Recovery through contradiction?
No full textWith this new drug strategy, the circle has turned. It was a Conservative government
that introduced the first drug strategy, Tackling Drugs Together, in 1995. This aimed
to reduce drug related crime, protect young people and reduce health harms by
discouraging drug use. It was criticised at the time for having unrealistic, intangible
aims and for not providing the necessary funding. New Labour’s strategies introduced
increasingly specific targets and massively expanded the funding of treatment. This
new Coalition strategy has no targets and provides no new funding

Wavenumber-frequency spectra in the logarithmic layer of wall turbulence
No full textWe study space-time correlations of wall-bounded turbulence in terms of wavenumber-frequency spectra of the streamwise velocity component. The spectra are obtained from Large Eddy Simulations (LES), which provide a full space-time record of the flow. We find that the frequency distributions exhibit a Doppler shift, which is a consequence of mean flow advection, as well as a considerable Doppler broadening, consistent with the Kraichnan-Tennekes random sweeping hypothesis. For wall-bounded turbulence, both of these effects vary with the wall distance and are closely related to the logarithmic behavior of the mean velocity profile and the velocity fluctuation profiles. We incorporate these observations into a simple analytical model for the wavenumber-frequency spectrum based on an advection equation featuring advection of the small-scale velocity fluctuations with a mean and a large-scale random-sweeping velocity. The model is found to be in very good agreement with the LES data. Potential applications of the model spectrum, e.g., to quantify the spatio-temporal structure of fluctuations in wind energy conversion, will be discussed
Intern experience with William F. Guyton & Associates: an internship report
No full textIncludes author's vita"Submitted to the College of Engineering of Texas A&M University in partial
fulfillment of the requirement for the degree of Doctor of Engineering."Includes bibliographical referencesThis report is a review of the author's experience as an intern with
William F. Guyton & Associates. William F. Guyton & Associates is a consulting
groundwater hydrology firm with offices in Austin and Houston, Texas. The intern worked at the
main office in Austin for the duration of the internship. The author worked on a variety of
projects during the internship. These projects encompassed general groundwater studies,
computer simulation, technical analyses of aquifer parameters, and inspection of water well
construction and testing. General groundwater studies involved the collection of water well
construction and chemical analyses data. The author wrote several computer codes to handle
basic computations, and the author used several existing finite difference codes to simulate
groundwater movement. The technical analyses of pumping test data were analyzed by the author
to determine aquifer parameters. The field work involved on-site inspection of water well
construction and involved quality control of the pumping test after construction. The author
interacted with various agencies of the state and federal government. This interaction was
necessary to many of the projects. The collection of water well data and the use of the finite
difference codes gave the author the opportunity to obtain knowledge of the daily operations
of these agencies
At limits of life: multidisciplinary insights reveal environmental constraints on biotic diversity in continental Antarctica
No full textData source: Supporting information, http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0044578#s5Multitrophic communities that maintain the functionality of the extreme Antarctic terrestrial ecosystems, while the simplest of any natural community, are still challenging our knowledge about the limits to life on earth. In this study, we describe and interpret the linkage between the diversity of different trophic level communities to the geological morphology and soil geochemistry in the remote Transantarctic Mountains (Darwin Mountains, 80uS). We examined the distribution and diversity of biota (bacteria, cyanobacteria, lichens, algae, invertebrates) with respect to elevation, age of glacial drift sheets, and soil physicochemistry. Results showed an abiotic spatial gradient with respect to the diversity of the organisms across different trophic levels. More complex communities, in terms of trophic level diversity, were related to the weakly developed younger drifts (Hatherton and Britannia) with higher soil C/N ratio and lower total soluble salts content (thus lower conductivity). Our results indicate that an increase of ion concentration from younger to older drift regions drives a succession of complex to more simple communities, in terms of number of trophic levels and diversity within each group of organisms analysed. This study revealed that integrating diversity across multi-trophic levels of biotic communities with abiotic spatial heterogeneity and geological history is fundamental to understand environmental constraints influencing biological distribution in Antarctic soil ecosystems.Catarina Magalhães, Mark I.

A Novel Behavioral Fish Model of Nociception for Testing Analgesics
No full textPain is a major symptom in many medical conditions, and often interferes significantly with a person’s quality of life. Although a priority topic in medical research for many years, there are still few analgesic drugs approved for clinical use. One reason is the lack of appropriate animal models that faithfully represent relevant hallmarks associated with human pain. Here we propose zebrafish (Danio rerio) as a novel short-term behavioral model of nociception, and analyse its sensitivity and robustness. Firstly, we injected two different doses of acetic acid as the noxious stimulus. We studied individual locomotor responses of fish to a threshold level of nociception using two recording systems: a video tracking system and an electric biosensor (the MOBS system). We showed that an injection dose of 10% acetic acid resulted in a change in behavior that could be used to study nociception. Secondly, we validated our behavioral model by investigating the effect of the analgesic morphine. In time-course studies, first we looked at the dose-response relationship of morphine and then tested whether the effect of morphine could be modulated by naloxone, an opioid antagonist. Our results suggest that a change in behavioral responses of zebrafish to acetic acid is a reasonable model to test analgesics. The response scales with stimulus intensity, is attenuated by morphine, and the analgesic effect of morphine is blocked with naloxone. The change in behavior of zebrafish associated with the noxious stimulus can be monitored with an electric biosensor that measures changes in water impedance
S. S. Stevens, M. Guirao and the psychophysical studies in Argentina
No full textStanley Smith Stevens (1906-1973), es considerado uno de los principales líderes de la psicología experimental norteamericana de mediados del siglo XX. Mayormente reconocido por sus contribuciones en el campo de la audición, y en general de la psicofísica por la ley potencial que lleva su nombre, también aportó a la comprensión del rol de la teoría de la medición en psicología y a la filosofía de las ciencias. Sus influyentes artículos y manuales alcanzaron amplia difusión en todo el mundo. En Argentina, la recepción de su obra contribuyó al avance de los estudios sobre la percepción. Tres laboratorios se dedicaron a este campo desde la década de 1960: LIS, CIAL y UNCY/UNSL. En todos se registró a Stevens entre los principales referentes. Destacamos la figura de Miguelina Guirao, discípula directa de Stevens y Directora del LIS. Analizamos la impronta que la recepción de la obra del maestro norteamericano marcó revitalizando los estudios experimentales sobre la percepción en Argentina.Stanley Smith Stevens (1906-1973) has been considered one of the most outstanding leaders of the mid-twentieth century within American experimental psychology. He greatly contributed to hearing studies, and he is the author of the psychophysical power law bearing his name. He fostered the theory of measurement in psychology and he was involved in the main debates of the philosophy of science of his age. His papers and handbooks had wide incidence all over the world. In Argentina, the reception of his work encouraged the development of the studies on perception. Three laboratories devoted to this field during the 1960’s decade: LIS, CIAL, UNCy/UNSL. All of them had Stevens as a central reference. Miguelina Guirao, who was the organizer and first Director of LIS, was a direct disciple of Stevens. Her figure and work is spotlighted to analyze his reception on her work, the imprint he marked on her profile and on the revitalization of the experimental studies on perception in Argentina.Fil: Piñeda, Maria Andrea.
