A self-interaction corrected pseudopotential scheme for magnetic and strongly-correlated systems

Local-spin-density functional calculations may be affected by severe errors when applied to the study of magnetic and strongly-correlated materials. Some of these faults can be traced back to the presence of the spurious self-interaction in the density functional. Since the application of a fully self-consistent self-interaction correction is highly demanding even for moderately large systems, we pursue a strategy of approximating the self-interaction corrected potential with a non-local, pseudopotential-like projector, first generated within the isolated atom and then updated during the self-consistent cycle in the crystal. This scheme, whose implementation is totally uncomplicated and particularly suited for the pseudopotental formalism, dramatically improves the LSDA results for a variety of compounds with a minimal increase of computing cost.Comment: 18 pages, 14 figure

Study Of Osmotic Dehydration Of Tomato In Ternary Solutions Through Response Surface Methodology [estudo Da Desidratação Osmótica De Tomate Em Soluções Ternárias Pela Metodologia De Superfície De Resposta]

The objective of this work was to study the influence of temperature (20-40°C), solution composition (0% NaCl/65% sucrose - 10% NaCl/55% sucrose) and agitation level (0 - 1000 rpm), on the osmotic dehydration of tomato's halves. The process was carried out in a jacketed tank connected to a thermostatic bath, and osmotic solution agitation was promoted by a mechanical stirrer and measured by a digital tachometer. Results were analyzed through response surface methodology, according to a 23 factorial experimental design. Water loss, salt and sucrose gain and final water activity of the product were positively influenced by temperature and by increasing salt content on the solution. Agitation influenced only on water loss, indicating that in this case, mass transfer is not governed only by a diffusion internal mechanism. Equilibrium proximity reached in each test was verified through the relationship between solution and samples water activities. The samples processed in solutions with higher salt content seemed to be more distant of equilibrium, after 3 hours of process.263715723(2002) Anuário Da Agricultura Brasileira, , AGRIANUAL 2003.

Intracellular pathways mediating estrogen-induced cholangiocyte proliferation in the rat

The aim of this study was to explore the intracellular signaling pathways involved in the stimulatory effects of estrogens on cholangiocyte proliferation. We investigated the tyrosine kinase-receptor pathway by evaluating the protein expression of total and phosphorylated mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) isoform p44/p42 (e.g., extracellular signal-regulated kinase [ERK] 1/2), the steroid-receptor coactivator Src and Shc (Src-homology/collagen protein). The study was performed in 3-week-old bile duct-ligated (BDL) rats, BDL rats treated with the antiestrogens, tamoxifen or Ici 182,780, and normal control rats. Proliferation was also evaluated in normal purified cholangiocytes treated with 17\u3b2 estradiol in the presence or absence of tamoxifen, Ici 182,780, ERK, or Src inhibitors. After bile duct ligation, cholangiocyte proliferation was associated with a marked immunohistochemical nuclear positivity for phosphorylated (p)-ERK1/2, which was inhibited by in vivo treatment with tamoxifen or Ici 182,780. Protein expression of total and p-ERK1/2, and Shc in cholangiocytes isolated from BDL rats was markedly increased compared with controls and was inhibited by in vivo treatment with antiestrogens. In vitro, 17\u3b2 estradiol-induced proliferation of isolated normal cholangiocyte was associated with increased (P <. 01) protein expression of p-ERK1/2, Src, and Shc. Specific inhibitors of ER (Ici 182,780), ERK (U0125), and Src (PP2) inhibited in vitro 17\u3b2 estradiol-induced cholangiocyte proliferation. In conclusion, this study showed that estrogens induced cholangiocyte proliferation by activating the Src/Shc/ERK pathway. This might suggest that pharmacologic modulation of ER, ERK, and/or Src could be proposed for the treatment of human pathology characterized by dysregulation of cholangiocyte proliferation

Increasing The Density Of Markers Around A Major Qtl Controlling Resistance To Angular Leaf Spot In Common Bean.

Angular leaf spot (ALS) causes major yield losses in the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.), an important protein source in the human diet. This study describes the saturation around a major quantitative trait locus (QTL) region, ALS10.1, controlling resistance to ALS located on linkage group Pv10 and explores the genomic context of this region using available data from the P. vulgaris genome sequence. DArT-derived markers (STS-DArT) selected by bulk segregant analysis and SCAR and SSR markers were used to increase the resolution of the QTL, reducing the confidence interval of ALS10.1 from 13.4 to 3.0 cM. The position of the SSR ATA220 coincided with the maximum LOD score of the QTL. Moreover, a new QTL (ALS10.2(UC)) was identified at the end of the same linkage group. Sequence analysis using the P. vulgaris genome located ten SSRs and seven STS-DArT on chromosome 10 (Pv10). Coincident linkage and genome positions of five markers enabled the definition of a core region for ALS10.1 spanning 5.3 Mb. These markers are linked to putative genes related to disease resistance such as glycosyl transferase, ankyrin repeat-containing, phospholipase, and squamosa-promoter binding protein. Synteny analysis between ALS10.1 markers and the genome of soybean suggested a dynamic evolution of this locus in the common bean. The present study resulted in the identification of new candidate genes and markers closely linked to a major ALS disease resistance QTL, which can be used in marker-assisted selection, fine mapping and positional QTL cloning.126102451246

Inheritance Of Growth Habit Detected By Genetic Linkage Analysis Using Microsatellites In The Common Bean (phaseolus Vulgaris L.)

The genetic linkage map for the common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is a valuable tool for breeding programs. Breeders provide new cultivars that meet the requirements of farmers and consumers, such as seed color, seed size, maturity, and growth habit. A genetic study was conducted to examine the genetics behind certain qualitative traits. Growth habit is usually described as a recessive trait inherited by a single gene, and there is no consensus about the position of the locus. The aim of this study was to develop a new genetic linkage map using genic and genomic microsatellite markers and three morphological traits: growth habit, flower color, and pod tip shape. A mapping population consisting of 380 recombinant F10 lines was generated from IAC-UNA × CAL143. A total of 871 microsatellites were screened for polymorphisms among the parents, and a linkage map was obtained with 198 mapped microsatellites. The total map length was 1865.9 cM, and the average distance between markers was 9.4 cM. Flower color and pod tip shape were mapped and segregated at Mendelian ratios, as expected. The segregation ratio and linkage data analyses indicated that the determinacy growth habit was inherited as two independent and dominant genes, and a genetic model is proposed for this trait. © 2010 Springer Science+Business Media B.V.274549560Adam-Blondom, A.M., Sévignac, M., Dron, M., A genetic map of common bean to localize specific resistance genes against anthracnose (1994) Genome, 37, pp. 915-924Al-Mukhtar, F.A., Coyne, D.P., Inheritance and association of flower, ovule, seed, pod and maturity characters in dry edible beans (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
