description: Short obituary for Oliver Bott, who was Cheshire County Council's first Conservation Officer and led the multi-disciplinary Conservation team. Oliver initially trained as an architect, but his researches were widespread and led to publications in other areas, including a study of Cheshire field patterns, hedgerows and ridge-and-furrow ploughing, published as Ploughlands and Pasture, and Man's imprint on Cheshire, an account of the county's historic environment from prehistoric to modern times. A popular and highly regarded individual, Oliver was a Council member of the Chester Archaeological Society as well as a member of the Chester Civic Trust, the Chester Conservation Area Advisory Committee, and a founder and council member of the Landscape History Society.

description: Activated carbon fibers (ACFs) with large surface area were easily prepared from melt-spun fibers of polyethylene glycol lignin (PEGL). To fabricate electric double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) with a wide potential window and a high energy density in an EDLC package, electrodes (mainly composed of ACFs) were internally laminated and connected in series, in parallel, or in a series/parallel combination. Such resultant EDLCs are termed internal tandem (IT) EDLCs. As expected, the potential window was expanded by the series connection, and the capacitance was increased by the parallel connection. As a result, the energy density in the parallel-connected EDLC was remarkably increased by 66% (16.6 Wh kg−1) compared with that of a single-cell EDLC. The EDLC with the combination connection showed both advantages. Thus, based on the package weight, the electrochemical performance of the EDLCs was remarkably improved by the IT-type lamination of electrodes.

II: A rare Roman coin discovered at Mollington

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2018

description: Journal of the Chester Archaeological Society, 84, 5-11
description: A copper as issued by the Roman Emperor Nerva in AD 97 and depicting the god Neptune on the reverse was found in the village of Mollington in Cheshire by a metal detectorist, and was reported to the Finds Liaison Officer in the area for the Portable Antiquities Scheme. The coin is one of only sixteen examples known of this type. The choice of Neptune, whose domain was the sea and water generally, may refer to Nerva's concern to improve Rome's grain supply, which was largely imported, its aqueducts and its flood defences. Minor variants of the type may have been sent to different provinces of the empire. The present coin, found near the road between Chester and the haven at Meols, may have been a talisman belonging to somebody engaged in seafaring around the coast of north-western Britain.
III: Southworth Quarry, Winwick, 2013: excavation of a Roman rural settlement
Creators: name: Moore, Ben

Year: 2018

description: Journal of the Chester Archaeological Society, 84, 13-37
description: A previous programme of archaeological assessment and evaluation at Southworth Quarry near Winwick in Cheshire had revealed the presence of a Roman enclosure and possible Bronze Age activity. Nearly eighty similar enclosures have been detected as cropmarks on aerial photographs within Cheshire, Greater Manchester, Merseyside and West Lancashire, but very little archaeological investigation has so far taken place. Further excavation of the Southworth site was undertaken in 2013 in advance of proposed quarrying and landfill operations. This covered an open area of about half a hectare, targeted over what remained of the enclosure, which was confirmed to be a rural settlement dating to the second century AD. Other plough-truncated features were recorded within and beyond the enclosure. The features outside the site may be medieval, but there was no evidence of prehistoric activity. The project has highlighted the destructive nature of agriculture at the Southworth site, with implications for the future management of similar sites across the region.

description: In many applications of multilevel modeling, group-level (L2) variables for assessing group-level effects are generated by aggregating variables from a lower level (L1). However, the observed group mean might not be a reliable measure of the unobserved true group mean. In this article, we propose a Bayesian approach for estimating a multilevel latent contextual model that corrects for measurement error and sampling error (i.e., sampling only a small number of L1 units from a L2 unit) when estimating group-level effects of aggregated L1 variables. Two simulation studies were conducted to compare the Bayesian approach with the maximum likelihood approach implemented in Mplus. The Bayesian approach showed fewer estimation problems (e.g., inadmissible solutions) and more accurate estimates of the group-level effect than the maximum likelihood approach under problematic conditions (i.e., small number of groups, predictor variable with a small intraclass correlation). An application from educational psychology is used to illustrate the different estimation approaches.

