description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.While an Ecosystem Approach to Fisheries management is being promoted by FAO and other bodies, many gaps still persist in understanding the functioning of marine ecosystems and in assessing the ecosystem effects of fishing. The need for defining new management methods on an ecosystem scale requires the development and use of ecosystem indicators of fishing effects and new reference points. The present paper aims at evaluating the relevance of several community indicators (size-based, species-based and trophodynamic indicators) to quantify fishing effects on the fish community of the southern Benguela upwelling ecosystem. To this aim, the multispecies size-based model Osmose (Shin and Cury 2001, 2004; Shin et al. 2004) is used. This individual-based model is based on the hypothesis that predation in the marine environment is an opportunistic process, mainly based on the availability of prey of a suitable size for predators. By simulating different fishing scenarios (increase in the fishing mortality of the whole community, of hakes, of small pelagic fish or of mesopelagic fish), the usefulness of indicators is discussed according to their reference directions and sensitivity. The simulations show that some indicators vary in a different direction than predicted by theory. In these cases, the complementary analysis of population versus community indicators is very informative for understanding which processes are at stake in the observed emergent properties of the ecosystem. In the different simulated fishing scenarios, the indicators derived from size or species distributions (slope and curvature of size spectra, W statistic) vary in a consistent way to fishing intensification, with a high sensitivity. However, to catch the maximum information about direct and indirect ecosystem effects of fishing, a set of different kinds of indicators is needed. Beyond the process-based distinction made between size-based, species-based and trophodynamic indicators, it is worth noting that the way the indicators are calculated can also be informative on the structure and state of the ecosystem under analysis: the comparison of the changes in indicators weighted by biomass versus those that are weighted by abundance, in average indicators versus those characterizing size and/or species distributions is helpful for avoiding misleading interpretations.

description: The effect of mercury stress on antioxidant enzymes, lipid peroxidation, photosynthetic pigments, hydrogen peroxide content, osmolytes and growth parameters in tartary buckwheat were investigated. The effect of Hg-exposure was found to be time (15 and 30 days) and concentration (0, 25, 50 and 75 μM) dependent. Hg was readily absorbed by seedlings with higher content in roots and it resulted in reduction of root and shoot length. The root and shoot Hg uptakes were significantly and directly correlated with each other. However, the fresh mass and biomass increased upto 50 μM Hg-treatment at both time periods. A significant positive correlation was observed between biomass accumulation with relative water content. Hg levels were positively correlated with the production of hydrogen peroxide in leaves as evidenced by 3, 3-diaminobenzidine (DAB)-mediated tissue fingerprinting. The osmolyte levels in general were elevated except for proline and protein which showed a decline at 75 μM Hg-treatment at 30-days. Amongst the photosynthetic pigments, chlorophyll showed a decline while as carotenoid and anthocyanin levels were elevated. The activity of antioxidant enzymes such as ascorbate peroxidase (APX), guaiacol peroxidase (POD), glutathione reductase (GR), Glutathione-s-transferase (GST) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were positively correlated with Hg-treatment except SOD, which declined at 75 μM Hg-treatment in 30-days old seedlings. Catalase (CAT) activity showed a positive correlation upto 50 μM Hg-treatment but at 75 μM Hg-stress it decreases at both 15 and 30-days.
Does modified-live viral vaccine administration to heifers or cows lack substantial risk?

description: Modified-live viral (MLV) vaccines are an important tool to limit reproductive loss subsequent to infection from bovine viral diarrhea virus and bovine herpesvirus-1, but are not without risk. Therefore, their utilization must be undertaken with an understanding of the inherent risks of the vaccines and their administration. These risks include the potential causation of undue harm and lack of effective immunization. Consequently, vaccine programs should be designed to minimize the risks while maintaining or maximizing potential benefits of vaccination. The risk of viral transmission from vaccinated calves to naive cows is low but not absent. Therefore, cows and heifers should be effectively immunized prior to gestation, ideally at least 30 days before breeding. Additionally, revaccination of pregnant cows previously vaccinated with the same MLV vaccine carries a low but detectable risk of adverse reproductive consequences. Understanding the level of risk associated with the vaccination of cattle against bovine viral diarrhea virus and bovine herpesvirus-1 will aid in the optimization of vaccination protocols. Proper timing of MLV vaccine administration can maximize protection against reproductive viral pathogens while minimizing the potential for the development of adverse consequences subsequent to vaccination.

