description: Design, fabrication and assembly of a novel fast-cycling accelerator magnet is presented. A short-sample magnet is powered with a single-turn HTS cable capable to carry 80 kA current at 20 K and generate 1.75 T field in a 40 mm magnet gap. The applied conventional leads and the power supply, however, allow only for a sin-wave 24 kA, 20 Hz current limiting test magnet to a B-field of 0.5 T and to a maximum cycling rate of 20 T/s. The critical aspects of the cable construction and the splicing connection to the power leads are described. Tentative power losses of the proposed HTS accelerator magnet in a possible application for proton and muon accelerators are presented.

Behind bars: Exploring the prison and post release experiences of minoritised mothers.
Creators: name: Bozkurt, Sinem
Publisher: name: University of Westminster
Year: 2022

description: Academic literature concerning ‘prisons and prisoners’ generally appear to focus on solitary or at best two characteristics when exploring experiences i.e. either gender, race or class (Enos, 1998; Ginn, 2013; Mirza, 2003). It is often forgotten that individuals in fact occupy more than one social status which affects their life course. This thesis explored the prison and post release experiences of minoritised mothers in two separate studies. Study one consisted of semi structured interviews with eight women and study two was an autoethnography which was then woven into the narrative structures of study one. Using Hofstede (2011) and Crenshaw (1989) as foundational theoretical building blocks, as well as the findings from both the studies, the thesis re-conceptualised intersectionality in the form of a roundabout of oppression with numerous spokes flowing into it, but no exits. The minoritised are at the centre of the roundabout experiencing the increasing density and pressure of oppressive factors originating from each of the spurs that feed into their unique social location. The oppressive factors identified in this thesis were culture, race, ethnicity, religion, prisoner status, and motherhood. Consistent with the theoretical orientation, interpretative phenomenological analysis was utilised to gather individual biographies of women. General themes of oppressive mechanisms such as intimate partner violence, cultural and religious expectations of motherhood and womanhood, and prisoner status were identified through the narratives of the respondents in both studies. The thesis then provided empirically based recommendations for public policy for prison and probation operations. In addition, while the thesis exposed systems of oppression for minoritised women, it also generated more questions that need to be researched. Also, as a consequence of this thesis being conducted in the UK, researching women in social contexts that may eliminate one of the spokes of oppression is an important direction for further research.

description: To identify novel genetic loci associated with fasting glucose concentrations, we examined the leading association signals in 10 genome-wide association scans involving a total of 36,610 individuals of European descent. Variants in the gene encoding the melatonin receptor 1B (MTNR1B) were consistently associated with fasting glucose across all ten studies. The strongest signal was observed at rs10830963, where each G-allele (frequency 0.30 in HapMap CEU) was associated with an increase of 0.07 (95%CI 0.06–0.08) mmol/L in fasting glucose levels (P=3.2×10−50) and reduced beta-cell function as measured by homeostasis model assessment (HOMA-B, P=1.1×10−15). The same allele was associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (odds ratio = 1.09 (1.05–1.12), per G allele P=3.3×10−7) in a meta-analysis of thirteen case-control studies totalling 18,236 cases and 64,453 controls. Our analyses also confirm previous associations of fasting glucose with variants at the G6PC2 (rs560887, P=1.1×10−57) and GCK (rs4607517, P=1.0×10−25) loci.

The development and demise of substantial populations of bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) a and d containing phototrophs are documented within the bottom waters of a billabong (oxbow lake) in south-eastern Australia. The observation of such populations within a freshwater body is unusual, illustrating an unexpected source of organic carbon within the floodplain ecosystem of one of Australia's principal rivers. Values of up to 1086 µg L−1 BChl a and 490 µg L−1 BChl d were recorded during an 11 month study of physico-chemical parameters, algae and bacteria. An unusual density stratification was observed within the billabong, fostered by an increase in bivalent ions at depth, and leading to persistent anoxia below 0.75 m depth over summer. A marked vertical distribution was observed for both algae and bacteria, that for the bacteria being lost with a mixing event in late March. The presence of up to 74 µg L−1 BChl a at the surface of the billabong during the summer months is ascribed to entrainment of bacteria within bubble plumes rising from the sediments.

description: Coryphaenoides serrulatus. The projecting part of the snout is short, with an obtuse upper edge, and with a rough tubercle in the middle. The cleft of the mouth extends to below the middle of the eye, which is comparatively large. The teeth of the outer series are visibly stronger than the remainder. Barbel about as long as the eye. The interorbital space is flat, its width rather less than the vertical diameter of the eye. The scales are equally rough over the whole of their surface, the spinelets being subequal in size, densely packed, closely adpressed to the scale, and not arranged in series. There are seven scales in a transverse series between the first dorsal and the lateral line. Second dorsal spine finely and closely serrate in front. The second dorsal fin commences at a considerable distance from the first, the distance being equal to the length of the head. North-east of New Zealand (Station 169), 700 fathoms.

