Millimetric Astronomy from the High Antarctic Plateau: site testing at Dome C

Preliminary site testing at Dome C (Antarctica) is presented, using both Automatic Weather Station (AWS) meteorological data (1986-1993) and Precipitable Water Vapor (PWV) measurements made by the authors. A comparison with South Pole and other sites is made. The South Pole is a well established astrophysical observing site, where extremely good conditions are reported for a large fraction of time during the year. Dome C, where Italy and France are building a new scientific station, is a potential observing site in the millimetric and sub-millimetric range. AWS are operating at both sites and they have been continuously monitoring temperature, pressure, wind speed and direction for more than ten years. Site testing instruments are already operating at the South Pole (AASTO, Automated Astrophysical Site-Testing Observatory), while ''light'' experiments have been running at Dome C (APACHE, Antarctic Plateau Anisotropy CHasing Experiment) during summertime. A direct comparison between the two sites is planned in the near future, using the AASTO. The present analysis shows that the average wind speed is lower at Dome C (~1 m/s) than at the South Pole (~2 m/s), while temperature and PWV are comparable.Comment: 10 pages, 8 figures, se also http://www.atnf.csiro.au/pasa/16_2

Invasion Properties of Listeria monocytogenes in Aged Cells

Listeriosis is a bacterial infection caused by the gram-positive pathogen Listeria monocytogenes. When compared to other foodborne illnesses, listeriosis has a higher death rate due to an increased incidence of complications such as meningitis, hydrocephalus, and sepsis in immunocompromised populations. Elderly individuals experience a condition known as immunosenescence, which is a gradual compromisation of the immune system brought on by natural aging. Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS) is a rare genetic disorder causing premature aging, which allows HGPS cell lines to be used as models to further research in the field of biogerontology. This study utilizes the F2365 strain of L. monocytogenes, which was responsible for the 1985 listeriosis epidemic that killed around 50 people, to compare the pathogenesis of L. monocytogenes in aged and unaged cells. Through a series of time course invasions utilizing B cell lines donated from an individual with HGPS (AG03344) and their healthy sibling (AG03343), data were generated to that concluded L. monocytogenes were able cross the cell membrane quicker and proliferate longer within the B cell lines of aged cells. Oxygen consumption rates of AG03343 and AG03344 were also measured, which concluded HGPS cell lines demonstrate a reduction in oxygen consumption and utilization in cellular respiration. This may be responsible for the observed increase in pathogenesis. Further work is needed to determine the impact of reduced oxygen availability and pathogenesis of L. monocytogenes.
