A multi-stage genome-wide association study of bladder cancer identifies multiple susceptibility loci.
No full textWe conducted a multi-stage, genome-wide association study of bladder cancer with a primary scan of 591,637 SNPs in 3,532 affected individuals (cases) and 5,120 controls of European descent from five studies followed by a replication strategy, which included 8,382 cases and 48,275 controls from 16 studies. In a combined analysis, we identified three new regions associated with bladder cancer on chromosomes 22q13.1, 19q12 and 2q37.1: rs1014971, (P = 8 × 10⁻¹²) maps to a non-genic region of chromosome 22q13.1, rs8102137 (P = 2 × 10⁻¹¹) on 19q12 maps to CCNE1 and rs11892031 (P = 1 × 10⁻⁷) maps to the UGT1A cluster on 2q37.1. We confirmed four previously identified genome-wide associations on chromosomes 3q28, 4p16.3, 8q24.21 and 8q24.3, validated previous candidate associations for the GSTM1 deletion (P = 4 × 10⁻¹¹) and a tag SNP for NAT2 acetylation status (P = 4 × 10⁻¹¹), and found interactions with smoking in both regions. Our findings on common variants associated with bladder cancer risk should provide new insights into the mechanisms of carcinogenesis
Python 3 for Absolute Beginners
No full textThere are many more people who want to study programming other than aspiring computer scientists with a passing grade in advanced calculus. This guide appeals to your intelligence and ability to solve practical problems, while gently teaching the most recent revision of the programming language Python. You can learn solid software design skills and accomplish practical programming tasks, like extending applications and automating everyday processes, even if you have no programming experience at all. Authors Tim Hall and J-P Stacey use everyday language to decode programming jargon and teach P

Efficient preservation of young terrestrial organic carbon in sandy turbidity-current deposits. Geology, 48(9), (2020): 882-887, doi:10.1130/G47320.1.Burial of terrestrial biospheric particulate organic carbon in marine sediments removes CO2 from the atmosphere, regulating climate over geologic time scales. Rivers deliver terrestrial organic carbon to the sea, while turbidity currents transport river sediment further offshore. Previous studies have suggested that most organic carbon resides in muddy marine sediment. However, turbidity currents can carry a significant component of coarser sediment, which is commonly assumed to be organic carbon poor. Here, using data from a Canadian fjord, we show that young woody debris can be rapidly buried in sandy layers of turbidity current deposits (turbidites). These layers have organic carbon contents 10× higher than the overlying mud layer, and overall, woody debris makes up >70% of the organic carbon preserved in the deposits. Burial of woody debris in sands overlain by mud caps reduces their exposure to oxygen, increasing organic carbon burial efficiency. Sandy turbidity current channels are common in fjords and the deep sea; hence we suggest that previous global organic carbon burial budgets may have been underestimated.We thank C. Johnson, M.

AC Stacey barley
No full text AC Stacey is an early maturing, six-row feed barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) with excellent barley leaf scald resistance. It was developed at the Northern Agriculture Research Centre, Beaverlodge, Alberta from the cross Otal/Melvin. It is moderately strong strawed, and adapted to barley leaf scald prone areas in Alberta, and the Peace River region of British Columbia.

Effects of vocal registration training on the vocal range and perceived comfort of the adolescent male singer:
No full textThe purpose of this study was to investigate adolescent male vocal registers and repertoire selection for middle school choirs. Subjects included seventh and eighth grade boys (N = 48) enrolled in elective mixed choirs at a single middle school in Northern New Jersey. The study was designed to determine (a) the vocal range of subjects before and after vocal registration training, (b) the perceived comfort level of subjects before and after vocal registration training, and (c) the preferences of subjects toward 3-part and SATB arrangements.
Data were collected on the dependent variables of (a) lowest pitch sung, (b) highest pitch sung, and (c) total range sung. Subjects sang 3-part (Treatment 1) and SATB (Treatment 2) choral literature and rated the comfort of each. A concluding attitudinal survey was used to investigate attitudes regarding 3-part mixed and SATB repertoire.
Analysis of variance (ANOVA) revealed a significant increase in total range (p < .001). A significant difference in the lowest pitch was observed (p < .05) in addition to a significant difference in highest pitch (p < .001). No significant differences were found between the two treatment periods on a measure of vocal comfort. Survey responses revealed a significant preference toward SATB music (p < .001).
Results replicated Emge (1996), suggesting that seventh and eighth grade boys are capable of singing a wider range than commonly thought possible. Subjects sang both 3 and 4-part arrangements with a general sense of vocal comfort.D.M.A.Includes bibliographical references (p. 70-76)by Stacey L. Sass
