TL;DR: The addition of 411 microsatellite marker loci and 15 pairs of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database are documents.
Abstract: This article documents the addition of 411 microsatellite marker loci and 15 pairs of Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP) sequencing primers to the Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for the following species: Acanthopagrus schlegeli, Anopheles lesteri, Aspergillus clavatus, Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus fumigatus, Aspergillus oryzae, Aspergillus terreus, Branchiostoma japonicum, Branchiostoma belcheri, Colias behrii, Coryphopterus personatus, Cynogolssus semilaevis, Cynoglossus semilaevis, Dendrobium officinale, Dendrobium officinale, Dysoxylum malabaricum, Metrioptera roeselii, Myrmeciza exsul, Ochotona thibetana, Neosartorya fischeri, Nothofagus pumilio, Onychodactylus fischeri, Phoenicopterus roseus, Salvia officinalis L., Scylla paramamosain, Silene latifo, Sula sula, and Vulpes vulpes. These loci were cross-tested on the following species: Aspergillus giganteus, Colias pelidne, Colias interior, Colias meadii, Colias eurytheme, Coryphopterus lipernes, Coryphopterus glaucofrenum, Coryphopterus eidolon, Gnatholepis thompsoni, Elacatinus evelynae, Dendrobium loddigesii Dendrobium devonianum, Dysoxylum binectariferum, Nothofagus antarctica, Nothofagus dombeyii, Nothofagus nervosa, Nothofagus obliqua, Sula nebouxii, and Sula variegata. This article also documents the addition of 39 sequencing primer pairs and 15 allele specific primers or probes for Paralithodes camtschaticus.

TL;DR: Viral accessory protein Nef increased the biosynthesis of lipid rafts and viral particles with newly synthesized cholesterol, but also enriched them, and via the consensus cholesterol recognition motif at its C terminus, Nef bound cholesterol.
Abstract: HIV buds from lipid rafts and requires cholesterol for its egress from and entry into cells. Viral accessory protein Nef plays a major role in this process. In this study, it not only increased the biosynthesis of lipid rafts and viral particles with newly synthesized cholesterol, but also enriched them. Furthermore, via the consensus cholesterol recognition motif at its C terminus, Nef bound cholesterol. When this sequence was mutated, Nef became unable to transport newly synthesized cholesterol into lipid rafts and viral particles. Interestingly, although its levels in lipid rafts were not affected, this mutant Nef protein was poorly incorporated into viral particles, and viral infectivity decreased dramatically. Thus, Nef also transports newly synthesized cholesterol to the site of viral budding. As such, it provides essential building blocks for the formation of viruses that replicate optimally in the host.

TL;DR: F Fouling resistance of modified membranes was significantly improved showing that EtOH addition is a suitable procedure for the membrane performance improvement and the rejection potential of membranes is hardly affected by the nanoparticles and EtOH incorporation into the polymeric solution.
Abstract: This paper reports the fabrication and characterization of polyethersulfone-TiO(2) (PES-TiO(2)) nanoparticle composite membranes made from synthesis casting solution consisting of various compositions of polymer solvents (DMF and EtOH) and TiO(2) additive. The results also revealed that the membrane permeation and rejection rates, pore size, and porosity were dependent on the TiO(2) and EtOH concentrations. Nanoparticles were characterized by zeta potential measurements, TEM observations, and measurement of particle size distributions. Zeta potential measurements in aqueous solution demonstrated that the TiO(2) particles size is dominated by electric double layer interactions. Addition of EtOH promotes the increase of the clusters size as consequence of a double effect: reduction of the dielectric constant of solution and the depletion of the suspension field determined by the action of the polymer chains. The observed effects as result of EtOH addition and increase of TiO(2) concentration were similar: both procedures provoked an increase of macrovoid dimensions. The modified membranes by TiO(2) incorporation showed a structural change from a sponge-like to a finger-like structure. Strong correlations were observed between the hydrophilicity and the permeability of manufactured membranes. The formation mechanism of TiO(2)-blended membranes was altered, in a similar way, as result of EtOH at different contents of nanoparticles. Fouling resistance of modified membranes was significantly improved showing that EtOH addition is a suitable procedure for the membrane performance improvement. The rejection potential of membranes is hardly affected by the nanoparticles and EtOH incorporation into the polymeric solution.

TL;DR: This paper crowd-source programs for a variety of activities that happen in people's homes, via a game-like interface used for teaching kids how to code, and implements the most common atomic actions in the Unity3D game engine, and uses them to "drive" an artificial agent to execute tasks in a simulated household environment.
Abstract: In this paper, we are interested in modeling complex activities that occur in a typical household. We propose to use programs, i.e., sequences of atomic actions and interactions, as a high level representation of complex tasks. Programs are interesting because they provide a non-ambiguous representation of a task, and allow agents to execute them. However, nowadays, there is no database providing this type of information. Towards this goal, we first crowd-source programs for a variety of activities that happen in people's homes, via a game-like interface used for teaching kids how to code. Using the collected dataset, we show how we can learn to extract programs directly from natural language descriptions or from videos. We then implement the most common atomic (inter)actions in the Unity3D game engine, and use our programs to "drive" an artificial agent to execute tasks in a simulated household environment. Our VirtualHome simulator allows us to create a large activity video dataset with rich ground-truth, enabling training and testing of video understanding models. We further showcase examples of our agent performing tasks in our VirtualHome based on language descriptions.

TL;DR: The effect of wood content in 3D printing materials on the properties of 3D printed parts was investigated in this paper, where six filaments using polylactic acid (PLA) with varying loading levels of wood particles from 0% to 50% by weight were produced and used for 3D printings and the results showed that the surface of the parts printed from the filament without the addition of wood was smoother and the printed part had no voids within the structure.
Abstract: The effect of wood content in 3D printing materials on the properties of 3D printed parts was investigated. Six filaments using polylactic acid (PLA) with varying loading levels of wood particles from 0% to 50% by weight were produced and used for 3D printing. The density of the filaments and 3D printed parts used in this study slightly decreased with increasing wood content. The tensile strength of the filaments increased from 55 MPa to 57 MPa with an addition of 10% wood, but decreased with higher levels of wood content to 30 MPa for filaments with 50% wood content. The surface of the parts printed from the filament without the addition of wood was smoother and the printed part had no voids within the structure. With increasing wood content the surface becomes rougher, more voids were present, and had visible clusters of wood particles (due to wood particle clustering and clogging in the printer nozzle). Higher wood content in 3D printed parts decreased the storage modulus. measured with torsional loading on a rheometer, but did not change the glass transition temperature.
