The New Zealand Building Code does not guarantee performance in all areas that many homeowners might expect. Fortunately, Homestar is available to close the performance gaps. Homestar Headline Benefits •    Fresh air •    Dry •    Comfort •    Carbon   Homestar Design Checklist This is a summary of the basic requirements over and above basic building code compliance for achieving 6 Homestar v5. Inclusion of everything here does not guarantee compliance but is a starting point for what should be considered. Homestar Designer: This can be someone within the project team or an external consultant. Engage them in the process as early as possible. Energy model: Homestar v5 uses predicted performance criteria rather than a schedule of allowable insulation levels. The performance criteria include estimated energy consumption, winter and summer internal temperature and likely carbon emissions and these can be calculated using the Energy and Carbon Calculator for Homes (ECCHO). Energy modelling used to be a highly specialised process and expensive process. ECCHO makes energy modelling accessible to Homestar Designers Continuous mechanical ventilation: Internal moisture is a significant problem for New Zealand homes and there is adequate evidence that the building code requirements of openable windows is not reliable for providing enough fresh air and removing dampness. There are simple solutions available for 6 Homestar that are nearly silent, cost very little to run and will provide much more reliable benefits to homeowners. Thermally broken windows: Pay attention to the window frames, not just the glass. Slab edge insulation OR above slab insulation: Junctions such as the connection between walls and floors are risk areas for condensation. Some additional insulation detail can help prevent this and can be easily incorporated when considered early. Water efficient fittings: These are commonly available.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.08.01.551382v1?rss=1 Authors: Choi, H., Liao, Y.-C., Yoon, Y. J., Grimm, J. B., Lavis, L., Singer, R. H., Lippincott-Schwartz, J. Abstract: One-third of the mammalian proteome is comprised of transmembrane and secretory proteins that are synthesized on endoplasmic reticulum (ER). Here, we investigate the spatial distribution and regulation of mRNAs encoding these membrane and secretory proteins (termed 'secretome' mRNAs) through live cell, single molecule tracking to directly monitor the position and translation states of secretome mRNAs on ER and their relationship to other organelles. Notably, translation of secretome mRNAs occurred preferentially near lysosomes on ER marked by the ER junction-associated protein, Lunapark. Knockdown of Lunapark reduced the extent of secretome mRNA translation without affecting translation of other mRNAs. Less secretome mRNA translation also occurred when lysosome function was perturbed by raising lysosomal pH or inhibiting lysosomal proteases. Secretome mRNA translation near lysosomes was enhanced during amino acid deprivation. Addition of the integrated stress response inhibitor, ISRIB, reversed the translation inhibition seen in Lunapark knockdown cells, implying an eIF2 dependency. Altogether, these findings uncover a novel coordination between ER and lysosomes, in which local release of amino acids and other factors from ER-associated lysosomes patterns and regulates translation of mRNAs encoding secretory and membrane proteins.

Abstract: Tjp1 + is considered a crucial protein involved in the stepwise assembly of tight junctions (TJs) between compaction and blastocoel cavitation in early development. In this study, we investigated the specific role of Tjp1 + in TJ formation by employing an alternative splicing-specific knockdown of the Tjp1 + exon. To deplete Tjp1 + expression, we used siRNA targeting RNA-binding protein 47 (Rbm47), which induces the inclusion of the + exon in Tjp1 mRNA. The knockdown resulted in approximately 85% reduction in Rbm47 mRNA levels and 75% reduction in Tjp1 + mRNA levels in blastocysts. Surprisingly, despite this knockdown, blastocyst development and TJ permeability of trophectoderm were unaffected. Additionally, we observed an interaction between Tjp1 - and Ocln in Rbm47 knockdown blastocysts, suggesting a compensatory role of Tjp1 -. Overall, our findings indicate that Tjp1 + is not essential for the stepwise assembly of TJs and the completion of TJ biogenesis during blastocyst development in mice although a minimal amount of remaining Tjp1 + is sufficient for TJs assembly.