description: Excavation during 2003 ahead of development at Second Wood Street, Nantwich, Cheshire, provided an opportunity to examine medieval and post-medieval remains associated with the industrial history of the town. The remains of timber structures, including salt wich houses, were revealed, together with a range of artefacts connected with the extensive salt industry. The dating of structural timbers indicated occupation from as early as the late 13th century, and the analysis of environmental samples has shed light on the medieval environment. Further work undertaken in 2004 to excavate, lift and preserve an impressive timber salt ship of about the mid-13th century, exposed during the initial excavation, has provided the centrepiece of a new permanent display in the town's museum.

description: Bei den Griechen und Römern war es üblich, die Stunden, die den Zeitraum von Sonnenaufgang bis Sonnenuntergang unterteilten, an Sonnenuhren abzulesen. Es waren Messinstrumente, die von griechischen Wissenschaftlern ersonnen wurden. Sie offenbaren eine intensive Auseinandersetzung mit astronomischen Phänomenen, während ihre Ausführung den ihnen beigemessenen Sinn und Wert widerspiegelt. Kein anderes wissenschaftliches Instrument der Antike hat sich so häufig erhalten. Ihre Anzahl spiegelt die Wertschätzung der Innovation in der damaligen Gesellschaft wider. Dieser Doppelband stellt nicht nur einzelne Funde griechischer Sonnenuhren in Wort und Bild vor, sondern will darüber hinaus durch die Einbeziehung antiker Texte und Inschriften sowie antiker Abbildungen aufzeigen, wie die Sonnenuhr in das kulturelle Leben des Altertums eingebunden war. Dem schließt sich eine Betrachtung der mathematischen und astronomischen Grundlagen des Messinstruments und seiner Genauigkeit an. Der vorliegende Band II enthält zentrales Bild und Katalogmaterial zu den antiken Sonnenuhren Griechenlands. Der Schwerpunkt der Studie liegt dabei auf den griechischen Uhren, doch werden römische Exemplare und Abbildungen sowie lateinische Texte und Inschriften insbesondere bei Fragen nach dem Wissenstransfer mit herangezogen.

Publisher: name: Archaeology Data Service
Year: 2018

description: Journal of the Chester Archaeological Society, 84, 129-135
description: Construction of a new cattle shed at Oakhanger Hall Farm, Haslington in 2010 resulted in the exposure of the remains of an earlier version of the hall, originally investigated to a limited extent by a local group in 1994. The building lay about 125m south-west of the present hall, on the southern edge of the modern complex of farm buildings. The remains proved to be of brick on a sandstone foundation, with traces of a sandstone plinth on the western side; the foundations had been cut into a natural slope to the east. The hall was probably constructed in the late 17th or 18th century and is believed to have burnt down in 1826.

description: The intrinsically unstructured C9ORF78 protein was detected in spliceosomes but its role in splicing is presently unclear. We find that C9ORF78 tightly interacts with the spliceosome remodeling factor, BRR2, in vitro. Affinity purification/mass spectrometry and RNA UV-crosslinking analyses identify additional C9ORF78 interactors in spliceosomes. Cryogenic electron microscopy structures reveal how C9ORF78 and the spliceosomal B complex protein, FBP21, wrap around the C-terminal helicase cassette of BRR2 in a mutually exclusive manner. Knock-down of C9ORF78 leads to alternative NAGNAG 3′-splice site usage and exon skipping, the latter dependent on BRR2. Inspection of spliceosome structures shows that C9ORF78 could contact several detected spliceosome interactors when bound to BRR2, including the suggested 3′-splice site regulating helicase, PRPF22. Together, our data establish C9ORF78 as a late-stage splicing regulatory protein that takes advantage of a multi-factor trafficking site on BRR2, providing one explanation for suggested roles of BRR2 during splicing catalysis and alternative splicing.

