Developing potent antimicrobials, and platforms for their study and engineering, is critical as antibiotic resistance grows. A high-throughput method to quantify antimicrobial peptide and protein (AMP) activity across a broad continuum can elucidate sequence-activity landscapes and identify potent mutants. We developed a platform to perform sequence-activity mapping of AMPs via depletion (SAMP-Dep): a bacterial host culture is transformed with an AMP mutant library, induced to express AMPs, grown, and deep sequenced to quantify mutant frequency. The slope of mutant growth rate versus induction level indicates potency. Using SAMP-Dep, we screened 170,000 mutants of oncocin, a proline-rich AMP, for intracellular activity against Escherichia coli. Clonal validation of 36 mutants supported SAMP-Dep sensitivity and accuracy. The efficiency and accuracy of SAMP-Dep enabled mapping the oncocin sequence-activity space with remarkable detail and scale and guided focused, successful synthetic peptide library design, yielding a mutant with two-fold enhancement in both intracellular and extracellular activity.

Since quality of life research is essentially concerned with measuring and monitoring welfare. In order to measure quality of life, one must have a theory of what makes up a good life [Cobb (2000)]. There is a variety of such theories and notions of what constitutes a ‗good life‘ and correspondingly different concepts of welfare and quality of life have been developed. Various approaches and operationalisations are to be distinguished, each of which reveals a different concept of welfare and thus highlights different components and dimensions [Noll (2000)]. Among the various efforts to operationalise welfare in general and the quality of life concept in particular, two contrary approaches are to be distinguished, which define the two extreme positions on a broad continuum of concepts currently available: the Scandinavian level of living approach [Erickson (1993)] and the American quality of life approach [Campbell (1976)]. The Scandinavian approach focuses almost exclusively on resources and objective living conditions, whereas the American approach emphasises the subjective well-being of individuals as a final outcome of conditions and processes.

Broad Continuum

The strongest broad absorption feature in the peculiar energy distributions of the Ap stars is that centered at about 5200 Å, thus the Stromgren y band and the Geneva VI band are most affected in stars in which this feature is strong. Fig. 1 shows bandpasses (full width at ½ intensity maximum) of three widely used photometric systems superimposed on two of our scans of Ap stars and two solar abundance line blanketed model atmospheres (Kurucz 1979). It is seen that both the y and VI bands fall entirely within the λ5200 feature. The plot (Fig. 2a) of b-y vs. Tpc (the color temperature of the red end of the Paschen continuum), shows that the b-y colors for most of our sample of Ap stars are displaced to the blue of the b-y, Teff relationship of Relyea and Kurucz (1978). In Fig. 2b, Δ(b−y) = (model b−y) − (observed b−y), for a given temperature is plotted vs. ΔWS2(5200), a spectrophotometric index measuring the equivalent width of the λ5200 feature. There is a strong correlation between Δ(b-y) and ΔWS2(5200), indicating quantitatively the large effect of the λ5200 feature on the y band, previously discussed by Adelman (1979). The deviations in Ap star B2-G values from the normal star B2-G vs. T curve are much less than for b-y, as the Geneva G band is largely outside the λ5200 feature (Fig. 2c). Thus B2-G is a better temperature indicator for Ap stars than is b-y (also see Hauck and North 1982).

The spectra of delayed fluorescence of high purity anthracene and naphthalene crystals have been measured as a function of temperature. Below 50 °K they are very different from the spectra of prompt fluorescence. The spectra of delayed fluorescence are the superposition of three types of subspectra: different X-traps-spectra, a broad continuum, and the pure crystal spectrum. From the temperature dependence of the relative intensities of these spectra one can measure the trap depth. - It is shown that the delayed fluorescence is at least 100 times more sensitive against traps and guest molecules than the prompt fluorescence. This is demonstrated using naphthalene-anthracene mixed crystals.

Stage Props

While they might seem like ‘toys’ or ‘trifles’, stage properties in Shakespeare’s comedies subtly unsettle the relationship between human subject and non-human object. Even such seemingly innocuous comedic props as letters (in Two Gentlemen of Verona and Love’s Labour’s Lost) and rings (in The Merchant of Venice) can be given incommensurate weight by the comic plot. Drawing on both semiotic and phenomenological accounts of stage props as well as the synthesis of these approaches in the work of Erika Lin and Andrew Sofer, this essay explores the broad continuum between the comically disruptive misdirected letter and absent, irreplaceable objects like Shylock’s turquoise ring and demonstrates just how rigorously Shakespeare’s comic props test our investment in comedic narrative and the comic resolution.

Phonological awareness has been shown to be an important component of early reading success. The purpose of this article is to review the importance of phonological awareness within the broader context of language/literacy learning. Consideration for a broad continuum of phoneme awareness skills is discussed. Specific techniques are offered to guide the speech-language pathologist in the assessment of phonological awareness skills.