description: Pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) are designed to detect gravitational waves (GWs) at nHz frequencies. The expected dominant signal is given by the superposition of all waves emitted by the cosmological population of supermassive black hole (SMBH) binaries. Such superposition creates an incoherent stochastic background, on top of which particularly bright or nearby sources might be individually resolved. In this contribution I describe the properties of the expected GW signal, highlighting its dependence on the overall binary population, the relation between SMBHs and their hosts, and their coupling with the stellar and gaseous environment. I describe the status of current PTA efforts, and prospect of future detection and SMBH binary astrophysics.

description: In science we deal a lot with data acquisition and analysis. The process until we draw a conclusion is usually very complex, involving the acquisition of several different datasets, and the application of many analysis procedures that in turn create new data. Moreover, we often want to repeat this procedure many times. This creates a lot of information that we have to store and keep well organized, which can be a time consuming and very tedious process that we don't like but, sooner or later, we cannot avoid. In this talk I present The Bureaucrat, a simple yet powerful Python package that will help you with this organizational task transparently and easily. And of course, cross platform.

description: Ovarian cancer (OC) accounts for more deaths than all other gynecological cancers combined. To identify common low-penetrance OC susceptibility genes, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of 507,094 SNPs in 1,768 cases and 2,354 controls, with follow-up of 21,955 SNPs in 4,162 cases and 4,810 controls, leading to the identification of a confirmed susceptibility locus at 9p22 (BNC2)1. Here, we report on nine additional candidate loci (p≤10-4), identified after stratifying cases by histology, genotyped in an additional 4,353 cases and 6,021 controls. Two novel susceptibility loci with p≤5×10-8 were confirmed (8q24, p=8.0×10-15 and 2q31, p=3.8×10-14); two additional loci were also identified that approached genome-wide significance (3q25, p=7.1×10-8 and 17q21, p=1.4×10-7). The associations with serous OC were generally stronger than other subtypes. Analysis of HOXD1, MYC, TiPARP, and SKAP1 at these loci, and BNC2 at 9p22, supports a functional role for these genes in OC development.

Daher kann Scheidemann nicht um 1596 in Wöhrden/Dithmarschen geboren sein. Weil sich ein Wirken seines Vaters David Scheidemann 1591-95 in Oberndorf nachweisen lässt, verschiebt sich das Datum, das für Heinrichs Geburt anzunehmen ist, in die Zeit vor 1591. Die damit zu errechnenden Altersverhältnisse David und Heinrich Scheidemanns werden durch Informationen zu weiteren Familienmitgliedern bestätigt, die zwischen 1604 und 1720 ununterbrochen Organistenposten im westlichen Schleswig-Holstein innehatten.

description: Germline BRCA1 mutations predispose to breast cancer. To identify genetic modifiers of this risk, we performed a genome-wide association study in 1,193 individuals with BRCA1 mutations who were diagnosed with invasive breast cancer under age 40 and 1,190 BRCA1 carriers without breast cancer diagnosis over age 35. We took forward 96 SNPs for replication in another 5,986 BRCA1 carriers (2,974 individuals with breast cancer and 3,012 unaffected individuals). Five SNPs on 19p13 were associated with breast cancer risk (Ptrend = 2.3 × 10−9 to Ptrend = 3.9 × 10−7), two of which showed independent associations (rs8170, hazard ratio (HR) = 1.26, 95% CI 1.17–1.35; rs2363956 HR = 0.84, 95% CI 0.80–0.89). Genotyping these SNPs in 6,800 population-based breast cancer cases and 6,613 controls identified a similar association with estrogen receptor–negative breast cancer (rs2363956 per-allele odds ratio (OR) = 0.83, 95% CI 0.75–0.92, Ptrend = 0.0003) and an association with estrogen receptor–positive disease in the opposite direction (OR = 1.07, 95% CI 1.01–1.14, Ptrend = 0.016). The five SNPs were also associated with triple-negative breast cancer in a separate study of 2,301 triple-negative cases and 3,949 controls (Ptrend = 1 × 10−7 to Ptrend = 8 × 10−5; rs2363956 per-allele OR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.74–0.87, Ptrend = 1.1 × 10−7).
Are rice fields in southeastern Australia an adequate substitute for natural wetlands as foraging areas for Egrets?

