Abstract

The periodic rise in seawater temperature is one of the main environmental determinants of coral bleaching. However, the direct incidence of these episodic thermal anomalies on coral-associated microbiota and their subsequent effects on coral health are still not completely understood. In this study, we investigated the dynamics of three main microbial communities of the coral holobiont (e.g., Symbiodinium, bacteria and viruses), during an experimental thermal stress (+4 °C) conducted on the scleractinian Fungia repanda. The heat-treatment induced coral bleaching after 11 days and resulted in a final elevation of ca. 9, 130 and 250-fold in the abundance of mucosal viruses, bacteria, and Symbiodinium, respectively. On the contrary, the proportion of actively respiring bacterial cells declined by 95% in heat-stressed corals. The community composition of epibiotic bacteria in healthy corals also greatly differed from bleached ones, which also exhibited much higher production rates of viral epibionts. Overall, our results suggest that the shift in temperature induced a series of microbial changes, including the expulsion and transfer of Symbiodinium cells from the coral polyps to the mucus, the collapse of the physiological state of the native bacterial associates, a substantial alteration in their community structure, and accompanied by the development of a cortege of highly active virulent phages. Finally, this study provides new insights into the environmentally-driven microbial and viral processes responsible for the dislocation of the coral holobiont.

2. Diffusion in metals Au, Cu, and interstitial alloys AuSi, CuSi

Author

Hoc Nguyen Quang, Hien Nguyen Duc, Hoa Nguyen Thi, Huong Le Lan, and Le Nguyen Ngoc

Abstract

The paper performs numerically the vacancy activation volume, the activation energy, the pre-exponential factor, and the diffusion coefficient for metals Au, Cu, and alloys AuSi, CuSi in the interval of the concentration of interstitial atoms from zero to 4%, in the interval of temperature from 700 to 1873 K, in the interval of pressure from zero to 180 GPa and the interval of strain from zero to 5%. The paper determines the dependence of the diffusion coefficient on pressure and stress for above mentioned metals and alloys. SMM numerical results show that the Arrhenius law is satisfied for metals and interstitial alloys at different pressures and concentrations of interstitial atoms. SMM numerical results for Au at T = 1000 K and T = 1250 K and at zero pressure are in good agreement with experiments for the activation energy (errors are below 10%) and agree in terms of magnitude for the pre-exponential factor and the diffusion coefficient. SMM numerical results of the diffusion coefficient for Au in the interval of temperature from 977 to 1321 K and for Cu in the interval of temperature from 933.95 to 1336.15 K are compared with experiments and other calculations and there are rather good agreement in terms of magnitude. SMM numerical results of the activation volume of Au and Cu agree well with other calculations. SMM numerical results for diffusion quantities of interstitial alloys AuSi, CuSi in different temperatures, pressures, stresses, and concentrations of interstitial atoms anticipate and orient experiments in the future.

Author

Nguyen, Tuyen, Dung, Tran Khanh, Huong, Nguyen Thu, Huong, Le Lan, Nguyen, Tuyen, Dung, Tran Khanh, Huong, Nguyen Thu, and Huong, Le Lan

Abstract

Affordable housing database management has become a social concern that requires urgent actions in the context of rapid urbanization, particularly in urban areas. This discussion paper applies literature review, analysis and consolidation as well as modelling approach to identify outstanding issues in affordable housing management in Vietnam nowadays. Based on such findings, the document proposes a solution to collect and develop the sector database to facilitate future management. It suggests data categories, structure, model and procedures to update, manage and exploit Vietnam’s affordable housing management database. The pilot software of the proposed model was formulated based on the application of web-based system technologies such as Web API, OSM (OpenStreetMap), REST (REpresentational State Transfer), SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol).

7. Symbiodinium spp. diversity in a single host species, Galaxea fascicularis, Vietnam : Impact of environmental factors, host traits, and diversity hot spots

Abstract

We determined the distribution of zooxanthellate ITS2 types within one broadcast spawning coral species, Galaxea fascicularis with horizontal symbiont uptake, in both inshore and offshore reef habitats over a 3200 km range along the coast of Vietnam, covering 11 degrees of latitude. Host traits (mtDNA genotype) and environmental factors (visibility, sea surface temperatures and Chlorophyll a derived from satellite data, regional measures of coral species diversity and distance from land (inshore/offshore)) were measured to test whether symbiont type distribution was determined by host characteristics or by environmental factors. The G. fascicularis and their associated symbionts were not genetically coupled to each other but to environmental factors The host displayed an inshore-offshore zonation, with higher diversity offshore. The D1a symbiont exhibited an inshore- offshore zonation. In contrast; the 5 different C symbiont types showed a latitudinal distribution gradient, which shifted in dominance north to south. We found regional differences in symbiont type; these were related to environmental differences and not to genetic characteristics in the coral G. fascicularis.

Abstract

BACKGROUND: The efficacy and safety of benralizumab, an interleukin-5 receptor alpha-directed cytolytic monoclonal antibody, for the prevention of exacerbations in patients with moderate to very severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) are not known.METHODS: In the GALATHEA and TERRANOVA trials, we enrolled patients with COPD (at a ratio of approximately 2:1 on the basis of eosinophil count [≥220 per cubic millimeter vs. RESULTS: In GALATHEA, the estimates of the annualized exacerbation rate were 1.19 per year (95% confidence interval [CI], 1.04 to 1.36) in the 30-mg benralizumab group, 1.03 per year (95% CI, 0.90 to 1.19) in the 100-mg benralizumab group, and 1.24 per year (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.42) in the placebo group; the rate ratio as compared with placebo was 0.96 for 30 mg of benralizumab (P = 0.65) and 0.83 for 100 mg of benralizumab (P = 0.05). In TERRANOVA, the estimates of the annualized exacerbation rate for 10 mg, 30 mg, and 100 mg of benralizumab and for placebo were 0.99 per year (95% CI, 0.87 to 1.13), 1.21 per year (95% CI, 1.08 to 1.37), 1.09 per year (95% CI, 0.96 to 1.23), and 1.17 per year (95% CI, 1.04 to 1.32), respectively; the corresponding rate ratios were 0.85 (P = 0.06), 1.04 (P = 0.66), and 0.93 (P = 0.40). At 56 weeks, none of the annualized COPD exacerbation rate ratios for any dose of benralizumab as compared with placebo reached significance in either trial. Types and frequencies of adverse events were similar with benralizumab and placebo.CONCLUSIONS: Add-on benralizumab was not associated with a lower annualized rate of COPD exacerbations than placebo among patients with moderate to very severe COPD, a history of frequent moderate or severe exacerbations, and blood eosinophil counts of 220 per cubic millimeter or greater (Funded by AstraZeneca [GALATHEA and TERRANOVA] and Kyowa Hakko Kirin [GALATHEA]; GALATHEA and TERRANOVA ClinicalTrials.gov numbers, NCT02138916 and NCT02155660.).