Preconditioning beef calves is an economic "no-brainer"

Publisher: name: American Association of Bovine Practitioners  Proceedings of the Annual Conference
Year: 2017

description: The concept of preconditioning of beef calves has been around for a long time. However, the uptake of this management method has been slow. Reported benefits of preconditioning are improved health, improved feedlot performance, and improved economic returns to both cow-calf and feedlot operators. A critical review of the literature on the benefits of preconditioning reveals mixed results. The decision to precondition calves requires careful economic modeling and may not be economically feasible for all cow-calf operations.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The key objective in fishery management is to control fishing effort in order to maximize landings (or economic value) on a sustainable level. However, sustainability can be interpreted in different ways and is subjected to different constraints. Traditionally, for many fisheries this objective is approached in an ad hoc way or by using an accretion of techniques, which may not be consistent with one another. Traditional techniques are often applied in equilibrium settings and relate to maximizing production, Y/R or SSB/R. Unfortunately, traditional techniques or 'management algorithms' are not consistent with the data and information at hand. The techniques have been developed in a single-species setting (see however MSVPA) even though many fisheries take many species simultaneously. But even in a single species setting, the traditional techniques leave much to be desired. This is because the techniques do not always yield a clearly defined maximum or optimum. In addition, the theory underlying the techniques is brought into question by the very large variability in real data fitted to any of the techniques. Besides developing approaches with clear optimality, and that account for multi-species and high variability in data, it would be desirable to include information on the environment and information linking nominal fishing effort with fishing mortality. It would be further desirable to include in management algorithms, guidance on sampling and the cost of sampling. We believe that improvements in fishery management algorithms will contribute much to the management of fish stocks on Georges Bank. The current paper will outline the fundamentals of an underlying model based on components of control theory and operations research, and how the model will be embedded into a broader approach of creating a decision support system.

description: Nutritionists and veterinarians play an important role in helping feedlots with protocol generation and implementation, training, use of new technologies, and monitoring of outcomes. In general, nutritionists are judged on growth performance, feed efficiency, feed-only cost ofgain, and metabolic disorders/mortalities, while veterinarians are judged on morbidity and mortality outcomes, as well as pharmaceutical costs. In some cases, the protocols or recommendations that could be implemented to optimize these outcomes in 1 realm may conversely result in negative impacts on outcomes in another realm, thus reflecting poorly on either the nutritionist or the veterinarian. If these professionals can work cooperatively to optimize outcomes, this is the best case scenario for the client, the cattle, and ultimately the consumer. However, the client also needs to have clear communication and more importantly, realistic expectations to hold these professionals accountable for the right reasons. As technology continues to improve through monitoring tools, data collection, new products, and research, opportunities for collaboration between professionals does exist. Clear expectations from all 3 parties (feedlot, veterinarian, and nutritionist) are required for success.

Global $Λ$ hyperon polarization in nuclear collisions: evidence for the most vortical fluid
Creators: name: STAR Collaboration
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The extreme temperatures and energy densities generated by ultra-relativistic collisions between heavy nuclei produce a state of matter with surprising fluid properties. Non-central collisions have angular momentum on the order of 1000$\hbar$, and the resulting fluid may have a strong vortical structure that must be understood to properly describe the fluid. It is also of particular interest because the restoration of fundamental symmetries of quantum chromodynamics is expected to produce novel physical effects in the presence of strong vorticity. However, no experimental indications of fluid vorticity in heavy ion collisions have so far been found. Here we present the first measurement of an alignment between the angular momentum of a non-central collision and the spin of emitted particles, revealing that the fluid produced in heavy ion collisions is by far the most vortical system ever observed. We find that $Λ$ and $\overlineΛ$ hyperons show a positive polarization of the order of a few percent, consistent with some hydrodynamic predictions. A previous measurement that reported a null result at higher collision energies is seen to be consistent with the trend of our new observations, though with larger statistical uncertainties. These data provide the first experimental access to the vortical structure of the "perfect fluid" created in a heavy ion collision. They should prove valuable in the development of hydrodynamic models that quantitatively connect observations to the theory of the Strong Force. Our results extend the recent discovery of hydrodynamic spin alignment to the subatomic realm.