G., Campos, Y., Mishra, A., Fremuth, L. E., Gomero, E., Hu, H., d'Azzo, A. Abstract: Endoplasmic reticulum-plasma membrane (ER-PM) junctions mediate Ca2+ flux across neuronal membranes. The properties of these membrane contact sites are defined by their lipid content, but little attention has been given to glycosphingolipids (GSLs). Here, we show that GM1-ganglioside, an abundant GSL in neuronal membranes, is integral to ER-PM junctions; it interacts with synaptic proteins/receptors and regulates Ca2+ signaling. In a model of the neurodegenerative lysosomal storage disease, GM1-gangliosidosis, pathogenic accumulation of GM1 at ER-PM junctions due to {beta} galactosidase deficiency drastically alters neuronal Ca2+ homeostasis. Mechanistically, we show that GM1 interacts with the phosphorylated NMDAR Ca2 channel, thereby increasing Ca2+ flux, activating ERK signaling, and increasing the number of synaptic spines without increasing synaptic connectivity. Thus, GM1 clustering at ER-PM junctions alters synaptic plasticity and exacerbates the generalized neuronal cell death characteristic of GM1-gangliosidosis. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Exploring the evolution and function of Canoes intrinsically disordered region in linking cell-cell junctions to the cytoskeleton during embryonic morphogenesis

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.03.06.531372v1?rss=1 Authors: Gurley, N., Szymanski, R., Dowen, R. H., Butcher, T. A., Ishiyama, N., Peifer, M. Abstract: One central question for cell and developmental biologists is defining how epithelial cells can change shape and move during embryonic development without tearing tissues apart. This requires robust yet dynamic connections of cells to one another, via the cell-cell adherens junction, and of junctions to the actin and myosin cytoskeleton, which generates force. The last decade revealed that these connections involve a multivalent network of proteins, rather than a simple linear pathway. We focus on Drosophila Canoe, homolog of mammalian Afadin, as a model for defining the underlying mechanisms. Canoe and Afadin are complex, multidomain proteins that share multiple domains with defined and undefined binding partners. Both also share a long carboxy-terminal intrinsically disordered region (IDR), whose function is less well defined. IDRs are found in many proteins assembled into large multiprotein complexes. We have combined bioinformatic analysis and the use of a series of canoe mutants with early stop codons to explore the evolution and function of the IDR. Our bioinformatic analysis reveals that the IDRs of Canoe and Afadin differ dramatically in sequence and sequence properties. When we looked over shorter evolutionary time scales, we identified multiple conserved motifs. Some of these are predicted by AlphaFold to be alpha-helical, and two correspond to known protein interaction sites for alpha-catenin and F-actin. We next identified the lesions in a series of eighteen canoe mutants, which have early stop codons across the entire protein coding sequence. Analysis of their phenotypes are consistent with the idea that the IDR, including its C-terminal conserved motifs, are important for protein function. These data provide the foundation for further analysis of IDR function. Copy rights belong to original authors. Visit the link for more info Podcast created by Paper Player, LLC

G., Alam, Z., Grosshans, J., Wolf, F., Peifer, M. Abstract: During embryonic development dramatic cell shape changes and movements re-shape the embryonic body plan. These require robust but dynamic linkage between the cell-cell adherens junctions and the force-generating actomyosin cytoskeleton. Our view of this linkage has evolved, and we now realize linkage is mediated by a mechanosensitive multiprotein complex assembled via multivalent connections. Here we combine genetic, cell biological and modeling approaches to define the mechanism of action and functions of an important player, Drosophila Polychaetoid, homolog of mammalian ZO-1. Our data reveal that Pyd reinforces cell junctions under elevated tension, and facilitates cell rearrangements. Pyd is important to maintain junctional contractility and in its absence cell rearrangements stall. We next use structured illumination microscopy to define the molecular architecture of cell-cell junctions during these events. The cadherin-catenin complex and Cno both localize to puncta along the junctional membrane, but are differentially enriched in different puncta. Pyd, in contrast, exhibits a distinct localization to strands that extend out from the region occupied by core junction proteins. We then discuss the implications for the protein network at the junction-cytoskeletal interface, suggesting different proteins localize and function in distinct ways but combine to produce robust connections.

