Structural study of CUG-repeating small RNAs complexed with silencing suppressor P19

The study is focused on structural aspects of interaction between silencing suppressor p19 and CUG-repeating small RNAs. The work involves crystal structure determination of a protein-unbound RNA form and RNA fragments of various lengths (19, 20, 21 nucleotides) complexed with p19-suppressor. Results prove the ability of silencing suppressor p19 to bind CUG-repeating small RNAs, as well as reveal features of U•U mismatches flanked by Watson-Crick C•G base pairs in p19-bound and p19-unbound states. In addition, structural data reveal a p19 specific site for anchoring extra nucleotides in small RNAs. In general, the study extends our knowledge about the mechanism of small RNA recognition by silencing suppressor p19.

10 Jahre Untersuchungen zur Reproduktionsbiologie des Dorsches im Institut für Ostseefischerei

The reproduction biology of cod is one of the main re-search topics of the Institute of Baltic Sea Fisheries at Rostock. It was defined 10 years ago when the Institute was formed. Since then results have been published in a number of publications. This paper summarizes the main results of the past decade ant outlines necessities for future research in cod reproduction biology in the Baltic Sea.

Growth of skipjack, Katsuwonus pelamis, and yellowfin, Thunnus albacares, tunas in the Eastern Pacific Ocean, as estimated from tagging data

ENGLISH: The average linear growth rate of skipjack in the eastern Pacific is less than 1 mm per day except for fish 375 to 424 mm in length at release. The growth rate shows a decrease with increasing length and increasing time at liberty. The growth rate of fish in the length range of about 43 to 57 cm is apparently more rapid in the eastern Pacific than in the western Pacific. Dsing data for the northeastern and southeastern Pacific combined, K and ~ were estimated to be 0.658 (on an annual basis) and 885 mm, respectively, by the ungrouped method and 0.829 and 846 mm, respectively, by the grouped method. Sensitivity analyses have shown however, that the estimates of these parameters are poorly determined by the sum of squares method used to derive them. Estimates of K and ~ for the eastern Pacific tend to be lower and higher, respectively, than those for the western Pacific. The average linear growth rate of yellowfin in the eastern Pacific is a little less than 1 mm per day for fish between about 25 and 100 cm in length at release. The growth appears to be most rapid in Area 2 (Revillagigedo Islands) and slowest in Areas 1 (Baja California), 5 (Central America- Colombia), and 6 (Ecuador-Peru). There is considerable variation in the growth rates of individual fish. The growth does not show a decrease with increasing length or increasing time at liberty so realistic estimates of the parameters of the von Bertalanffy or other similar equations cannot be calculated from these data. If realistic estimates of these parameters are to be secured larger fish must be tagged and released or many more long-term returns from fish to about 100 cm in length at release must be obtained. The growth patterns for the eastern Pacific, central Pacific and eastern Atlantic found by most other investigators differ from one another and from those found in the present study. Some of these differences may be real and others may be due to deficiencies in the data or the methods of analysis. Estimates obtained from tagging data are believed to be realistic provided the tags do not inhibit the growth of the fish. It appears that the growth rates of single- and double-tagged fish are the same; this indicates, though not unequivocally, that the tags do not inhibit the growth. SPANISH: La tasa media de crecimiento lineal del barrilete en el Pacífico oriental es inferior a lmm/día, excepto en el caso de peces de entre 375y 424mm de longitud de liberación. La tasa de crecimiento disminuye a medida que aumenta la longitud y el tiempo en libertad. La tasa de crecimiento de peces de entre unos 43 y 57 cm de longitud parece ser mayor en el Pacífico oriental que en el occidental. A partir de datos del Pacífico nororiental y suroriental combinados, se estimaron K y loo en 0.658 (anual) y 885mm, respectivamente, usando el método no agrupado, y 0.829 y 846mm, respectivamente, usando el método agrupado. Sin embargo, los análisis de sensitividad han demostrado que el método de suma de cuadrados utilizado para derivar las estimaciones de estos parámetros las determina con poca precisión. Las estimaciones de K y loo para el Pacífico oriental suelen ser inferiores y superiores, respectivamente, a los del Pacífico occidental. La tasa media de crecimiento lineal del aleta amarilla en el Pacífico oriental es ligeramente inferior a lmm/día para los peces de entre unos 25y 100cmde longitud de liberación. El crecimiento parece ser más rápido en el Area 2(Islas Revillagigedo),y más lento en las Areas 1(Baja California), 5 (Centroamérica-Colombia), y 6 (Ecuador-Perú). Las tasas de crecimiento de peces individuales varían considerablemente. El crecimiento no muestra una disminuciónconun aumento en la longitud o en el tiempo en libertad, y por consecuencia no se se pueden calcular estimaciones realistas de los parámetros de la ecuación de von Bertalanffy u otras ecuaciones similares a partir de estos datos. Para obtener estimaciones realistas de estos parámetros sería necesario marcar peces mayores u obtener muchas más devoluciones a largo plazo de marcas de peces de unos 100cm de longitud de liberación. Los patrones de crecimiento correspondientes al Pacífico oriental, Pacífico central, y Atlántico oriental descubiertos por la mayoría de los investigadores son diferentes entre síy también de los del presente estudio. Es posibleque algunas de estas diferencias sean verdaderas, mientras que otras se deban a faltas en los datos on en los métodos analíticos utilizados. Se considera que las estimaciones obtenidas a partir de los datos de marcado son realistas, suponiendo siempre que las marcas no impidan el crecimiento de los peces. Parece ser que las tasas de crecimiento de peces con una marca y con dos son idénticas, lo cual indica, aunque sin certeza total, que las marcas no ejercen tal efecto. (PDF contains 76 pages.)

