description: Rising demand on food is leading to an increase in irrigation worldwide to improve productivity. Irrigation, for pastoral agriculture (beef, dairy and sheep), is the largest consumptive use of water in New Zealand. There is a potential risk of leaching of microbial contaminants from faecal matter through the vadose zone into groundwater. Management of irrigation is vital for protection of groundwater from these microbial contaminants and maintain efficient irrigation practices. Our research investigated flood and spray irrigation, two practices common in New Zealand. The aim was to identify the risk of microbial transport and mitigation practices to reduce or eliminate the risk of microbial transport into groundwater. Cowpats were placed on lysimeters over a typical New Zealand soil (Lismore silt loam) and vadose zone and the leachate collected after irrigation events. Samples of both cowpats and leachate were analysed for the microbial indicator Escherichia coli and pathogen Campylobacter species. A key driver to the microbial transport derived from the model applied was the volume of leachate collected: doubling the leachate volume more than doubled the total recovery of E. coli. The persistence of E. coli in the cowpats during the experiment is an important factor as well as the initial environmental conditions, which were more favourable for survival and growth of E. coli during the spray irrigation compared with the flood irrigation. The results also suggest a reservoir of E. coli surviving in the soil. Although the same was potentially true for Campylobacter, little difference in the transport rates between irrigation practices could be seen due to the poor survival of Campylobacter during the experiment. Effective irrigation practices include monitoring the irrigation rates to minimise leachate production, delaying irrigation until 14 days post-cowpat deposition and only irrigating when risk of transport to the groundwater is minimal.
Aim: To compare the risk of microbial contamination of groundwater from cowpats using two irrigation practices onto pasture.

description: Palaeictops spp.
REMARKS: Two designated species from Middle Eocene beds are clearly leptictids, but their validity as separate taxa is dubious. The species are Hypictops syntaphus described by Gazin (1949) from a maxilla with a right P1–M3 (USNM 13445) found north of Lone Tree in the Bridger Basin of Wyoming, and Viverravus? nitidus Marsh (1872), known only from a left dp5 (YPM VP 11888) from Henry’s Fork, also in the Bridger Basin.
The teeth of Hypictops syntaphus are badly worn (Gazin, 1949: fig. 1), but they are comparable in size to upper teeth that would occlude with the lower dentition of the holotype of Palaeictops bridgeri (contra Simpson, 1959). The M2 of “ Hypictops ” is also similar to the M2 from Tabernacle Butte referred here to P. bridgeri.
Matthew (1909: 342) remarked that YPM VP 11888, the type of Viverravus? nitidus Marsh, 1872, was probably a deciduous last lower premolar of a leptictid. McKenna et al. (1962) suggested that this tooth could be a permanent p4 (equals p5 of this paper) of Hypictops syntaphus. Either assessment might be correct. The posterior position of the metaconid in YPM VP 11888 is very similar to the condition of the p 5 in Palaeictops bridgeri. Some differences are apparent, however, and perhaps this is related to differences found between deciduous and permanent teeth of the same taxon.
Thus, there is a strong possibility that Viverravus? nitidus, Hypictops syntaphus, and Palaeictops bridgeri are one and the same taxon. Synonymy would unfortunately establish YPM VP 11888, a single enigmatic tooth, as the type for Palaeictops nitidus, and the only specimen referable to Hypictops is too badly worn to allow positive identification. It seems best to resist the action of synonymy in these cases.

description: Traditional forensic DNA interpretation methods are restricted as they are unable to deal completely with complex low level or mixed DNA profiles. This type of data has become more prevalent as DNA typing technologies become more sensitive. In addition they do not make full use of the information available in peak heights. Existing methods ofinterpretation are often described as binary which describes the fact that the probability of the evidence is assigned as 0 or 1 (hence binary) (see for example [1] at 7.3.3). These methods are being replaced by more advanced interpretation methods such as continuous models. In this paper we describe a series of models that can be used to calculateexpected values for allele and stutter peak heights, and their ratio SR. This model could inform methods which implement a continuous method for the interpretation of DNA profiling data.

