Gale Morant Slave Trade Papers: Mount Hindmost Accounts - List of slaves as of 1st January 1832
No full textGale and Morant family papers relating to Jamaican slave plantations. The Gale and the Morant families came to Jamaica separately in the 17th century soon after the island was seized in 1655. Major John Gale (1637-1689) was buried there, as was John Morant who died in 1683. Various marriages linked their families, as they both acquired plantations, large estates, and great wealth. In 1754, John Morant owned 4631 acres in Clarendon and 3582 acres in Vere. Five members of the Gale family owned more than 6000 acres of the island. The Jamaican estates were handed down to subsequent generations of the family.See online Archive Catalogue available at the University of Exeter website

Chrispaulia Gale 2005
No full textGenus Chrispaulia Gale, 2005 Chrispaulia Gale, 2005: 2, fig. 4a–c. Type species Nymphaster radiatus Spencer, 1905, by original designation (see Fig. 13A–C). Diagnosis Arms long, narrow; disc small, with rounded interbrachial arcs; superomarginals meeting over radius along length of arm; distal marginals imbricate (emended from Gale 2005). Assigned species In addition to the type species, Chrispaulia jurassica Gale, 2011 (Gale 2011a), C. wrightorum sp. nov. and C. spinosa sp. nov. Remarks The record in the Treatise of Invertebrate Paleontology (Part U; Spencer & Wright 1966) of a benthopectinid from the “Albian of England ” is based on an arm fragment from the Albian Red Chalk of Yorkshire, United Kingdom (C.W. Wright, pers. comm. to ASG, 1978). We have examined this specimen (NHMUK PI EE 17997), which comprises five marginal ossicles reconstructed on plasticene. The shape of the ossicles indicates that this specimen belongs to the genus Chrispaulia; it is here described as a new species, C. wrightorum sp. nov. (see below). In addition, we record another species from the Hauterivian (Lower Cretaceous) of northeast England and northern Germany.Published as part of Gale, Andy S. & Jagt, John W. M., 2021, The fossil record of the family Benthopectinidae (Echinodermata, Asteroidea), a reappraisal, pp. 149-190 in European Journal of Taxonomy 755 on pages 174-175, DOI: 10.5852/ejt.2021.755.1405, http://zenodo.org/record/503297
Sequence of infilling events in Gale crater, Mars: Results from morphology, stratigraphy, and mineralogy
No full textGale Crater is filled by sedimentary deposits including a mound of layered deposits,
Aeolis Mons. Using orbital data, we mapped the crater infillings and measured their
geometry to determine their origin. The sediment of Aeolis Mons is interpreted to be
primarily air fall material such as dust, volcanic ash, fine-grained impact products, and
possibly snow deposited by settling from the atmosphere, as well as wind-blown sands
cemented in the crater center. Unconformity surfaces between the geological units are
evidence for depositional hiatuses. Crater floor material deposited around Aeolis Mons
and on the crater wall is interpreted to be alluvial and colluvial deposits. Morphologic
evidence suggests that a shallow lake existed after the formation of the lowermost part of
Aeolis Mons (the Small yardangs unit and the mass-wasting deposits). A suite of several
features including patterned ground and possible rock glaciers are suggestive of periglacial
processes with a permafrost environment after the first hundreds of thousands of years
following its formation, dated to ~3.61 Ga, in the Late Noachian/Early Hesperian.
Episodic melting of snow in the crater could have caused the formation of sulfates and
clays in Aeolis Mons, the formation of rock glaciers and the incision of deep canyons and
valleys along its flanks as well as on the crater wall and rim, and the formation of a lake in
the deepest portions of Gale

Intelligence in childhood and chronic widespread pain in middle age: the National Child Development Survey
No full textPsychological factors are thought to play a part in the aetiology of chronic widespread pain. We investigated the relationship between intelligence in childhood and risk of chronic widespread pain in adulthood in 6902 men and women from the National Child Development Survey (1958 British Birth Cohort). Participants took a test of general cognitive ability at age 11 years; and chronic widespread pain, defined according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria, was assessed at age 45 years. Risk ratios (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using log-binomial regression, adjusting for sex and potential confounding or mediating factors. Risk of chronic widespread pain, defined according to the American College of Rheumatology criteria, rose in a stepwise fashion as intelligence fell (P for linear trend <0.0001). In sex-adjusted analyses, for an SD lower intelligence quotient, the RR of chronic widespread pain was 1.26 (95% CI 1.17–1.35). In multivariate backwards stepwise regression, lower childhood intelligence remained as an independent predictor of chronic widespread pain (RR 1.10; 95% CI 1.01–1.19), along with social class, educational attainment, body mass index, smoking status, and psychological distress. Part of the effect of lower childhood intelligence on risk of chronic widespread pain in midlife was significantly mediated through greater body mass index and more disadvantaged socioeconomic position. Men and women with higher intelligence in childhood are less likely as adults to report chronic widespread pain.<br/
The N-terminus of GalE induces tmRNA activity in Escherichia coli.
No full textThe tmRNA quality control system recognizes stalled translation complexes and facilitates ribosome recycling in a process termed 'ribosome rescue'. During ribosome rescue, nascent chains are tagged with the tmRNA-encoded SsrA peptide, which targets tagged proteins for degradation. In Escherichia coli, tmRNA rescues ribosomes arrested on truncated messages, as well as ribosomes that are paused during elongation and termination.Here, we describe a new translational pausing determinant that leads to SsrA peptide tagging of the E. coli GalE protein (UDP-galactose 4-epimerase). GalE chains are tagged at more than 150 sites, primarily within distinct clusters throughout the C-terminal domain. These tagging sites do not correspond to rare codon clusters and synonymous recoding of the galE gene had little effect on tagging. Moreover, tagging was largely unaffected by perturbations that either stabilize or destabilize the galE transcript. Examination of GalE-thioredoxin (TrxA) fusion proteins showed that the GalE C-terminal domain is no longer tagged when fused to an N-terminal TrxA domain. Conversely, the N-terminus of GalE induced tagging within the fused C-terminal TrxA domain.These findings suggest that translation of the GalE N-terminus induces subsequent tagging of the C-terminal domain. We propose that co-translational maturation of the GalE N-terminal domain influences ribosome pausing and subsequent tmRNA activity
