Permanent Draft Genome Of ‘Rhodopirellula Islandica’ Strain K833, J Kizina, M Žure, E Rhiel, Et Al
Permanent Draft Genome Of ‘Rhodopirellula Islandica’ Strain K833, J Kizina, M Žure, E Rhiel, Et Al
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The planctomycete strain K833 was isolated from cold waters at the coast of Island and is tentatively named 'Rhodopirellula islandica'. It has a lower temperature range for growth than other genome-sequenced Rhodopirellula strains affiliating to Rhodopirellula baltica and 'Rhodopirellula europaea'. The permanent draft genome of strain K833 was obtained as part of a larger study on the biogeography of Rhodopirellula species in European marine waters. The genome consists of 55 contigs with a genome size of 7,433,200 bp. With an average nucleotide identity of 81% to related genomes of R. baltica and 'R. europaea' and more than 4000 common genes, …

Generalisation, Decision Making, And Embodiment Effects In Mental Rotation: A Neurorobotic Architecture Tested With A Humanoid Robot, K Seepanomwan, D Caligiore, A Cangelosi, G Baldassarre
School of Engineering, Computing and Mathematics
Mental rotation, a classic experimental paradigm of cognitive psychology, tests the capacity of humans to mentally rotate a seen object to decide if it matches a target object. In recent years, mental rotation has been investigated with brain imaging techniques to identify the brain areas involved. Mental rotation has also been investigated through the development of neural-network models, used to identify the specific mechanisms that underlie its process, and with neurorobotics models to investigate its embodied nature. Current models, however, have limited capacities to relate to neuro-scientific evidence, to generalise mental rotation to new objects, to suitably represent decision making …

Previous studies have evaluated gene expression in Alzheimer’s disease (AD) brains to identify mechanistic processes, but have been limited by the size of the datasets studied. Here we have implemented a novel meta-analysis approach to identify differentially expressed genes (DEGs) in published datasets comprising 450 late onset AD (LOAD) brains and 212 controls. We found 3124 DEGs, many of which were highly correlated with Braak stage and cerebral atrophy. Pathway Analysis revealed the most perturbed pathways to be (a) nitric oxide and reactive oxygen species in macrophages (NOROS), (b) NFkB and (c) mitochondrial dysfunction. NOROS was also up-regulated and mitochondrial …
Speculative Somatics, Ds Maranan
Speculative Somatics, Ds Maranan
School of Art, Design and Architecture
Based on a presentation at The Undivided Mind conference at Plymouth University, this article sketches out speculative applications of somatics, the first person, phenomenological study of sensation, perception and movement. I first introduce the subject of somatics through an experiential exercise for the reader before summarizing theoretical aspects of somatic study. Drawing from the literature in embodied cognition and from personal recollections of embodied experiences, I propose how somatic approaches could potentially be used in working with immigrant communities, living in outer space, and empathizing with non-human animals.

Igf-1r Inhibition Induces Schedule-Dependent Sensitization Of Human Melanoma To Temozolomide, R Ramcharan, T Aleksic, Wp Kamdoum, S Gao, Et Al
Igf-1r Inhibition Induces Schedule-Dependent Sensitization Of Human Melanoma To Temozolomide, R Ramcharan, T Aleksic, Wp Kamdoum, S Gao, Et Al
School of Biomedical Sciences
Prior studies implicate type 1 IGF receptor (IGF-1R) in mediating chemo-resistance. Here, we investigated whether IGF-1R influences response to temozolomide (TMZ), which generates DNA adducts that are removed by O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), or persist causing replication-associated double-strand breaks (DSBs). Initial assessment in 10 melanoma cell lines revealed that TMZ resistance correlated with MGMT expression (r = 0.79, p = 0.009), and in MGMT-proficient cell lines, with phospho-IGF-1R (r = 0.81, p = 0.038), suggesting that TMZ resistance associates with IGF-1R activation. Next, effects of IGF-1R inhibitors (IGF-1Ri) AZ3801 and linsitinib (OSI-906) were tested on TMZ-sensitivity, cell cycle progression and DSB …