Abstract: The endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is physically connected to the cell nucleus via junctions with the nuclear envelope (NE). These ER-NE junctions are essential for supplying the NE with lipids and transmembrane proteins that are synthesized in the ER. Despite the important role of ER-NE junctions, their biogenesis, architecture and maintenance across the cell cycle has remained elusive. In this study, by combining live cell imaging with quantitative three-dimensional electron microscopy, we systematically elucidated the ultrastructure of ER-NE junctions in mammalian cells. We discovered that ER-NE junctions exhibit a constricted hourglass shape that is different from the junctions within the ER. When ER-NE junctions are newly built during NE assembly at mitotic exit, their morphology resembles ER-ER junctions, but they become constricted starting in telophase. Altogether, our findings imply novel mechanisms that remodel ER-NE junctions and have functional implications for the lipid and protein traffic that are crucial for nuclear function.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.22.517545v1?rss=1 Authors: Alberici Delsin, L. E., Plutoni, C., Clouvel, A., Keil, S., Marpeaux, L., Elouassouli, L., Khavari, A., Ehrlicher, A., Emery, G. Abstract: Collective cell migration is important for normal development and tissue homeostasis, but can also promote cancer metastasis. To migrate collectively, cells need to coordinate their protrusion formation, rear retraction, adhesion sites dynamics, as well as forces generation and transmission. Nevertheless, the regulatory mechanisms coordinating these processes remain elusive. Using the A431 carcinoma cell line, we identify the kinase MAP4K4 as a central regulator of collective migration. We show that MAP4K4 inactivation blocks the migration of clusters while its overexpression decreases cluster cohesion. MAP4K4 regulates protrusion and retraction dynamics, remodels the actomyosin cytoskeleton, and controls the stability of both cell-cell and cell substrate adhesion. MAP4K4 promotes focal adhesion disassembly through the phosphorylation of Moesin, an actin and plasma membrane cross-linker, but disassembles adherens junctions through a Moesin-independent mechanism. By analyzing traction and intercellular forces, we found that the stabilization of adhesion sites in MAP4K4 loss of function leads to a tensional disequilibrium throughout the cell cluster, increasing the traction forces exerted onto the substrate and the tension loading at the cell-cell adhesions. Together, our results indicates that MAP4K4 activity is a key regulator of biomechanical forces at adhesion sites, promoting collective migration. Copy rights belong to original authors.

Parallel Activation of Src and Hif1α Increases Localized Glycolytic ATP Generation for Re-assembly of Endothelial Adherens Junctions

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2022.11.11.516184v1?rss=1 Authors: Wang, L., Gajwani, P., Chaturvedi, P., Hong, Z., Ye, Z., Schwarz, G., Pohl-Avila, N., Ray, A.-M., Krantz, S., Toth, P. T., Leckband, D. E., Karginov, A. V., Rehman, J. Abstract: Endothelial adherens junctions (AJs) are critical for the regulation of vascular barrier integrity and undergo dis-assembly during inflammatory injury, thus causing vascular leakiness. AJ re-assembly is thus necessary for restoration of the endothelial barrier following the initial injury. Here we examine the metabolic underpinnings that drive restoration of vascular integrity. In response to inflammatory stimuli, the glycolysis regulatory enzyme PFKFB3 is activated, resulting in a rapid and sustained increase of intracellular glycolytic ATP, especially in the proximity of AJs at the plasma membrane. We engineered a novel chemo-genetic construct (RapT) which allowed for precise temporal control of PFKFB3 recruitment to the plasma membrane. Activation of RapT by rapamycin during the barrier restoration phase increased regional ATP and accelerated AJ re-assembly. Mechanistically, we observed that PFKFB3 is activated through two modes. Src-mediated post-translational phosphorylation rapidly increases PFKFB3 activity. Using another chemo-genetic approach to temporally control Src activity, we found that Src activates PFKFB3 by binding to and phosphorylating it at residues Y175, Y334, and Y363. Tyrosine-phospho-deficient mutants of PFKFB3 at these residues block the glycolytic activation upon inflammatory stimuli. In parallel, elevated reactive oxygen species generated during inflammatory stimulation create pockets of regional hypoxia and allow for increased Hif1-mediated transcription of PFKFB3, leading to sustained glycolytic activation. Moreover, inhibition of PFKFB3 delays AJ reassembly and restoration of vascular integrity both in vitro and in vivo. In conclusion, we show that while inflammatory activation acutely compromises the endothelial barrier, inflammatory signaling also concomitantly generates a metabolic milieu in anticipation of the subsequent re-assembly of AJs and restoration of the vascular barrier.

K., Signature Consortium,, Lebel, M., Doyen, A., Durand, A., Lavoie-Cardinal, F., Audet, M.-C., Menard, C. Abstract: Major depressive disorder (MDD) is the leading cause of disability worldwide. However, 30-50% of patients are unresponsive to commonly prescribed antidepressants, highlighting untapped causal biological mechanisms. Dysfunction in the microbiota-gut-brain axis, the bidirectional communications between the central nervous system and gastrointestinal tract that are modulated by gut microorganisms, has been implicated in MDD pathogenesis. Exposure to chronic stress disrupts blood-brain barrier integrity, still, little is known about intestinal barrier function in these conditions particularly for the small intestine where most food and drug absorption takes place. Thus, here we investigate how chronic social or variable stress, two mouse models of depression, impact the jejunum (JEJ) intestinal barrier in males and females. Mice were subjected to stress paradigms followed by analysis of gene expression profiles of intestinal barrier-related targets, fecal microbial composition, and blood-based markers. Altered microbial populations as well as changes in gene expression of JEJ tight junctions were observed depending on the type and duration of stress, with sex-specific effects. We took advantage of machine learning to characterize in detail morphological tight junction properties identifying a cluster of ruffled junctions in stressed animals. Junctional ruffling is associated with inflammation, so we evaluated if LPS injection recapitulates stress-induced changes in the JEJ and observed profound sex differences. Finally, LPS-binding protein (LBP), a marker of gut barrier leakiness, was associated with stress vulnerability in mice and translational value was confirmed on blood samples from women with MDD. Our results provide evidence that chronic stress disrupts intestinal barrier homeostasis in conjunction with the manifestation of depressive-like behaviors in a sex-specific manner in mice and possibly, human depression.

