The budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae serves as an effective model organism for many cellular pathways including phosphate transport, accumulation, and storage. In S. cerevisiae, phosphate is actively transported across the plasma membrane via several phosphate carriers and is then transported into the acidic vacuole (roughly equivalent to the mammalian lysosome with degradative functions but with additional storage functions, such as calcium) where it is synthesized into volutin, a storage form of polyphosphate, found in many organisms. We have been studying volutin granule formation in wild type cells to determine the physiological requirements for formation and in mutants to determine the pathway by which the volutin biosynthetic proteins are transported to the vacuole. Undertaking an analysis of volutin formation in yeast vacuoles by blocking vacuole function with pharmacological agents, such as ionomycin and CCCP, we see that vacuole pH as well as vacuolar calcium seems critical for volutin formation. Different blocks in vacuolar protein sorting have differential effects on volutin granule accumulation, with volutin granule formation seen in all mutant strains thus far tested, except for vps33, a mutant cell strain lacking all vacuolar structure. Our data are consistent with pleiotrophic effects of vacuolar physiological function blocks leading to a decrease in volutin formation.

Does Immigration Promote the Investment of the Monopolistic Firm?

In the present paper, we examine the effect of increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth on the optimal timing of investment of a firm that has a monopolistic power over the labor market. It is revealed that when the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is more than a threshold level, increasing uncertainty of immigrants’ growth accelerates the optimal timing of firms’ investment and enhances the economic growth, even if the uncertainty of immigrants’ growth is formulated by the geometric Brownian motion, which is in sharp contrast to the standard result that an increase in the uncertainty postpones the optimal timing. With an increase in the immigrants over the past ten years, workforces in the host countries have been growing significantly to the extent that the immigrants represent 70% of the increase in the workforce in Europe, and 47% in the United States as OECD indicates. In the present paper, we attempted to investigate the effect of increased uncertainty caused by the growi...

Education Policy Implementation: A Mechanism for Enhancing Primary Education Development in Zanzibar

Education is one of the fundamental rights of individuals; therefore, the government of a country needs to develop and strengthen educational policy and quality as well as to ensure that everyone has equal access to basic education. The improvement of access and quality of education in the world is becoming as an essential factor in development, whereas the basic education (primary school), is acknowledged as a foundation of the higher educational development for every country. To fulfill this goal, governments introduce several policies and procedures; however, it requires some reforms and participation from the politician, policymakers, and other stakeholders to re-examine educational policy so that it can lead to multiplication and betterment of the reforms. Educational reforms actually focus on accountability. A positive educational development and reform is very challenging and needs more effort and strategy on how to use and utilize the resources effectively as such it can achie...