Systemic conceptualisations suggest that family processes which involve blaming and holding the child accountable for their behaviour play an important role in the maintenance of disruptive behaviour problems. Discourse analytic work in family therapy settings has shown that accountability for the family’s reported problems is a key concern for family members. This study used a conversation analytic (CA) approach to examine family members’ accounts of child disruptive behaviour. The two participating families were both engaged in family therapy for disruptive behaviour problems. Each family participated in a family interview which was recorded and transcribed according to CA principles. The analysis …

Humans are able to adapt their motor commands in order to make accurate movements in novel sensorimotor environments, such as when wielding tools that alter limb dynamics. However, it is unclear to what extent sensorimotor representations obtained through experience with one limb are available to the opposite, untrained limb, and in which form they are available. Here we compared cross-limb transfer of force-field compensation after participants adapted to a velocity-dependent curl field oriented either in the sagittal or the transverse plane. Due to the mirror symmetry of the limbs, the force field had identical effects for both limbs in joint …

Antioxidative Capacity And Electrolyte Leakage In Healthy Versus Phytoplasma Infected Tissues Of Euphorbia Coerulescens And Orbea Gigantean, Yh Dewir, Mahrouk Me El, Hz Rihan, Ca Sáez, Mp Fuller
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
The present study reports on reactive oxygen species (ROS), antioxidant enzyme activities, electrolyte leakage and levels of abscisic acid (ABA) in healthy and phytoplasma infected (PI) tissues of Euphorbia coerulescens and Orbea gigantea. Histochemical staining for ROS indicated that PI tissues possess higher levels of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) rather than superoxide (O2 ·-) as compared with healthy tissues in both plant species. The results indicated that superoxide dismutase (SOD) is not playing an important role in eliminating O2− in PI tissues. This was confirmed by a significantly decreased activity of SOD and a non-significant difference in O2 ·- content in …

Communicative interactions involve a kind of procedural knowledge that is used by the human brain for processing verbal and nonverbal inputs and for language production. Although considerable work has been done on modeling human language abilities, it has been difficult to bring them together to a comprehensive tabula rasa system compatible with current knowledge of how verbal information is processed in the brain. This work presents a cognitive system, entirely based on a large-scale neural architecture, which was developed to shed light on the procedural knowledge involved in language elaboration. The main component of this system is the central executive, …

The Impact Of Co2 Emissions On 'Nuisance' Marine Species, Jm Hall-Spencer, R Allen
The Impact Of Co2 Emissions On 'Nuisance' Marine Species, Jm Hall-Spencer, R Allen
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are being taken up from the atmosphere by the oceans, increasing the availability of dissolved inorganic carbon but reducing both the carbonate saturation and pH of seawater. This ocean acidification affects biological processes in a wide range of marine taxa. Here, we assess the likely responses of 'nuisance' species to ocean acidification, meaning those organisms that have undesirable effects from a human perspective. Based on a synthesis of evidence available to date, we predict increased growth and toxicity in harmful algal bloom species, and a significant increase in invasive algae in response to increased CO2 availability. Blooms …

Abstract While Amazonian forests are extraordinarily diverse, the abundance of trees is skewed strongly towards relatively few ‘hyperdominant’ species. In addition to their diversity, Amazonian trees are a key component of the global carbon cycle, assimilating and storing more carbon than any other ecosystem on Earth. Here we ask, using a unique data set of 530 forest plots, if the functions of storing and producing woody carbon are concentrated in a small number of tree species, whether the most abundant species also dominate carbon cycling, and whether dominant species are characterized by specific functional traits. We find that dominance of …

Stereotypic Mice Are Aggressed By Their Cage-Mates, And Tend To Be Poor Demonstrators In Social Learning Tasks, L Harper, E Choleris, K Ervin, C Fureix, Et Al
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Stereotypic behaviours (SBs) are linked with behavioural inflexibility and resemble symptoms of autism, suggesting that stereotypic animals could have autistic-like social impairments. SBs are also common in caged mice. We therefore hypothesised relationships between stereotypic and social behaviours, predicting that highly stereotypic mice would give/receive more agonism and be less effective in social learning tasks. Experiment One used C57BL/6 and DBA/2 mice in non-enriched or enriched housing (15 cages each); Experiment Two, more cages (six non-enriched, 44 enriched) plus a third strain (BALB/c). Across both experiments, enrichment reduced SB and agonism (aggression, plus ‘displacements’ where one mouse supplants another at …