description: Architecture patterns capture architectural design experience and provide abstract solutions to recurring architectural design problems. They consist of a description of component types and restrict component connection and activation. Therefore, they guarantee some desired properties for architectures employing the pattern. Unfortunately, most documented patterns do not provide a formal guarantee of whether their specification indeed leads to the desired guarantee. Failure in doing so, however, might lead to wrong architectures, i.e., architectures wrongly supposed to show certain desired properties. Since architectures, in general, have a high impact on the quality of the resulting system and architectural flaws are only difficult, if not to say impossible, to repair, this may lead to badly reparable quality issues in the resulting system. To address this problem, we propose an approach based on model checking to verify pattern specifications w.r.t. their guarantees. In the following we apply the approach to three well-known patterns for dynamic architectures: the Singleton, the Model-View-Controller, and the Broker pattern. Thereby, we discovered ambiguities and missing constraints for all three specifications. Thus, we conclude that verifying patterns of dynamic architectures using model checking is feasible and useful to discover ambiguities and flaws in pattern specifications.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Ecosystem indices were used to investigate possible factors associated with the depression of the recruitment (the abundance of young fish) and spawning stock biomass of North Sea cod from 1977-1998, covering the period since the gadoid outburst of the 1970s. They were derived from time-series of biotic (sandeel recruitment, cod spawning stock biomass (SSB)), abiotic (temperature) and anthropogenic (sandeel landings) data. The temperature and sandeel landings data were subjected to principal component analysis to generate fewer, new variables for modelling purposes. The recruitment estimates for cod at various stages during the first year of life (the 0-group phase) were based on time-series of catch-per-unit-effort data from fishing surveys and from single species and multispecies virtual population analyses.

description: Stockmanship, husbandry, and cattle welfare are terms that in many ways overlap, and are all associated with cattle handling. Rarely will you find cattle producers arguing against the value of proper cattle handling. While most in the industry would advocate for proper cattle handling, the question becomes, at what level is "proper" defined? As with many practices (vaccinations, antimicrobials, pen space), more is not always better and there becomes a cost that exceeds the value derived from the practice, in other words, an economic threshold is met. A research trial in beef calves was conducted evaluating a traditional cattle handling (TCH) system to an alternative cattle handling (ACH) system. Health, performance, and carcass characteristics were evaluated. Total mortality was higher (P = 0.09) for the TCH treatment compared to the ACH treatment, but this did not translate to fewer realizers or total wastage (P > 0.10). No significant differences were observed in cattle performance or morbidity. Numerous alternative cattle handling models exist and future evaluation of these differences is warranted.

description: This work examines how U.S. economic sanctions affect social welfare spending in authoritarian countries. U.S. economic sanctions play a role of leading autocratic targets to change social policy through two theoretical channels. First, U.S. economic sanctions may reduce autocrats’ resources to buy off supports from ruling elite groups and so force autocrats to reallocate government expenditure in favor of their supporting groups. Consequently, autocrats facing longer U.S. sanctions are likely to cut spending on public goods and services, especially on education and health care spending. Second, the impacts of U.S. sanction duration on social spending vary according to political variables such as autocrats’ pseudo-democratic institutions. The empirical findings show that, even when U.S. sanctions last a long time, autocrats under nominal democratic institutions cut spending on education and health to a lesser degree than do autocrats with no such institutions. In contrast, autocrats relying on pseudo-democratic institutions reduce social security spending a little more than did non-institutionalized autocrats.

