https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_effect
The Matthew effect of accumulated advantage, sometimes called the Matthew principle, is the tendency of individuals to accrue social or economic success in proportion to their initial level of popularity, friends, and wealth. It is sometimes summarized by the adage or platitude "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer". The term was coined by sociologists Robert K. Merton and Harriet Zuckerman in 1968 and takes its name from the Parable of the Talents in the biblical Gospel of Matthew.
related somehow to the [[Lindy effect]]?

Please sign these letters to legislators, telling them that misguided AI laws will hurt startups and small companies and discourage AI innovation and investment in California.AI offers tremendous benefits, but many fear AI and worry about potential harm and misuse. These are valid concerns for everyone, including legislators, but laws that promote safe and equitable AI should be fact-based, straightforward, and universally applied. Legislators in Sacramento are considering two proposals, AB 2930 and SB 1047, that would impose costly and unpredictable burdens on AI developers, including anticipating and preventing future harmful uses of AI. Though well-intended, these bills will dampen and inhibit innovation, permanently embed today’s AI leaders as innovation gatekeepers, and drive investment and talent to other states and countries.

Das globale Durchschnittseinkommen wird bei der jetzt zu erwartenden globalen Erhitzung 2050 fast um ein Fünttel niedriger sein als ohne Erhitzung. Die (nicht mehr zu vermeidenden) Einbußen durch die Erhitzung bis 2050 sind sechsmal so hoch wie die einer Begrenzung des Temperaturanstiegs auf 2°. 2050 ist einer neuen Studie zufolge mit Klimaschäden von etwa 38 Bllionen Dollar zu rechnen. Bis 2100 wird es in einem Business-as-usual-Szenario zu Einkommensverlusten von mehr als 60% kommen. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/apr/17/climate-crisis-average-world-incomes-to-drop-by-nearly-a-fifth-by-2050

2021 haben sich viele, vor allem britische, Banken zu sogenannten Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ) zusammengeschlossen. Ein Bericht der Organisation Reclaim Finance weist nach, dass über 50 von ihnen weiterhin massiv Investitionen in fossile Energien finanziert haben.

Der Artikel im Guardian stellt eine neue Studie dar, aus der hervorgeht, wie viel von der bereits existierenden Infrastruktur zur Förderung fossiler Brennstoff stillgelegt werden muss, um das 1,5° Ziel zu erreichen. Dabei geht die Autoren davon aus, dass man CO2 nicht realistisch wieder aus der Atmosphäre entfernen kann, und dass das 1,5° Ziel also nur zu erreichen ist, wenn nicht zu viel emittiert wird. Diese Studie fordert das Gegenteil der Planungen der fossilen Industrien, über der über die der Guardian gerade berichtet hatte. Der Artikel ist auch bemerkenswert, weil er auf eine Reihe weiterer wichtiger Studien zu fossilen Lagerstätten verweist.

20% der Schneemasse auf der Nordhalbkugel bedecken Gebiete, die im Winter meist wärmer sind als 8°. In diesen Gebieten hat die Schneedecke in den letzten Jahrzehnten bereits deutlich abgenommen. Für ihre Zukunft ist jedes Zehntelgrad mehr oder weniger Erhitzung entscheidend. Der Verlust der Schneedecke führt zu Problemen bei der Wasserversorgung etwa der Donau und des Mississippi. https://www.liberation.fr/environnement/y-aura-t-il-encore-de-la-neige-en-2050-20240117_UPOQVWROIZEBVDQRD5JBRA4EH4/

Als wichtigste Krisen werden im Durchschnitt der europäischen Länder die Klimakrise und dann Covid bewertet.

The fluctuation maps (Fu) were calculated from the MD trajectories of the 0-chains as described earlier (Hery et al, 1997). The fluctuation value Fy is given by the equation, where dy(t) is the distance between a pair of designated atoms ( ca atoms as used here) at time t and the angle brackets represent time averages. The Fy values are the standard deviation of interatomic distance. The fluctuation maps in Figure 6 has a black dot wherever the Fu value is less than or equal to 0.5A. Thus dark regions of the map indicate those parts of the molecule which undergo strongly coupled movements.