description: Re-organization of the actin cytoskeleton accompanies platelet activation and is a prerequisite for the development of platelet contractility. Defective platelet contractility can give rise to bleeding diathesis and increases the likelihood of thrombus embolization. Whether and if so so, how platelet contractility affects aspects of platelet function other than clot retraction is poorly understood. It is also unclear how physical cues of the local microenvironment at vascular injury sites, especially different adhesion proteins and the fibrous topography of the extracellular matrix inform functional responses through integrin-based substrate adhesions. These may contribute to the development of platelet traction forces, adhesion and spreading, but also to granule secretion, pro-coagulant activity, and ECM remodelling and thus, have significance for wound healing beyond haemostasis. By interrogating contractility at multiple stages of thrombus formation using a combination of myosin IIa inhibition, traction force microscopy, super-resolution microscopy, and in vitro assays, our data showed that impaired contractility affects traction force generation, actin bundling, vinculin morphology, GPVI-stimulated platelet aggregation, and single platelet contraction in aggregates formed by GPVI stimulation. Platelet adhesion to vWF under shear, and alpha granule secretion were independent of contractility. This data indicates that contractility contributes to platelet GPVI signalling, but doesn’t affect GPIb-mediated platelet adhesion. Further research is required to identify the downstream effectors involved in contractility-dependent GPVI signalling. Per-resolution microscopy complemented by biophysical methods revealed that adhesion protein identity directed platelet force generation and the dimensionality of formed fibronectin matrix. Platelets adhered to fibronectin developed high traction forces and pulled fibronectin fibrils along their apical membrane, while platelets on laminin developed lower traction forces and pulled fibrils along their basal membrane. Platelets assembled fibronectin nanofibrils using αIIbβ3 rather than α5β1 integrins. Our findings have potential implications for maintenance of mechanical thrombus integrity during remodeling and vascular repair. Using fibrinogen scaffolds of different topographies and quantitative microscopy methods, we observed that platelet interactions in the presence of plasma were greater on nanofibrous fibrinogen scaffolds compared to planar fibrinogen scaffolds. Our data show that nanofibers present a higher locally accessible surface area, effectively increasing the ligand density for integrin-mediated responses, which resulted in robust platelet adhesion and spreading, and alpha granule secretion while minimizing pro-coagulant activity.

Variability of mixed DNA profiles separated on a 3130 and 3500 capillary electrophoresis instrument

description: In this paper, the variability of peak heights for mixed DNA profiles separated on two different models of a capillary electrophoresis instrument is examined. The Applied Biosystems 3500xl instrument produces larger peaks than the 3130xl instrument. If the relative difference in peak heights between the two instruments was a constant factor then all relative heights should be preserved. However, if that factor differed, say, for small versus large peaks then relative heights would change. The effect of peak height and dye on the relative difference in peak height between injections of the same amplicon on a 3500xl and 3130xl instrument for a series of mixed DNA profiles using the Promega PowerPlex 21 multiplex is described. The ratio of peak heights between instrument models resulted in values up to four times higher on the 3500 compared with the 3130. The magnitude of this difference was shown to be dependent on the dye but not on the peak heights themselves. Relative parameters stutter, heterozygote balance, and mixture proportion were very similar between the two instrument models, indicating that the interpretation guidelines developed on one machine are likely to be transportable to different capillary electrophoresis instrument models and different machines of the same model.

description: Selected profiles typed at the Promega PowerPlex 21 (PP21) loci were examined to determine if a linear or exponential model best described the relationship between peak height and molecular weight. There were fewer large departures from observed and expected peak heights using the exponential model. The larger differences that were observed were exclusively at the high molecular weight loci. We conclude that the data supports the use of an exponential curve to model peak heights versus molecular weight in PP21 profiles. We believe this observation will improve our ability to model expected peak heights for use in DNA interpretation software.

description: The forensic analysis of DNA is most often undertaken by the amplification of short tandem repeats (STR) using the polymerase chain reaction (PCR). DNA amplification can result in production of the target allele amplicon and a by-product called stutter. Stutter is the result of the miscopy of the target allele and is typically one repeat smaller. Stutter is traditionally described as a ratio of stutter and allele height; stutter ratio (SR). The challenge to DNA profile interpretation is most serious whenever stutter products are of a similar height to the minor allelic peaks in a mixed DNA profile. An accurate assignment of peaks and the prediction of their height is important when objectively interpreting forensic DNA profiles. The longest uninterrupted stretch (LUS) of tandem repeats within the allele has previously been shown to be a good predictor of stutter ratio. LUS is determined by sequencing a range of observed alleles at a locus. The locus D6S1043 is a relatively new locus to appear in commercial forensic DNA testing kits. To date however, there has been no comprehensive report of sequencing of this locus. In this work, we sequence a sample of D6S1043 alleles to determine LUS values and investigate allele repeat number and LUS as explanatory variables for SR.

