George Barker papers
No full textBritish poet George Barker (1913-1991) was born in Loughton, Essex. Barker left school at fourteen, having acquired a love of verse but little else. Barker was a prolific writer, having published over 30 volumes of poetry and earning the respect of fellow poets such as T. S. Eliot and W. B. Yeats. Barker also published short stories, critical essays, and two novels, Alanna Autumnal (1933) and The Dead Seagull (1951). He held professorships at Imperial Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan; the State University of New York College at Buffalo; the University of Wisconsin; and Florida International University. This collection consists of ten notebooks of Barker's observations, poems, and lecture notes that were created between 1967 and 1971. There are also notes and manuscripts for various other Barker works, dating from 1939 to 1971

Gene trees for orthologous groups from "The evolution of nitrogen fixation in cyanobacteria"
No full textPhylogenetic trees for the orthologous groups predicted across 49 taxa of Cyanobacteria and 16 Proteobacteria by Latysheva et al. (2012, Bioinformatics 28:603-606; doi:10.1093/bioinformatics/bts008) are provided here. For the 13854 groups containing at least three protein sequences, phylogenies were reconstructed as follows. Multiple alignment of protein sequences was performed using MAFFT (Katoh and Toh 2008, doi:10.1093/bib/bbn013), in "E-INS-I" mode with 1000 iterations. A phylogenetic model was selected for each protein multiple alignment by the Bayesian Information Criterion in MODELGENERATOR (Keane et al. 2006, doi:10.1186/1471-2148-6-29), with four Gamma-distributed rate categories for "+G" models. 200 bootstrap replicates of the multiple alignment were generated using seqboot in the PHYLIP package (Felsenstein, J. Distributed by the author. Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle). Using the selected model, phylogeny was reconstructed by maximum likelihood with PhyML (Guindon et al. 2010, doi:10.1093/sysbio/syq010), both for the original alignment and for the bootstrap replicates.mltrees.zip: 13584 unrooted ML trees in PHYLIP format. The start of each filename gives the orthologous group number. Tip labels in trees consist of the protein accession, followed by an underscore, then the three-letter abbreviation for the taxon. Orthologous group numbers and taxon abbreviations are as in Latysheva et al. (2012, 10.1093/bioinformatics/bts008).

Resolution of electrical imaging of fluid movement in landfills
No full textThis paper investigates the efficacy of time-lapse electrical imaging using surface electrodes to monitor the movement of leachate within a landfill. A laboratory-based study allowed direct comparison between observed physical dewatering and time-lapse electrical imaging data. In combination with a forward modelling study this demonstrated the limitations and advantages of this geophysical technique in terms of its applicability, resolution and complementarity to conventional dewatering monitoring techniques. It also confirmed the nature, likely magnitude and impact of artefacts created by the resistivity inversion process and highlighted the potential for misinterpretation of results. An 18-month study provided field results comparing hydrogeological and imaging data during the dewatering of a real landfill system. Insights gained from the laboratory study and forward modelling exercise greatly enhanced the interpretation of the field data, enabling the method to be applied with greater confidence in the future. The need to combine a forward modelling exercise with any interpretation of resistivity data is clearly demonstrate
Castiarina lycida Barker, new species
No full textCastiarina lycida Barker, new species (Figs 1 h, 2 h) Type material: Holotype male, 43 km W Mitchell, Qld, 19.x. 2000, on Hakea flowers, S. Barker & M. Powell, SAMA I 21 707. Size. Holotype, 11.8 x 4.0 mm. Female unknown. Description. Colour: Head dark blue with yellow reflections, mouthparts blue. Antennomeres: 1–2 blue, 3–11 bluegreen. Pronotum dark blue medially, lighter blue laterally. Scutellum black. Elytra redbrown with narrow blue narrow basal margin, black mark along suture gradually widening towards apex, expanded into preapical mark covering apex and spines. Ventral surface indigo. Legs blue. Setae silver. Shape & Sculpture: Head closely punctured, deep median sulcus, moderately elongate mouthparts. Antennomeres: 1–3 obconic: 4–11 triangular. Pronotum closely punctured, anterior margin projecting medially, basal margin slightly bisinuate, with deep basal fovea each side at basal angle, impunctate median line from base to apex, laterally angled outwards from base, rounded before middle, tapered to apex. Scutellum scutiform, medially indented, impunctate.