description: Cyclic adsorption processes of PSA, VSA, and TSA were modeled and numerically simulated using SAPO-34 core-shell adsorbent. The results were compared with ordinary SAPO-34 to achieve a more efficient process for CO2–CH4 separation. OCM coupled with method of lines was used for numerical solution of the mechanistic model. The simulation results revealed higher efficiency of core-shell adsorbent with less usage of SAPO rather than the ordinary adsorbent to achieve the same degree of purification and recovery. VSA and TSA processes against PSA resulted in CH4 purification capability more than 99% with more than 73% recovery. However, VSA process has revealed higher productivity rather than TSA.

description: Methionine (Met) as an essential amino acid has key importance in a variety of metabolic pathways. This study investigated the influence of three dietary Met supplements (0.21% L-Met, 0.21% DL-Met and 0.31% DL-2-hydroxy-4-(methylthio)butanoic acid (DL-HMTBA)) on the metabolome and inflammatory status in the small intestine of pigs. Epithelia from duodenum, proximal jejunum, middle jejunum and ileum were subjected to metabolomics analysis and qRT-PCR of caspase 1, NLR family pyrin domain containing 3 (NLRP3), interleukins IL1β, IL8, IL18, and transforming growth factor TGFβ. Principal component analysis of the intraepithelial metabolome revealed strong clustering of samples by intestinal segment but not by dietary treatment. However, pathway enrichment analysis revealed that after L-Met supplementation polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) and tocopherol metabolites were lower across small intestinal segments, whereas monohydroxy fatty acids were increased in distal small intestine. Pigs supplemented with DL-HMTBA showed a pronounced shift of secondary bile acids (BA) and sphingosine metabolites from middle jejunum to ileum. In the amino acid super pathway, only histidine metabolism tended to be altered in DL-Met-supplemented pigs. Diet did not affect the expression of inflammation-related genes. These findings suggest that dietary supplementation of young pigs with different Met sources selectively alters lipid metabolism without consequences for inflammatory status.

description: Although transformational faulting in the rim of the metastable olivine wedge is hypothesized as a triggering mechanism of deep-focus earthquakes, there is no direct evidence of such rim. Variations of the b value – slope of the Gutenberg-Richter distribution – have been used to decipher triggering and rupture mechanisms of deep earthquakes. However, detection limits prevent full understanding of these mechanisms. Using the Japan Meteorological Agency catalog, we estimate b values of deep earthquakes in the northwestern Pacific Plate, clustered in four regions with unsupervised machine learning. The b-value analysis of Honshu and Izu deep seismicity reveals a kink at magnitude 3.7–3.8, where the b value abruptly changes from 1.4–1.7 to 0.6–0.7. The anomalously high b values for small earthquakes highlight enhanced transformational faulting, likely catalyzed by deep hydrous defects coinciding with the unstable rim of the metastable olivine wedge, the thickness of which we estimate at ∼1 km.

In a case-control study (30 case children with asthma and 38 controls) and over a 1-wk monitoring period, air sample collection was conducted in children’s bedrooms for the analysis of 12 volatile organic compounds (VOC), aldehydes, particulate matter (PM)2.5, PM10, bacteria, and fungi. Home exposures to indoor pollutants are similar for children with and without asthma, except for d-limonene. For both groups, most VOC were present at low concentrations (median < 5 µg/m3) and below the respective World Health Organization (WHO) guidelines. Concentrations of PM2.5, PM10, and bacteria were frequently higher than WHO/reference values (80, 25, and 60% of all studied dwellings, respectively). Concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) exceeding 1000 ppm were encountered in 60% of the homes. Although this study does not provide evidence of causative factors for asthmatic status, the postulation that poor indoor air quality in homes heightens the risk of allergic symptoms development among children is conceivable.

