Genotype data for a set of 163 worldwide populations
No full textHere is a combined dataset of genetic data on 2,643 individuals from 163 worldwide human populations. These genotypes were all generated on Illumina chips (550, 610, 660) for multiple different studies. The two main papers that this dataset was compiled for are: Hellenthal, et al 2014 A Genetic Atlas of Human Admixture History, Science; and Busby, et al 2015 The role of recent admixture in forming the contemporary West Eurasian genomic landscape, Current Biology.The data are in PLINK format and the BusbyWorldwidePopulations.csv file outlines where the different datasets come from. Note that because these two datasets were combined together, not all populations are typed on the same set of SNPs. We have included genotype data on 523,443 SNPs, of which 441,038 are genotyped on at least 97.5% of individuals.Therefore, additional QC steps are required to filter this set down to high quality calls, depending on the subset of samples that are required. Complete information about the populations used is available in the various publications that are outlined in the associated paper.Note that these same populations are available elsewhere and this dataset represents that compiled for the above mentioned papers
Orthogonally Bi-Functional Fluorescent Zeolite-L Micro-crystals
No full textMicrocrystals of zeolite L are functionalized with two different fluorescent dyes in a spatially resolved manner. The multiple functionalities and the selective derivatization of the channel entrances and of the coat of the zeolites result in interesting photophysical behavior as well as potential uses. The concept shown for the dyes can in principle be applied to any type of molecule

Forewing costal margin approximately straight, distal margin slightly convex, apex pointed; hindwing anal margin convex, apex rounded, and tornus formed into a round lobe with a short triangular tail extending from vein Cu 2; venation typical for genus. Dorsal surface: Both wings dark iridescent blue, except for a narrow black border at distal margin that broadens at apex, a very narrow black border at costal margin of forewing, a broader black border at costal margin of hindwing (with blue not extending above vein Rs in apex), and a gray hindwing anal fold, hindwing tornal lobe suffused with dark red scaling; forewing androconial cluster appears to be a scent pad, with very densely layered, elongate, smoothtipped black scales, scent pad broadly triangular and positioned in upper distal corner of discal cell (Fig. 2 C); fringe on both wings black, with a few white scales at tip and base of hindwing tail. Ventral surface: Ground color of both wings pale brown, becoming paler towards anal margin of forewing and darker towards base of hindwing, which reflects a bluish green iridescence when tilted 45 °; discal cell ends marked by a thin rufous brown line; broader rufous brown postdiscal bands have an illdefined proximal edge and a sharply defined distal edge with a fine line of black and red and then dirty white scaling, straight forewing band extends diagonally from costa to vein Cu 2, broader and very jagged hindwing band extends from costa to vein Cu 2 and then turns sharply towards anal margin to become poorly defined beyond vein 2 A; broad, diffuse band of scattered gray scales between postdiscal band and wing base on hindwing and between postdiscal and submarginal bands on both wings; thin, undulating, reddish brown submarginal band extends on forewing from costal margin to vein Cu 2, and on hindwing from apex to tornus, hindwing band becomes red in tornus, with a few white scales at wing margin and a large black patch immediately distally, small dark brown marginal spots more prominent on hindwing; fringe on both wings rufous brown, becoming red in hindwing tornus. Head: Labial palpi brown dorsally, gray and brown speckled ventrally; second segment with long, dense, ventrally directed scales; third segment short, pointed slightly downwards; eyes brown and densely setose, surrounded by pale gray scaling; frons with long, dense, dark gray and white setae; antennae 50–60 % length of forewing, segments brown with darker sclerotization around tip and white scaling at base, white scaling more widespread ventrally on segments immediately before clubs, clubs broad and black with orange tips. Body: Thorax dull blue gray dorsally and grayish ventrally; tegula dull blue gray; all legs grayish; abdomen predominantly iridescent blue dorsally, and entirely brown ventrally. Genitalia (Figs. 3 F,G,H): Uncus rectangular with a broad medial indentation dorsally; gnathos smoothly rounded at elbow, constricted in diameter before tip; tegumen enlarged into a broadly rounded posterioventral projection twice width of lower portion of vinculum, small saccus is rectangular in ventral view and extends at approximately 90 ° from vinculum; heavily sclerotized valvae have a prominent lateral flange at base and in lateral view have a smoothly convex posterioventral margin ending in a slightly projecting, rounded tip, with a prominent “brow” above it, valvae slightly concave dorsally and joined at anteriodorsal margin by a very narrow area of membranous tissue; aedeagus long and approximately uniformly narrow throughout, with a slightly upturned posterior portion and a blunt angular tip, ductus ejaculatorius exits anterior region of aedeagus from a very elongate dorsal area immediately before rounded anterior aedeagal tip (caecum), two cornuti present very similar in size, shape and position to those of P. juliae; dorsal posterior tip of eighth abdominal tergite produced into a short (approximately 20 % of total tergite length), narrow, downwardly curved, slightly bulboustipped, posterior projection. Female: Unknown. Type material.