The Double Life of Duke of Somerset v Cookson, or a Legal Excavation of the Corbridge Lanx
No full textDuke of Somerset v Cookson (1735) occupies an important place in English legal history as a leading authority for Chancery jurisdiction to order specific delivery of movable property where an award of damages would be inadequate. The property at issue was the Corbridge lanx, now in the British Museum, but then claimed as treasure trove by the duke of Somerset as lord of the manor of Corbridge. This paper re-examines Cookson as the first reported English decision relating to treasure trove, and uses later treasure trove claims by the duke of Somerset's successors to the manor of Corbridge, the dukes of Northumberland, to shed fresh light on the 1735 decision and on the development of treasure trove practice from the eighteenth century onwards

Inherited prothrombotic states and ischaemic stroke in childhood
No full textObjective: to investigate the prevalence of currently recognised inherited prothrombotic states in a population of children with arterial stroke.Methods: children with arterial stroke presenting to a tertiary level paediatric neurology centre between 1990 and 1996 were investigated for inherited prothrombotic states.Results: sixty seven children with arterial stroke were investigated. Abnormalities were initially identified in 16 patients; however, only eight children (12%) had an inherited prothrombotic state. This was type 1 protein S deficiency in one patient, the factor V Leiden mutation in six, and activated protein C resistance (without the factor V Leiden mutation) in one. The prevalence of the factor V Leiden mutation was not significantly higher in children with arterial stroke (12%) than in a control population of children without thrombosis attending the same institution (5.2%; Fisher's exact test, p = 0.19; difference in prevalence between patients and controls (95% confidence interval) = 6.8% (-2.78% to 16.8%)).Conclusions: currently recognised inherited prothrombotic tendencies were rarely associated with stroke in this group of children, although larger numbers of patients would be needed to confirm this. Age appropriate normal values should be used when interpreting the results of a prothrombotic screen. Prothrombotic abnormalities seen acutely are as often transient as inherited. Longitudinal assessment and family studies are required before low concentrations of an anticoagulant protein found acutely can be attributed to an inherited abnormality.</p

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

Variations on the Author
No full text“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Untargeted metabolomics raw data
No full textSemi-polar compounds were extracted, including primary and secondary metabolites, using automated high-throughput ethanol extraction procedures at the MetaboHUB-Bordeaux Metabolome (https://metabolome.u-bordeaux.fr/) from 35 mg of fresh powder, following previously established protocols (Luna et al., 2020). All samples were randomised and injected alternately with extraction blanks (prepared without plant material and used to rule out potential contaminants detected by untargeted metabolomics), and 13 Quality control samples that were prepared by mixing 10 µL from each sample. Quality control samples were injected every 8 runs and used for the correction of signal drift during the analytical batch, and the calculation of coefficients of variation for each metabolomic feature so only the most robust ones are retained for chemometrics (Broadhurst et al., 2018).
Untargeted analysis was performed on a UHPLC Vanquish (Thermo Fisher Scientific) coupled to a Q-Exactive Plus mass spectrometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). One µL of sample was injected on a Phenomenex Luna® Omega Polar C18 column (50 x 2.1 mm, 1.6 µm) at 40°C and a gradient of solvent A (milliQ water – 0.1 % formic acid) and solvent B (acetonitrile – 0.1% formic acid) with a flow of 0.5 mL min-1 was used. The gradient elution was set as follows: 0-11.5 min: 1-40% solvent B; 11.5-12.5 min: 40-95% solvent B; 12.5-14 min: 95% solvent B; 14.5-16 min: 1% solvent B.
The mass spectrometry data was acquired in negative polarity at 140.000 FWHM resolution with an automatic gain target at 3e6 and maximum IT of 100 ms. The source conditions were as follow: Spray voltage: 3000 V; Sheath gas: 45 a.u; Auxiliary gas: 15 a.u; Capillary temperature: 320°C; Probe heater temperature: 250°C; S-lens RF level: 100. The experiments were in full scan (mass range: 70-1050 m/z) – data depending MS2 with top three precursors and normalized collision energies of 15, 30, 45 using a dynamic exclusion of 5 s