In the nervous system, a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron (or nerve cell) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target effector cell. Synapses are essential to the transmission of nervous impulses from one neuron to another. 在神經系統中,突觸是允許神經元(或神經細胞)將電或化學信號傳遞到另一個神經元的結構。突觸對於神經衝動從一個神經元到另一個神經元的傳遞至關重要。 ...... In the central nervous system, a synapse is a small gap at the end of a neuron that allows a signal to pass from one neuron to the next. Synapses are found where nerve cells connect with other nerve cells. Synapses are key to the brain's function, especially when it comes to memory. 突觸是大腦功能的關鍵,特別是在記憶方面。 The term synapse was first introduced in 1897 by physiologist Michael Foster in his "Textbook of Physiology" and is derived from the Greek synapsis, meaning "conjunction." ... Neurons have specialized projections called dendrites and axons. Dendrites bring information to the cell body and axons take information away from the cell body. 神經元本身除了有 cell body,還有樹突和軸突。樹突將信息帶到細胞體,軸突將信息帶離細胞體。

Glycolysis Inhibition Regulates Endothelial Junctions by Perturbing Actin and Focal Adhesions

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2020.10.22.351148v1?rss=1 Authors: Leckband, D., Rehman, J., Schwarz, G., Gajwani, P. Abstract: One of the central functions of the endothelium is to maintain a vascular barrier that prevents fluid leakiness and immune cell influx from the circulating blood into the tissue. The barrier integrity of the endothelium is largely controlled by adherens junctions (AJs) and the key AJ molecule VE-cadherin, which maintains cell cohesion via homotypic trans-interaction with VE-cadherin molecules on neighboring endothelial cells. Tension is required to maintain junction homeostasis, but little is known about the role of endothelial metabolism and bioenergetics in regulating junctional forces. Because glycolysis is the main source of ATP generation in endothelial cells, we examined the bioenergetic control of the mechanics of VE-cadherin junctions, by focusing on the glycolysis regulatory enzyme 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3). Results from traction force imbalance measurements and a VE-cadherin tension sensor revealed that inhibiting PFKFB3 significantly reduced the average junctional tension and the force on VE-cadherin complexes. The decrease in tension was largely due to mechanical changes distal from the cell-cell contacts. Specifically, inhibiting glycolysis perturbs focal adhesions and disrupts actin organization, directly impacting the net force on intercellular contacts. These findings identify a critical role of cellular metabolism for the mechanics and integrity of vascular endothelial junctions, by maintaining global cell mechanics.

J., Schiavo, G., Secrier, M., Fratta, P., Sleigh, J. N., Sudre, C. H., Fisher, E. M. C. Abstract: The neuromuscular junction (NMJ) is the peripheral synapse formed between a motor neuron axon terminal and a muscle fibre. NMJs are thought to be the primary site of peripheral pathology in many neuromuscular diseases, but innervation/denervation status is often assessed qualitatively with poor systematic criteria across studies, and separately from 3D morphological structure. Here, we describe the development of NMJ-Analyser, to comprehensively screen the morphology of NMJs and their corresponding innervation status automatically. NMJ-Analyser generates 29 biologically relevant features to quantitatively define healthy and aberrant neuromuscular synapses and applies machine learning to diagnose NMJ degeneration. We validated this framework in longitudinal analyses of wildtype mice, as well as in four different neuromuscular disease models: three for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and one for peripheral neuropathy. We showed that structural changes at the NMJ initially occur in the nerve terminal of mutant TDP43 and FUS ALS models. Using a machine learning algorithm, healthy and aberrant neuromuscular synapses are identified with 95% accuracy, with 88% sensitivity and 97% specificity. Our results validate NMJ-Analyser as a robust platform for systematic and structural screening of NMJs, and pave the way for transferrable, and cross-comparison and high-throughput studies in neuromuscular diseases.

