title: Glacial geomorphology of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, Central Asia

description: In this article, we present a map of the glacial geomorphology of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, covering an area of almost 600,000 km<sup>2</sup>. Although numerous studies provide evidence for restricted Pleistocene glaciations in this area, others have hypothesized the past existence of an extensive ice sheet. To provide a framework for accurate glacial reconstructions of the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains, we present a map at a scale of 1:1,000,000 based on a mapping from 30 m resolution ASTER DEM and 15 m/30 m resolution Landsat ETM+ satellite imagery. Four landform classes have been mapped: marginal moraines, glacial lineations, hummocky terrain, and glacial valleys. Our mapping reveals an abundance of glacial erosional and depositional landforms. The distribution of these glacial landforms indicates that the Altai and Western Sayan Mountains have experienced predominantly alpine-style glaciations, with some small ice caps centred on the higher mountain peaks. Large marginal moraine complexes mark glacial advances in intermontane basins. By tracing the outer limits of present-day glaciers, glacial valleys, and moraines, we estimate that the past glacier coverage have totalled to 65,000 km<sup>2</sup> (10.9% of the mapped area), whereas present-day glacier coverage totals only 1300 km<sup>2</sup> (0.2% of the mapped area). This demonstrates the usefulness of remote sensing techniques for mapping the glacial geomorphology in remote mountain areas and for quantifying the past glacier dimensions. The glacial geomorphological map presented here will be used for further detailed reconstructions of the paleoglaciology and paleoclimate of the region.

title: Early ovariectomy reveals the germline encoding of the “natural” mammalian anti-A-reactive IgM reflecting developmental malignancy.

description: The germline encoding of a non-immune immunoglobulin M (IgM) molecule in mammals was experimentally documented for the first time as a result of the specifically timed ovariectomy of C57BL/10 mice. The target of this innate antibody involves a trans-species developmental antigen that signifies malignancy when expressed in any non-developmental tissue. Although ovariectomy and castration result in uncontrolled and/or enhanced humoral and cellular immunity involving increased weights of the spleen and thymus with pronounced B and T cell production, the development of mercaptoethanol-sensitive, complement-binding, non-immune anti-A reactivity in murine plasma was not enhanced after an ovariectomy that was performed in C57BL/10 mice prior to the onset of puberty. This non-immune murine anti-A, which is complementary to the trans-species, syngeneic ovarian GalNAc-glycan-bearing glycolipids and distinct from the cross-reactive adaptive anti-A antibody, was strongly downregulated or did not appear in plasma of animals ovariectomized at the age of 20 days. Thus, contrary to our previous view, this reactivity is unlikely to originate from a somatic, primary immune or autoimmune response. All of the murine tissues expressed the species-specific Forssman<i> </i>reactivity, and further A-like structures were identified in the male and female reproductive and endodermal organs by reaction with innate human anti-A antibody, while the murine anti-A was exclusively inhibited by syngeneic ovarian glycolipids. Moreover, the early ovarian tissue, which represents a last evolutionary and/or developmental location, showed a developmental polymorphism characterized by reactivity to the lectin from <i>Dolichos biflorus</i> and the agglutinin from <i>Helix pomatia </i>indicating the functional involvement of the <i>O</i>-GalNAc-determined mucin-type A-like, Tn and T (Thomsen-Friedenreich) epitopes that signify malignancy when accumulated and expressed in non-developmental tissues.

title: Efficient Sequential Monte Carlo Sampling for Continuous Monitoring of a Radiation Situation

description: The monitoring of a radiation situation around a nuclear power plant is a demanding task due to the high uncertainty of all involved variables and limited availability of measurements from a sparse monitoring network. Assessment of the situation requires experienced specialists who may be unavailable during critical times. Our goal is to provide an automated method of instant radiation situation assessment that does not underestimate its uncertainty. We propose a state-space model based on an atmospheric dispersion model, local correction of a numerical weather model, and a temporal model of the released activity. This state-space model is highly nonlinear and evaluation of the likelihood function requires extensive numerical calculations. The sequential Monte Carlo method is one of the few options for estimating the state recursively. Since the simple bootstrap approach yields an extremely computationally demanding algorithm, we investigate the use of existing techniques for the design of a more efficient proposal density. We propose combining the Laplace approximation and various population Monte Carlo methods. Data from an existing monitoring network were used to calibrate relevant parts of the model. Performance of the methods in a real radiation emergency situation is evaluated in a simulated experiment due to the lack of real data. The proposed tailor-made proposal was found to be much more computationally efficient than previously published methods. The adaptive Monte Carlo methods thus represent a compelling computational approach for the evaluation of probabilistic environmental models. The data used and a Python implementation of the methods are available as supplementary material online.
