrites, might undergo more complex integration.

▼ Plant-wide communication between tissues and cells is organized, in part, by a suite of compounds called hormones. I have chosen to focus on the effects of one plant hormone, ethylene; how its synthesis is controlled and how its perception is mediated to differentially control cell development and response to pathogens.
In the production of ethylene, one level of control is by modulating the levels of the immediate precursor to ethylene, 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). I characterize here a plant encoded gene homologous to bacterial ACC Deaminases, AtACD1, and show through up- and down-regulation of the gene that it can modulate the plants sensitivity to exogenous ACC. Once ethylene is produced, it is sensed in Arabidopsis thaliana by a family of 5 receptors. I show that ETR2 in Arabidopsis is responsible for modulation of the microtubule cytoskeleton assembly as loss-of –function mutations to this gene cause randomized microtubule assembly in trichomes and increase sensitivity to microtubule depolymerising drugs in root hairs. In studies of plant:pathogen interactions, ethylene is a central signaling agent required for plant resistance. While it has been shown that etr1 mutants show increased susceptibility to fungal pathogens, exogenous ethylene has also been shown to speed the progress of pathogenesis. Using Fumonisin B1 (FB1) to induce cell death I show that etr1-1 has accelerated cell death while ein4-1 has a reduced rate of necrosis. Further to this, mutations to the other three ethylene receptors do not have any effect on the rate of cell death.
My interest in cell development led to the characterization of an activation tagged Populus tremula x P. alba line with increased trichome initiation. The gene responsible for these phenotypes was identified as PtMYB186, which also affected growth rate, transpiration rate, photosynthetic capacity, and resistance to the Tussock moth larvae.
Together these studies provide a new framework for our understanding of how the ethylene signal is modulated in plants and the controls behind cellular development. This knowledge will help reconcile studies which show that ethylene has different effects on plant development and provide new avenues of research into trichome development.

▼ Serial stay-or-search decisions, in which one must choose to stick with a current resource or to search for a new, potentially better one, are ubiquitous across many domains. These decisions have been studied extensively in patch-foraging paradigms, in which animals, including humans, decide to stick with a depleting reward within a ”patch,” or to leave the current ”patch” to search for a new one yielding greater rewards, but that comes at the cost of time and effort spent traveling to the new ”patch.” A variety of animals, ranging from invertebrates to birds to mammals, generally follow predictions of the optimal foraging theory, particularly the Marginal Value Theorem (MVT; Charnov, 1976), but animals have the tendency to overharvest, or stick with the depleting reward longer than is predicted by MVT. Common biases in intertemporal choice, such as decreasing marginal utility for larger rewards or discounting of future reward, have been hypothesized as the cause of overharvesting, but there have been few direct tests of whether these biases influence foraging behavior. From a neural perspective, multiple brain regions that contribute to stay-or-search decisions have been identified, including the anterior cingulate cortex (
ACC), which is hypothesized to monitor the difficulty in deciding to stay vs. search, and the locus coeruleus (LC), which is hypothesized to regulate the decision process. This thesis extends knowledge of the behavioral and neural mechanisms of stay-or-search decisions. In Chapter 2, I describe a novel, operant chamber based patch foraging for rats. Similar to other animals, rats follow qualitative predictions of MVT: they stay longer in patches that yield greater rewards, and longer in all patches when the cost of traveling to a new patch is greater, but overharvest, staying patches longer than is predicted by MVT. In Chapter 3, I thoroughly characterized rat foraging behavior across a series of experiments: these revealed that in the context of foraging, rats exhibit time preferences similar to delay discounting paradigms, and that suboptimal decision making in foraging and delay discounting tasks is best explained by hyperbolic discounting. In Chapter 4, I begin to examine the neural mechanism of foraging decisions, investigating the role of the LC. Stimulation of LC-NE neurons impaired rats ability to focus on salient information in the task and impaired their ability to perform the task in general. In Chapter 5, I examine the function of the anterior cingulate. Rat
ACC neurons increased in activity as rewards in a patch depleted and animals were more likely to leave patches. However, manipulation of
ACC activity revealed that
ACC was neither necessary for adaptive foraging decisions nor sufficient to drive decisions to leave patches. Altogether, these studies contribute to our knowledge of how animals make foraging decisions from a behavioral and neural perspective.

▼ In the first part of this dissertation, the first asymmetric anti selective aldol addition of a ketone-derived donor that is independent of the structure of the ketone is described. This transformation is facilitated by the use of chiral N-amino cyclic carbamate (
ACC) auxiliaries. Under certain conditions, this transformation not only exhibits near perfect anti selectivity and enantioselectivity but also does so via thermodynamic control. Simple manipulation of the reaction conditions allows for the O-benzylation of the prepared aldol products and the subsequent removal of the
ACC auxiliary to give the β-benzyloxy ketone. Both symmetric and asymmetric ketones can be utilized, and aldol products that would otherwise be difficult if not impossible to prepare via conventional methods are able to be prepared. The second part of this dissertation describes the asymmetric total synthesis of (+)- and (-)-mefloquine hydrochloride, a potent antimalarial compound. The synthesis is based on an
ACC-mediated asymmetric Darzens reaction between an α-chloro ketone and a quinoline-based aldehyde. This novel methodology gives a highly enantioenriched epoxide that can be further functionalized to prepare both enantiomers of the antimalarial drug.