Eine effektive Regulation der Gewebedurchblutung erfordert eine Koordination der Reaktion einzelner Gefäßzellen bzw. verschiedener Gefäßabschnitte. Der zur Koordination erforderliche interzelluläre Signalaustausch kann zumindest teilweise über Gap Junction-Kanäle erfolgen, die als interzelluläre Verbindungen den Austausch von elektrischen und chemischen Signalstoffen zwischen benachbarten Zellen ermöglichen. Dieser Austausch kann über die Modulation der Permeabilität von Gap Junction-Kanälen reguliert werden. Aus Untersuchungen an Modellzellen (HeLA-Zellen) war bereits bekannt dass NO eine solche Modulatorwirkung ausübt, wenn die Gap Junctions nur Connexin 37 (Cx37) enthalten während kein Effekt von NO auf Gap Junctions zu beobachtet war, wenn Gap Junctions aus Cx43 oder Cx40 gebildet wurden. Da Endothelzellen normalerweise alle drei Connexine exprimieren, sollte in der vorliegenden Arbeit untersucht werden, inwieweit NO in diesen Zellen überhaupt eine nachweisbare Wirkung auf die Gap Junction Permeabilität und damit auf den Signalaustausch entfaltet. Als Modell des Signalaustauschs wurde die Ausbreitung von Calciumwellen jeweils zwischen Endothelzellen oder glatten Muskelzellen allein oder zwischen beiden Zelltypen untersucht. Nach Auslösung von interzellulären Calciumwellen als Folge einer mechanischen Stimulation von einzelnen Zellen konnte zunächst gezeigt werden, dass die interzelluläre Ausbreitung von Calcium unter den gewählten Versuchsbedingungen über Gap Junctions-erfolgte. Im Gegensatz zum Modellsystem der HeLa Zellen, in denen nur Cx37 exprimiert war, zeigte NO in den Endothelzellen (humane Nabelschnur, alle drei Connexine exprimiert) abgesehen von einer geringradigen Verzögerung keinen Hemmeffekt auf die Gap Junction-abhängige Ausbreitung von Calcium-Signalen. Wurde jedoch Cx43 durch Behandlung mit siRNA herunterreguliert, führte NO auch in den Endothelzellen zu einer Hemmung der interzellulären Calciumwellenausbreitung. Auch in intakten Endothelzellen, die mit glatten Muskelzellen kokultiviert wurden, ließ sich bei genauerer Analyse ein Hemmeffekt von NO nachweisen. Dieser war jedoch auf die Zellbereiche beschränkt, in denen Endothelzellen und glatte Muskelzellen unmittelbar benachbart waren (myoendotheliale Junctions). In diesen myoendo-thelialen Gap Junctions, fanden wir auf der Endothelseite immunhistochemisch überwiegend Cx37 exprimiert. Aufgrund dieser präferentiellen Lokalisation von Cx37 scheint daher NO eine besondere Rolle bei der Modulation des Calciumaustauschs (und potentiell auch anderer Signalmoleküle wie IP3 oder cyclische Nukleotide) zu spielen. Die Kontrolle des Calciumaustauschs könnte funktionell eine calciumabhängige glattmuskuläre Kontraktion bei Endothelstimulation verhindern und somit die endothelabhängige Dilatation verstärken. Diese bisher unbekannte NO-Wirkung auf Cx37-exprimierende Gap Junctions könnte einen weiteren Mechanismus der Gefäßtonusregulation darstellen.

