Loss of groudwater resources following major quarrying activiy in urban areas: the Galeria-Magliana quarry basin (Rome, Italy)
No full textI this paper we present the results of a study aimed to define the environmental impacts of quarry activities in the suburban belt of Rome. The hydrological and hydrogeological modificatios induced by the quarry activities rceive particular attention and can be summarized as: (a) disruptive groundwater lowering as a result of quarrying activity below groundwater level; (b) dewatering of parts of the area as a consequence of quarry site back-filling with low permeability materials, morphological alteration and soil degradation, with consequent loss of environmental structure in large parts of the area; and (c) river system alteration or its complete distruption as a result of dispersed and unplanned site development. The study has been developed through a multidisciplinary approach using sedimentological, geomorphological and hydrogeological methods
The Re-Valuation of William Jennings Bryan In Woodrow Wilson\u27s Administration
No full textThe Re-evaluation of William Jennings Bryan in Woodrow Wilson’s Administration is a study of the relationships of William Jennings Bryan, Secretary of State, Edward M. House, uncommissioned agent of Woodrow Wilson, Walter Hines Page, United States. Ambassador to England, and Woodrow Wils0n, President of the United States. The author’s purpose in writing this thesis is to throw light upon the machinations that were carried on behind the back of William Jennings Bryan, as Secretary of State in Woodrow Wilson\u27s Administration. This investigation gives to Bryan a higher and more reputable position in American history than he is usually accorded. In order to accomplish this task it was necessary to re-evaluate The Intimate Papers of Colonel House which covers the Colonel\u27s early youth up to the end of World War I. The period 1912-1915 was given special attention. The author does not contend that Bryan should have been given the appointment, nor does he contend that there were not others who could have served in the capacity of Secretary of State with more ability than Bryan. The author does contend that with all the handicaps that Bryan faced, the Commoner performed his duty to the American people admirably
Professor Bryan Harris Remembered: Volez to a Pierce Law Friend
No full textBryan Harris, MA (Oxon), passed away recently in his beloved native England, after a brief illness. His wife Mary, two sons and a daughter survive him. Bryan Harris had a long and distinguished career as an author, educator, barrister, diplomat, publisher and lobbyist. He was a consultant on European Union policies and laws to commercial and professional firms and associations. For almost three decades he was a Member of the Board of Trustees and Adjunct Professor of European Union Law at Pierce Law. Pierce Law President and Dean, John Hutson summed up what many members of the Pierce Law community expressed to me as I prepared this tribute saying, I think of Bryan mostly in single words ... jovial, cheerful, humble, dignified, diplomatic, caring ... Dean Huston shared that Professor Harris will be recognized during the 2004 Commencement
Sagittal Alignment Comparison of Bryan Disc Arthroplasty With ProDisc-C Arthroplasty A Prospective, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial
No full textStudy Design: A prospective, randomized study of the radiographic outcomes in patients undergoing single-level cervical arthroplasty with Bryan disc and ProDisc-C prosthesis. Objective: The purpose of this trial was to compare the alignment changes of Bryan disc arthroplasty (modified techniques) with ProDisc-C arthroplasty. Summary of Background Data: Aggravation of kyphosis is the known challenge after Bryan disc arthroplasty. Both Bryan disc arthroplasty with modified techniques and ProDisc-C arthroplasty were reported to avoid the postoperative local kyphosis. There have been no studies comparing the alignment changes after Bryan disc arthroplasty with ProDisc-C arthroplasty. Methods: We conducted a randomized controlled clinical trial enrolling patients with cervical disc disease. Ultimately 20 patients received Bryan disc arthroplasty with modified surgical techniques and 26 patients received ProDisc-C arthroplasty. Functional spinal unit (FSU) and overall cervical alignment (Cobb angle of C2/7) were compared at final follow-up. Results: (1) FSU angle: the FSU angle was maintained for the Bryan disc group (from 0.8 to 0.6 degrees) without statistical significance; the FSU angle increased 2.9 degrees for the ProDisc-C group (from -0.3 to 2.6 degrees) with statistical significance. (2) Overall alignment: the overall alignments did not change for both Bryan disc and ProDisc-C groups. Conclusions: Bryan disc arthroplasty with modified techniques can maintain the lordosis of FSU, whereas ProDisc-C arthroplasty can restore the lordosis of FSU. For the patients with preoperative FSU kyphosis, ProDisc-C arthroplasty may be a better choice to restore the lordosis.Clinical NeurologyOrthopedicsSCI(E)PubMed1ARTICLE6381-3852
Molecular subtyping of DCIS : heterogeneity of breast cancer reflected in pre-invasive disease
No full textBackground: Molecular profiling has identified at least four subtypes of invasive breast carcinoma, which exhibit distinct clinical behaviour. There is good evidence now that DCIS represents the non-obligate precursor to invasive breast cancer and therefore it should be possible to identify similar molecular subtypes at this stage. In addition to a limited five-marker system to identify molecular subtypes in invasive breast cancer, it is evident that other biological molecules may identify distinct tumour subsets, though this has not been formally evaluated in DCIS.