— Holotype ɗ, ECUADOR: ZamoraChinchipe, Río San Francisco, ZamoraLoja rd., 3 ° 58.7 ’S, 79 °05.1’W, 1900 m, 7 Oct (R. C. Busby) (USNM). Etymology. — This species is named for the third author’s (RCB) wife, Andrea Martinson, on whose birthday the unique holotype was collected. Diagnosis.— Penaincisalia andreae appears to be the sister species to P. juliae, based on the fact that both species share a uniquely modified eighth male abdominal tergite (see the species account of P. juliae), but it is otherwise much more similar to P. libertada. It is distinguished externally from that species only by its larger size, and by having unicolorous dorsal blue iridescence, and, at least in the specimens available, more prominent basal and postdiscal bands of diffuse gray scaling. Its male genitalia are quite distinct though, differing from those of P. libertada by having a smoothly curving instead of angular upper vinculum, an upturned tip to the aedeagus, and valvae with an entirely convex, instead of “S”shaped, ventral margin, which ends in only a very small and rounded, instead of elongate and angular, posteriorly projecting tip, with a prominent “brow” above it. Biology.— This species is known only from the cloud forest type locality at 1900 m. The holotype was attracted to a rotting fish baited trap placed about 7 m above the ground on a wide, forested hillside trail. Distribution.— Penaincisalia andreae is currently known only from the Zamora valley in southeastern Ecuador (ZamoraChinchipe) (see Fig. 5).Published as part of Hall, Jason P. W., Willmott, Keith R. & Busby, Robert C., 2005, Five new Penaincisalia species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Eumaeini) from the Andes of southern Ecuador and northern Peru, pp. 1-20 in Zootaxa 797 on pages 12-14, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17055

Ventral surface: Ground color of both wings brown, becoming paler towards anal margin and darker towards base of forewing, scattered red scaling confined to apex of forewing but widespread across distal third and costal half of hindwing; discal cell ends marked by a narrow “V”shaped line, brown on forewing and reddish on hindwing; similarly narrow reddish brown postdiscal bands generally have an illdefined proximal edge and a distal edge crisply defined by a fine line of darker and then gray scaling, slightly jagged forewing band extends diagonally from costa to vein Cu 2, very jagged hindwing band extends from costa to vein Cu 2 and then turns sharply towards anal margin, dark gray brown area extends from hindwing postdiscal band below vein M 3 to wing base and then along basal fifth of wing to costa; reddish brown submarginal spots prominent in apical half of forewing and slightly fainter between apex and tornus of hindwing, marginal band gray with dark brown spots within; forewing fringe brown, hindwing checkered reddish brown and dirty white. Head: Labial palpi a speckled mixture of brown and gray setae, ventral setae very long; third segment short, pointed slightly downwards; eyes brown and densely setose, surrounded by gray scaling; frons with long, dense, brown and gray setae; antennae 60 % length of forewing, segments brown with darker brown scaling around tip and white scaling at base (especially prominent ventrally and near clubs), spatulate clubs black dorsally and rufous brown ventrally. Body: Thorax dull blue gray dorsally and brown ventrally; tegula dull blue gray; all legs grayish brown; abdomen brown with dull iridescent blue scaling dorsally, and orangebrown ventrally. Genitalia (Fig. 4 A,B): Uncus rectangular with a broad and shallow medial indentation dorsally; gnathos smoothly rounded at elbow, constricted in diameter before tip; tegumen enlarged into an elongate, rectangular, posterioventral projection four times width of lower portion of vinculum, which extends ventrally to overlap upper third of valvae, large and elongate saccus that is rectangular in ventral view extends at approximately 130 ° from vinculum; valvae in lateral view short and broadly triangular, with a straight dorsal margin, a smoothly convex ventral margin, and a pointed tip, valvae joined at anteriodorsal margin by membranous tissue; aedeagus very long and narrow, with its anterior third slightly diagonal and the remainder horizontal except for an upturned tip, which is flared and angular, ductus ejaculatorius exits anterior region of aedeagus from a very elongate dorsal area immediately before rounded anterior aedeagal tip (caecum), two cornuti present in distal portion of aedeagus when vesica uneverted, first a narrow, slightly concave and serratetipped rod positioned dorsally in posterior tip of aedeagus, and second a very short, slightly bulboustipped and dorsally serrate spine positioned below posterior tip of first cornutus; eighth abdominal tergite a simple rectangle. Female: Unknown. Type material.— Holotype ɗ, ECUADOR: Loja, km. 10 LojaZamora rd., 3 ° 59.10 'S, 79 ° 8.55 'W, 2600 m, Nov (I. Aldas & R. C. Busby) (USNM). Paratypes: ECUADOR: Loja, 1 ɗ, same data as holotype (RCB); 1 ɗ, km. 7 Loja Zamora rd., 3 ° 59.25 'S, 79 ° 9.2 'W, 2500 m, Oct (I. Aldas & R. C. Busby) (RCB); Cerro Palma, km. 27 LojaCuenca rd., 3000 m, Nov (I. Aldas & R. C. Busby), 3 ɗ (RCB), 1 ɗ (MECN). Etymology. — This species is named for our good friend Ismael Aldas Villafuerte, who collected the first known specimens. Diagnosis.