To: George Winter, Lafayette
ALS, 2 p. (one sheet)Discussion of some money Bryant owes G.W. and the riskiness of sending money by mail. Regarding some prominent figures connected with the Pottawattamis: Sin-a-ga-wa (a great orator), Father Petit (the circumstances of his death, the hardships of the emigration march), Pawk-shuk or young Aub-be-naub-be (a "savage" who killed his own father and wounded his wife), Pash-po (a great dandy). Some stories of his acquaintance with these Indians, expecially on the emigration. Has no time to deal with G.W.'s Indian sketches at that point

Characterization of brain malformations in the Baraitser-Winter syndrome and review of the literature
No full textBaraitser-Winter syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by developmental delay, dysmorphic features, and multiple malformations also involving the brain. We report a further case and provide updated information about an unrelated girl reported in the original paper by Baraitser and Winter. Both of them presented with pachygyria and the latter case was recently found to have subcortical band heterotopia on high resolution brain MRI imaging. These two patients and a review of the previously reported cases indicate that a specific pattern of brain anomalies falling in the agyria-pachygyria-band spectrum is associated with this dysmorphic syndrome, which may be considered another example of syndromic neuronal migration defect
Prediction of eyespot severity on winter wheat or winter barley inoculated with W-type or R-type isolates of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides
No full textIn crops of winter wheat (1986-88) or winter barley (1987-88) inoculated with W-type or R-type isolates of Pseudocercosporella herpotrichoides and sown on different dates (1986) or at different seed rates (1987, 1988) eyespot epidemics developed in different ways. Methods of measuring eyespot incidence/severity during crop growth were compared for their ability to predict eyespot severity at grain filling. Regressions were calculated for eyespot severity score at GS 71 on earlier measurements, either at GS 30/31 (11 methods) or from GS 22 to GS 65 (3 methods). Based on measurements at GS 30/31, all the methods predicted eyespot severity at GS 71 well in plots of winter barley inoculated with W-type isolates (r, 0.83-0.97) but the accuracy of predictions in plots inoculated with R-type isolates was very variable (r, 0.09-0.71). Predictions for 1987 and 1988 were less accurate in wheat than in W-type plots of barley, but did not differ between W-type and R-type plots (r, 0.70-0.89). When the wheat data for 1986 were also included predictions were less accurate, especially in R-type plots (r, 0-0.59). Generally, it was easier to predict eyespot severity at GS 71 in W-type than in R-type plots, especially in barley and in wheat before GS 37/39. Predictions of eyespot severity at GS 71 based on measurements before GS 25 were inaccurate for both wheat and barley. After GS 25 the accuracy of the prediction was generally good in W-type plots and did not improve greatly except in wheat after GS 59. However, there was a steady improvement in the accuracy of the prediction in R-type plots of barley from GS 24 to GS 53. Assessments of eyespot incidence on stems predicted eyespot severity at GS 71 more accurately than assessments on leaf sheaths on wheat after GS 37/39, but were not as good on barley until GS 53
Rentrez: An R package for the NCBI eUtils API
No full textThe USA National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) is one of the world's most important sources of biological information. NCBI databases like PubMed and GenBank contain millions of records describing bibliographic, genetic, genomic, and medical data. Here I present rentrez, a package which provides an R interface to 50 NCBI databases. The package is well-documented, contains an extensive suite of unit tests and has an active user base. The programmatic interface to the NCBI provided by rentrez allows researchers to query databases and download or import particular records into R sessions for subsequent analysis. The complete nature of the package, its extensive test-suite and the fact the package implements the NCBI's usage policies all make rentrez a powerful aid to developers of new packages that perform more specific tasks.Publishe
Chemical ozone loss in the Arctic winter 1991–1992
No full textChemical ozone loss in winter 1991–1992 is recalculated based on observations of the HALOE satellite instrument, Version 19, ER-2 aircraft measurements and balloon data. HALOE satellite observations are shown to be reliable in the lower stratosphere below 400 K, at altitudes where the measurements are most likely disturbed by the enhanced sulfate aerosol loading, as a result of the Mt.~Pinatubo eruption in June 1991. Significant chemical ozone loss (13–17 DU) is observed below 380 K from Kiruna balloon observations and HALOE satellite data between December 1991 and March 1992. For the two winters after the Mt. Pinatubo eruption, HALOE satellite observations show a stronger extent of chemical ozone loss towards lower altitudes compared to other Arctic winters between 1991 and 2003. In spite of already occurring deactivation of chlorine in March 1992, MIPAS-B and LPMA balloon observations indicate that chlorine was still activated at lower altitudes, consistent with observed chemical ozone loss occurring between February and March and April. Large chemical ozone loss of more than 70 DU in the Arctic winter 1991–1992 as calculated in earlier studies is corroborated here
Optimal Grazing Termination Date for Dual-Purpose Winter Wheat Production
No full textDual-purpose winter wheat (fall-winter forage plus grain) production is an important economic enterprise in the southern Great Plains. Grazing termination to enable grain production is a critical decision. The objective is to determine the optimal grazing termination date for dual-purpose wheat. The value of knowing the occurrence of first hollow stem (FHS), a wheat growth threshold for grazing termination, is also determined. Results indicate that for most price situations grazing should be terminated at or before FHS. Marginal wheat returns from extended grazing were negative and the value of FHS information ranges from 10 per acre.dual-purpose, first hollow stem, plateau function, stocker cattle, value of information, wheat, Agribusiness, Agricultural Finance, Crop Production/Industries, Farm Management, Land Economics/Use, Livestock Production/Industries, Production Economics, Q12, Q16,
External evaluation of the Finnish-Swedish Winter navigation R&I programme
No full textIn the winter navigation research and operations collaboration, Finland and Sweden are taking on a wide range of common challenges in ice infested seaborn trade and regulatory framework in the northernmost parts of Europe. Achievements from the cooperation have also provided important knowledge and experiences, stimulating public and private operators, shipbuilders and users of maritime logistic resources towards more secure, cost efficient and climate smart solutions. Countries with icy winter conditions in the Baltic Sea as well as the connectivity of EU transport network benefits from progress made in winter navigation research.The research and innovation cooperation through the Winter Navigation Research Board (WNRB) is based on a joint Swedish - Finnish agreement dating back to 1972. In order to take stock and report on developments the Finnish and Swedish maritime agencies, members of the WNRB and cooperation (Finnish Transport Infrastructure Agency, Finnish Transport and Communications Agency, Swedish Maritime Administration and the Swedish Transport Agency) have decided to evaluate 50 years of research and cooperation.In their evaluation report, two external and independent evaluators, one from Finland and one from Sweden, have focused their assessment efforts on some main areas. These main areas include the overall governance, organisation and processes, research calls, research quality, research results and their societal impact and the relevance for winter navigation and operational icebreaking services. Furthermore, the evaluators assessed funding arrangements and long-term cooperation in demand driven winter navigation research. The WNRB also requested that the evaluation would present some recommendations on future development as well as the further strengthening of winter navigation research in the light of international developments.The results of the evaluation will serve as a basis for addressing needs, shortcomings and how to build a more robust winter navigation research among transport authorities in Finland and Sweden for the coming 50 years.</p