description: Forward stutter, or over stutter, one repeat unit length larger than the parent allele (N+1 stutter), is a relatively rare product of the PCR amplification of short tandem repeats used in forensic DNA analysis. We have investigated possible explanatory variables for the occurrence and size of forward stutter for four different autosomal multiplexes. In addition, we have investigated models used to predict the expected heights of forward stutter. For all tetra and penta-nucleotide repeats we can find no correlation between allelic peak height, marker or longest uninterrupted sequence in the allele. The data fit a gamma distribution with no explanatory variables. For the single tri-nucleotide repeat present in two of the four multiplexes (D22S1045) forward stutter is much more common and the best explanatory variable appears to be back stutter height. This suggests some fundamental co-causation of high backward and forward stutter for this locus.

description: This paper empirically explores the effect of domestic debt, as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), on economic growth in the East Africa Community (EAC) over the period 1990-2010. This study was based on the Solow growth model augmented for debt. Levin-Lin-Chu test (LLC) was used to investigate the properties of the data with respect to Unit roots. The Hausman specification test was used to select the panel fixed-effects model, which was corrected for heteroscedasticity. The results show that domestic debt has a positive significant effect on per capita GDP growth rate in the EAC. The policy implication is to promote sustainable levels of domestic borrowing to enhance growth.

description: Recently there has been a drive towards standardisation of forensic DNA interpretation methods resulting in the uptake of probabilistic interpretation software. Some of these software solutions utilise Markov chain Monte Carlo techniques (MCMC). They will not produce an identical answer after repeat interpretations of the same evidence profile because of the Monte Carlo aspect. This is a new source of variability within the forensic DNA analysis process. In this paper we explore the size of the MCMC variability within the interpretation software STRmix™ compared to other sources of variability in forensic DNA profiling including PCR, capillary electrophoresis load and injection, and the makeup of allele frequency databases. The MCMC variability within STRmix™ was shown to be the smallest source of variability in this process.

description: Using annual data from 1970-2010, this paper employs a panel fixed-effects model to estimate the effect of external debt, as a share of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), on economic growth in East Africa Community (EAC). This study was based on the Solow growth model augmented for debt. The Levin-Lin-Chu test (LLC) approach was used to investigate the properties of the data with respect to unit roots. The Hausman specification test was used to verify the panel fixed-effects model. The findings suggest that external debt has a negative significant effect on per capita GDP growth rate in the EAC. The policy implication is therefore to reduce the external debt burden so as to promote rapid economic growth of the EAC member countries.

description: MIX13 was an interlaboratory exercise directed by NIST in 2013. The goal of the exercise was to evaluate the general state of interpretation methods in use at the time across the forensic community within the US and Canada and to measure the consistency in mixture interpretation. The findings were that there was a large variation in analysts’ interpretations between and within laboratories.
Within this work, we sought to evaluate the same mock mixture cases analyzed in MIX13 but with a more current view of the state-of-the-science. Each of the five cases were analyzed using the Identifiler™ multiplex and interpreted with the combined probability of inclusion, CPI, and four different modern probabilistic genotyping systems. Cases 1–4 can be interpreted without difficulty by any of the four PG systems examined. Cases 1 and 4 could also be interpreted successfully with the CPI by assuming two donors.
Cases 2 and 3 cannot be interpreted successfully with the CPI because of potential of allele dropout. Case 3 demonstrated the need to consider relevant background information before interpretation of the profile. This case does not show that there is some barrier to interpretation caused by relatedness beyond the increased allelic overlap that can occur. Had this profile been of better template it might have been interpreted using the CPI despite the (potential) relatedness of contributors.
Case 5 suffers from over-engineering. It is unclear whether reference 5C, a non-donor, can be excluded by manual methods. Inclusion of reference 5C should be termed an adventitious match not a false inclusion. Beyond this statement this case does not contribute to the interlaboratory study of analyst/laboratory interpretation method performance, instead, it explores the limits of DNA analysis.
Taken collectively the analysis of these five cases demonstrates the benefits of changing from CPI to a PG system.