The lacZ U118 is an amber nonsense mutation(Am) that confers Lac─phenotype and also polarity of the downstream lacYA genes in the operon due to premature Rho-dependent transcription termination within the untranslated region of lacZ. Melibiose is a sugar which can only be utilized in a lacZ (Am) strain at high temperature (39 ̊C, when the native melibiose permease is inactive) if the downstream gene lacY encoded permease is transcribed and translated. Therefore, in lacZ (Am) strains, growth on minimal melibiose plates (0.2%) at 39°C reflects transcriptional polarity relief at the lac locus, and the same was scored after streaking the relevant strains on such medium

The galEp3 (galE490∗)mutation represents a 1.3 kb IS2 insertion in the gal leader region (between the promoter and structural genes of the galETKM operon). The mutation causes transcriptional polarity on the structural genes due to rho dependent transcription termination within IS2. In this assay, the gal operon expression in a galEp3mutant or its derivatives was monitored by one of two means. In the first, MacConkey galactose indicator plates (with 1% galactose) were used, where Gal+ colonies are red, and Gal− colonies are white. Therefore, the depth of color serves as an indicator of relative levels of gal expression. In the second method, growth of strains on minimal-galactose (0.2%) was used as a test for Gal+ phenotype

taining withER Tracker™ Blue White DPX: ER Tracker™ is a dapoxyl dye that specifically stains ER in live cells. Since the dye was not found to retain after fixation, live cell staining was performed when fixation was required before staining with antibodies against the CYP proteins. Once washed, the cells were blocked with 3% NGS prepared in 0.001% Digitonin for 30 min at 4°C. This was followed by washing cells with chilled PBS at centrifugation at 805 x g for 10 min at 4°C. Then the cells were incubated with the appropriate primary antibody prepared in 0.001% digitonin for 1h at 4°C. The unbound primary antibody was washed off with chilled PBS three times by centrifugation at 805 x g for 10 min at 4°C. Cells were then incubated with appropriate secondary antibody again prepared in 0.001 % digitonin for 1h on ice. This was followed by three washes with chilled PBS as before. ER Tracker Blue (1p.M) then added to cells which were incubated on ice for 30mins on ice. The excess dye was washed and the cells viewed under the microscope after mounting on slides with anti-fading mounting media

The protocols for immunostaining cells with different antibodies and dyes were standardized individually for the respective staining procedure: Staining with MitoTracker® Red: MitoTracker® probes diffuse passively across the plasma membrane and accumulate into the active mitochondria. 100]1M stock solutions of MitoTracker Red CMX Ros were prepared in DMSO. Cells were stained at a final concentration of 100nM for 10 min at 37°C, at RT in the dark. The excess unbound dye was washed off and the cells were ready to be viewed under the microscope or processed further for fixation and antibody staining. Staining with antibodies (Table 3.9): Log phase cells were centrifuged at 129 x g for 5 min at RT to remove all dead cells. The live cells were washed 2X with PBS to remove any adherent media and FBS. Fixation was carried out with 2% formaldehyde at RT for 15 min. The fixed cells were washed 2X with PBS by centrifugation at 805 x g at RT for 5 min. They were then blocked using 3% Normal Goat Serum (NGS) prepared in 0.01% Saponin for 30 min at RT. After a wash with PBS, the cells were incubated with appropriate dilution of primary antibody prepared in 0.01% saponin for 1h at RT. The unbound antibody was thoroughly washed off by at least three washes with PBS. Incubation with respective fluorophore conjugated secondary antibody, again diluted in 0.01% saponin, and was carried out for 45 min at RT. The unbound antibody was thoroughly washed off by at least three washes with PBS. The cells were resuspended in a small volume of PBS and mounted on a slide along with anti-fading mounting media (10% glycerol and 0.001% P-phenylenediamine)

