*** The importance of physical activity(PA)for health is unequivocal.^(1)Accordingly,population-based recommendations for exercise,and more recently public health guidelines for PA,have been developed and released by authoritative groups for many decades.^(2)Such guidelines emerged with leadership from the exercise physiology discipline and were rooted in,and loyal to,the importance of moderate-to-vigorous intensity PA(MVPA)or exercise.

By enabling the probing of light-matter interactions at the functionally relevant length scales of most materials, near-field optical imaging and spectroscopy accesses information that is unobtainable with other methods. The advent of apertureless techniques, which exploit the ultralocalized and enhanced near-fields created by sharp metallic tips or plasmonic nanoparticles, has resulted in rapid adoption of near-field approaches for studying novel materials and phenomena, with spatial resolution approaching sub-molecular levels. However, these approaches are generally limited by the dominant out-of-plane polarization response of apertureless tips, restricting the exploration and discovery of many material properties. This has led to recent design and fabrication breakthroughs in near-field tips engineered specifically for enhancing in-plane interactions with near-field light components. This mini-review provides a perspective on recent progress and emerging directions aimed at utilizing and controlling in-plane optical polarization, highlighting key application spaces where in-plane near-field tip responses have enabled recent advancements in the understanding and development of new nanostructured materials and devices.

This paper examines the use of 3D electronic medium as a tool for procuring detailed design information for the Sandridge Bridge Travellers proj.ct. The Sandridge Bridge Travellers proj.ct required the production of 10 7.5 m of tall × 5 ― 12 m of wide figures under very tight programme and budget constraints. This was achieved through a synthesis of art and engineering, whereby structure and sculpture become one and the same. Traditional procurement routes would have entailed the production and interpretation of drawings and design details at all discipline interfaces before fabrication; an approach that was unfeasible given the constraints. Instead, The Travellers proj.ct saw a single electronic file pass backwards and forwards from client to architect, engineer, and fabricator, with information from the initial artistic concept work phases through to analysis, design, member scheduling and fabrication all integrated and facilitated by a single electronic medium. Key to the delivery was the use of 3D modeling and scripting programs that enabled the efficient use and development of design information through all stages of the design process. This enabled total integration of all trades requiring a collaborative approach where each party maintained j.int ownership of the 3D design information from inception to conception.

Cellular homeostasis relies on components of protein quality control including chaperones and proteases. In bacteria and eukaryotic organelles, Lon proteases play a critical role in removing irreparably damaged proteins and thereby preventing the accumulation of deleterious degradation-resistant aggregates. Gene expression, live-cell imaging, immunobiochemical, and functional complementation approaches provide conclusive evidence for Lonl dual-targeting to chloroplasts and mitochondria. Dual-organellar deposition of Lonl isoforms depends on both transcriptional regula- tion and alternative translation initiation via leaky ribosome scanning from the first AUG sequence context that deviates extensively from the optimum Kozak consensus. Organelle-specific Lonl targeting results in partial complementation of Arabidopsis Ion1-1 mutants, whereas full complementation is solely accomplished by dual-organellar targeting. Both the optimal and non-optimal AUG sequence contexts are functional in yeast and facilitate leaky ribosome scanning com- plementing the piml phenotype when the mitochondrial presequence is used. Bioinformatic search identified a limited number of Arabidopsis genes with Lonl-type dual-targeting sequence organization. Lon4, the paralog of Lonl, has an ambiguous presequence likely evolved from the twin presequences of an ancestral Lonl-like gene, generating a single dual-targeted protein isoform. We postulate that Lonl and its subfunctional paralog Lon4 evolved complementary sub- sets of transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulatory components responsive to environmental cues for dual-organel- lar targeting.
