Generation of an iPSC line from skin fibroblasts of a patient with Joubert syndrome carrying the homozygous loss of function variant c.787dupC in the AHI1 gene
No full textWe produced an iPSC line from a patient with Joubert syndrome carrying the homozygous c.787dupC variant in the AHI1 gene. The iPSC line was obtained by reprogramming skin fibroblasts, mycoplasma-free, using Sendai-virus-based technique. Characterization of iPSCs showed the same Short Tandem Repeats profile than fibroblasts, normal karyotype, expression of staminal markers (OCT4, SOX2, SSEA4 and NANOG) and ability to differentiate into three germ layers in vitro
Generation of iPSC line from a Joubert syndrome patient with compound heterozygous mutations in CPLANE1 gene
No full textWe generated iPSC line using skin fibroblasts obtained from a female patient affected by Joubert syndrome, caused by two compound heterozygous variants (c.143G > A; p.Gly48Glu and c.1784 T > G; p.Leu595Ter) in CPLANE1. We used Sendai -virus -based technique for reprogramming and then we applied karyotype analysis, to exclude possible acquired big rearrangements. We verified the presence of the same STR profile as fibroblasts, the stem cell state (by immunofluorescence and qPCR) and, finally, the pluripotency state (by in vitro trilineage differentiation)
Studies of the Eel Anguila Anguila in Ireland No. 2. In Lough Conn, Lough Gill, and North Cavan Lakes
No full textA total of 843 immature eels of length 27 to 86 em and ages 5 to 28 years were collected in summer by fyke netting. The North Cavan eels formed a distinct population of large, fast-growing eels, most of which matured before 12 years. The eels of the other lakes were slower in growth and in maturing, substantial numbers of 13 years and older being found. Principal food organisms in the Cavan eels were fish and chironomid larvae; in Lough Gill fish for eels of over 50 cm and Gammarus and Ephemeroptera larvae for smaller; in Lough Conn, Gastropoda for all sizes
A Comparitive Limnological Study of Two Irish Lakes (Lough Sillan, Co. Cavan and Lough Dan, Co. Wicklow).
No full textA comparative study of Lough Sillan (Co. Cavan) and Lough Dan (Co. Wicklow) revealed that these two Irish lakes
differ markedly in their physicoRchemical and faunal characteristics. The possible causes of these observed dissimilarities
are reviewed and discussed. Lough Sillan may be classified as moderately eutrophic while Lough Dan is both humic and
oligotrophic
The Australia-US alliance: a cost/benefit analysis
No full textKey Points
It is time for a hard-headed cost/benefit analysis of the US Alliance. Any such analysis should include the following questions:
Does the Alliance create more problems than it solves?
In the Indo-Pacific Region, do we want a balance between the US and China, or US dominance?
What intelligence do we get from the US that would still be needed without the Alliance?
Summary
The American alliance is an article of faith in Australia because it is said to underpin our security. There have been many reviews and White Papers but perhaps it is time for a hard-headed cost/benefit analysis. Here I consider some of the questions that must be asked.

Radon potential mapping of the Tralee-Castleisland and Cavan areas (Ireland) based on airborne gamma-ray spectrometry and geology
No full textThe probability of homes in Ireland having high indoor radon concentrations is estimated on the basis of known in-house radon measurements averaged over 10 km × 10 km grid squares. The scope for using airborne gamma-ray spectrometer data for the Tralee–Castleisland area of county Kerry and county Cavan to predict the radon potential (RP) in two distinct areas of Ireland is evaluated in this study. Airborne data are compared statistically with in-house radon measurements in conjunction with geological and ground permeability data to establish linear regression models and produce radon potential maps. The best agreement between the percentage of dwellings exceeding the reference level (RL) for radon concentrations in Ireland (% > RL), estimated from indoor radon data, and modelled RP in the Tralee–Castleisland area is produced using models based on airborne gamma-ray spectrometry equivalent uranium (eU) and ground permeability data. Good agreement was obtained between the % > RL from indoor radon data and RP estimated from eU data in the Cavan area using terrain specific models. In both areas, RP maps derived from eU data are spatially more detailed than the published 10 km grid map. The results show the potential for using airborne radiometric data for producing RP maps
The Green Papyri and the Museum of the Bible
No full textThrough the discussion of the birth and development of the Green papyrus collection and its partial inclusion in the Museum of the Bible of Washington DC, this chapter addresses for the first time questions related to the development of papyrus collecting and publishing and their colonial roots. It shows that many collectors and academics are still following methods and practices embedded into the colonial past, and this constitutes a threat to the preservation of ancient manuscripts from Egypt. In conclusion, the author suggests how to move towards more responsible collecting and publishing
The Sensitivity of Subsurface Microbes to Ocean Warming Accentuates Future Declines in Particulate Carbon Export
No full textUnder future warming Earth System Models (ESMs) project a decrease in the magnitude of downward particulate organic carbon (POC) export, suggesting the potential for carbon storage in the deep ocean will be reduced. Projections of POC export can also be quantified using an alternative physiologically-based approach, the Metabolic Theory of Ecology (MTE). MTE employs an activation energy (Ea) describing organismal metabolic sensitivity to temperature change, but does not consider changes in ocean chemistry or physics. Many ESMs incorporate temperature dependent functions, where rates (e.g., respiration) scale with temperature. Temperature sensitivity describes how temperature dependence varies across metabolic rates or species. ESMs acknowledge temperature sensitivity between rates (e.g., between heterotrophic and autotropic processes), but due to a lack of empirical data cannot parameterize for variation within rates, such as differences within species or biogeochemical provinces. Here we investigate how varying temperature sensitivity affects heterotrophic microbial respiration and hence future POC export. Using satellite-derived data and ESM temperature projections we applied microbial MTE, with varying temperature sensitivity, to estimates of global POC export. In line with observations from polar regions and the deep ocean we imposed an elevated temperature sensitivity (Ea = 1.0 eV) to cooler regions; firstly to the Southern Ocean (south of 40°S) and secondly where temperature at 100 m depth <13°C. Elsewhere in both these scenarios Ea was set to 0.7 eV (moderate sensitivity/classic MTE). Imposing high temperature sensitivity in cool regions resulted in projected declines in export of 17 ± 1% (< 40°S) and 23 ± 1% (< 13°C) by 2100 relative to the present day. Hence varying microbial temperature sensitivity resulted in at least 2-fold greater declines in POC export than suggested by classic MTE derived in this study (12 ± 1%, Ea = 0.7 eV globally) or ESMs (1–12%). The sparse observational data currently available suggests metabolic temperature sensitivity of organisms likely differs depending on the oceanic province they reside in. We advocate temperature sensitivity to be incorporated in biogeochemical models to improve projections of future carbon export, which could be currently underestimating the change in future POC export
