Mark Gibbons Interview, November 1, 2018
No full textMark Gibbons discusses his nearly 15-year friendship with Butte, Montana poet Ed Lahey, author of The Blind Horses and The Thin Air Gang. Gibbons talks about first meeting Lahey in 1996 at the Garden City Reading Series in Missoula, and how much in awe he was of Lahey’s talent and presence. Gibbons describes how author Roger Dunsmore facilitated Gibbons’ first meeting with Lahey at Lahey’s home in Montana, and how that quickly grew into a mutual friendship. Gibbons touches on Lahey’s struggles with alcoholism and mental illness, and notes that he knew Lahey towards the end of his life when he was getting more of his work published. Gibbons recalls Lahey’s struggles with manganese poisoning which causes severe tremoring during his final years. He also discusses Lahey’s writing style, which was a unique voice characteristic of living in Butte, Montana. Gibbons notes how many poets such as himself and Sheryl Noethe were inspired by Lahey’s work.https://scholarworks.umt.edu/edlahey/1008/thumbnail.jp

Analysis of two genomic variants of orang-utan hepadnavirus and their relationship to other primate hepatitis B-like viruses
No full textWe recently described orang-utan hepadnavirus (OuHV) (Warren et al., Journal of Virology, 73, 7860–7865, 1999). Phylogenetic analyses indicated that the various isolates of OuHV can be divided into two genomic variants. Two representatives from each genomic cluster were analysed both molecularly and phylogenetically. Their genome organization was highly similar to other hepadnaviruses of apes and humans. The complete genome sequences of the two OuHV types had an overall 5% sequence difference. Research on 25 seropositive Bornean orang-utans showed that, of the 19 animals infected with one variant, 12 originated from East Kalimantan. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using the full-length genomes of various primate hepadnaviruses. The tree topology revealed one cluster of Old World hepadnaviruses that is divided into two subclusters, one consisting of the ape viruses, and the other comprising the human genotypes A–E. These data suggest that the great apes and gibbons have been infected with a common ancestor hepadnavirus

Measuring industry-science links through inventor-author relations: A profiling method
No full textIn this pilot study we examine the performance of text-based profiling in recovering a set of validated inventor-author links. In a first step we match patents and publications solely based on their similarity in content. Next, we compare inventor and author names on the highest ranked matches for the occurrence of name matches. Finally, we compare these candidate matches with the names listed in a validated set of inventor-author names. Our text-based profile methodology performs significantly better than a random matching of patents and publications, suggesting that text-based profiling is a valuable complementary tool to the name searches used in previous studies.innovation; industry-science links; text-based profiling;
Gibbons-Hawking entropy as entanglement entropy
No full textIDEXACIÓN:SCOPUSWe consider a deformed version of four-dimensional de Sitter spacetime. The setup consist of two (antipodal) disconnected Rindler observers, each one with an S4 topology. We show that the two observers have an entanglement entropy, in the low energy sector, given by a quarter of the area of a pair minimal surfaces, that corresponds to the set of fixed points of an Zq orbifold. The result matches with the Gibbons-Hawking entropy when we restrict the Zq action to a single Rindler wedge. © 2019 Author(s)
Centromere remodeling in Hoolock leuconedys (Hylobatidae) by a new transposable element unique to the gibbons
No full textGibbons (Hylobatidae) shared a common ancestor with the other hominoids only 15-18 million years ago. Nevertheless, gibbons show very distinctive features that include heavily rearranged chromosomes. Previous observations indicate that this phenomenon may be linked to the attenuated epigenetic repression of transposable elements (TEs) in gibbon species. Here we describe the massive expansion of a repeat in almost all the centromeres of the eastern hoolock gibbon (Hoolock leuconedys). We discovered that this repeat is a new composite TE originating from the combination of portions of three other elements (L1ME5, AluSz6, and SVA-A) and thus named it LAVA. We determined that this repeat is found in all the gibbons but does not occur in other hominoids. Detailed investigation of 46 different LAVA elements revealed that the majority of them have target site duplications (TSDs) and a poly-A tail, suggesting that they have been retrotransposing in the gibbon genome. Although we did not find a direct correlation between the emergence of LAVA elements and human-gibbon synteny breakpoints, this new composite transposable element is another mark of the great plasticity of the gibbon genome. Moreover, the centromeric expansion of LAVA insertions in the hoolock closely resembles the massive centromeric expansion of the KERV-1 retroelement reported for wallaby (marsupial) interspecific hybrids. The similarity between the two phenomena is consistent with the hypothesis that evolution of the gibbons is characterized by defects in epigenetic repression of TEs, perhaps triggered by interspecific hybridization. © 2012 The Author(s)