MDFRC item.

Within the Murray-Darling Basin of eastern Australia there has been a general decline in the abundance of wading birds. Loss of wetlands caused by river regulation and irrigated agriculture is considered to be the main cause. We assessed the adequacy of irrigated rice fields as substitutes for natural wetlands for foraging egrets during the breeding season in one study area around a mixed colony of egrets in southeast Australia. For aerially sown rice crops, which represented 85% of all rice in the general area, the densities of foraging Intermediate Egret (Egretta intermedia) and Great Egret (Ardea alba) tended to reach a maximum four to six weeks after sowing of the rice crop, and declined thereafter. The decline phase was correlated with decreasing prey capture rates and a shift from vertebrate prey to less profitable invertebrate prey, and coincided with the start of the egrets' main chick rearing period when food demands would have been high. Even at maximum densities it was estimated that only 5-13% of the Intermediate Egrets and Great Egrets that were available to feed actually did so in the rice growing areas within 6.5 km of the colony. In contrast, Cattle Egret (Bubulcus ibis) densities in rice fields did not decline until after their young fledged. They fed almost exclusively on insects and their prey capture rates showed no seasonal decrease. Up to 60% of the available Cattle Egrets were found feeding in the rice fields within 6.5 km of the colony. It is concluded that rice fields provide a good foraging habitat for the Cattle Egret and may be contributing to the spread of this invasive species, but that they are probably not a preferred foraging habitat for the Intermediate Egret and the Great Egret.

description: We analyze a sample of tens of thousands of spectra of halo turnoff stars, obtained with the optical spectrographs of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS), to characterize the stellar halo population "in situ" out to a distance of a few tens of kpc from the Sun. In this paper we describe the derivation of atmospheric parameters. We also derive the overall stellar metallicity distribution based on F-type stars observed as flux calibrators for the Baryonic Oscillations Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS). Our analysis is based on an automated method that determines the set of parameters of a model atmosphere that reproduces each observed spectrum best. We used an optimization algorithm and evaluate model fluxes by means of interpolation in a precomputed grid. In our analysis, we account for the spectrograph's varying resolution as a function of fiber and wavelength. Our results for early SDSS (pre-BOSS upgrade) data compare well with those from the SEGUE Stellar Parameter Pipeline (SSPP), except for stars with logg (cgs units) lower than 2.5. An analysis of stars in the globular cluster M13 reveals a dependence of the inferred metallicity on surface gravity for stars with logg < 2.5, confirming the systematics identified in the comparison with the SSPP. We find that our metallicity estimates are significantly more precise than the SSPP results. We obtain a halo metallicity distribution that is narrower and more asymmetric than in previous studies. The lowest gravity stars in our sample, at tens of kpc from the Sun, indicate a shift of the metallicity distribution to lower abundances, consistent with what is expected from a dual halo system in the Milky Way.

description: Obesity is globally prevalent and highly heritable, but the underlying genetic factors remain largely elusive. To identify genetic loci for obesity-susceptibility, we examined associations between body mass index (BMI) and ~2.8 million SNPs in up to 123,865 individuals, with targeted follow-up of 42 SNPs in up to 125,931 additional individuals. We confirmed 14 known obesity-susceptibility loci and identified 18 new loci associated with BMI (P<5×10−8), one of which includes a copy number variant near GPRC5B. Some loci (MC4R, POMC, SH2B1, BDNF) map near key hypothalamic regulators of energy balance, and one is near GIPR, an incretin receptor. Furthermore, genes in other newly-associated loci may provide novel insights into human body weight regulation.

description: Circulating glucose levels are tightly regulated. To identify novel glycemic loci, we performed meta-analyses of 21 genome-wide associations studies informative for fasting glucose (FG), fasting insulin (FI) and indices of β-cell function (HOMA-B) and insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) in up to 46,186 non-diabetic participants. Follow-up of 25 loci in up to 76,558 additional subjects identified 16 loci associated with FG/HOMA-B and two associated with FI/HOMA-IR. These include nine new FG loci (in or near ADCY5, MADD, ADRA2A, CRY2, FADS1, GLIS3, SLC2A2, PROX1 and FAM148B) and one influencing FI/HOMA-IR (near IGF1). We also demonstrated association of ADCY5, PROX1, GCK, GCKR and DGKB/TMEM195 with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Within these loci, likely biological candidate genes influence signal transduction, cell proliferation, development, glucose-sensing and circadian regulation. Our results demonstrate that genetic studies of glycemic traits can identify T2D risk loci, as well as loci that elevate FG modestly, but do not cause overt diabetes.

