title: Inclusive globalization: unpacking China's Belt and Road Initiative

description: China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a call for an open and inclusive (mutually beneficial) model of cooperative economic, political and cultural exchange (globalization) that draws on the deep-seated meanings of the ancient Silk Roads. While it reflects China’s rise as a global power, and its industrial redeployment, increased outward investment and need to diversify energy sources and routes, the BRI involves the establishment of a framework for open cooperation and new multilateral financial instruments designed to lay the infrastructural and industrial foundations to secure and solidify China’s relations with countries along the Silk Roads and to extend the march of modernization and poverty reduction to emerging countries.

title: Genotoxicity Expert Panel review: weight of evidence evaluation of the genotoxicity of glyphosate, glyphosate-based formulations, and aminomethylphosphonic acid

description: In 2015, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) published a monograph concluding there was strong evidence for genotoxicity of glyphosate and glyphosate formulations and moderate evidence for genotoxicity of the metabolite aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA). These conclusions contradicted earlier extensive reviews supporting the lack of genotoxicity of glyphosate and glyphosate formulations. The IARC Monograph concluded there was strong evidence of induction of oxidative stress by glyphosate, glyphosate formulations, and AMPA. The Expert Panel reviewed the genotoxicity and oxidative stress data considered in the IARC Monograph, together with other available data not considered by IARC. The Expert Panel defined and used a weight of evidence (WoE) approach that included ranking of studies and endpoints by the strength of their linkage to events associated with carcinogenic mechanisms. Importantly, the Expert Panel concluded that there was sufficient information available from a very large number of regulatory genotoxicity studies that should have been considered by IARC. The WoE approach, the inclusion of all relevant regulatory studies, and some differences in interpretation of individual studies led to significantly different conclusions by the Expert Panel compared with the IARC Monograph. The Expert Panel concluded that glyphosate, glyphosate formulations, and AMPA do not pose a genotoxic hazard and the data do not support the IARC Monograph genotoxicity evaluation. With respect to carcinogenicity classification and mechanism, the Expert Panel concluded that evidence relating to an oxidative stress mechanism of carcinogenicity was largely unconvincing and that the data profiles were not consistent with the characteristics of genotoxic carcinogens.

title: Immunoglobulin heavy light chain test quantifies clonal disease in patients with AL amyloidosis and normal serum free light chain ratio

description: <i>Background</i>: Serum and urine immunofixation electrophoreses (SIFE/UIFE) are used for clonal detection in plasma cell dyscrasias, while serum free light chain (sFLC) testing provides quantitation of clonal disease. Up to 20% of patients with light chain (AL) amyloidosis may present with normal FLC ratio (FLCr). <i>Methods</i>: We assessed the diagnostic, quantitative and prognostic potential of serum heavy light chain ratio (HLCr) in 199 untreated patients at initial evaluation. <i>Results</i>: An abnormal HLCr was found in 37.2%, abnormal FLCr in 81.9% and positivity by SIFE/UIFE in 94% of patients. HLCr together with SIFE/UIFE identified clonality in 94% patients; the combination with FLCr yielded 100% sensitivity. An HLCr abnormality was significantly over-represented in normal compared to abnormal FLCr group (63.9% versus 31.3%). HLCr did not predict overall survival (OS) (log rank, <i>p </i>=<i> </i>0.09), while an abnormal FLCr was associated with decreased OS (log rank, <i>p </i>=<i> </i>0.03). The combined use of both ratios trended toward increased OS in the abnormal HLCr/normal FLCr group (log rank, <i>p </i>=<i> </i>0.11; Wilcoxon, <i>p </i>=<i> </i>0.04). On multivariate analysis, HLCr was not predictive of OS, whereas an abnormal FLCr was associated with shorter OS (HR = 1.7, <i>p </i>=<i> </i>0.04). <i>Conclusions</i>: The HLC assay has potential as a supplemental test to quantify monoclonal protein in patients with normal FLCr results.

title: A new turtle taxon (Podocnemidoidea, Bothremydidae) reveals the oldest known dispersal event of the crown Pleurodira from Gondwana to Laurasia

