Gambling with Liberalization: Smallholder Livelihoods in Contemporary Rural Malawi

This paper examines the livelihoods of smallholder households in Malawi based on information derived from six villages in various parts of the country. Through detailed analysis of own-farm production and off-farm economic activities, the study explores similarities, diversities, and disparities in rural livelihoods. Liberalization policies and the high risk of crop failure have produced large disparities between those who achieve high income from own-farm production and those who do not. Off-farm income can help to reduce the risk of own-farm production, but is also a source of income disparity and provides little opportunity for upward economic mobility to escape poverty.

Parámetros bioquímicos a lo largo de tres microciclos de entrenamiento intenso en triatletas de élite

Algunos investigadores han utilizado la información que suministran determinados parámetros sanguíneos para el control biológico del entrenamiento. Entre estos parámetros los más utilizados como indicadores de sobreentrenamiento son: creatina kinasa (CK), urea (U), cortisol (C), testosterona(T) y relación testosterona/cortisol (T/C). El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la evolución de CK, U, C,T y T/C a lo largo de 3 microciclos (M) de ntrenamiento,comparando los valores tras una sesión de entrenamientointenso con los obtenidos tras una sesión de recuperación. Seis triatletas masculinos de élite participaron en el estudio y fueron seguidos durante un periodo de entrenamiento de 31 semanas. Se estudiaron los microciclos 8, 22 y 31 (M1, M2 y M3, respectivamente). Se realizaron 7 extracciones sanguíneas en los siguientes momentos: una analítica en octubre en el periodo de descanso, y dos analíticas al final de cada M (tras una sesión de entrenamiento y una de recuperación). En cada M se registraron los datos de entrenamiento así como los de percepción de la carga y recuperación. La CK descendió de forma significativa tras una sesión de recuperación después de haber alcanzado valores significativamente superiores a los de referencia (129,5±80,2 U/l) en el M1 (Entrenamiento: 303,2±141,8 U/l vs. Recuperación: 211,3±65,4 U/l; P < 0,05), en el M2 (Entrenamiento: 316,2±134,1 U/l vs. Recuperación: 238,2±149 U/l; P < 0,05) y M3 (Entrenamiento: 383,3±231,0 U/l vs. Recuperación: 209,8±98,2 U/l; P < 0,05). Ni la U ni la T experimentaron variaciones significativas tras una sesión de recuperación, mientras que el C sólo descendió significativamente en M3 (Entrenamiento: 23±2,3 μg/dl vs. Recuperación: 18,9±2,7 μg/dl: P < 0,05). En conclusión, este estudio muestra las variaciones que experimentan varios parámetros sanguíneos a lo largo de tres microciclos de entrenamiento intenso, en los que ninguno de los deportistas experimentó ningún síntoma de sobreentrenamiento.

Vibrational spectroscopy of the borate mineral olshanskyite Ca3[B(OH)4]4(OH)2

The mineral olshanskyite is one of many calcium borate minerals which has never been studied using vibrational spectroscopy. The mineral is unstable and decomposes upon exposure to an electron beam. This makes the elemental analysis using EDX techniques difficult. Both the Raman and infrared spectra show complexity due to the complexity of the structure. Intense Raman bands are found at 989, 1,003, 1,025 and 1,069 cm-1 with a shoulder at 961 cm-1 and are assigned to trigonal borate units. The Raman bands at 1,141, 1,206 and 1,365 cm-1 are assigned to OH in-plane bending of BOH units. A series of Raman bands are observed in the 2,900–3,621cm-1 spectral range and are assigned to the stretching vibrations of OH and water. This complexity is also reflected in the infrared spectra. Vibrational spectroscopy enables aspects of the structure of olshanskyite to be elucidated.

An efficient one-pot synthesis and photoinduced DNA cleavage studies of 2-chloro-3-(5-aryl-4,5-dihydroisoxazol-3-yl)quinolines

4,5-Dihydroisoxazoles continue to attract considerable interest due to their wide spread biological activities. Here, we identify an efficient protocol for the preparation of 4,5-dihydroisoxazoles (2-isaxazolines) (4a-g) from quinolinyl chalcones. The nucleolytic activities of synthesized compounds were investigated by agarose gel electrophoresis. All these compounds were showed the remarkable DNA cleavage activity (concentration dependent) with pUC19 DNA at 365 nm UV light. The DNA cleavage activity was significantly enhanced by the presence of iminyl and carboxy radicals of DIQ. (C) 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

