The Human Remains Digital Library
No full textThis open access library aims to assist church stakeholders, archaeologists, and researchers. It provides heritage advocates and policymakers much-needed evidence to inform their strategies and responses at local and national levels. The Human Remains Digital Library is the first historical collection of material relating to the management of human remains in Britain from the early medieval period through to the end of the Victorian era. It has extracts from a wide variety of genres, forms of writing, and media, spanning thirteen centuries of history. It reveals for the first time the complex attitudes towards different types of burials over time and around Britain; from saints and royals to military members, ordinary people, criminals and more. The extracts in our library have been sourced from a number of archives, libraries, and repositories. Most of these are digital collections and the extracts are from documents that are out of copyright or under Creative Commons Licence. We have also included extracts taken from physical documents as well, providing the first digital version. We do not provide the original full text as it usually contains significant amounts of irrelevant information for this project. However, the bibliographic entry for each extract allows users to find the original sources themselves.
Where an extract was not available in modern English, we have translated the extract ourselves and the translator is credited in the library

Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry can reliably age field caught malaria vectors (and has the potential to simultaneously also identify species and infection rate)
No full textAbstract
A method to reliably predict the age structure of malaria mosquitoes would be valuable in predicting the efficacy of vector control tools and provide important insights to inform models of malaria transmission. We have previously shown that Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry could determine the age and species of laboratory reared mosquitoes and culicine mosquitoes from a river estuary in the United Kingdom. Here we investigated the robustness of this methodology by introducing additional environmental, genetic and physiological diversity in experiments using laboratory reared and field collected Anopheles gambiae mosquitoes. REIMS could reliably separate mosquitoes into 3 or 5 age groups with > 80 % accuracy using mosquitoes of mixed physiological status reared in insectaries or from larval collections reared to adults in semi-field stations in Burkina Faso. In addition, REIMS could distinguish mosquitoes that were nulliparous from those that had undergone one or two oviposition cycles with an accuracy of 87 %. In a proof of principle experiment we demonstrate that REIMS can readily distinguish between mosquitoes infected with Plasmodium berghei from non-infected. Furthermore, we show that age grading is possible using only mosquito abdomens, leaving biomass for further molecular biological experiments. Finally, we used the model generated from mixed field collections to estimate the age structure of mosquitoes collected from inside houses and were able to show a shifting age structure matching the time retained in the insectary post collections
Raw ddPCR abundance of UCYN-A2 and UCYN-A1 from DY167
No full textAbundances of B. bigelowii/UCYN-A1 and B. bigelowii//UCYN-A2/A3/A4 were estimated from 11 surface water filtered seawater samples (< 3m, Sterivex 0.22 µm)using digital droplet PCR (ddPCR) using the assays originally developed for Taqman® quantitative PCR by Church et al., (2005) and Thompson et al., (2014), respectively. All reaction conditions, thermocycling parameters, thresholding and calculations of the limit of detection and limit of quantitation are described in Gradoville et al., (2020). Note that the abundances determined using the UCYN-A2/A3/A4 assay likely represent both UCYN-A2 and UCYN-A4, both of which were recovered via nifH amplicon HTS

Participant Dataset of My Thesis Titled Developing Intercultural Communicative Competence (ICC) in Mandarin as a Foreign Language in the United Kingdom
No full textThis dataset comprises qualitative and quantitative data collected for a PhD study on intercultural communication competence (ICC) and Chinese language learning. The dataset includes anonymised interview transcriptions, classroom recording transcriptions, participant learning journals, class quizzes, and survey responses. These materials capture participants’ language development, intercultural reflections, and learning experiences throughout the course. The data were generated and analysed to explore the relationship between language learning, intercultural training, and the development of ICC among adult learners of Mandarin Chinese

The seminal proteome of a monandrous fly, Drosophila subobscura
No full textWhen females mate with multiple males, ejaculates from different partners compete within the female reproductive tract. Males gain a competitive advantage by transferring seminal fluid proteins (Sfps) that manipulate female post-mating responses, such as reducing female propensity to remate. But in monandrous species, where females typically mate only once, post-mating sexual selection is absent, raising key questions about the complexity and identity of Sfps in monandrous seminal proteomes. To address this, we characterised the seminal proteome of the monandrous fly Drosophila subobscura. Using long-read RNA-seq, we created improved gene models for the D. subobscura accessory gland and ejaculatory duct, then, using a label-free quantitative proteomics approach, we identified 172 Sfps. This number is comparable to the 153 Sfps previously reported in polyandrous D. melanogaster using a similar approach. The D. subobscura seminal proteome contains all the D. melanogaster sex peptide network – proteins that control the female post-mating response – and many proteins known to be involved in post-copulatory sexual selection. We also found a surprising over-abundance of proteins previously shown to be down-regulated under monogamy selection (where sexual conflict is removed) in D. melanogaster. Collectively, the patterns suggest that the D. subobscura seminal proteome is characterised more by conflict than cooperation, and despite differences in mating systems, is compositionally similar to that of D. melanogaster. Hence, sexual conflict could be pervasive in the seminal fluid of monandrous species, shaping a complex proteome rich in receptivity-inhibiting Sfps