description: Pan-Pleurodira is one of the two clades of extant turtles (i.e. Testudines). Its crown group, Pleurodira, has a Gondwanan origin being known from the Barremian. Cretaceous turtle fauna of Gondwana was composed almost exclusively of pleurodires. Extant pleurodires live in relatively warm regions, with a geographical distribution restricted to tropical regions that were part of Gondwana. Although pleurodires were originally freshwater forms, some clades have adapted to a nearshore marine lifestyle, which contributed to their dispersal. However, few lineages of Pleurodira reached Laurasian regions and no representatives have so far been described from the pre-Santonian of Laurasia, where the continental and coastal Cretaceous faunas of turtles consist of clades exclusive to this region. A new turtle, <i>Algorachelus peregrinus</i> gen. et sp. nov., is described here from the southern Laurasian Cenomanian site of Algora in Spain. Numerous remains, including a skull and well-preserved postcranial specimens, are attributed to this species. The abundant shell elements, much more numerous than those known in most members of pleurodiran clade Bothremydidae, allow its variability to be studied. The new taxon represents the oldest evidence of the occurrence of Pleurodira in Laurasia, and is the oldest genus of the abundant and diverse Bothremydodda so far described. Factors such as the relatively high Cenomanian temperatures, the adaptation of this Gondwanan clade to coastal environments, and the geographical proximity between the two landmasses may have contributed to its dispersal. This finding shows that the first dispersals of Pleurodira from Gondwana to Laurasia occurred much earlier than previously thought. http://zoobank.org/urn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:8FD358A5-53BD-4308-828A-AC6802184185

title: yorku.grassland.woodlot.sept27-2016.csv

description: On Tuesday, September 27<sup>th</sup>, 2016, at 3:00-4:30pm, an experiment testing the total number of birds, number of species, and frequency of that species between the Danby Woodlot and the Grasslands was carried out. The weather was 17 degrees Celsius; the wind speed was 18 km/h, and mostly cloudy skies. This experiment was conducted at the Danby Woodlot and Grasslands area, located at the York University Keele Campus (43.7 degrees North, 75.9 degrees West), between York Blvd and Keele St. It was predicted that there would be a greater number of birds in the Woodlot than the Grasslands. It was hypothesized that the frequency of seeing different bird species would be greater in the Woodlot because birds have their shelter and food in trees, which is necessary for different bird species to continue thriving. This experiment was carried out by placing a belt transect that was measured to be 25m, and waiting 5 minutes to observe the total number of birds, the total number of species, and the frequency of the species within the transect. This was done for a total of 5 times in the Woodlot area, and a total of 5 times in the Grassland area. 45 minutes were both equally spent in the Grassland and Woodlot area. The hypothesis was proven to be correct; there were more birds in total, more species, and the frequency of birds in a specific species was greater in the Woodlot area than the Grasslands, but the confounding variables that negatively affected the amount of birds that were seen while the experiment was being carried out were the wind and cool weather.

title: Understanding Today's Science with Help from Special Relativity and General Relativity

description: <b><i>d</i></b>This article began to take shape in my mind when I read an item in Astronomy magazine. That item mentioned how timing by GPS (the Global Positioning System) requires input from both Special Relativity - where time slows down fractionally because the satellites in orbit are fast-moving – and General Relativity, where the satellites' distance from Earth's gravity causes their time to speed up fractionally. This led to the conclusions that 1) the gravitational waves making up the gravity field are, as Einstein suggested in a paper written four years after publication of the general theory, involved in production of mass, 2) these waves participate with the other long-range force, electromagnetism, to also produce the two nuclear forces associated with the mass (making nuclear forces non-fundamental and the Higgs force another name for gravitational-electromagnetic coupling), 3) black holes are composed of gravitational and electromagnetic waves focused on them from deep space, and this accounts for their extreme gravity as well as extreme mass, 4) there's a link between the macroscopic black holes of astronomy and the subatomic gluons of particle physics, and 5) Einstein's contributions don't end with the two Relativities, or even the paper written 4 years after the general theory, but can be extended to his Unified Field Theory. His Unified Field might not be generally accepted today because it was incomplete, just as he described quantum mechanics as incomplete. In 1957, Charles Misner and John Wheeler, in the “Annals of Physics”, claimed Albert Einstein’s latest equations demonstrated the unified field theory. However, the necessary completion of the unified field may not exclusively lie with the mathematics Einstein seemed to increasingly rely on as he aged but with concepts in computer science as well as intuitions in the mathematical branch called topology. Computer science's binary digits (bits) result from apparently random Virtual Particles that conceal Chaos theory's "order within disorder". These bits are encoded in programs taking the form of topology's Mobius strips, and these combine into four-dimensional figure-8 Klein bottles that make particles sensible (bottles affect every sense and scientific probe because the pulses forming them also form the complete properties of the Gravitational-ElectroMagnetic Field). The bottles also explain space-time's positive and negative curvatures, as well as the flatness of infinity/eternity. Einstein was a Superman at exploring new ideas in his youth. Had electronic computers been invented 30 or 40 years earlier, it appears likely we’d be living with the fruits of the unified field now. PS This article also mentions Hawking radiation, spin, superconductivity, imaginary time, complex number plane, quark-gluon plasma, antigraviton, shape of space, tachyons, dark energy, dark matter, antimatter, etc.<b></b><i></i><sub></sub><sup></sup><br>