The vector pBlueScript SK+ was used as the backbone to generate the replacement constructs. Standard cloning techniques were used (Sambrook et al., 1989). CYP5122A1 allelic replacement constructs were prepared by inserting ORFs encoding Neomycin or Hygromycin resistance between 0.4 Kb 5' and 0.37 Kb 3' CYP5122A1 flanking regions cloned into the vector pBlueScript SK+, to generate the constructs pBSK+CYP5122A1Neo and pBSK+CYP5122A1Hyg respectively. The following steps were performed. (i) A 416bp 5' flanking sequence of CYP5122A1 was amplified by Hi-fidelity PCR (Table 3.6) and cloned in between unique EcoRV and EcoRI sites of pBSK+ vector. (ii) A 378bp 3' flanking region of CYP5122A1 was amplified using Hi-fidelity PCR and cloned in between BamHI and Xbal sites in pBSK+ with the 5'fragment already cloned in. (iii) ORF for Neomycin resistance was amplified from the vector pXG-GFP+2 and cloned in between the 5' and 3' flanking regions already cloned into pBSK+ vector using the EcoRI and BamHI sites, to generate the construct pBSK+CYP5122A1Neo. (iv) To generate the second replacement construct, hygromycin ORF was amplified from the vector pXG-Hyg (Kindly provided by Dr. Stephen M. Beverley, Washington University) and cloned in between the 5' and 3' flanking regions using the sites Smal and BamHI to generate pBSK+CYP5122A1Hyg. Similarly CYP710C1 allelic replacement constructs were prepared by inserting ORFs encoding Neomycin or Hygromycin resistance between 0.36 Kb 5' and 0.37 Kb 3' CYP710C1 flanking regions cloned into the vector pBlueScript SK+, to generate the constructs pBSK+CYP710C1Neo and pBSK+CYP710C1Hyg respectively. The following steps were performed. (i) A 364 bp 5' flanking sequence of CYP710C1 was amplified by Hi-fidelity PCR (Table 3.7) and cloned in between unique EcoRV and EcoRI sites of pBlueScript SK+ vector. (ii) A 378bp 3 'flanking region of CYP710C1 was amplified using Hi-fidelity PCR and cloned in between BamHI and Xbal sites in pBlueScript SK+ with the 5'fragment already cloned in. (iii) ORF for Neomycin resistance was amplified from the vector pXG-GFP+2 and cloned in between the 5' and 3'flanking region cloned into pBlueScript SK+ vector using the EcoRI and BamHI sites, to generate the construct pBSK+CYP710C1Neo.

The DNA-protein complexes were then separated from free oligonucleotides on 6.6% native PAGE gel. The samples were loaded into a native PAGE gel, which was pre-run at constant current (40-50 mA) for 15-30 minutes. Electrophoresis was performed at constant current (80-100 mA), till the bromophenol blue dye front reached 1-2 cm from bottom of the gel. The glass plate was carefully removed without disturbing the gel and the Whatmann filter paper no. 3, cut to the size of the gel, and wasplaced over it. The paper was pressed gently and the gel, which was now firmly stuck on the paper, was covered with saran wrap and kept for vacuum drying on the gel-dryer at 80oC for 1 h. After drying, gel was exposed on a Phospho-imager screen for 12-24 h and scanned on Phospho-imager to detect the band of interest.To determine the specificity of the transcription factor binding or sub-unit interacting to the desired oligonucleotide, super-shift assay was performed. For this, 8-10 μg of nuclear extracts were first incubated with desired antibodies (concentration varies for different) or their isotype control for 1h at 25°C, followed by incubation with binding reaction mixture. The various oligonucleotide sequences used in the present study are listed in Table2.4below
-
For detection of protein-nucleic acid interaction, an electrophoretic mobility shift assay (EMSA) was conducted as described by Hellman and Fried (2007). Breifly, 8-10 μg of nuclear extract protein was incubated with binding reaction-mixture containing either 32P end-labeled double-stranded oligonucleotides (NF-κB, AP-1, p53 or SP-1) or unlabeled oligonucleotide as shown in table 2.3. The reaction mixture was incubated at 37°C for 45-60 min. After completion of reaction, 6μl of 6X DNA-loading dye was added and mixed well by gentle tapping.Table 2.3: Binding conditions for DNA-protein complexes in EMSA