description: The probability that multiple contributors are detected within a forensic DNA profile improves as more highly polymorphic loci are analysed. The assignment of the correct number of contributors to a profile is important when interpreting the DNA profiles. In this work we investigate the probability of a mixed DNA profile appearing as having originated from a fewer number of contributors for the African American, Asian, Caucasian and Hispanic US populations. We investigate a range of locus configurations from the proposed new CODIS set. These theoretical calculations are based on allele frequencies only and ignore peak heights. We show that the probability of a higher order mixture (five or six contributors) appearing as having originated from one less individual is high. This probability decreases as the number of loci tested increases.

description: DNA databases have revolutionised forensic science. They are a powerful investigative tool as they have the potential to identify persons of interest in criminal investigations. Previously, a DNA profile generated from a crime sample could only be searched for in a database of individuals if the stain was from single contributor (single source) or if a contributor could unambiguously be determined from a mixed DNA profile. This meant that a significant number of samples were unsuitable for database searching.
The advent of continuous methods for the interpretation of DNA profiles offers a way to circumvent this restriction. Using these methods, each profile on the database may be considered a possible contributor to a mixture and a likelihood ratio (LR) can be formed. Those profiles which produce a sufficiently large LR can serve as an investigative lead.
In this paper empirical studies are described to determine what constitutes a large LR. We investigate the effect on a database search of complex mixed DNA profiles with contributors in equal proportions with dropout as a consideration, and also the effect of an incorrect assignment of the number of contributors to a profile. In addition, we give, as a demonstration of the method, the results using two crime samples that were previously unsuitable for database comparison. We show that effective management of the selection of samples for searching and the interpretation of the output can be highly informative.

description: This study, assuming a balanced budget, attempts to estimate the optimal devolved government size in Kenya
using the panel ARDL regression and Scully (2008) model for the period 2013-2017. The optimal devolved
government size is determined to be around 9.7 percent of the GCP (Gross County Product). The estimated
threshold size is higher than the current size of county government which stands at 5.4% of GCP. The panel
analysis suggests that the optimal size of government is higher than the current size of government (9.7 > 5.4)
and there is a scope of 4.3% increase in county public expenditures. Therefore, the study recommends
increase of devolved government spending to arrive at the growth, maximizing level of the government size.
This can be possible via increased national government budget allocation to the 47 county government and
improved county revenue collection.

Causes and prevention of crime

description: The interpretation of mixed profiles from DNA evidentiary material is one of the more challenging duties of the forensic scientist. Traditionally, analysts have used a “binary” approach to interpretation where inferred genotypes are either included or excluded from the mixture using a stochastic threshold and other biological parameters such as heterozygote balance, mixture ratio, and stutter ratios. As the sensitivity of STR multiplexes and capillary electrophoresis instrumentation improved over the past 25 years, coupled with the change in the type of evidence being submitted for analysis (from high quality and quantity (often single-source) stains to low quality and quantity (often mixed) “touch” samples), the complexity of DNA profile interpretation has equally increased. This review provides a historical perspective on the movement from binary methods of interpretation to probabilistic methods of interpretation. We describe the two approaches to probabilistic genotyping (semi-continuous and fully continuous) and address issues such as validation and court acceptance. Areas of future needs for probabilistic software are discussed.

description: The interpretation of complex DNA profiles is facilitated by a Bayesian approach. This approach requires the development of a pair of propositions: one aligned to the prosecution case and one to the defense case. This note explores the issue of proposition setting in an adversarial environment by a series of examples. A set of guidelines generalize how to formulate propositions when there is a single person of interest and when there are multiple individuals of interest. Additional explanations cover how to handle multiple defense propositions, relatives, and the transition from subsource level to activity level propositions. The propositions depend on case information and the allegations of each of the parties. The prosecution proposition is usually known. The authors suggest that a sensible proposition is selected for the defense that is consistent with their stance, if available, and consistent with a realistic defense if their position is not known.