Welcome to UKADI, the only website you need with all the information, advice, tips and videos to help you pass the driving test at your next attempt.As a driving instructor with over 10 years experience helping thousands of learner drivers get the highly coveted DSA pass certificate, I know what it takes to please the DSA examiners, and my goal is through this online instructional blog to give you free the resources needed to reach the standard expected of every test candidate.A word of caution, passing the UK driving test is not easy, and you as a learner driver will increase your chances of passing first time by putting in the hard work and effort (this does not mean just taking driving lessons only), as many very good drivers with competent car handling skills have failed the test due to simple things that can only be blamed on either a lack of knowledge of the UK driving examiner requirements or over-confidence not giving the DSA practical test the due credit it deserves as one of the toughest learner assessments in the world.The UK Driving TestTo get a full UK driving licence that enables you to drive a car in the UK unsupervised (manual or automatic transmission), you need to pass 2 tests (1 computer based theory and a practical vehicle motorcycle, car, HGV/LGV assessment).If you have not already done so, you should apply for your provisional driving licence, and while you are waiting for it to arrive, I suggest you get copy of the official DSA learner guide shown below and start preparing for your theory test right away (it is never too early to start preparing). The guide also contains information about the practical driving test as well, and since it is made by the people who actually conduct the assessment, it is all you need!Most people pass the theory test first time especially if they take the time to go through the official dsa study guides like the one mentioned above, but if you don't just study some more, practise the hazard perception videos and you should be fine. Note that the test is available to take in other languages, see the DSA website for an up to date list.Once you have taken and passed the theory test, you have 2 years to take and pass the practical assessment or your theory test pass certificate will expire and you will have to go through the process again, including paying another booking fee.Preparing and taking the Practical Driving TestI have already mentioned that passing the UK driving test is not easy, to illustrate this, of the 1.7m tests conducted in the 2011/2012 financial year only 47% passed, that means over 900,000 people failed! (source DSA Press Release), so it is important that you are fully prepared (practically and knowledge wise) if you do not want to be one of those failure statistics.How to Prepare for the UK practical driving test?PRIVATE TUITION (Learning with Friends/Family)PROFESSIONAL Driving Lessons with DSA approved InstructorPrivate TuitionCurrently in the UK there are no requirements that stops people from taking the driving test even if they have not used a DSA qualified instructor to learn, nor do you have to bring a dual controlled instructor's vehicle to the test centre, so this is a common option used by many, but having spoken to a few examiners in my local centres a high percentage of these candidates fail for a few reasons.1. Lack of knowledge: Friends/family rarely have all the complete knowledge to adequately prepare a provisional licenced learner driver for the dsa driving test. To supervise a learner you need to have at least held a full licence for 3 years. Within that time, changes could have been made which an ordinary driver might not know about. Another thing to consider is that most drivers would have forgotten some of the things that they were taught by their instructor that made them pass, so they can't pass skills that they do not have or remember.2. Bad Habits: Friends/Family teaching you to drive will always pass on or not notice some unsafe bad driving habits that you have which will in turn increase your chances of not passing the driving test.3. Inadequate Preparation: Most candidates learning to drive with friends/family will think they are ready for the practical car test once they have learnt the 4 dsa driving maneuvers, can drive from A-B and feel confident. DSA driving tests are designed to assess a candidate's ability not only to drive a car from A-B, but they will take you on different road types, traffic conditions, junctions, meeting situation and in all this the examiner wants to see you being SAFE.Driving test routes can be tricky and sometimes having local knowledge might be beneficial especially when your teacher knows exactly how the DSA examiner expects things to be done. Have you practised driving on a 70mph dual carriageway including moving into the right hand lane to turn right at traffic lights or a roundabout?The DSA recommends 40 hrs of professional lessons with additional private practice to gain enough experience and confidence to pass the driving test first time.So what advice can I give for those who would like to learn to drive with family or friends due to high cost of driving lessons.1. Know what is required. It is very easy to pass a test when you know what you will be tested on, as you can prepare adequately by focusing on the core skills. For those learning to drive with friends I recommend you get a copy of the Official DSA Guide to Driving. This book tells you how the DSA want you to drive or perfom a maneuver, and is a required reference to know that what you are being taught is wrong or right.Many learner drivers will trust their dads when it comes to driving, but they can be wrong, and you can use this book to stay on track or request to do things differently as at the end of the day the DSA examiner is using these standards, so if you want to pass do things the DSA way. A common reason a lot of learners fail is not knowing the highway code, so this book covers all situations and rules that pertain to driving in the UK.2. Take a few professional lessons or mock test. Only a qualified approved driving instructor can truly tell if you have reached the standard required by an examiner, so taking a mock test with them will reveal how ready you are, what bad habits you exibit and you would have a chance of driving on a typical dsa test route.The best way to find a good driving instructor is to go by recommendation from a friend who has used one, failing that you can use the DSA website to find an instructor.When speaking to an instructor, take note if they answer the phone while on a driving lesson (giving directions/instructions), as this is already a bad sign that they are not professional.More reading for learners using private tuition to learn to driveTop 10 Driving Test FaultsAre You Ready for The Driving Test (video)Expensive Driving Lesson with Dad!Professional Driving LessonsThe most common question a driving instructor gets asked is how many lessons will I need to be ready for a driving test? There is no simple answer to that question, there are a lot of factors that determine this, including choosing the right instructor. However here is some advice to help you get the best out of your lessons and increase the chances of you passing first time.1. Get a copy of the learners record. Even though your instructor will be guiding you in your preparations, the learners driver record will serve as tracker on your progress against the skills being measure by the DSA.2. Make good use of your time between driving lessons. If you are really serious about passing the driving test first time, then you need to make use of your free time to continue to learn about what the DSA examiners expect during the test. You can watch videos about the manuevers you are having problems with, memorise reference points, and most importantly of all know the highway code inside out!Any one who has taken driving lessons with me or read this free online blog would know that I am constantly recommending the highway code for test candidates for one simple reason, you need to fully know the rules of the road, including signs and road markings.Yes as a driving instructor I will tell you anything you need to know, but knowing the highway code inside out is not only beneficial to you on the driving test, but once you pass, you are less likely to be banned for having 6 points on licence after passing test or get a parking ticket for parking in the wrong place.As I mentioned at the beginning of the article, those who put in extra work are more likely to pass at the first attempt compared to those who barely take enough lessons, hardly know enough signs, only been on a high speed dual carriageway twice and are hoping they do not get the reverse round the corner exercise as they are rubbish at it.Why Do People Fail The UK Driving Test?Not everyone who fails the driving test is totally unprepared, sometimes test nerves can play a part, while others arrive too late, but for those who do take the test, here are the top 5 reasons and the serious driver errors marked by the DSA examiner.JunctionsThe most common place learner drivers commit a serious major driving fault is at junctions where the fault is usually that of ineffective observations.Many driving test candidates approach junctions too fast, leaving themselves not enough time to use the MSPSL Routine. If you can't see that it is 100% safe to go at the junction, you SHOULD wait. The examiner does not expect you to be as fast as experienced drivers, neither can you take some of the risks that they do on the test.ManeuversWhenever carrying out any of the 4 reversing maneuvers, there are 2 skills that the examiner expects from you, effective observations to keep you safe and good car control to enable you carry out the exercise itself.You should not hit the kerb, be too wide when reversing round a corner, straddle 2 bays at the end of the bay parking exercise and must parallel park within 2 car lenghts.Mirror ChecksFailing to check mirrors before changing speed (slowing down or accelerating), changing direction or not acting on the information seen in the mirrors. Do not get into the habit of just moving your head when signalling, you MUST process the image in the mirrors and act on what you see. Remember you driving must not affect or potentially impact other road users.Moving Off SafelyWhile stalling the car is not usually a serious driving error, if you try to pull off in 3rd gear, and stall your vehicle half-way into a junction where you are an obstruction to others, then you have no chance of the examiner not marking a major serious fault.The other usual reason candidates fail moving off is not checking the right blind spot after stopping on the left handside of the road or causing another car to slow down/change direction as you move into the road.Use of Signals/IndicatorsThe common errors here, are not signalling when necessary, poor timing of signals, misleading signals and finally forgetting to cancel a signal after coming off a junction.More Resources and Tips to Help Pass The UK Driving TestDealing with Mini Roundabouts.Points on Licence and Driving Test.Simple Driving Test Mistakes That Fail LearnersDSA Examiner Driving Test RoutesAs an instructor over the years I have seen some very good drivers get tripped up at some tricky places on some of the routes by examiners in the NW London area, so I have made these tutorial videos to cover these situations.Each video covers what I have found out to the toughest route, and has additional tips on other places or things that you should be aware as a driving test candidate.

