We next evaluated whether synergistic interactions between FN and BMP-2 when immobilized on PEA modulate MSC osteogenesis. We have noted that Smads and ERK 1/2 act to regulate RUNX2, and Fig. 2D shows enhanced active phospho-RUNX2 (pRUNX2) expression in MSCs cultured on the synergistically presented BMP-2 environments compared to cultures using P5F3 or soluble BMP-2. These differences in pRUNX2 may result in downstream effects on the expression of osteogenic proteins regulated by RUNX2 (38). qPCR results for osteogenic markers and the corresponding immunofluorescence images were measured after 14 days of MSC culture to capture early stages of cell differentiation. Figure 2 shows that synergistic integrin/BMP-2 presentation driven by PEA led to significantly higher osteocalcin and osteonectin expression at the transcription and protein levels (Fig. 2, F and G). This system was significantly more effective than soluble administration of the GF (BMP-2 medium; Fig. 2F). Also, when the same experiments were done using PMA, where FN was adsorbed in a globular conformation, the level of cell differentiation was low and insensitive to the route used to present the GF (Fig. 2F). These results indicate that the presentation of BMP-2 in synergy with the adhesion sites on FN on PEA is more effective at triggering MSC osteoblastic differentiation compared to both the same concentration of the GF on PMA and the soluble administration of the GF. Figure 2H shows that bone-related ALP activity was higher when BMP-2 was presented bound on FN on PEA compared to the soluble administration. Figure 2H further demonstrates that blocking of BMP-2 with noggin reduced PEA-driven FN/BMP-2 osteogenic differentiation, further implicating BMP-2 signaling.

OUTLOOK ’17: US HCl gains hope with drilling rise For the US hydrochloric acid (HCl) market, there is one thing that most participants agree on: 2017 is likely to be better than 2016. Or 2015. For the first time in two years, producers and sellers were able to get a price increase implemented in late 2016 when drilling activity began to recover after bottoming out in May.

The New York Times: Deputies Made Jokes About A Veteran Thrashing In His Cell Before He Died Two years ago, a man died of an apparent drug overdose after being held at the Clackamas County Jail in Oregon City, Ore. This week, video emerged in which sheriff’s deputies could be heard laughing as the man thrashed uncontrollably in a padded cell before he died. They joked that he could be used as a cautionary example to warn students about the dangers of drugs. (Fortin, 10/6)

Acrylic acid & esters is the general term for acrylic acid (AA) and acrylic esters (AE). In 2007-2011, global capacity of both crude acrylic acid (CAA) and common acrylic esters (CAE), inclusive of methyl acrylate (MA), ethyl acrylate (EA), butyl acrylate (BA) ethyl hexyl acrylate (EHA),etc., presented an upward trend, with compound growth rates of 2.03% and 3.39%, respectively. As of end-2011, global capacity of CAA and CAE reached 5.32 mln tpa and 4.776 mln tpa, mainly distributed in the United States, Europe, Japan and China, which accounted for a total of 88.42% and 81.4%, respectively. In 2011, the global acrylic acid consumption amounted to 5.21 mln tons, of which, that used for producing super absorbent polymer (SAP), paints & coatings, adhesives occupied 63%. The acrylic acid & esters industry characterizes a relatively high concentration. In 2011, CAA and CAE capacity of the world’s top ten producers, i.e. BASF SE, Dow Chemical Company, Arkema, Nippon Shokubai, Jiangsu Jurong Chemical Co., Ltd., Formosa Plastics Corporation, Shanghai Huayi Acrylic Acid Co., Ltd., LG Chem, Zhejiang Satellite Petro Chemical Co. Ltd. and Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation held a global share of 91.4% and 84.8%, separately, of which, Jiangsu Jurong Chemical (foreign-controlled), Shanghai Huayi Acrylic Acid and Zhejiang Satellite Petro Chemical are located in the territory of China. Also in 2011, Jiangsu Jurong Chemical, relying on the production capacity of 365,000 tpa CAA and 350,000 tpa CAE, ranked first among Chinese acrylic acid & esters manufacturers, followed by Shanghai Huayi Acrylic Acid. In China, the acrylic acid & esters industry has seen rapid development in recent years, with basic self-sufficiency, but accompanied by fierce competition among manufacturers. From 2007 to 2011, CAA production rose from 697,000 tons to 1.165 million tons, with a CAGR of 13.7%; CAE production climbed from 732,000 tons to 1.163 mln tons, with a CAGR of 12.3%. Furthermore, major producers have been continuously expanding their capacity. BASF, the world’s largest acrylic acid & esters manufacturer, has reached the level of 160,000 tpa CAA and 155,000 tpa CAE via the joint venture construction of BASF-YPC Company Limited with Sinopec Group. In January 2012, BASF announced the establishment of a new set of 190,000 tpa fine acrylic acid device in the Nanjing Chemical Industry Park, so as to further increase its market share in China.

Now then, you asked another question, which is where do we expect to see the growth here in these coming years? We expect to see it being driven in access networks, especially with an accent on wireless densification. And then we do expect to see our hyperscale data center business to continue to grow strongly, and there’s now this new concept of sort of more edge computes, and more edge cloud, with that also opening up some opportunities for us. So, sorry for the long answer, Steven. Does that get at the core of what you’re talking about?

Firstly, the summer and autumn to date has seen unseasonably hot weather conditions in the UK, Continental Europe and on the East Coast of the USA. Critically, these conditions have continued through into September and the first half of October and have significantly affected demand for autumn/winter product, particularly sweats and jackets, which account for around 45% of Superdry’s annual sales. The effect of the weather conditions experienced in the first half of the financial year, when combined with the well-publicised challenges facing some of Superdry’s trading partners, is expected to adversely impact profits for financial year 2019 by around £10m.