Enhancement of fish production in Borno State with extension services

Borno State possesses great potentials for fish production both from inland fisheries and aquaculture. The socio-economic and environmental production factors are suitable for fish production. If the potential of the State were well harnessed, it would be playing significant roles in achieving self-sufficiency in fish production in Nigeria. But the situation at the moment is that its fisheries potentials are not being optimally utilized. While the inland waters of Lake Chad are currently being recklessly exploited, aquaculture development is given little or no attention. It is evident that there is a missing link between research results and the potential end users. Because information in fish production variables is a pre-requisite for fisheries development, the gap that exists between two poles must be bridged, fisheries Extension provides this important link between research result and the end users of research findings. The paper examines the importance of extension services as the key to unlock fish production information that are usually consigned to the pages of academic journals and research publications

Laser-driven inertial ion focusing

A Hohlraum-like configuration is proposed for realizing a simple compact source for neutrons. A laser pulse enters a tiny thin-shelled hollow-sphere target through a small opening and is self-consistently trapped in the cavity. The electrons in the inner shell-wall region are expelled by the light pressure. The resulting space-charge field compresses the local ions into a thin layer that becomes strongly heated. An inward expansion of ions into the shell cavity then occurs, resulting in the formation at the cavity center of a hot spot of ions at high density and temperature, similar to that in inertial electrostatic confinement.

Investigation on upconversion luminescence in Er3+/Yb3+ codoped tellurite glasses and fibers

The upconversion properties of Er3+/Yb3+ codoped tellurite glasses and glass fibers with D-shape cladding under 980 mu excitation were investigated. Intense emission bands centered at 531, 546 and 658 nm corresponding to the transitions Er3+: H-2(11/2) -> I-4(15/2) , S-4(3/2) -> I-4(15/2) and F-4(9/2) -> I-4(15/2), respectively, were observed at room temperature. Compared with that in Er3+/Yb3+ codoped tellurite bulk glass, the upconversion luminescence becomes more efficient in the fiber geometry. The dependence of upconversion intensities on fiber geometry and possible upconversion mechanism are discussed and evaluated. The presented Er3+/Yb3+ codoped tellurite fibers with intense upconversion luminescence can be used as potential host materials for upconversion fiber lasers. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Temporal and spatial distribution and abundance of flathead sole (Hippoglossoides elassodon) eggs and larvae in the western Gulf of Alaska

Data from ichthyoplankton surveys conducted in 1972 and from 1977 to 1999 (no data were collected in 1980) by the Alaska Fisheries Science Center (NOAA, NMFS) in the western Gulf of Alaska were used to examine the timing of spawning, geographic distribution and abundance, and the vertical distribution of eggs and larvae of flathead sole (Hippoglossoides elassodon). In the western Gulf of Alaska, flathead sole spawning began in early April and peaked from early to mid-May on the continental shelf. It progressed in a southwesterly direction along the Alaska Peninsula where three main areas of flathead sole spawning were indentified: near the Kenai Peninsula, in Shelikof Strait, and between the Shumagin Islands and Unimak Island. Flathead sole eggs are pelagic, and their depth distribution may be a function of their developmental stage. Data from MOCNESS tows indicated that eggs sink near time of hatching and the larvae rise to the surface to feed. The geographic distribution of larvae followed a pattern similar to the distribution of eggs, only it shifted about one month later. Larval abundance peaked from early to mid-June in the southern portion of Shelikof Strait. Biological and environmental factors may help to retain flathead sole larvae on the continental shelf near their juvenile nursery areas.
