Abstract Expectations for the time scale and structure of allelic genealogies in finite populations are formed under three models of sporophytic self-incompatibility. The models differ in the dominance interactions among the alleles that determine the self-incompatibility phenotype: In the SSIcod model, alleles act codominantly in both pollen and style, in the SSIdom model, alleles form a dominance hierarchy, and in SSIdomcod, alleles are codominant in the style and show a dominance hierarchy in the pollen. Coalescence times of alleles rarely differ more than threefold from those under gametophytic self-incompatibility, and transspecific polymorphism is therefore expected to be equally common. The previously reported directional turnover process of alleles in the SSIdomcod model results in coalescence times lower and substitution rates higher than those in the other models. The SSIdom model assumes strong asymmetries in allelic action, and the most recessive extant allele is likely to be the most recent common ancestor. Despite these asymmetries, the expected shape of the allele genealogies does not deviate markedly from the shape of a neutral gene genealogy. The application of the results to sequence surveys of alleles, including interspecific comparisons, is discussed.

Analysis of the slowed turnover rates of several specific mRNA species and the higher cellular levels of some of these mRNAs in Saccharomyces cerevisiae lacking 5'-->3' exoribonuclease 1 (xrn1 cells) has led to the finding that these yeast contain higher amounts of essentially full-length mRNAs that do not bind to oligo(dT)-cellulose. On the other hand, the length of mRNA poly(A) chains found after pulse-labeling of cells lacking the exoribonuclease, the cellular rate of synthesis of oligo(dT)-bound mRNA, and the initial rate of its deadenylation appeared quite similar to the same measurements in wild-type yeast cells. Examination of the 5' cap structure status of the poly(A)-deficient mRNAs by comparative analysis of the m7G content of poly(A)- and poly(A)+ RNA fractions of wild-type and xrn1 cells suggested that the xrn1 poly(A)- mRNA fraction is low in cap structure content. Further analysis of the 5' termini by measurements of the rate of 5'-->3' exoribonuclease 1 hydrolysis of specific full-length mRNA species showed that approximately 50% of the xrn1 poly(A)-deficient mRNA species lack the cap structure. Primer extension analysis of the 5' terminus of ribosomal protein 51A (RP51A) mRNA showed that about 30% of the poly(A)-deficient molecules of the xrn1 cells are slightly shorter at the 5' end. The finding of some accumulation of poly(A)-deficient mRNA species partially lacking the cap structure together with the reduction of the rate of mRNA turnover in cells lacking the enzyme suggest a possible role for 5'-->3' exoribonuclease 1 in the mRNA turnover process.

A kind of new steel coil upender clamping device was designed. The model was set up by use of SolidWorks and the reliability analysis and motion simulation was further performed in ADAMS. Because of risk at steel coil upender, once the accident appears, it gently slowed-up production and damaged the device, and it could cause people’s dying vitally, it is especially important to assure the longtime work and safety of device which we studied on. The results showed that the efficiency of turnover process of the device was high and the system could save driving force. These also provided some theory bases for the design of the device.

This study examines the effects of fairness in budgeting on individual performance in a nonparticipative budgeting setting. An experiment was conducted in which subjects performed a production task and were compensated under a budget-based incentive contract. Performance was lowest when an unfair budget target was assigned using an unfair budgeting process. When the budget target assigned was fair, the fairness or unfairness of the budgeting process had no effect on performance. When an unfair budget target was determined using a fair budgeting process, mean performance was not significantly different from mean performance of the subjects assigned fair budget targets. Implications of this result in assigning stretch targets are discussed.

Osteoporosis is characterized by rapid and irreversible loss of trabecular bone tissue leading to increased bone fragility. In this study, we hypothesize two causes for rapid loss of bone trabeculae; firstly, the perforation of trabeculae is caused by osteoclasts resorbing a cavity so deep that it cannot be refilled and, secondly, the increases in bone tissue elastic modulus lead to increased propensity for trabecular perforation. These hypotheses were tested using an algorithm that was based on two premises: (i) bone remodelling is a turnover process that repairs damaged bone tissue by resorbing and returning it to a homeostatic strain level and (ii) osteoblast attachment is under biochemical control. It was found that a mechano-biological algorithm based on these premises can simulate the remodelling cycle in a trabecular strut where damaged bone is resorbed to form a pit that is subsequently refilled with new bone. Furthermore, the simulation predicts that there is a depth of resorption cavity deeper than which refilling of the resorption pits is impossible and perforation inevitably occurs. However, perforation does not occur by a single fracture event but by continual removal of microdamage after it forms beneath the resorption pit. The simulation also predicts that perforations would occur more easily in trabeculae that are more highly mineralized (stiffer). Since both increased osteoclast activation rates and increased mineralization have been measured in osteoporotic bone, either or both may contribute to the rapid loss of trabecular bone mass observed in osteoporotic patients.