For this very reason you SHOULD take a few lessons from a qualified instructor to weed out the bad habits, as well as know what the examiners expect. Many candidates with international driving permits who pass the theory test first attempt go on to take a practical assessment thinking that the DSA examiner just wants to see if they can confidently drive from A to B.It is more than just that, which is why they are surprised when the bad news is delivered at the end of the 40 minute assessment.A 1hr driving lesson can not get rid of driving habits! I have seen so many drivers try this thinking they are smart by asking for one session on the dsa examiner routes, and while I will give them ALL the help I can, habits don't die that easily. Usually they start off fine, but 20 minutes in, they relax (especially once they start talking with the examiner) and they the normal habits show up (driving with one hand, no mirror checks, harsh braking, excessive speed).If you are serious about passing, you should consider taking a 2 hr session at least a week before the test so you know what is expected, and can then practise (if you have an insured car with international permit) or take a few more lessons to iron the bad driving out.Thinking about becoming an instructor?

JuncTions (2012) - for piano (2 players) and live-electronics

juncTions was inspired by the Toronto-based keyboard collective junctQín. In 2009, junctQín asked me to write a piece for three pianists performing on one piano. Their request triggered several interesting questions for me: What can be achieved on a piano if one person plays the instrument in a traditional way (pressing the keys and pedals) while a second one is playing the inside (with an e-bow and a tone bar, tools more commonly used by guitar players) and a third musician is operating a computer program that creates an immersive maelstrom of sounds by processing the sonorities of the two piano players? The inside and outside sound worlds of the piano confront and connect with each other. For example, connections are intentionally achieved when one player creates a glissando by sliding a piece of metal along the very strings which are excited, hit by the hammers the second player has activated. At first glance the score may look pretty sparse. However, those delicate sound processes that are created by the two players at the piano are fed into a computer program which densely superimposes them and projects them into the space. In this piece, the piano is used as a versatile sound device with a flexible resonator. All the harmonic relationships of the notes are based on four odd-numbered overtone series (starting with the low A key) which are collapsing into the middle B of the piano. This tone acts like a secret harmonic thread, often emphasized by an E-Bow which can infinitely sustain sound, contradicting the expected decay of a piano note. In juncTions, a type of hyper-instrument is created from a common piano, freed from its inherent historical connotations; no longer referencing the piano music between Mozart and Stockhausen ... The only thing that matters now is the expansion of its sound into the space. Info: http://www.essl.at/works/junctions.html