description: Climate change has been identified as a major threat to wetlands. Changes in hydrology and rising temperatures can alter the biogeochemistry and function of a wetland to the point where some important services become disservices. Carbon dioxide emissions from drained and burned peatlands account for about 10% of global annual fossil fuel emissions. This implies they will no longer provide a water purification service, and they may begin to decompose and release nutrients into the surface water. Wetlands become carbon sources when they are drained, burned, or cleared, releasing centuries of stored carbon into the atmosphere. The primary aim of this study is to determine the effects of climate change on the Matlabas wetland and which climate change parameters have the greatest influence on wetland functioning. The objectives were to determine changes in the wetland over the last few years, changes in wetland hydrology and rainfall, and changes in wetland vegetation. Polyvinyl chloride wells and piezometer tubes were used to determine hydrological changes in the wetland at various depths in eight randomly selected sites. In the same locations, eight veld condition assessments were performed using a disc pasture meter, which was also used to measure fuel load. The results of water sample analysis and veld condition assessments were used to determine the threat to the wetland. The study also used fire scar history to determine the frequency and effect of fires in the area. The purpose of the fire was to assess changes in the wetland's vegetation component. According to the results of all eight sites, site 1; site 2; site 3 and site 4 did not exhibit any indication of water on the piezometers for the duration of the winter season. The type of herbaceous vegetation also supported this, as they are not wetland plant species. Those plant species observed invading the wetland boundaries is Protea roupelliae. Increaser IIs species such as Eragrostis bicolor; Setaria Pallide-fusca; Digitaria monodactyla; Panicum Schinzii; Cynodon dactylon and Aristida congesta ssp congesta were discovered throughout all eight sites. These species are more common in areas with overgrazing or disturbed land. The results suggest that the Matlabas wetland is under threat from a variety of ecological factors, and more research is required to identify these threats and implement mitigation and adaptation measures. The study concludes that park management should implement structural interventions to remove water from the channel, wet other areas of the wetland, and raise ground water levels to avert further erosion.

description: Im Jahr 1640 publizierte der Venezianer Giovanni Antonio Rigatti die Kirchenmusiksammlung . Im gleichen Jahr und am gleichen Ort erschien Claudio Monteverdis umfassende Sammlung , die Rigattis Druck in Aufbau und Inhalt stark ähnelt. Die genauere Untersuchung von Rigattis Werken lässt jedoch den Generationenunterschied zwischen ihm und Monteverdi erkennen: Rigattis Kirchenmusik spiegelt die neuesten stilistischen Tendenzen in der italienischen Kirchenmusik der 1630er und 1640er Jahre, während Monteverdis Werke auf der kompositorischen Erfahrung von über 60 Jahren basieren.

description: For a selfadjoint Schrödinger operator on the half line with a real-valued, integrable, and compactly-supported potential, it is investigated whether the boundary parameter at the origin and the potential can uniquely be determined by the scattering matrix or by the absolute value of the Jost function known at positive energies, without having the bound-state information. It is proved that, except in one special case where the scattering matrix has no bound states and its value is $+1$ at zero energy, the determination by the scattering matrix is unique. In the special case, it is shown that there are exactly two distinct sets consisting of a potential and a boundary parameter yielding the same scattering matrix, and a characterization of the nonuniqueness is provided. A reconstruction from the scattering matrix is outlined yielding all the corresponding potentials and boundary parameters. The concept of "eligible resonances" is introduced, and such resonances correspond to real-energy resonances that can be converted into bound states via a Darboux transformation without changing the compact support of the potential. It is proved that the determination of the boundary parameter and the potential by the absolute value of the Jost function is unique up to the inclusion of eligible resonances. Several equivalent characterizations are provided to determine whether a resonance is eligible or ineligible. A reconstruction from the absolute value of the Jost function is given, yielding all the corresponding potentials and boundary parameters. The results obtained are illustrated with various explicit examples.