description: The objective of this experiment was to jointly assess the possible influences of aquafeed extrusion temperature and pellet size and uniformity on growth performance of juvenile hybrid Striped Bass (White Bass Morone chrysops × Striped Bass M. saxatilis). A diet formulated to meet or exceed the nutritional requirements of hybrid Striped Bass was coupled with different feed manufacturing strategies to yield a range of compositionally identical but physically distinct feeds. Batches of feed were extruded at 107 ± 6°C or 127 ± 3°C through dies estimated to yield pellets that were “small” (3 mm), “recommended” (4 mm), or “large” (5 mm) relative to the size ranges suggested for the target fish size. Portions of the uniformly small and large feeds were combined (25:75, 50:50, and 75:25 ratios of small : large pellets) to create additional mixed-sized feeds. Fish were stocked in a recirculating aquaculture system (fish size: 19.6 ± 0.7 g [mean ± SE]; 10 fish/tank) comprising thirty-six 119-L circular tanks, mechanical and biological filtration units, and a supplemental aeration system. Feeds were randomly assigned to triplicate tanks of fish (N = 3), and fish were fed to apparent satiation once daily for 8 weeks. Results indicated that extrusion temperature and, to a lesser extent, pellet size and uniformity affect the practical feeding value of hybrid Striped Bass feed. Although the effects were observed to be interactive and somewhat variable, there appears to be value in extruding the formulation tested at higher temperatures and producing uniform pellets of a size somewhat larger than is typically recommended for phase II hybrid Striped Bass.

description: Although Cheshire contains some of the major saltworks and the earliest purpose-built mechanised textile mills and industrial canals in Britain, study of the industrial period in the county (1750-1900) has been patchy. This thematic overview attempts to redress the balance and especially to highlight the contribution made over the last quarter century by archaeological fieldwork. Of set purpose, it is descriptive rather than analytical. Nevertheless, it is set within a framework of recent developments in methodology and theory, and suggestions are made of possible future research themes.

description: A hoard of five denarii of the Roman emperor Septimius Severus, dated AD 194--8, was found at Acton, near Nantwich, during a metal-detecting rally in December 2014. The find was reported to the Portable Antiquities Scheme Finds Liaison Officer, and subsequently to the coroner as treasure. This short note outlines the definition of 'treasure' under the 1996 Treasure Act, and describes and illustrates the coins and the conical lead container they were found in. The concealment of the coins in a container apparently made especially for the purpose suggests that it was a ritual deposit rather than a savings hoard that was intended to be recovered. LD

description: A watching brief by Professor N Higham during the redevelopment of farm buildings at Lea Manor Farm, south-east of Aldford, revealed a very small amount of evidence for medieval activity; extensive redevelopment throughout the 20th century may well have removed all traces of this period of occupation. Unexpectedly, however, evidence for Roman occupation in the form of ditches, other negative features, ceramic building material and pottery of the 1st to 4th centuries AD was discovered. Lea Manor Farm lies approximately 700 metres from the Roman road running from Chester towards Whitchurch and Wroxeter. Professor Higham has now proposed that a Roman farm or villa may have existed on the same area of ground as the Anglo-Saxon, medieval and modern occupation, making an important contribution to knowledge of early settlement in the area.

description: A Roman altar found in Foregate Street, Chester, in 1653 is now kept at the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford. Although its inscription is now barely legible, it was transcribed the day after discovery. The author discusses previous interpretations of the inscription, based primarily on the initial transcription, and makes his own examination. He concludes that the dedication of the altar is to 'Jupiter Tanarus', representing a blend of Roman and Celtic gods. LD

description: Production scheduling is a crucial aspect of the mining industry. An optimal and efficient production schedule can increase the profits manifold and reduce the amount of waste to be handled. Production scheduling for coal mines is necessary to maintain consistency in the quality and quantity parameters of coal supplied to power plants. Irregularity in the quality parameters of the coal can lead to heavy losses in coal-fired power plants. Moreover, the stockpiling of coal poses environmental and fire problems owing to low incubation periods. This article proposes a production scheduling formulation for open-pit coal mines including stockpiling and blending opportunities, which play a major role in maintaining the quality and quantity of supplied coal. The proposed formulation was applied to a large open-pit coal mine in India. This contribution provides an efficient production scheduling formulation for coal mines after utilizing the stockpile coal within the incubation periods with the maximization of discounted cash flows. At the same time, consistency is maintained in the quality and quantity of coal to power plants through blending and stockpiling options to ensure smooth functioning.
