Population genetics characteristics of a 90 locus panel of microhaplotypes
No full textMicrohaplotype genotype data for 556 individuals (with anonymized identifiers) from 16 population samples.[1] This research receiveded funding support in part from the National Institute of Justice of the U.S. Department of Justice, grant number 2018-75-CX-0041 awarded to Kenneth K. Kidd, Ph.D. and in part from the National Institute of Health of the United States, grant number R01-HD102537 awarded to Curt Scharfe, M.D., Ph.D.
[2] The many samples of populations studied in the Kidd laboratory since 1985 have all been collected with informed consent under a general Yale protocol (HIC#8711001387) that was reviewed and approved by the NIGMS and CEPH. One third of the samples in the CEPH-HGDP collection came from Kidd lab population samples. (NIGMS stands for National Institute of General Medical Sciences within the U.S. National Institute of Health. French acronym CEPH translates as the Center for the Study of Human Polymorphisms. HGDP indicates the Human Genome Diversity Project.

Additional file 1: Table S1. of Proposed nomenclature for microhaplotypes
No full textProposed standardized symbols for the 31 microhaplotype loci in Kidd et al. [2]. The first column gives the symbol used in that paper. The second column lists the standardized microhaplotype locus symbol. The SNPs involved in these loci remain the same except for two. Microhaplotype mh01KK-001 has had two SNPs added (indicated by asterisks) extending the length to 259 bp. Microhaplotype mh01Nakahara (originally identified by Dr. Nakahara but not otherwise named by him) has one new SNP (also indicated by an asterisk) added by Kidd Lab; the new extent is 279Â bp.

The root causes of Stope Slippage at Kidd Mine, Canada
No full textKidd Mine has a production target of 2.5 million tonnes of ore per year in 2010. Seventy-five stopes are turned over to the next stope in order to achieve this annual production. Each turnover from stope to stope has an anticipated number of days based on the geomechanical relation between them. Due to the depth and size of the operation, it is crucial that this turnover takes place within the anticipated time to avoid delays in the mining sequence and cycle and set-backs in production. Currently delays in the stope turnover occur, this is called stope slippage. This thesis describes the occurrence and size of stope slippage in longhole mining, presents a system to identify and track the root causes of stope slippage and ranks the root causes of stope slippage at Kidd Mine. A flowchart was created to present the system of identifying and ranking root causes of stope slippage.Section Resource EngineeringCivil Engineering and Geoscience
Volney, 'The ruins' and 'Catechism of natural law'
No full textVolney was once as influential as Tom Paine, and the author of one of the most popular works of the French Revolutionary era. The Ruins makes an argument for popular sovereignty, couched in the alluring and accessible form of an Oriental dream-tale. A favourite of both Thomas Jefferson, who translated it, and the young Abraham Lincoln, the Ruins advances a scheme of radical, utopian politics premised upon the deconstruction of all the world’s religions. It was widely celebrated by radicals in Britain and America, and exercised an enormous influence on poets from Percy Bysshe Shelley to Walt Whitman for its indictments of tyranny and priestcraft. Volney instead advocates a return to natural precepts shorn of superstition, set out in his sequel, the Catechism of Natural Law. These days Volney enjoys a high profile in African-American Studies as a proponent of Black Egyptianism

Genetic relationships of Southwest Asian and Mediterranean populations
No full textThe Southwest Asian, circum-Mediterranean, and Southern European populations (collectively, SWAMSE) together with Northern European populations form one of five "continental" groups of global populations in many analyses of population relationships. This region is of great anthropologic and forensic interest but relationships of large numbers of populations within the region have not been able to be cleanly resolved with autosomal genetic markers. To examine the genetic boundaries to the SWAMSE region and whether internal structure can be detected we have assembled data for a total of 151 separate autosomal genetic markers on populations in this region and other parts of the world for a global set of 95 populations. The markers include 83 ancestry informative SNPs as singletons and 68 microhaplotype loci defined by 204 SNPs. The 151 loci are ancestry informative on a global scale, identifying at least five biogeographic clusters. One of those clusters is a clear grouping of 37 populations containing the SWAMSE plus northern European populations to the exclusion of populations in South Central Asia and populations from farther East. A refined analysis of the 37 populations shows the northern European populations clustering separately from the SWAMSE populations. Within Southwest Asia the Samaritans and Shabaks are distinct outliers. The Yemenite Jews, Saudi, Kuwaiti, Palestinian Arabs, and Southern Tunisians cluster together loosely while the remaining populations from Northern Iraq, Mediterranean Europe, the Caucasus region, and Iran cluster in a more complex graded fashion. The majority of the SWAMSE populations from the mainland of Southwest Asia form a cluster with little internal structure reflecting a very complex history of endogamy and migrations. The set of 151 DNA polymorphisms not only distinguishes major geographical regions globally but can distinguish ancestry to a small degree within geographical regions such as SWAMSE. We discuss forensic characteristics of the polymorphisms and also identify those that rank highest by Rosenberg's I-n measure for the SWAMSE region populations and for the global set of populations analyzed
