Vurdering av miljøeffekter ved endring av utslippsdyp for prosessvann ved Falconbridge Nikkelverk A/S
No full textEffektene av å senke utslippsdypet til fem ulike avløpsledninger for prosessvann/kjølevann fra Falconbridge Nikkelverk A/S er vurdert. Senking av utslippsdypet vil sannsynligvis gi lavere miljøgiftkonsentrasjoner i overflatevannet og dermed bidra til bedre levevilkår for organismer på grunt vann. Det er idag overkonsentrasjoner av bl.a. kobber, nikkel og dioksiner i organismer som fisk, krabbe og tang, samt i bunnsedimentene. Det ventes ikke større endringer i forholdene på dypt vann. Ett samlet utslipp på 30 m dyp og bruk av diffusor på avløpsledningen anbefales for å sikre best innlagring og fortynning
Gene S. Jacobsen, Saving the legacy: an oral history of Utah\u27s World War II veterans, ACCN 2070, American West Center, University of Utah
No full textTranscript (102 pages) of an interview by Winston Erickson with Gene S. Jacobsen, on July 11, 2002. From tape numbers 466 and 467 in the "Saving the Legacy" Oral History ProjectJacobsen (b. 1921) recalls his rural childhood in Montpelier, Idaho, including work as a sheep herder following high school. He joined the Army Air Corps in 1940 and served in the Phillipines. He became a prisoner of war and survived the Bataan Death March, to become a prisoner of war at Camp O\u27Donnell. In 1944 he boarded a ship and was sent to Kyushu to work for the Mitsui Coal Mining Company, operated by the Japanese Army. He was liberated in 1945. Interviewed by Winston Erickson. 102 pages
Cisgenesis: an important sub-invention for traditional plant breeding companies
No full textModern plant breeding is highly dependent on new technologies to master future problems. More traits have to be combined, frequently originating from wild species. Traditional breeding is connected with linkage drag problems. The crop plant itself and its crossable species represent the traditional breeders gene pool. GM-breeding is a new way of improving existing varieties. Transgenes originate from non-crossable species and are representing a new gene pool. For release of GM-plants into the environment and onto the market in Europe Directive 2001/18/EC has been developed, primarily based on GM-technology and not on gene source. In society, opposition against GM crops is complicating the implementation of GM crops. In this paper, it is shown that not only transgenes, representing a new gene pool but also cisgenes and intragenes are available, representing the breeders gene pool. Cisgenes are natural genes and intragenes are composed of functional parts of natural genes from the crop plant itself or from crossable species. Cisgenesis is the combined use of only cisgenes with marker-free transformation, mimicking linkage drag free introgression breeding in one step. Therefore, cisgenesis is a new sub-invention in the traditional breeding field and indicates the need for reconsideration of GM Directives. Inventions are frequently containing not only hardware elements, but also software and orgware elements. For cisgenesis it is foreseen that the technical (hardware) and bioinformatic (software) elements will develop smoothly, but that implementation in society is highly dependent on acceptance and regulations (orgware). It could be made in a step by step approach by specific crop-gene derogations from the Directive, followed by adding cisgenesis to annex 1b of Directive 2001/18/EC for exemption. At present GM crops can only be introduced by large companies. An open innovation approach for cisgenesis by public private partnership including traditional SMEs has been discussed. Cisgenesis has been exemplified for resistance breeding of potato to Phytophthtora infestans
Immunological Evaluation of Patients Affected with Jacobsen Syndrome Reveals Profound Not Age-Related Lymphocyte Alterations
No full textPurpose: Jacobsen syndrome (JS) is a rare form of genetic disorder that was recently classified as a syndromic immunodeficiency. Available detailed immunological data from JS patients are limited. Methods: Clinical and immunological presentation of twelve pediatric patients with JS by means of revision of clinical records, flow cytometry, real-time PCR, and lymphocyte functional testing were collected. Results: Recurrent infections were registered in 6/12 patients (50%), while bleeding episodes in 2/12 (16.7%). White blood cell and absolute lymphocyte counts were reduced in 8/12 (66.7%) and 7/12 (58.3%) patients, respectively. Absolute numbers of CD3+ and CD4+ T cells were reduced in 8/12 (66.7%) and 7/12 (58.3%), respectively. Of note, recent thymic emigrants (RTE) were reduced in all tested patients (9/9), with T-cell receptor excision circle analysis (TRECs) showing a similar trend in 8/9 patients; naïve CD4+ T cells were low only in 5/11 patients (45.4%). Interestingly, B-cell counts, IgM memory B cells, and IgM serum levels were reduced in 10/12 (83.3%) patients. Natural killer (NK) cell counts were mostly normal but the percentages of CD16+CD56low/− cells were expanded in 7/7 patients tested. The observed immunological alterations did not correlate with patients’ age. Finally, responses to proliferative stimuli were normal at presentation for all patients, although they may deteriorate over time. Conclusions: Our data suggest that patients affected with JS may display important numeric and maturational alterations in the T-, B-, and NK-cell compartments. These findings suggest that JS patients should be regularly monitored from an immunological point of view
Liquid Criminology
No full textWe begin the chapter with this question: how does the work of practicing criminologists relate to that of forensic criminologists? To answer this, we must understand first what forensic crim-inology is, and how it – as a practical sub-branch of criminology – diverges from the more theo-retical community. To understand why those studying crime and criminals need to be aware of what their forensic counterparts are doing, we also need to highlight the areas where forensic criminology is applied. This will introduce our argument for how forensic criminology uses well known criminological research concepts and methods in a forensic capacity, to educate and answer questions for stakeholders working in the criminal justice system. We will explain, us-ing examples, the methods used by forensic criminologists to apply theoretical knowledge to the study of individuals, including differentiating between inductive and deductive logic. We will describe how forensic criminologists use structured professional judgement as a research method to make conclusions which are of practical use to investigators, advocates, and the court. Finally, we will compare and contrast how research in forensic criminology relates to more traditional endeavours, highlighting the different role that theory plays in the development of research questions across the two branches of the discipline

Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Jacobsen Syndrome
No full textPurpose: Many congenital disorders are associated with an elevated risk of obstructive sleep apnea due to craniofacial abnormalities, hypotonia, and obesity. We describe a male with an 11q deletion (Jacobsen syndrome) with obstructive sleep apnea. Report of Case: The patient was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea, but was unable to adhere to positive airway pressure therapy due to mask discomfort. Discussion: Obstructive sleep apnea is common in many congenital disorders. Implications for cognitive functioning, as well as the potential for cognitive improvements following treatment are discussed. Screening polysomnography may be indicated in patients with Jacobsen syndrome given their high likelihood of obstructive sleep apnea.12 month embargo; published: 21 April 2019This item from the UA Faculty Publications collection is made available by the University of Arizona with support from the University of Arizona Libraries.