Cognitive Innovation And The Cognitive Turn, M Punt
School of Art, Design and Architecture
For nearly half a century Leonardo has surveyed, reflected and shaped the intellectual project of ISAST. As part of this mission it has, in the best possible sense, been alert to ‘the next big thing’; what in the sciences is called a ‘breakthrough’, a ‘movement’ in the arts, and in technology an ‘opportunity’. In recent years in the humanities the ‘next big thing’ has been relentlessly labelled as a ‘turn’ to the extent that the term itself now resonates with self-irony. Nonetheless by tracking the bibliographies of various ‘breakthroughs’, ‘movements’, ‘opportunities’ and ‘turns’, it is possible to see the recurring …

In a previous study, we found a dose-dependent synergistic effect in recombinant yeast stably transfected with the human androgen receptor (AR), in response to co-exposure to testosterone and a commercially-available lubricant (engine) oil for cars. As there is relatively little knowledge on synergistic toxic effects and causative compounds, particularly for the androgenic system, the objective of the present study was to investigate this oil in more detail. The oil was fractionated into SARA fractions (so-called 'saturates', 'aromatics', 'resins', and 'asphaltenes') by open column chromatography. Surprisingly, when exposing the recombinant AR yeast to testosterone in combination with the separate SARA fractions, …

Somaesthetics is an approach advanced by Richard Shusterman (2000, 2006, 2008) in which bodily experience plays the central role in aesthetic appreciation, production, and analysis. Somaesthetics draws from a variety of epistemological approaches, including the philosophies of twentieth-century thinkers such as as Merleau-Ponty (1962), de Beauvoir (1997), Foucault (1986), and Wittgenstein; pragmatist philosophies of William James and John Dewey; and theoretical and practice-based contributions of somatic practitioners such as Moshe Feldenkrais and Frederick Alexander. It is an ameliorative approach that encourages heightened awareness of the body leading to an improved “use of the self” (Shusterman, 2008, p. 8). As a …

Cosmetic products, such as facial scrubs, have been identified as potentially important primary sources of microplastics to the marine environment. This study characterises, quantifies and then investigates the sorptive properties of plastic microbeads that are used as exfoliants in cosmetics. Polyethylene microbeads were extracted from several products, and shown to have a wide size range (mean diameters between 164 and 327μm). We estimated that between 4594 and 94,500 microbeads could be released in a single use. To examine the potential for microbeads to accumulate and transport chemicals they were exposed to a binary mixture of 3H-phenanthrene and 14C-DDT …

Digital action cameras (ACs) are increasingly being utilized for aquatic research purposes due to their cost effectiveness, versatility, high-resolution imagery, and durability. Here we review the advantages of AC technology in research, with particular emphases on (a) research videography (both in the field and the laboratory), (b) animal-borne studies, and (c) outreach and education purposes. We also review some of the limitations of this technology as represented by environmental factors (e.g., depth, turbidity) and deployment considerations (e.g., lens choices, imaging settings, battery life). As AC technologies evolve in response to growing public interest in their application versatility, researchers are indirectly …

Tumour cells can use strategies that make them resistant to nutrient deprivation to outcompete their neighbours. A key integrator of the cell's responses to starvation and other stresses is amino-acid-dependent mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Activation of mTORC1 on late endosomes and lysosomes is facilitated by amino-acid transporters within the solute-linked carrier 36 (SLC36) and SLC38 families. Here, we analyse the functions of SLC36 family member, SLC36A4, otherwise known as proton-assisted amino-acid transporter 4 (PAT4), in colorectal cancer. We show that independent of other major pathological factors, high PAT4 expression is associated with reduced relapse-free survival after colorectal …

What Can Inactivity (In Its Various Forms) Reveal About Affective States In Non-Human Animals? A Review, C Fureix, Rk Meagher
School of Biological and Marine Sciences
Captive/domestic animals are often described as inactive, with the implicit or explicit implication that this high level of inactivity is a welfare problem. Conversely, not being inactive enough may also indicate or cause poor welfare. In humans, too much inactivity can certainly be associated with either negative or positive affective states. In non-human animals, however, the affective states associated with elevated or suppressed levels of inactivity are still not well understood. Part of the complexity is due to the fact that there are many different forms of inactivity, each likely associated with very different affective states. This paper has two …