Methods: Tissue microarrays were constructed for 188 cases of DCIS. Immunohistochemistry was performed to examine the expression patterns of oestrogen receptor (ER), progesterone receptor (PR), Her2, EGFR, cytokeratin (CK) 5/6, CK14, CK17, CK18, β4-integrin, β6-integrin, p53, SMA, maspin, Bcl-2, topoisomerase IIα and P-cadherin. Hierarchical clustering analysis was undertaken to identify any natural groupings, and the findings were validated in an independent sample series.
Results: Each of the intrinsic molecular subtypes described for invasive breast cancer can be identified in DCIS, though there are differences in the relative frequency of subgroups, in particular, the triple negative and basal-like phenotype is very uncommon in DCIS. Hierarchical cluster analysis identified three main subtypes of DCIS determined largely by ER, PR, Her2 and Bcl-2, and this classification is related to conventional prognostic indicators. These subtypes were confirmed in an analysis on independent series of DCIS cases.
Conclusion: This study indicates that DCIS may be classified in a similar manner to invasive breast cancer, and determining the relative frequency of different subtypes in DCIS and invasive disease may shed light on factors determining disease progression. It also demonstrates a role for Bcl-2 in classifying DCIS, which has recently been identified in invasive breast cancer
Seasonal and biogeographical patterns of gastrointestinal parasites in large carnivores: wolves in a coastal archipelago
No full textParasites are increasingly recognized for their profound influences on individual, population and ecosystem health. We provide the first report of gastrointestinal parasites in gray wolves from the central and north coasts of British Columbia, Canada. Across 60 000 km 2, wolf feces were collected from 34 packs in 2005-2008. At a smaller spatial scale (3300 km 2), 8 packs were sampled in spring and autumn. Parasite eggs, larvae, and cysts were identified using standard flotation techniques and morphology. A subset of samples was analysed by PCR and sequencing to identify tapeworm eggs (n=9) and Giardia cysts (n=14). We detected ≥14 parasite taxa in 1558 fecal samples. Sarcocystis sporocysts occurred most frequently in feces (43·7%), followed by taeniid eggs (23·9%), Diphyllobothrium eggs (9·1%), Giardia cysts (6·8%), Toxocara canis eggs (2·1%), and Cryptosporidium oocysts (1·7%). Other parasites occurred in 1% of feces. Genetic analyses revealed Echinococcus canadensis strains G8 and G10, Taenia ovis krabbei, Diphyllobothrium nehonkaiense, and Giardia duodenalis assemblages A and B. Parasite prevalence differed between seasons and island/mainland sites. Patterns in parasite prevalence reflect seasonal and spatial resource use by wolves and wolf-salmon associations. These data provide a unique, extensive and solid baseline for monitoring parasite community structure in relation to environmental change
