41SM32 on Little Saline Creek in Smith County, Texas

A review of early trinomial numbers for sites located in Smith County in East Texas indicated that between 1938 and 1943 Jack Hughes identified and collected from at least 37 sites listed on the Texas Historic Site Atlas. From 1938 to 1941 his site locations randomly occur throughout the County; interestingly there are no sites recorded in 1942. In 1943 he recorded about 14 sites along Black Fork Creek and its tributaries, this being mostly west of the City of Tyler. The primary purpose in reviewing the available archaeological information about these early recorded sites was to re-visit selected sites if necessary and to update information that was recorded beginning almost 80 years ago. An entry contained on a Texas Archeological Research Laboratory at The University of Texas (TARL) site card indicated that Hughes collected artifacts from a site (41SM32) located on Little Saline Creek, near the much better known Alligator Pond site (41SM442) that had been recorded in 2011 by Mark Walters. The Alligator Pond site is on property owned by Thacker, a Texas Archeological Stewardship Network member. 41SM32 is a prehistoric archaeological site that was found and recorded in September 1940 by Jack Hughes, who later went on to a career as a professional archaeologist in Texas. The site is on Little Saline Creek, a northward-flowing tributary to the Sabine River about 10 km to the north, in the Post Oak Savannah of East Texas

Viral hijacking of cellular metabolism.

This review discusses the current state of the viral metabolism field and gaps in knowledge that will be important for future studies to investigate. We discuss metabolic rewiring caused by viruses, the influence of oncogenic viruses on host cell metabolism, and the use of viruses as guides to identify critical metabolic nodes for cancer anabolism. We also discuss the need for more mechanistic studies identifying viral proteins responsible for metabolic hijacking and for in vivo studies of viral-induced metabolic rewiring. Improved technologies for detailed metabolic measurements and genetic manipulation will lead to important discoveries over the next decade

Engaging Stem Cells for Customized Tendon Regeneration

The need for a consistent therapeutic approach to tendon injury repair is long overdue. Patients with tendon microtears or full ruptures are eligible for a wide range of invasive and non invasive interventions, often subjectively decided by the physician. Surgery produces the best outcomes, and while studies have been conducted to optimize graft constructs and to track outcomes, the data from these studies have been inconclusive on the whole. What has been established is a clear understanding of healthy tendon architecture and the inherent process of healing. With this knowledge, tissue regeneration efforts have achieved immense progress in scaffold design, cell line selection, and, more recently, the appropriate use of cytokines and growth factors. This paper evaluates the plasticity of bone-marrow-derived stem cells and the elasticity of recently developed biomaterials towards tendon regeneration efforts. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), hematopoietic progenitor cells, and poly(1,8-octanediol co-citrate) scaffolds (POC) are discussed in the context of established grafting strategies. With POC scaffolds to cradle the growth of MSCs and hematopoietic progenitor cells, developing a fibroelastic network guided by cytokines and growth factors may contribute towards consistent graft constructs, enhanced functionality, and better patient outcomes

A discourse on the potential of crowdfunding and Islamic finance in the agricultural sector of East Java, Indonesia

Literature evidence on the transformation transpires agriculture sector in East Java for the last 5 to 10 years. The contribution of the agricultural sector towards East Java gross domestic product (GDP) in 2008 recorded at 16.55%, however, shrinks to 13.75% in 2015. This statistic shows the regressed contribution of the agriculture sector in comparison to other economic sectors. One common view that linked to shrinking in credit composition is due to the lack of credit accessibility for the sector. Given that, this paper attempts to propose a viable financing model to develop the agricultural sector in East Java known as Integrated Agricultural Land Crowdfunding Model (IALCM) using Islamic financing instruments through a crowdfunding platform. This model is expected to offer farmers in East Java to meet theirliquidity constraints and the Indonesian government to accelerate social entrepreneurship innovation with conceivable recommendations forthe development of agricultural sector in East Jav

Covid-19, Financial Markets (Islamic vs Non-Islamic), and Exchange Rate: Does the Malaysian Market Offers Diversification Opportunities to the Investors?

We explore the impact of Covid-19 towards Islamic and non-Islamic financial markets in Malaysia. We employ the wavelet coherency approach (WCA) which allows a deeper investigation of the relationship between the selected variables in terms time-frequency domain. We document that (i) Islamic capital markets represented by FTSEBMEI and MyETFDJIMMT25 are performing better during the Covid-19 period and also offer a greater investment opportunity to the investors for diversification purposes, (ii) non-Islamic index, FTSEBMKLCI, was less affected during this pandemic, and the market offers better risk and optimal diversification benefits to the investors as time progresses, and (iii) exchange rate appears to be more stable and within the phase category, indicating the co-movements are relatively strong in smaller scales. Understanding the impact of Covid-19 on the financial markets will lend to a better portfolio investment design which considers return and risk

A Study of Innovative Attitude of Indian Entrepreneurs of Various Industries in the Context to Educational and Economic Background

The latest lifestyle or recent trends are the result of innovative efforts undertaken by entrepreneurs. It is the thirst of entrepreneurs that gives birth to a new product. To survive in economy innovations are essentials. Many entrepreneurs do not innovate but imitate and even though they earn handsome. Innovative attitudes may not be the property carrying by every entrepreneur. Not only but it might be the result of a multifold factors. So a research is conducted in Saurashtra region of Gujarat state. A sample of 209 entrepreneurs of various 7 prominent industries of Saurashtra have been selected and compared on the grounds of innovation. The study compares innovative attitude of entrepreneurs based on their educational qualifications and economic background. The results revealed that no significant difference is noticed among the various entrepreneurs of various industries based on innovation. They differed significantly while compared on the grounds of educational qualifications and economic backgrounds

Analysis for Molecular Distinction in the Chloroplast DNA Sequences of Gymnospora montana (Celastraceae) and Belanites aegyptiaca (Balanitaceae) from Semi-arid Area

Gymnospora montana (Celastraceae) and Belanites aegyptiaca  (Balanitaceae) showed marked similarity in  their cpDNA sequences. Therefore, its detail analysis of cpDNA sequences is performed for codon use bias and its index, relative synonymous codon use value (RSCU), effective number of codons (ENC), GC content of the gene and frequencies of the nucleotides G+C at various positions in synonymous codon were calculated and compared it with Tribulus terresties. Length of the gene and ENC showed close relationship which suggest that longer genes has less codon bias. The codons for leucine, isoleucine and serine were most abundant in the studied plant species. The correlation analysis suggested that codon usage patterns in both cp genomes appear due to the different forces; natural selection, mutation pressure, GC content of gene and protein length.   Their role in gene evolution process is discussed
