Background: Bacterial meningitis is associated with high mortality and long-term neurological sequelae. Increasing the phagocytic activity of microglia could improve the resistance of the CNS against infections. We studied the influence of activin A, a member of the TGF-β family with known immunoregulatory and neuroprotective effects, on the functions of microglial cells in vitro.
Methods: Primary murine microglial cells were treated with activin A (0.13 ng/ml–13 μg/ml) alone or in combination with agonists of TLR2, 4, and 9. Phagocytosis of Escherichia coli K1 as well as release of TNF-α, IL-6, CXCL1, and NO was assessed.
Results: Activin A dose-dependently enhanced the phagocytosis of Escherichia coli K1 by microglial cells activated by agonists of TLR2, 4, and 9 without further increasing NO and proinflammatory cytokine release. Cell viability of microglial cells was not affected by activin A.
Conclusions: Priming of microglial cells with activin A could increase the elimination of bacteria in bacterial CNS infections. This preventive strategy could improve the resistance of the brain to infections, particularly in elderly and immunocompromised patients.
Ach du dicke Trespe!
(2007)
Die dicke Trespe gehört zu den bedrohten Pflanzenarten Baden-Württembergs, für die das Land in besonderer Verantwortung steht. Ziel des Faltblattes ist, Landwirte und Öffentlichkeit gleichermaßen über Gefährdungsursachen und Maßnahmen zum Schutz dieser in ganz Mitteleuropa äußerst selten gewordenen Süßgrasart zu informieren.

Abschied von Gestern : über den Jungen und den Neuen Deutschen Film von 1962 bis in die Gegenwart?
(2000)
Verdächtig war schon immer der Künstler, der etwas mitzuteilen hatte, das sich im Jenseitigen der ökonomischen Einheitsaussagen ansiedelte. Parteigängertum warf man ihm schlimmstenfalls vor; und wenn diese Aussage dann auch noch ganz unverhohlen soziale oder politische Implikationen trug, so konnte sich der Künstler einer regen und zum Ärger erregten Öffentlichkeit bereits sicher sein. Dies gilt heute genauso wie 1945 in der Bundesrepublik. Sicherlich: Damals kam die Kritik an den Umständen und das beständige Herbeizitieren der jüngsten Vergangenheit nicht gut an, weil man doch "neu anfangen" wollte, das Schlimme hinter sich und das Gute vor sich sehen wollte. Heutzutage nerven soziale oder politische Aussagen der Kunst nur noch, weil sie uns dazu bewegen wollen, doch endlich etwas zu unternehmen gegen die angeprangerten Missstände. Aus dieser Sicht muss der damals Junge bzw. Neue Deutsche Film heute antiquierter wirken, als die Filmbeiträge, die dieses Projekt damals hinter sich lassen wollte.
Der angewandten Ornithologie stellt sich die neue Aufgabe, für die artenschutzrechtliche Prüfung nach BNatG lokale Populationen für jede planungsrelevante Vogelart zu definieren. Der Beitrag stellt den in Nordrhein-Westfalen erarbeiteten Ansatz vor, in praxistauglicher Weise Typen von lokalen Populationen zu benennen und diese dann den Vogelarten zuzuordnen. Die lokalen Populationen bilden dann die Bezugsebene für die Bewertung der Erheblichkeit der Auswirkungen von Planungen bzw. genehmigungspflichtigen Vorhaben auf planungsrelevante Vogelarten.

This paper reports on the SYN-RA (SYNtax-based Reference Annotation) project, an on-going project of annotating German newspaper texts with referential relations. The project has developed an inventory of anaphoric and coreference relations for German in the context of a unified, XML-based annotation scheme for combining morphological, syntactic, semantic, and anaphoric information. The paper discusses how this unified annotation scheme relates to other formats currently discussed in the literature, in particular the annotation graph model of Bird and Liberman (2001) and the pie-in-thesky scheme for semantic annotation.
With the discovery of Mitocybe auriportae Cook and Loomis, 1928 (Platydesmida: Andrognathidae) in Alameda County (Co.), east of San Francisco Bay, a potential overall distribution in coastal California is projected based on those of partly congruent diplopods. The area extends from northern Mendocino to central Monterey cos. and inland to central Lake, Yolo, and Santa Clara cos.