— Penaincisalia ismaeli appears to be the sister species to P. balzapamba Johnson, 1992, as both species have an indistinguishable ventral wing pattern and a unique male genital valve shape within the genus short and broadly triangular with only a tiny posterior projection at the tip. Both species also have moreorless the longest aedeagi in the genus. It should be noted that Johnson’s (1992) adult (male and female) and male genitalia illustrations of Abloxurina amatista are actually referrable to male P. balzapamba. Penaincisalia ismaeli differs from P. balzapamba by being slightly larger (forewing length 12–14 mm instead of 11–13 mm), and by having a slightly larger forewing scent pad, bluish purple instead of purple dorsal forewing iridescence, lustrous blue instead of dull purple dorsal hindwing iridescence, a slightly broader black distal border in the subapex of the dorsal hindwing, and a few gray scales instead of numerous reddish brown scales in the middle of the tornus on the dorsal hindwing. Additionally, P. i s m a e l i consistently has a slightly scalloped distal hindwing margin with a checkered brown and white fringe, whereas this trait is prevalent only in southern Ecuadorian specimens of P. balzapamba, with those from further north possessing a straighter distal hindwing margin that is largely brown. The male genitalia of the two species do not differ significantly. Biology.— This species inhabits elfin cloud forest from 2500 to 3000 m. Males were encountered in Ecuador perching as solitary individuals or in small groups on hilltops, on bushes 2–4 m above the ground during the afternoon. Distribution.— Penaincisalia ismaeli currently is known only from extreme southern Ecuador (Loja), but almost certainly ranges into northern Peru (see Fig. 5). It is sympatric there with its sister species P. balzapamba, and both species can be found flying on the same hilltops.Published as part of Hall, Jason P. W., Willmott, Keith R. & Busby, Robert C., 2005, Five new Penaincisalia species (Lepidoptera: Lycaenidae: Eumaeini) from the Andes of southern Ecuador and northern Peru, pp. 1-20 in Zootaxa 797 on pages 16-18, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.17055
George B. Christian letter to Warren G. Harding, September 21, 1907
No full textThis letter from "George Jr.," probably Warren G. Harding's personal secretary George B. Christian Jr., to Harding discusses Harding's request for funds and personal business.
Warren G. Harding, who served as 29th president of the United States from 1921-1923, was born near Marion, Ohio, in 1865. At age 14, Harding attended Ohio Central College, where he edited the campus newspaper and became an accomplished public speaker. He married Florence Kling de Wolfe in 1891, and embarked on his political career in 1898 by winning a seat in the Ohio legislature for two terms. Harding became Lieutenant Governor in 1903 for two years before returning to the newspaper business. While unsuccessful in a run for governor in 1910, Harding won election to the U.S. Senate in 1914. Political insider Harry Daugherty began promoting Harding for the Republican presidential nomination in 1920. His campaign, known as “The Front Porch Campaign,” was centered on low-key speeches given from his home in Marion, Ohio, pledging to return the country to “normalcy.” Harding easily won the election, gaining 61 percent of the popular vote. On August 2, 1923, Harding died from a massive heart attack and is entombed in the Marion Cemetery
Moral Movements and Foreign Policy
No full textWhy do advocacy campaigns succeed in some cases but fail in others? What conditions motivate states to accept commitments championed by principled advocacy movements? Joshua W. Busby sheds light on these core questions through an investigation of four cases - developing-country debt relief, climate change, AIDS, and the International Criminal Court - in the G-7 advanced industrialized countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States). Drawing on hundreds of interviews with policy practitioners, he employs qualitative, comparative case study methods, including process-tracing and typologies, and develops a framing/gatekeepers argument, emphasizing the ways in which advocacy campaigns use rhetoric to tap into the main cultural currents in the countries where they operate. Busby argues that when values and costs potentially pull in opposing directions, values will win if domestic gatekeepers who are able to block policy change believe that the values at stake are sufficiently important.</jats:p

Unravelling the hidden ancestry of American admixed populations.
No full textThe movement of people into the Americas has brought different populations into contact, and contemporary American genomes are the product of a range of complex admixture events. Here we apply a haplotype-based ancestry identification approach to a large set of genome-wide SNP data from a variety of American, European and African populations to determine the contributions of different ancestral populations to the Americas. Our results provide a fine-scale characterization of the source populations, identify a series of novel, previously unreported contributions from Africa and Europe and highlight geohistorical structure in the ancestry of American admixed populations