The desired S.cerevisiae strain was grown overnight in YPD liquid medium and yeast cells were harvested by centrifugation at 2,500x gin 15 mL polypropylene tubes. Yeast cells were washed with PBS, suspended in 500 μL lysis buffer (Section 2.1.6.2) and were transferred to a 1.5 mL microcentrifuge tube. Yeast cells were incubated for 15 min on a thermomixer set at 65 ̊C and 750 rpm.After incubation, a volume equivalent to 500 μLof glass beads (0.5 mm) were added and cells were lysedon a beating apparatus by mixing three times for 45 seconds each with intermittent cooling on ice to prevent overheating.Cell lysates were centrifuged at 12,000 x gfor 5 min and upper aqueous phase was transferred carefully to a new 1.5 mLmicrocentrifuge tube, to which 275 μL of 3M sodium acetate was added. To this solution, 500 μL of chloroform was added, mixed well, and centrifuged at 12,000 x gfor 5 min at 4°C (this step was repeated twice). Supernatant was transferred to a new 1.5 mLmicrocentrifuge tubeand500 μL of isopropanolwas added and mixed well by inverting the tube 3-4 times. To precipitate genomic DNA, the suspension was centrifuged at 12000 x gfor 15minat 4°C. Precipitated genomic DNA was washed with 70% ethanol and dried at room temperature. The genomic DNA pellet was dissolved either in 100μLof Sigma molecular biology grade water or TE buffer supplied with Qiagen plasmid mini prep kit, andadd 1 μL of RNase solution (30 mg/mL) was added to this and incubated at 37oC for 1 h. The extracted genomic DNA was checked for integrityon a 0.8%agarose gel by electrophoresis and stored at -20oC

The WWP2-WWP1 heterodimeric complex formation under normal conditions and upon cisplatin-induced stress conditions was studied by gel exclusion chromatography. HEK293T cells untreated or treated with cisplatin were harvested,and cell lysate was prepared by using the standard protocol. Sephacryl S-200 (GE Healthcare) columns were equilibrated with 1X NETN (without Triton X-100) at a flow rate of 1ml/min. 0.8ml of cell lysate (1mg/ml) was passed through the Sephacryl S-200 column,and different fractions (fraction size; 500μl) were collected using Bio-Rad 2110 fraction collectorat the same flowrate. To determine the molecular weight of the fractions, column was calibrated with high molecular weight markers [range

In planta siderophore gene expression was studied by measuring β-glucuronidase activity. GUS marked BXOR1 strain and wild-typeBXOR1 (control) were inoculated in the leaves of 14 day old susceptible Taichung Native 1 (TN-1) variety of rice. After 10 days of inoculation, leaves were crushed and dissolved in 1 ml of MUG extraction buffer without adding MUG substrate (4-methylumbelliferyl β-D-glucuronide). Subsequently, 250 μl extraction buffer containing MUG was added, and incubated at 37°C for appropriate time (Jefferson et al., 1987). Next, 75-μl aliquots were taken from each reaction mixture, and the reaction was terminated by the addition of 675 μl Na2CO3 (0.2 M). Fluorescence was measured against 4-methyl-umbelliferone (MU; Sigma) as standard at excitation/emission wavelength of 365/455 nm, respectively in

shRNA were processed for invasion studies. A suspension of 1×105cells in 200μLof 1%FBS containing DMEM was prepared and plated as described in Section 2.2.16. Cells were incubated at 37ºC with 5% CO2for 24 h to allow invasion. Downstream processing of the samples i.e. removing non-invading cells, staining and imaging were followed as described in Section 2.2.16. The number of cells invadedto the lower surface was quantified by counting the total number of DAPI positive nuclei in at least 10 random fields. The total number of cells invaded was normalized to non-targeting control cells and expressed as percentage invasion
-
Invasion assays were conducted as described previously (Raoet al., 2015).Invasion chambers with pre-coated matrigel (BioCoat Matrigel invasion chamber, 24 well, 8 μm pore size, Corning) were used to conduct the invasion assays. Packages containing invasion chambers were kept outside and allowed to come to room temperature. Inserts were equilibrated by adding with 500 μLwarm (37ºC) 1% FBS containing DMEM to the upper chamber of the insert and bottom well of the companion plate, and rehydrated for 2 h in a humidified tissue culture incubator at 37ºCwith 5% CO2. The rehydration media was removed carefully without disturbing the pre-coated matrigel matrix on the membrane. Meanwhile, HCT116 cells expressing either non-targeting or IP6K1 targeting