Traditionally, parsers are evaluated against gold standard test data. This can cause problems if there is a mismatch between the data structures and representations used by the parser and the gold standard. A particular case in point is German, for which two treebanks (TiGer and TüBa-D/Z) are available with highly different annotation schemes for the acquisition of (e.g.) PCFG parsers. The differences between the TiGer and TüBa-D/Z annotation schemes make fair and unbiased parser evaluation difficult [7, 9, 12]. The resource (TEPACOC) presented in this paper takes a different approach to parser evaluation: instead of providing evaluation data in a single annotation scheme, TEPACOC uses comparable sentences and their annotations for 5 selected key grammatical phenomena (with 20 sentences each per phenomena) from both TiGer and TüBa-D/Z resources. This provides a 2 times 100 sentence comparable testsuite which allows us to evaluate TiGer-trained parsers against the TiGer part of TEPACOC, and TüBa-D/Z-trained parsers against the TüBa-D/Z part of TEPACOC for key phenomena, instead of comparing them against a single (and potentially biased) gold standard. To overcome the problem of inconsistency in human evaluation and to bridge the gap between the two different annotation schemes, we provide an extensive error classification, which enables us to compare parser output across the two different treebanks. In the remaining part of the paper we present the testsuite and describe the grammatical phenomena covered in the data. We discuss the different annotation strategies used in the two treebanks to encode these phenomena and present our error classification of potential parser errors.
A taxonomic review of the ancora species group of Graphipterus Latreille (Coleoptera: Carabidae)
(2012)
The taxonomy of the ancora species group of Graphipterus Latreille (Coleoptera: Carabidae) is reviewed and seven species are recognized, all from southern Africa: Graphipterus ancora Dejean, Graphipterus cordiger Dejean, Graphipterus distinctus Péringuey (new status), Graphipterus fasciatus Chaudoir, Graphipterus fritschi Chaudoir, Graphipterus wahlbergi Boheman (new status), and Graphipterus westwoodi Brême (new status).
Diagnostic features are provided for each species and adult specimens of each species are illustrated.
The goals of this exercise are essentially threefold: (1) to rescrutinize, archaeologically, epigraphically and linguistically, the pre-Roman inscriptions of the justly famous Negau A and B helmets, (2) to identify "eastward graphemic drift" in preRoman northern Italy and (3) to reconsider and perhaps identify the origin of the Germanic runes in light of (1) and (2). While moving toward these goals, we cite but a sampling of the burgeoning literature, some of which may not be generally known or easily accessible, in these rapidly expanding venues; see Ellis (1998) for a recent overview in English.
The Caribbean Islands (or the West Indies) are recognized as one of the leading global biodiversity hot
spots. This is based on data on species, genus, and family diversity for vascular plants and non-marine vertebrates. This
paper presents data on genus level endemicity for the most speciose (but less well publicised) group of terrestrial
animals: the beetles, with 205 genera (in 25 families) now recognized as being endemic (restricted) to the West Indies.
The predominant families with endemic genera are Cerambycidae (41), Chrysomelidae (28), Curculionidae (26), and
Staphylinidae (25). This high level of beetle generic endemicity can be extrapolated to suggest that a total of about
700 genera of all insects could be endemic to the West Indies. This far surpasses the total of 269 endemic genera of all
plants and non-marine vertebrates, and reinforces the biodiversity richness of the insect fauna of the West Indies.
The monotypic aesaline genus Lucanobium Howden and Lawrence (Coleoptera: Lucanidae) was previously known only from Venezuela. A second species is here described as new from French Guiana, extending the range of the genus approximately 1800 km to the southeast. The generic description of Lucanobium is updated with respect to the discovery of a second species.
A saga dos Chingunji
(2009)
Na verdade, é possível estabelecer um paralelo entre os Kennedy e os Chingunji. Isso poderia ser útil para se encontrar alguns pontos em comum sobre as fontes de uma saga. As sagas acontecem, por norma, em famílias numerosas, inteligentes, dinâmicas, empreendedoras, com um grande protagonismo social e político, que agem em função do projecto familiar de um patriarca. Diz-nos Klein que, para o caso dos Kennedy, a saga abateu-se sobre esta família pelo facto de Patrick Kennedy, um irlandês, que emigrou para os Estados Unidos da América, em 1858, ter deixado um legado de humilhação que estimulou a “imprudência e o comportamento arriscado dos seus descendentes”. Patrick Kennedy morreu aos 35 anos de tuberculose. Talvez não seja o caso do patriarca dos Chingunji, Eduardo Jonatão Chingunji. No entanto, não resta dúvida alguma de que o legado por ele deixado – meter-se na vida política – tenha, sob o efeito de bola de neve, levado todos os seus descendentes para o caminho dramático que se conhece.