description: A highly efficient simulation model for 2D and 3D grain growth and recrystallization was developed based on the level-set method. The model introduces modern computational concepts to achieve excellent performance on parallel computer architectures. Strong scalability was measured on ccNUMA architectures. To achieve this, the proposed approach considers the application of local level-set functions at the grain level. Ideal and non-ideal grain growth was simulated in 3D with the objective to study the evolution of statistical representative volume elements in polycrystals. In addition, microstructure evolution in an anisotropic magnetic material affected by an external magnetic field was simulated.
Fresh cow metabolic diseases

description: Hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia, hypomagnesemia, hyperketonemia (ketosis), and hypokalemia are important metabolic diseases of fresh dairy cows. Many dairy practitioners and dairy producers need to update their approaches to these diseases because of new findings about these disorders. Hypocalcemia in standing cows is best treated orally; intravenous calcium causes a rebound hypocalcemia and should be reserved for recumbent cases of milk fever. Glucose or additional electrolytes should not be administered intravenously to cows with hypocalcemia. The strategic use of oral calcium helps manage subclinical hypocalcemia. Hypophosphatemia is less common and is usually secondary to hypocalcemia. Mild to moderate cases of hypophosphatemia are best treated with oral phosphorus; intravenous phosphorus is best reserved for severe cases. Hypomagnesemia may be a clinical problem in grazing herds or a subclinical problem in cows fed stored feeds. Clinical cases may be treated intravenously or via rectal enema; subclinical cases are best managed by oral magnesium supplementation. Ketosis (hyperketonemia) is a very common problem in early lactation cows. Early detection and early treatment of hyperketonemia is key. Hypokalemia may follow prolonged periods of anorexia in early lactation cows. Oral potassium supplementation is the best means of treating and preventing hypokalemia.

The approach used to construct the fluid equations is a direct extension of the ordinary Gravity/Fluid correspondence under the constrained fluctuation obeying Petrov type I conditions. The explicit relationships between the time dependent fluctuation modes and the fluid quantities such as density, velocity field and kinematic viscosity parameters are established, and the resulting fluid system is governed by a system of a sourced continuity equation and a compressible Navier-Stokes equation with non-trivial time evolution.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A Stochastic Multi-Species model (SMS) including a parameterised size dependent food se-lection model are formulated and fitted to observations of catches, survey CPUE's and stom-ach content. The model has been applied to a subset of ICES North Sea Multi Species VPA (MSVPA) data set and the parameters and the variance/covariance matrix have been esti-mated. For all species except for the prey species sandeel and Norway pout SMS and MSVPA resulted in similar estimates of average fishing mortality and biomass using the same input data. For the latter two species the trends estimated were similar. The predation mortality, M2, was quite different for the two models with a higher inter annual variation in M2 for the MSVPA. The precision of SSB and average F are determined almost entirely by the quality of catch and survey observations and not by the stomach contents observations. Whether M2 was assumed known and constant over years or estimated by the SMS model had almost no effect on the precision of estimated biomass and fishing mortality.

description: Latin American and Caribbean (LAC) forest cover reduced by 9% from 1990 to 2015, affecting biodiversity, climate change mitigation and ecosystem service functionality. These losses are caused by a myriad of interconnected, interdependent and often socio-economic processes, which forest vulnerability metrics largely ignore in their assessments. To address this, we develop the Deforestation Vulnerability Index (DVI) to identify spatial and temporal patterns of forest vulnerability from socio-economic processes. Composed of 13 socio-economic indicators, the DVI was applied to 24 LAC countries, and three provincial (sub-national) examples for the period 2000–2010. The DVI showed that vulnerability declined in more than 60% of countries, due to governance improvements and reductions in agricultural expansion. Provincial application of the index showed provinces to be more vulnerable than countries, due largely to higher economic dependence upon agriculture. Observed vulnerability reductions, whilst deforestation continues, may demonstrate a lag between socio-economic improvements and subsequent deforestation reductions, or the effects of omitted or unidentified vulnerability indicators. The DVI represents a simple, yet effective tool whose outputs could be used by policy-makers and stakeholders to source vulnerability at the scale of application, whilst assisting in directing reactive and responsive sustainable forest management strategies and decision-making.
Myth

