Subsurface Imaging of South Brighton Spit, Christchurch, New Zealand part II: Coastal Processes and Data Interpretation.
No full textColor poster with text, illustrations, and maps describing research conducted by W. Patrick Dryer, Jackie Ebert, Beth Ellison, and Keith Erickson, advised by Harry M. Jol and David Nobes.Ground penetrating radar (GPR) surveys were collected along the width of South Brighton Spit at its most southernly extent. The processed GPR data provides a subsurface image of the coastal sedimentary deposits that can be correlated to the layering of the spit.University of Wisconsin--Eau Claire Office of Research and Sponsored Programs

An optically accessible pyrolysis microreactor
No full textWe report an optically accessible pyrolysis micro-reactor suitable for \textit{in situ} laser spectroscopic measurements. A radiative heating design allows for completely unobstructed views of the micro-reactor along two axes. The maximum temperature demonstrated here is only 1300 K (as opposed to 1700 K for the usual SiC micro-reactor) because of the melting point of fused silica, but alternative transparent materials will allow for higher temperatures. Laser induced fluorescence measurements on nitric oxide are presented as a proof of principle for spectroscopic characterization of pyrolysis conditions. (This work has been published in J.~H. Baraban, D.~E. David, G.~B. Ellison, and J.~W. Daily.

Outstanding Junior Investigator Award. Final report
No full textThe OJI supported research of J. Ellison has been concentrated in two areas: study of W{gamma} and Z{gamma} production at the Tevatron, which probes the trilinear boson coupling; design, fabrication and testing of silicon microstrip detectors for the D0 upgrade silicon tracking system. The W{gamma} analysis using data from the first D0 run ({approximately}14 pb{sup {minus}1} integrated luminosity) has been completed - J. Ellison and a postdoctoral research working with him (B. Choudhary) were responsible for the muon channel analysis. This analysis is an important test of the Standard Model (SM), since it probes the nature of the WW{gamma} coupling, which is related to the W boson magnetic dipole and electric quadrupole moments. Any deviation from the SM value of the WW{gamma} coupling would be an indication of either composite structure of the W or higher order loop corrections involving physics beyond the SM. The analysis has resulted in the world`s most sensitive limits on the WW{gamma} coupling parameters. In addition the author has also worked on an analysis of Z{gamma} production which has yielded sensitive limits on the ZZ{gamma} and Z{gamma}{gamma} couplings. The work on the D0 Silicon Tracker has also made very good progress. The team led by J. Ellison includes two postdoctoral researchers (A. Bischoff and C. Boswell), one graduate student (M. Mason) and three undergraduate students. They have fully evaluated proptotype detectors which were designed at UCR and have completed a detailed simulation study of the detector performance for different strip geometries. The results were used to optimize the design of the final D0 detectors, for which UR has sole responsibility. The author has completed the mask design for the 3-chip barrel detectors and production of the final detectors as now begun
Improved health-related quality of life outcomes associated with SHH subgroup medulloblastoma in SIOP-UKCCSG PNET3 trial survivors
No full text[Preview] Reduced health-related quality of life (HrQoL), including impaired cognitive, social, physical, behavioural and emotional functioning, is common in children treated for medulloblastoma and has been associated with clinical factors such as surgical resection and treatment modality]. recent biological advances have allowed the distinction of medulloblastomas into four consensus molecular subgroups—WNT, sHH, Group 3 and Group 4—which display distinct molecular, clinical, and pathological disease characteristics. Together, these observations raise the hypothesis that HrQoL in medulloblastoma survivors may be related to their underlying tumour biology

Chimpanzees and human evolution/ edited by Martin N. Muller, Richard W. Wrangham, and David R. Pilbeam.
No full textIncludes bibliographical references and index.Although chimpanzees and other primates are frequently used as models to reconstruct the behavior of extinct human ancestors, this is rarely done in a consistent or methodologically rigorous fashion. This volume brings together leading scholars to explore how knowledge about chimpanzees can be used to understand both what is unique about our own species, and how these traits evolved. The first part of the book makes the case that the last common ancestor of chimpanzees and humans was chimpanzee-like. This inference is based not on an assumption that chimpanzees are a model species, but on morphological, developmental, and genetic data, together with evidence from the hominin fossil record. The second part of the book provides the first detailed record of the similarities and differences between humans and chimpanzees, including those in social system, mating system, diet, social behavior, hunting, tool use, culture, cognition, and communication.--Martin N.

Puppets
No full textHousehold words contributors Dudley Costello and W. H. Wills begin their brief historical survey of the puppet arts, 'The Pedigree of Puppets' (1852), by airily dispensing with the need to cover their 'tedious' origins in the ancient world.1 Anyone attempting a related survey of Dickens and puppets would be unwise to emu- te this selective approach. Puppets are simply too rarely encountered in Dickens's work to leave anything out.No Full Tex
