The role of stored fish in England 900-1750AD; the evidence from historical and archaeological data
No full textThis thesis examines the historical and archaeological data for the consumption of herring and the gadid fishes (primarily cod, haddock, whiting, ling and hake) as stored fish cured by salting, drying and smoking. The thesis is divided into three parts, in the first part the historical evidence for developing fisheries, storage methods, marketing and consumption is discussed with an evaluation of the nutritional changes to the fish as a result of storage. In part two factors affecting fish bone preservation and recovery are presented and the authors own recording criteria. A new methodology is introduced using the documented data for portions and rations from monasteries and the forces, showing herring and the gadids by volume of fish eaten compared with the number of bones counted. Distribution of body parts as evidence for stored and fresh fish in the large gadids, hitherto only used to show processing is adapted for application to the data sample which largely represents consumption. In part three the 20 sites comprising the data sample are described. Portion and body part methods are applied to the herring and gadid bones from these assemblages. In the majority of sites herring predominate by number of bones, by portion cod becomes the primary fish in many cases. Evidence for stored codling and hake were found by body part distribution in many assemblages. The results of this study have shown that the archaeological data when expressed as a volume of fish supports the historical evidence for cod as the prime fish among these species, both as fresh and stored. Fish assemblages transcribed into portion from bone numbers present fish as a volume of food and often relegate herring, excessively favoured by bone numbers, into a subsidiary position

Domain-domain interactions in high mobility group 1 protein (HMG1)
No full textThe high mobility group protein HMG1 is a conserved chromosomal protein with two homologous DNA-binding domains, A and B, and an acidic carboxy-terminal tail, C. The structure of isolated domains A and B has been previously determined by NMR, but the interactions of the different domains within the complete protein were unknown. By means of differential scanning calorimetry and circular dichroism we have investigated the thermal stability of HMG1, of the truncated protein A-B (HMG1 without the acidic tail C) and of the isolated domains A and B. In 3 mM sodium acetate buffer, pH 5, the thermal melting of domains A and B are identical (transition temperature t(m) = 43 degrees C and 41 degrees C, denaturation enthalpies Delta H = 46 kcal.mol(-1)). The thermal melting of protein A-B presents two nearly identical transitions (t(m) = 40 degrees C and 41 degrees C, Delta H = 44 kcal mol(-1) and 46 kcal.mol(-1), respectively). We conclude that the two domains A and B within protein A-B behave as independent domains. The thermal melting of HMG1 is biphasic. The two transitions have a different value of t(m) (38 degrees C and 55 degrees C) and corresponding values of Delta H around 40 kcal.mol(-1). We conclude that within HMG1, the acidic tail C is interacting with one of the two domains A and B, however, the two domains A and B do not interact with each other. At 37 degrees C, one of the two domains A and B, within HMG1, is partly unfolded, whereas the other which interacts with the acidic tail C, is fully native. The interaction free energy of the acidic tail C is estimated to be in the range of 2.5 kcal.mol(-1) based on simulations of the thermograms of HMG1 as a function of the interaction free energy

Spatio-temporal analysis of Australia Post parcel locker use during the initial system growth phase in Queensland (2013–2017)
No full textThere has been limited understanding of parcel locker customers' usage behaviour due a lack of operational data. Using Australia Post's dataset of 51 Queensland parcel lockers, we were able to evaluate the growth in locker locations and customers' parcel collection patterns over their formative five years (2013–2017). This allows for the in-depth spatio-temporal analysis of parcel collections, parcel dwell times, and other relevant variables using linear and mixed regression. This helped to identify the geographical factors associated with the volumes of transactions at each locker, providing new understanding of lockers by location typologies (central, suburban, regional), the separation distances from registered users' addresses (n = 23,021) to their parcel locker locations, and the use of multiple locker locations by users. We found Australia Post parcel locker use grew consistently over the initial growth stage, with noticeable peaks during summer months and holiday seasons. Most collections (40%) were completed outside normal business hours, supporting the 24/7 service advantage. Locker use was higher during weekdays, with peaks around the morning and evening travel peak hours and during lunch breaks within the day. Lunchtime pickups were especially pronounced in central city locations. Parcel dwell times (from notification to collection) were fairly stable (mean 15.53 mins; standard deviation (SD) 20.94 mins), but with weekend collections taking considerably longer than on weekdays. Multiple locker users were more likely to be located in dense urban areas where they could conveniently register to use lockers near both their homes and workplace. Distance from home to locker ranged widely, with extremely high standard deviations seen in Queensland as a whole (mean 23.07 km; median 3.35 km; SD 138.17 km) and also in Brisbane (mean 9.99 km; median 2.61 km; SD 85.42 km) – this suggests usage by individuals from out-of-town. Parcel locker users who made a pickup in the central business district of Brisbane often had suburban residential addresses closer to suburban parcel locker locations, suggesting they were commuters. This study presented novel empirical findings of the spatial and temporal use patterns of last-mile delivery that can inform the future development of parcel locker systems.Full Tex

On the relationship between vaccinia virus intracellular cores, early mRNAs and DNA replication sites.
No full textVirus assembly, a late event in the life cycle of vaccinia virus (VV), is preceded by a number of steps that all occur in the cytoplasm of the infected host cell: virion entry, delivery of the viral core into the cytoplasm, and transcription from these cores of early mRNAs, followed by the process of DNA replication. In the present study the quantitative and structural relationships between these distinct steps of VV morphogenesis were investigated. We show that viral RNA and DNA synthesis increases linearly with increasing amounts of incoming cores. Moreover, at multiplicities of infection that result in 10 to 40 cores per cell, an approximately 1:1 ratio between cores and sites of DNA replication exists, suggesting that each core is infectious. We have shown previously that W early mRNAs collect in distinct granular structures that recruit components of the host cell translation machinery. Strikingly, these structures appeared to form some distance away from intracellular cores (M. Mallardo, S. Schleich, and J. Krijnse Locker, Mol. Biol. Cell 12:3875-3891, 2001). In the present study the intracellular locations of the sites of early mRNA accumulation and those of the subsequent process of DNA replication were compared. We show that these are distinct structures that have different intracellular locations. Finally, we study the fate of the parental DNA after core uncoating. By electron microscopy, cores were found close to membranes of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and the parental DNA, once it had left the core, appeared to associate preferentially with the cytosolic side of those membranes. Since we have previously shown that the process of DNA replication occurs in an ER-enclosed cytosolic "subcompartment" (N. Tolonen, L. Doglio, S. Schleich, and J. Krijnse Locker, Mol. Biol. Cell 12:2031-2046, 2001), the present data suggest that the parental DNA is released into the cytosol and associates with the same membranes where DNA replication is subsequently initiated. The combined data are discussed with respect to the cytosolic organization of VV morphogenesis
