Contentious Territorial Alliances: Coalition Politics and Struggles over Urban Development in Pikine, Senegal by Nicole C. List

“…Drawing from ethnographic fieldwork in Pikine, a rapidly urbanizing city in Senegal’s Dakar Region, this article examines how Dakar's political geography is being transformed by the configuration of multiple, overlapping territorial strategies for the development of urban farmland in one of the region’s few remaining pockets of green spaces. Through analysis of two spatially distinct –albeit interlinked– episodes of conflict over the development of middle-class and elite housing projects on Pikine farmland, I argue that various public and private actors –including farmers, traditional authorities, housing developers, and local/central government officials– are breaking with older forms of urban governance and forming what I call “territorial alliances” to stake land claims and advance urban development projects. …”

Analysis on the Independent Innovation Path and Development Trend of Emerging Marine Industry Based on DEA Model by Yufeng Liu

“…Select the added value of the emerging marine industry as the dependent variable; R&D personnel and R&D funds as the intermediary variables; innovation efficiency as the explanatory variable; and technical capabilities, technical management capabilities, technical strategies, and network capabilities as control variables, using data packets. The network analysis method establishes a development trend measurement model and analyzes the independent innovation path and development trend of the emerging marine industry through the established model. …”

Routing in IPv6 over Low-Power Wireless Personal Area Networks (6LoWPAN): A Survey by Vinay Kumar, Sudarshan Tiwari

“…To moderate the effects of network mobility, the Internet Protocol (IP) does not calculate routes; it is left to a routing protocol, which maintains routing tables in the routers. 6LowPAN uses an adaptation layer between the network (IPv6) and data link layer (IEEE802.15.4 MAC) to fragment and reassemble IPv6 packets. The routing in 6LoWPAN is primarily divided on the basis of routing decision taken on adaptation or network layer. …”

The Architect, the Planner and the Bishop: the Shapers of ‘Ordinary’ Dublin, 1940–60 by Ellen Rowley

“…From the 1930s through the 1960s, Dublin’s development occurred at its periphery: wheels of narrow roadways punctuated by green spaces provided the low-density frameworks for terraced residential boxes surmounted by pitched roofs and fronted by pocket gardens. Vast structures of ecclesiastic authority, Catholic (determinedly revivalist) church building and the suite of Catholic (tentatively modernist) schools were presented as support structures for mass housing, thereby completing the image and experience of Dublin’s new mid-twentieth-century suburbs. …”

Interaction mechanism of egg white- derived ACE inhibitory peptide TNGIIR with ACE and its effect on the expression of ACE and AT1 receptor by Zhipeng Yu, Hui Guo, David Shiuan, Chensi Xia, Wenzhu Zhao, Long Ding, Fuping Zheng, Jingbo Liu

“…In this work, molecular docking revealed that TNGIIR established hydrogen bonds with the S1 (Ala 354), S2 (Gln 281, His 513, Tyr 520 and Lys 511) and S1′ (Glu 162) pockets of ACE. In addition, the potential antihypertensive effect of the oral administration of TNGIIR in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR) was investigated, as was the effect of this peptide on the mRNA expression of ACE and angiotensin type 1 (AT1) and type 2 (AT2) receptors in renal tissue. …”