description: Use of antimicrobials in animal agriculture is increasingly scrutinized, and it is important that veterinarians are engaged with farmers to ensure that they are used in a manner that meets evolving societal expectations while maintaining animal well-being and farm profitability. On most North American dairy farms, mastitis is the most common bacterial disease of cows, and is usually treated by farm workers without veterinary supervision. On most farms, treatment of mastitis accounts for the majority of antimicrobial treatments and many cases are treated symptomatically without knowledge of etiology. However, as farmers have adopted modern management practices, the distribution of mastitis pathogens has shifted and varies among farms based on differences in housing and management. On many farms, a large proportion of cases are microbiologically negative when detected, or are caused by pathogens that have high rates of spontaneous cure. Other cases are often caused by bacteria that are intrinsically resistant to available antimicrobials or occur in cows with characteristics that greatly reduce the probability that antimicrobial therapy can result in successful bacterial clearance. When antimicrobials are routinely used to treat mastitis without determining the etiology, approximately 35 to 60% of antimicrobial treatments will be of no-benefit to the cow. In an era when use of antimicrobials on farms is increasingly controversial, this is difficult to justify. To develop appropriate treatment protocols, veterinarians should review the spectrum of action of approved drugs and implement protocols that include options for managing cases that will not benefit from antimicrobial use. When possible, veterinarians should encourage farmers to use culture-based treatment protocols and review the medical history of the cow before administration of antimicrobial treatments. When culture-based protocols are not feasible, veterinarians should recommend use of approved narrow-spectrum intramammary antibiotics for short durations. There is considerable opportunity for veterinarians to promote responsible use of antimicrobials by increasing engagement with farmers in development of mastitis treatment protocols.

In the case of phosphane imides R3PNX and the isomers R2PN(X)R, the substituent R plays a critical role in determining their relative stabilities. When R is hydrogen or phenyl group, R3PNX are always higher in energy than R2PN(X)R but the former are more stable than the latter when R = Cl. Interestingly, the Me3PNX and Me2PN(X)Me are quite close in energy. The energy decomposition analysis suggests that the P–N bond in the phosphane imides R3PNX (R = H, Cl, Me, Ph; X = H, F, Cl) should be described in terms of an electron-sharing single bond between two charged fragments R3P+-NX− that is supported by (R3P)+←(NX)− π-backdonation. The π-bond contributes 14–21% of the total orbital interactions while the σ-bond provides 60–68% of ΔEorb.

description: This project aims to study the impacts of Lawndale Christian Legal Center (LCLC) of Chicago. LCLC provides holistic, community-based legal services that include both social and legal supports for youth (ages 24 and under) who are facing felony charges. We will evaluate how LCLC’s holistic defense model impacts pre-trial restrictions and incarceration, as well as the impact on case outcomes and sentencing. Our study is designed as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that evaluates LCLC compared to legal services as usual. Between 2018 and 2024, we recruited roughly 660 people in the RCT, with half of that number engaged in LCLC’s holistic defense model across Chicago.

description: The ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) Time Projection Chamber (TPC) at CERN LHC is presently equipped with Multi Wire Proportional Chambers (MWPCs). A gating grid prevents ions produced during the gas amplification from moving into the drift volume. The maximum drift time of the electrons together with the closure time of the gating grid allows a maximum readout rate of about 3 kHz. After the Long Shutdown 2 (from 2021 onwards), the LHC will provide lead-lead collisions at an expected interaction rate of 50 kHz. To take data at this rate the TPC will be upgraded with new readout chambers, allowing for continuous read-out and preserving the energy and momentum resolution of the current MWPCs. Chambers with a stack of four Gas Electron Multipliers (GEMs) fulfil all the performance requirements, if the voltages applied to the GEMs are tuned properly. In order to ensure that these chambers are stable while being operated at the LHC, studies of the discharge behaviour were performed. We report on studies done with small prototypes equipped with one or two GEMs. Discharges were voluntarily induced by a combination of high-voltages across the GEM(s) and highly ionising particles. During these studies, the phenomenon of "secondary discharges" has been observed. These occur only after an initial discharge when the electric field above or below the GEM is high enough. The time between the initial and the secondary discharge ranges from several 10 us to less than 1 us, decreasing with increasing field. Using decoupling resistors in the high-voltage supply path of the bottom side of the GEM shifts the occurrence of these discharges to higher electric fields.