Study of ferric oxide nanoparticles-tris-(2,4-di-t-amylphenoxy)-(8-quinolinolyl) copper phthalocyanine composite LB film

The ferric oxide nanoparticles-tris-(2,4-di-t-amylphenoxy)-(8-quinolinolyl) copper phthalocyanine (CuPcA(2)) composite ultrathin film was obtained by LB (Langmuir-Blodgett) technique. Structure of the composite LB film was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectra, transmission electron microscopy, infrared spectra and visible spectra. Gas sensitivity measurements indicate that the composite LB film is sensitive to 100-200 ppm C2H5OH at room temperature. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Squaric acid/4-aminoquinoline conjugates: novel potent antiplasmodial agents

We report the synthesis and structure–activity relationship (SAR) analysis of a series of hybrid compounds containing a squaric moiety conjugated with heterocyclic moieties from well-known antimalarials. This novel series of compounds presents improved antiplasmodial activity compared with the squaric derivatives described in our previous work. Three compounds, 8b (IC50 = 99 nM), 8c (IC50 = 95 nM), and 8d (IC50 = 105 nM) had greater in vitro potency than chloroquine 1 (IC50 = 140 nM) against chloroquine resistant Plasmodium falciparum. In addition, they were noncytotoxic against NIH 3T3 and Hek 293T cells.

Separation of Ba-137m from Cs-137 using new ion exchanger Na-2(H2O)(4)(H3O)[Al(OH)(6)Mo6O18]

A new polyoxometalate of chemical formula, Na-2(H2O)(4)(H3O)[Al(OH)(6)Mo6O18] (1) containing Anderson type large anion has been synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray structure determination and IR spectroscopic studies. The crystal of 1 is triclinic, spacegroup P-1 with cell dimensions, a = 6.365(9) angstrom, b = 10.37(1) angstrom, c = 10.44(1) angstrom and alpha = 65.41(1), beta = 77.18(1), gamma = 86.58(1) and Z = 1. The compound 1 behaves as an ion exchanger and is stable in thermal, radiation and chemical environments. Radiochemical separation of the short-lived daughter Ba-137m (t(1/2) = 2.50 min) from its long-lived parent Cs-137 using this newly designed and synthesized ion exchanger has been developed.

ϱ → 4π in chirally symmetric models

The decays rho0 → 2π+2π− and rho0 → 2π0π+π− are studied using various effective Lagrangians for π and rho (and in some case a1) mesons, all of which respect the approximate chiral symmetry of the strong interaction. Partial widths of the order of 1 keV or less are found in all cases. These are an order of magnitude smaller than recent predictions based on non-chiral models.

Association of low adiponectin levels with the metabolic syndrome--the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study (CURES-4)

The aim of the study was to assess the relation of adiponectin levels with the metabolic syndrome in Asian Indians, a high-risk group for diabetes and premature coronary artery disease. The study was conducted on 100 (50 men and 50 women) type 2 diabetic subjects and 100 age and sex matched subjects with normal glucose tolerance selected from the Chennai Urban Rural Epidemiology Study, an ongoing population study in Chennai in southern India. Metabolic syndrome was defined using modified Adult Treatment Panel III (ATPIII) guidelines. Adiponectin values were significantly lower in diabetic subjects (men: 5.2 vs 8.3 microg/mL, P=.00l; women: 7.6 vs 11.1 microg/mL, P<.00l) and those with the metabolic syndrome (men: 5.0 vs 6.8 microg/mL, P=.01; women: 6.5 vs 9.9 microg/mL, P=.001) compared with those without. Linear regression analysis revealed adiponectin to be associated with body mass index (P<.05), waist circumference (P<.01), fasting plasma glucose (P=.001), glycated hemoglobin (P<.001), triglycerides (P<.00l), high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol (P<.001), cholesterol/HDL ratio (P<.00l), and insulin resistance measured by homeostasis assessment model (P<.00l). Factor analysis identified 2 factors: factor 1, negatively loaded with adiponectin and HDL cholesterol and positively loaded with triglycerides, waist circumference, and insulin resistance measured by homeostasis assessment model; and factor 2, with a positive loading of waist circumference and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Logistic regression analysis revealed adiponectin to be negatively associated with metabolic syndrome (odds ratio [OR], 0.365; P<.001) even after adjusting for age (OR, 0.344; P<.00l), sex (OR, 0.293; P<.001), and body mass index (OR, 0.292; P<.00l). Lower adiponectin levels are associated with the metabolic syndrome per se and several of its components, particularly, diabetes, insulin resistance, and dyslipidemia in this urban south Indian population.