Die Rolle des Proteins Fcj1 und der Untereinheiten Su e/Su g der F1FO-ATP-Synthase bei der Entstehung von Cristae und Crista Junctions in Mitochondrien

The crista junction is a tubular element of the mitochondrial inner membrane connecting inner boundary membrane and cristae membrane. The molecular basis of its formation was so far largely unknown. The lack of the mitochondrial inner membrane protein mitofilin results in the absence of crista junctions in HeLa-cells. Moreover, deletion of Fcj1, the orthologue of mitofilin in S. cerevisiae, leads to concentric stacks of cristae membranes and the virtual absence of crista junctions. The aim of the present work was to investigate the function of Fcj1 as well as the molecular basis of the formation of cristae and crista junctions in S. cerevisiae. Fcj1 undergoes homotypic interactions and is part of a stable oligomeric protein complex. Using immuno-EM, Fcj1 has been shown to be specifically enriched at crista junctions. All other proteins, which have been studied so far, such as subunits Su e and Su g of the F1FO-ATP-Synthase, are rather underrepresented in this region. Overexpression of Fcj1 increases the number of crista junctions, enlarges the crista junction diameter and leads to internal branching of cristae. Upon downregulation of Fcj1, the mitochondrial ultrastructure progressively changes reflecting the deletion phenotype more and more. Considering the fact that the decrease of the number of crista junctions occurs at an early time point, Fcj1 seems directly involved in the formation of crista junctions. In order to investigate if cristae form a detached compartment in the absence of crista junctions, the accessibility of the intracristal space for the protein-modifying substance AMS was examined. In fcj1 mitochondria the modification of cytochrome c was temporally delayed and incomplete in comparison to wild-type. Hence, metabolite exchange between intracristal space and cristae space seems impaired though not entirely impossible in the absence of crista junctions. This might be due to some extent of fusion and fission tracing back to protein or lipid exchange within the inner membrane of mitochondria. Cryo-EM tomograms revealed regular zipper-like arrangements of F1FO-ATP-Synthase particles. An inverse correlation of the amount of Fcj1 and the oligomeric state of F1FO-ATP-Synthase was observed upon biochemical analysis: in fcj1 mitochondria, F1FO-ATP-Synthase oligomers have a higher molecular weight and are more stable than in wild-type mitochondria, whereas in mitochondria of cells overexpressing Fcj1 they are smaller and less stable. Subunits Su e and Su g are essential for the stabilization of dimers and oligomers of the F1FO-ATP-Synthase. As the influence of Su e/Su g on the formation of crista junctions has not been investigated so far, the mitochondrial ultrastructure of both deletion strains was analyzed concerning this matter. Enlargement of crista junctions and internal branching of cristae similar to the overexpression phenotype of Fcj1 have been observed in both strains. Furthermore, crista tips are virtually absent. Apart from this functional interaction, Fcj1 and Su e/Su g have also been shown to interact genetically. Based on the gained insights on the roles of Fcj1 and Su e/Su g in cristae formation the following model is proposed: the modulation of the inner membrane of mitochondria is based on an antagonistic behavior of Fcj1 and Su e/Su g. Fcj1 introduces negative membrane curvatures, possibly by impairing the oligomerisation of the F1FO-ATP-Synthase. The presence of Su e/Su g, in contrast, promotes positive curvatures of cristae membranes by stabilizing dimers and oligomers of the F1FO-ATP-Synthase. Taken together, relative amounts of Fcj1 and Su e/Su g locally modulate the oligomeric state of the F1FO-ATP-Synthase and thereby enable the formation of crista junctions and crista tips in mitochondria.

We talk more about holes today. They don't really exist, you know! But when only a few electrons are missing from the valence band, it's so much more convenient to describe only the missing states that the fictional particles we call "holes" are a very useful concept. We talk more about their mass, velocity, momentum, and other properties. Then we discuss the p-n junction, where a semiconductor surface is donor-doped on, say, the right, and acceptor-doped on, say, the left. We calculate the strength of the permanent electric field that happens at the interface. This permanent electric field produces a real live voltage in the material.