Impact of age on antibiotic distribution and efficacy in calves

description: Calfhood diseases have a major economic impact on beef and dairy operations, due to the costs associated with mortality, treatment, and the long-term effects on growth and performance. With very limited approved drugs for use in "pre-ruminant” calves and heifers, questions remain about the effectiveness of these drugs in young animals. It is important to prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics in calves to limit the development of resistant bacteria and residues, as well as take into account the developmental changes that occur in neonatal calves that would affect the distribution, therefore efficacy of selected drug therapy. The purpose of this article will give an overview of the effects of age on absorption, metabolism, distribution, and elimination of commonly administered drugs and its impact on efficacy in different ages of calves.

$E_6$ Yukawa couplings in F-theory as D-brane instanton effects

description: In a weak coupling limit the neighborhood of $E_6$ Yukawa points in $SU(5)$ GUT F-theory models is described by a non-resolvable orientifold of the conifold. We explicitly show, first directly in IIB and then via a mirror symmetry argument, that in this limit the $E_6$ Yukawa coupling is better described as coming from the non-perturbative contribution of a euclidean D1-brane wrapping the non-resolvable cycle. We also discuss how the M-theory description interpolates between the weak and strong coupling viewpoints.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.It is known that many fisheries data sets contain several different sources of error. It is likely that models with different structures will, in general, be affected in different ways by these errors. It is therefore important to examine what those differences are, both in order to select models of “appropriate' complexity, and to interpret discrepancies in situations where multiple models are run on the same datasets. This paper examines the Northeast Arctic Cod (Gadus morhua). A series of experiments have been conducted introducing additional, known, errors into some of the survey data sets. These errors have been selected in order to mimic problems known to occur in practice. The modified data sets have then been used as inputs into two different models. The two models are currently both run as part of the assessment process for Northeast Arctic Cod. One is a relatively simple, XSA age-structured model, and one a more complex biologically-detailed age-length based model constructed using Gadget. The effects on the model results of these known forced errors are then compared.

description: The electron microscope has been a powerful, highly versatile workhorse in the fields of material and surface science, micro and nanotechnology, biology and geology, for nearly 80 years. The advent of two-dimensional materials opens new possibilities for realising an analogy to electron microscopy in the solid state. Here we provide a perspective view on how a two-dimensional (2D) Dirac fermion-based microscope can be realistically implemented and operated, using graphene as a vacuum chamber for ballistic electrons. We use semiclassical simulations to propose concrete architectures and design rules of 2D electron guns, deflectors, tunable lenses and various detectors. The simulations show how simple objects can be imaged with well-controlled and collimated in-plane beams consisting of relativistic charge carriers. Finally, we discuss the potential of such microscopes for investigating edges, terminations and defects, as well as interfaces, including external nanoscale structures such as adsorbed molecules, nanoparticles or quantum dots.

description: Escherichia coli O157:H7 is a contaminant of beef products and has been associated with food-borne illnesses in humans. Recently an E. coli SRP® vaccine received conditional licensure in the United States for the control of E. coli 0157 in cattle. E. coli is also a common disease agent responsible for causing postnatal calf diarrhea. Colostrum management is recognized as an important factor for calf health and survival. Calves that fail to consume an adequate amount of colostrum within the first 12-24 hours after birth are at a higher risk for disease, death, and decreased performance. The objective of this study was to determine if E. coli O157:H7 SRP®-specific antibodies could be detected in the serum of calves that consumed colostrum from dams that were vaccinated prior to calving with E. coli O157:H7 SRP®-vaccine.

description: L'ensemble de ces notes ont été crée par John Baldwin lors d'une de ses premières périodes de résidence à Paris. Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.
Les données ainsi que les images des fiches sont accessibles sur le site Internet à l'adresse suivante : http://studium-baldwin.lamop.fr/.
Les transcriptions des fiches ont été effectuées par des étudiants de Paris 1 Panthéon - Sorbonne mais elles n'ont pas été corrigées par la suite.