foolish imaginations of his heart
Constructs which mistake the head as superior to the heart or as an adequate starting place for imaginings will always lead to destruction since the head can not handle nor is it designed for the necessary embedding and recursion which is a seed bearing fruit in itself. But it is sure that, before the brain breaks down and eventually falls/fails, those who mistake it as the best foundation will inevitably turn to mocking them who follow through with flow of spirit through and back to the heart. (see Lehi's Dream 1 Nephi 8:26-27 and Nephi's visitation of the same dream in 1 Nephi 11:35-36)
This phrase,"foolish imaginations" can and ought to be read as the "FULLish imaginations of his heart." In earlier verses we see that a FULL rendering of Lehi's heart brought about fulfillment on several levels already. This "fulfillment" even took the immediate form of a "filament" (pillar of light which struck a rock in front of Lehi just as the communication struck his heart with overpowering energy). The electrical charging effects of Full Imagining can be transmitted beyond the individual and others can be made to feel these effects, however, unless they are allowed to take hold in the heart where embedding and recursion can take place, then they are short lived and sometimes can have disastrous overall effect upon others who rely on second-hand spirit and external motivation. (see 1 Nephi 3:28-31 and 1 Nephi 17:53-54)

MR. CORNELLIER—All the confederations which you have mentioned were or are republican, and had the common fate of republican institutions. You have not said a word about monarchical confederations. MR. JOLY—I have made no mention of monarchical confederations, because none have ever existed, and none can exist. The principle of a monarchy is that the power resides in one person; the principle of confederation is that it resides in all the members of the confederation. A confederation would, therefore, always be a republic, even if formed of several states subject to a monarchy; because the power would not be vested in one person, but in each of the several states, of which no one would acknowledge a head ; it would be a republic consisting of a very small number of members. Before I take leave of all the confederations, the names of which I have mentioned, I intend to say one word, at least, in their favor. We understand that states

The seat of the Federal Government is to be at Ottawa, of course. The Governor General or other head of this magnificent future vice-royalty, or what not, will hold his court and parliament at Ottawa ; but a handsome sop is thrown to Quebec and Toronto, also. They, too, are each to have a provincial court and legislature and governmental departments.

But Theresa May, I think to -- on the heels of the Skripal attack, of the Russian nerve poison on a former agent and for which she garnered considerable international support, riding that wave into this -- and that response was a surprise to her, I think, in many ways, that going into this without getting parliamentary support, which at best would have been ambiguous, given the level of divisiveness and the precariousness of her position in Parliament, meant that she went along with that, without consulting with lawmakers and the backlash has been not just from Jeremy Corbyn or the opposition but also within her party, where there's a lack of consensus on whether or not she should have gone into this with Donald Trump, with French president Emmanuel Macron without greater consultation with the international community.

Well in everything any time that you're talking about Russia and the relationship between the United States and Russia, it's always in the context of this cloud that's over the president about whether or not he's got some kind of ulterior motive for his policies and looked the combination of James Comey going out there over the last several days saying I don't know if the Russians have something that they are using to blackmail the president, and then the sort of abrupt, like hey, I don't want to do sanctions on Russia, you know, yes, there were some sanctions but he was very much pushed in the direction by Capitol Hill and others.

This was back in 2013 President Obama looked at that chemical attack, and at that point in time, his general was saying, hey, it's not a slam-dunk, because you can detect there were Syrian claims, you can detect Syrians dropped bombs, but it's sometimes hard to know if they dropped an existing vehicle of weapons, and Syria has been known to use chemical weapons, or if the Syrians did it.
