Local Authority Finance: Income - Housing services (GFRA only) (FIN_07_41)
No full textSummary
This indicator describes the income generated from the provision of Housing services (GFRA only) by every Local Authority in England since 2007. Housing services income is calculated from any sales, fees and charges, as well as other types of income that are associated with delivering such services.
Technical description
The indicator was compiled from annual revenue outturn estimates of Local Authority (LA) revenue expenditure and financing. The Housing services income is calculated from the sum of a) sales, fees and charges and b) other types of income generated by these services, and thus does not include central government funding, capital gains or council tax. Income values are expressed in thousands (£) and presented on the basis of financial years, i.e. from April 1st to March 31st. Since some services are provided in Upper Tier and others in Lower Tier LAs, individual income figures from Upper Tier LAs were distributed to Lower Tier LAs based on annual population ratios (indicator FIN_07_41L), and Lower Tier LA income was distributed to Upper Tier LAs by aggregating (indicator FIN_07_41U). Income values from historic LA geography have been referenced to the 2018 LA geography. This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs based on population ratios for that year. The services income generated is expressed as the total amount as well as per capita, for direct comparisons. However, annual figures were not adjusted for inflation
Local Authority Finance: Income - Total services (FIN_07_34)
No full textSummary
This indicator describes the total income generated from all services provided by every Local Authority in England since 2007. Total income is calculated from any sales, fees and charges, as well as other types of income that are associated with delivering such services.

Since some services are provided in Upper Tier and others in Lower Tier LAs, individual income figures from Upper Tier LAs were distributed to Lower Tier LAs based on annual population ratios (indicator FIN_07_34L), and Lower Tier LA income was distributed to Upper Tier LAs by aggregating (indicator FIN_07_34U).

This includes changes in name/codes, merges, or splits of old LAs to new LAs based on population ratios for that year.

Rapid identification of mosquito species, sex and age by mass spectrometric analysis. RAW MS data files
No full textThis dataset is the entire assembly of raw data files, collected on a Waters Synapt G2si with a REIMS source, that is associated with this publication.
Abstract
Background: A rapid, accurate method to identify, and to age grade mosquito populations would be a major advance in predicting the risk of pathogen transmission and evaluating the public health impact of vector control interventions. Whilst newer chemometric methods show promise, current approaches rely on challenging morphological techniques or simple binary classifications that cannot identify the subset of the population old enough to be infectious. In this study the ability of Rapid Evaporative Ionisation Mass Spectrometry (REIMS) to identify the species, sex and age of mosquitoes reared in the laboratory and wild was investigated.
Results
The accuracy of REIMs in identifying morphologically identical members of the Anopheles gambiae complex exceeded 96 %. Age separation into 3 different age categories (X, Y, Z ) was achieved with 92 % accuracy, with no reduction in predictive value after sample storage for up to 14 days. When tested on wild mosquitoes from the UK, REIMS was also able to determine the species and age of the specimens with accuracies of 91 and 90 % respectively.
Conclusions
The accuracy of REIMS to resolve the species and age of Anopheles mosquitoes is comparable to that achieved by chemometric approaches and the processing time and ease of use represent significant advantages over current, dissection-based methods. Importantly the accuracy was maintained when using wild mosquitoes reared under differing environmental conditions, and when mosquitoes were stored frozen or desiccated. This high throughput approach thus has potential to conduct rapid, real-time monitoring of vector populations, providing entomological evidence of the impact of alternative interventions
Comparing full-field data from structural components with complicated geometries
No full textA new decomposition algorithm based on QR factorisation is introduced for processing and comparing irregularly shaped stress and deformation datasets found in structural analysis. The algorithm improves the comparison of two-dimensional data fields from the surface of components where data is missing from the field of view due to obstructed measurement systems or component geometry that results in areas where no data is present. The technique enables the comparison of these irregularly shaped datasets without the need for interpolation or warping of the data. This ensures comparisons are only made between the available data in each dataset and thus similarity metrics are not biased by missing data. The decomposition and comparison technique has been applied during an impact experiment, a modal analysis, and a fatigue study, with the stress and displacement data obtained from finite element analysis, digital image correlation and thermoelastic stress analysis. The results demonstrate that the technique can be used to process data from a range of sources and suggests the technique has the potential for use in a wide variety of applications
Fine-scale spatial segregation in a pelagic seabird driven by differential use of tidewater glacier fronts
No full textIn colonially breeding marine predators, individual movements and colonial segregation are influenced by seascape characteristics. Tidewater glacier fronts are important features of the Arctic seascape and are often described as foraging hotspots. Albeit their documented importance for wildlife, little is known about their structuring effect on arctic predator movements and space use. In this study, we tested the hypothesis that tidewater glacier fronts can influence marine bird foraging patterns and drive spatial segregation among adjacent colonies. We analysed movements of black-legged kittiwakes (Rissa tridactyla) in a glacial fjord by tracking breeding individuals from five colonies. Although breeding kittiwakes were observed to travel up to ca. 280 km from the colony, individuals were more likely to use glacier fronts located closer to their colony and rarely used glacier fronts located farther away than 18 km. Such variation in the use of glacier fronts created fine-scale spatial segregation among the four closest (ca. 7 km distance on average) kittiwake colonies. Overall, our results support the hypothesis that spatially predictable foraging patches like glacier fronts can have strong structuring effects on predator movements and can modulate the magnitude of intercolonial spatial segregation in central-place foragers
Alternative developmental and transcriptomic responses to host plant water limitation in a butterfly metapopulation
No full textThe dataset is from a study examining the effects of host plant water stress on the developmental and transcriptomic responses of its specialist Lepidopteran herbivore. The study combines host plant metabolic profiling with development assays and full-transcriptome sequencing of herbivore larvae. First, we profiled metabolic differences between well-watered and water-limited ribwort plantain (Plantago lanceolata) using proton nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-NMR). Second, we tested how performance of developing Glanville fritillary (Melitaea cinxia) larvae was affected by host plant water limitation experienced at different larval developmental stages. Third, we examined larval gene regulatory responses to water limited host plants by sequencing full transcriptomes of 77 female larvae (RNA seq). Finally, to examine intrapopulation variation in the responses of the larvae, we compared the phenotypic and transcriptomic responses across full-sib families originating from different parts of the metapopulation. In this dataset, we provide data for the P. lanceolata metabolite responses to water limitation and developmental responses of the M. cinxia larvae to feeding on water limited P. lanceolata. The transcriptomic data are available from NCBI's Gene Expression Omnibus, with the accession number GSE159376
