The Benefits of Marriage Reconsidered

This paper suggests that analyses of marriage experience take into account both structures of inequality and context. Although marriage is widely viewed as producing economic well-being and family stability, this analysis of a sample of White rural families finds the likelihood of realizing these benefits to be closely related to social class position. Marriage failed to produce these benefits for many working class and poor families. Although gains in economic self-sufficiency are viewed as an explanation for White women\u27s perceived retreat from marriage, the limited opportunity structure for women in this rural place provides a context in which women continue to rely on marriage for economic survival

Biology of the Infectious Agent of Feline Infectious Peritonitis

Feline infectious peritonitis is an interesting disease to study not only because it is a fairly recently characterized disease whose infectious agent has not been isolated but also because it offers opportunities to study a rather unique host-parasite relationship.Veterinary Parasitology and Public Healt

Effects of lactofen herbicide on cellular uptake of glyphosate herbicide in malva parviflora L.

Time-course growth chamber studies were conducted on little mallow (Malva parviflora L.) to determine whether sublethal doses of lactofen (1'-(carboethoxy)ethyl-5-[2-chloro-4-(trifluoromethyl) phenoxy]-2- nitrobenzoate) would enhance uptake of glyphosate (N'-(phosphonomethyl) glycine) by altering membrane permeability. Lactofen-induced membrane peroxidation was determined by harvesting leaf discs, measuring stress ethylene evolution, and recording increases in electrical conductivity. Sublethal doses were established by determining the point at which stress ethylene was evolved, but increases in electrical conductivity were not significant; dosages above this point caused significant disruption of membrane integrity. Because shikimate accumulation requires biochemically active cells and shikimic acid concentration is directly correlated with glyphosate dose, glyphosate entry into cells was determined by measuring increases in shikimic acid content over time. By 84 h after application, shikimate accumulation in little mallow increased three- to four-fold when sublethal doses of lactofen were added to glyphosate spray solutions compared with glyphosate alone. Because light-activation of lactofen was not required, enhancement of cellular uptake of glyphosate was not attributed to subtle membrane perturbations induced by the peroxidative mechanism of action of sublethal lactofen doses. The absence of thick epicuticular wax deposits on little mallow leaf surfaces was revealed by scanning electron microscopy. Abrading cuticles physically did not enhance shikimate levels when glyphosate was applied alone or in combination with lactofen. The cuticle therefore was not a significant barrier to glyphosate uptake in little mallow grown under conditions of these experiments. The enhancing effect of lactofen on cellular uptake of glyphosate occurred at the cellular level but was not due to the normal light-activated mechanism of lactofen action

Assessment of urinary deoxynivalenol biomarkers in UK children and adolescents

© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Deoxynivalenol (DON), the mycotoxin produced mainly by Fusarium graminearum and found in contaminated cereal-based foodstuff, has been consistently detected in body fluids in adults. Available data in children and adolescents are scarce. This study assessed urinary DON concentrations in children aged 3–9 years (n = 40) and adolescents aged 10–17 years (n = 39) in the UK. Morning urine samples were collected over two consecutive days and analysed for free DON (un-metabolised form), DON-glucuronides (DON-GlcA), deepoxy deoxynivalenol (DOM-1), and total DON (sum of free DON, DON-GlcA, and DOM-1). Total DON was detected in the urine of > 95% of children and adolescents on both days. Mean total DON concentrations (ng/mg creatinine) were 41.6 and 21.0 for children and adolescents, respectively. The greatest total DON levels were obtained in female children on both days (214 and 219 ng/mg creatinine on days 1 and 2, respectively). Free DON and DON-GlcA were detected in most urine specimens, whereas DOM-1 was not present in any sample. Estimation of dietary DON exposure suggested that 33–63% of children and 5–46% of adolescents exceeded current guidance regarding the maximum provisional tolerable daily intake (PMTDI) for DON. Although moderate mean urinary DON concentrations were shown, the high detection frequency of urinary DON, the maximum biomarker concentrations, and estimated dietary DON exposure are concerning

A tuple space web service for distributed programming.

Abstract: This paper describes a new tuple space web service for coordination and communication in distributed web applications. This web service is based on the Linda programming model. Linda is a coordination language for parallel and distributed processing, providing a communication mechanism based on a logically shared memory space. The original Linda model has been extended through the provision of a programmable mechanism, providing additional flexibility and improved performance. The implementation of the web service is discussed, together with the details of the programmable matching mechanism. Some results from the implementation of a location-based mobile application, using the tuple space web service are presented, demonstrating the benefits of our system