description: Glucose levels 2 h after an oral glucose challenge are a clinical measure of glucose tolerance used in the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. We report a meta-analysis of nine genome-wide association studies (n = 15,234 nondiabetic individuals) and a follow-up of 29 independent loci (n = 6,958–30,620). We identify variants at the GIPR locus associated with 2-h glucose level (rs10423928, β (s.e.m.) = 0.09 (0.01) mmol/l per A allele, P = 2.0 × 10−15). The GIPR A-allele carriers also showed decreased insulin secretion (n = 22,492; insulinogenic index, P = 1.0 × 10−17; ratio of insulin to glucose area under the curve, P = 1.3 × 10−16) and diminished incretin effect (n = 804; P = 4.3 × 10−4). We also identified variants at ADCY5 (rs2877716, P = 4.2 × 10−16), VPS13C (rs17271305, P = 4.1 × 10−8), GCKR (rs1260326, P = 7.1 × 10−11) and TCF7L2 (rs7903146, P = 4.2 × 10−10) associated with 2-h glucose. Of the three newly implicated loci (GIPR, ADCY5 and VPS13C), only ADCY5 was found to be associated with type 2 diabetes in collaborating studies (n = 35,869 cases, 89,798 controls, OR = 1.12, 95% CI 1.09–1.15, P = 4.8 × 10−18).

description: We report on the discovery of strong intensity variations in the high rotational lines of abundant molecular species towards the archetypical circumstellar envelope of IRC+10216. The observations have been carried out with the HIFI instrument on board \textit{Herschel}\thanks{\textit{Herschel} is an ESA space observatory with science instruments provided by European-led Principal Investigator consortia and with important participation from NASA} and with the IRAM\thanks{This work was based on observations carried out with the IRAM 30-meter telescope. IRAM is supported by INSU/CNRS (France), MPG (Germany) and IGN (Spain)} 30-m telescope. They cover several observing periods spreading over 3 years. The line intensity variations for molecules produced in the external layers of the envelope most probably result from time variations in the infrared pumping rates. We analyze the main implications this discovery has on the interpretation of molecular line emission in the envelopes of Mira-type stars. Radiative transfer calculations have to take into account both the time variability of infrared pumping and the possible variation of the dust and gas temperatures with stellar phase in order to reproduce the observation of molecular lines at different epochs. The effect of gas temperature variations with stellar phase could be particularly important for lines produced in the innermost regions of the envelope. Each layer of the circumstellar envelope sees the stellar light radiation with a different lag time (phase). Our results show that this effect must be included in the models. The sub-mm and FIR lines of AGB stars cannot anymore be considered as safe intensity calibrators.

description: Consistent but indirect evidence has implicated genetic factors in smoking behavior1,2. We report meta-analyses of several smoking phenotypes within cohorts of the Tobacco and Genetics Consortium (n = 74,053). We also partnered with the European Network of Genetic and Genomic Epidemiology (ENGAGE) and Oxford-GlaxoSmithKline (Ox-GSK) consortia to follow up the 15 most significant regions (n > 140,000). We identified three loci associated with number of cigarettes smoked per day. The strongest association was a synonymous 15q25 SNP in the nicotinic receptor gene CHRNA3 (rs1051730[A], β = 1.03, standard error (s.e.) = 0.053, P = 2.8 × 10−73). Two 10q25 SNPs (rs1329650[G], β = 0.367, s.e. = 0.059, P = 5.7 × 10−10; and rs1028936[A], β = 0.446, s.e. = 0.074, P = 1.3 × 10−9) and one 9q13 SNP in EGLN2 (rs3733829[G], β = 0.333, s.e. = 0.058, P = 1.0 × 10−8) also exceeded genome-wide significance for cigarettes per day. For smoking initiation, eight SNPs exceeded genome-wide significance, with the strongest association at a nonsynonymous SNP in BDNF on chromosome 11 (rs6265[C], odds ratio (OR) = 1.06, 95% confidence interval (Cl) 1.04–1.08, P = 1.8 × 10−8). One SNP located near DBH on chromosome 9 (rs3025343[G], OR = 1.12, 95% Cl 1.08–1.18, P = 3.6 × 10−8) was significantly associated with smoking cessation.

description: Die Sprachvertonung erhielt im 16. Jh. wichtige Impulse aus verschiedenen Richtungen. Zeitgleich wurde die Instrumentalmusik zu einem unabhängigen Genre. Ausgehend von diesen zwei Tatsachen versucht der Autor in den ersten beiden Teilen dieses Artikels die reziproke Beziehung zwischen Sprachvertonung und Instrumentalstil herauzuarbeiten. Diese lässt sich vor allem in der venetianischen Musik feststellen, sogar in der Monodie. Sie wirkt sich auf rhythmische Beziehungen und Klanglichkeit aus. Zur Untersuchung herangezogen wird Musik von Monteverdi (Lamento d'Arianna), Andrea Gabrieli (Psalmi Davidici und die Chöre aus Oedipus) und de Lassus (Psalmi Davidis poenitentiales). Ferner werden Theorien der Monodie mit traditioneller Musiktheorie (Zarlino, Vicentino) hinsichtlich der Beziehung zwischen Musik und Sprache verglichen. (Vorlage)
