title: Prediction of apoptosis protein subcellular localization via heterogeneous features and hierarchical extreme learning machine

description: Apoptosis is a fundamental process controlling normal tissue homeostasis by regulating a balance between cell proliferation and death. Predicting the subcellular location of apoptosis proteins is very helpful for understanding the mechanism of programmed cell death. Predicting protein subcellular localization with bioinformatic techniques provides quite a few opportunities in related fields. In this work, we propose the use of a hierarchical extreme learning machine (H-ELM) to make a classification of high-dimensional input data without demanding a dimension reduction process, which yields acceptable results. An attempt is made to extract features from different perspectives, and a feature fusion process is accomplished. Regarding the position-specific scoring matrix, the first type depicts the correlation within the sequence with the autocorrelation function for relatively random sections from the sequence; and the second type is the Kullback-Leibler (K-L) divergence of the two distributions formed by the amino acids’ constitutuent proportions. It is illustrated in an experiment with features from different sources mixed by simple concatenation yielding a poor result, but the synthetical feature fused with stochastic nonlinear embedding (t-SNE) greatly improved the classification. Finally, the highest overall accuracy of ZD98 is 87.5% by adjusting the hyper-parameters of H-ELM, and of CL317 is 92.4%.

title: Euripides Alcestis for Bradfield

description: <b>Performing materials for Euripides, <i>Alcestis</i>, lines 212–80, 394–415 and 860–932</b><i>by Barnaby Brown & Armand D'Angour<br></i><i>Developed for performances at Bradfield College, UK, </i><i>22–27 June 2019</i><br><i>Alcestis</i> was first produced in Athens in 438 BCE. Only the words survive, but the ancient Greek language embeds a tonal contour and rhythmic information that we have respected in this new-music experiment. The vocal parts are at a pitch suitable for accompaniment on a reconstruction of the Megara "man's" aulos, an instrument probably made in the late fourth century BCE, recovered from a grave in 2005. As well as taking this superlative archaeological find and Euripides' words into account, this experiment respects the earliest written evidence concerning musical behaviour in Greek drama, notably the tonal system for aulos-based music known as the Aristides scales.<br>

title: Congenital Ocular Neuromyotonia with Partial Third Nerve Palsy

description: <b>Purpose:</b> We report the first case of congenital ocular neuromyotonia (ONM) and the results of strabismus surgery for this patient’s co-existing cranial nerve (CN) III palsy. <b>Patients and method:</b> The patient presented at 18 months with strabismus that had reportedly been present since the time of birth. On exam, she had persistent exotropia (RXT) and hypertropia (RHT) with episodes of esotropia in the right eye that could be evoked by sustained left gaze. A diagnosis of ONM with partial CN III palsy was made. T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery magnetic resonance imaging failed to reveal intracranial pathology. <b>Results:</b> Gaze induced intermittent esotropia resolved with carbamazepine. Surgery was performed to improve the patient’s RXT and RHT. Post-operatively, the patient’s RXT had improved from 12 to 15 prism diopters (∆) at near and 20∆ at a distance to 10∆ RXT at near with no horizontal deviation at distance. Her deviation has remained stable for 13 years, as has her neurological exam and good state of health. <b>Conclusion:</b> This case demonstrates that ONM may present congenitally and adds to the body of knowledge regarding surgical outcomes on concurrent CN palsies in these patients.

title: Phylogeography of the endemic New Zealand tree <i>Entelea arborescens</i> (whau; Malvaceae)

description: We investigated the phylogeography of the New Zealand endemic monotypic coastal tree <i>Entelea arborescens</i> (whau; Malvaceae). The distribution of whau in the southern North Island and South Island has been suggested to result from pre-European Māori cultivation. Whau wood is extremely buoyant and was used to make fishing floats and rafts. We sequenced two chloroplast loci and the nuclear ITS region and genotyped nine microsatellite loci from samples collected across the species’ range. The different genetic markers produced concordant results and revealed two principal genetic clusters, which were estimated to have diverged during the Pleistocene. The distribution of these clusters shows an east–west split across the northern North Island, which does not correspond to the phylogeographic patterns observed to date for other New Zealand coastal plant species and is difficult to reconcile with any known geological or environmental events. Both clusters were represented in the putative translocated populations indicating that these southern populations had multiple origins. However, the wide distribution of these genetic clusters prevents determination of the source of these southern populations and a natural origin cannot be excluded.

title: Potential Welfare Impacts of Chase and Capture of Small Cetaceans during Drive Hunts in Japan

description: Drive hunts are a method to herd, capture and kill small cetaceans (whales and dolphins) in coastal waters of some countries including Japan and the Faroe Islands. In Japan, these methods are often associated with the acquisition of live dolphins for international marine parks and aquaria. During the hunts, dolphins are herded by a flotilla of fishing vessels and loud underwater noise created by fishermen banging hammers on metal poles. The prolonged and strenuous chase and use of sound barriers to herd, capture, and restrain the dolphins can result in acute stress and injury. The authors review physiological and behavioral data pertaining to chase, encirclement, and live capture of dolphins and draw comparisons between chase and capture data for marine and terrestrial species. This analysis raises substantial welfare concerns associated with the hunts and acquisition of dolphins from such capture operations. The authors assert that this data detailing the negative impacts of chase, herding and handling (capture) of small cetaceans renders these hunts inherently inhumane and should inform policy relating to the collection and management of dolphins in the wild.
