Genome Sequences of Soft Rot-Causing Pectobacterium Isolates from Different Vegetables
No full textEleven Pectobacterium strains were isolated from soft rot-diseased vegetables. Here, we report their genome sequences and characteristics. Five isolates were found to be Pectobacterium versatile, while the other six were determined to be Pectobacterium brasiliense.This article is published as Wasendorf, Chloe, Dylan L.

Identification of a novel type of spacer element required for imprinting in fission yeast
No full textAsymmetrical segregation of differentiated sister chromatids is thought to be important for cellular differentiation in higher
eukaryotes. Similarly, in fission yeast, cellular differentiation involves the asymmetrical segregation of a chromosomal
imprint. This imprint has been shown to consist of two ribonucleotides that are incorporated into the DNA during laggingstrand
synthesis in response to a replication pause, but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. Here we present key
novel discoveries important for unravelling this process. Our data show that cis-acting sequences within the mat1 cassette
mediate pausing of replication forks at the proximity of the imprinting site, and the results suggest that this pause dictates
specific priming at the position of imprinting in a sequence-independent manner. Also, we identify a novel type of cis-acting
spacer region important for the imprinting process that affects where subsequent primers are put down after the
replication fork is released from the pause. Thus, our data suggest that the imprint is formed by ligation of a not-fullyprocessed
Okazaki fragment to the subsequent fragment. The presented work addresses how differentiated sister
chromatids are established during DNA replication through the involvement of replication barriers

Globalising care? Town twinning in Britain since 1945
No full textTown twinning describes the establishment and practice, by various groups and to various ends, of relatively formal and long-term relationships between settlements usually located in different nation-states. Twin towns are sometimes called sister cities. This paper draws on a study of town twinning that focused on the involvement of British localities since the end of the Second World War and analysed data collected by the Local Government Association (for England and Wales), materials archived in the National Archives at Kew, London and various local record offices, and transcripts of interviews with representatives of relevant local, national, and international organisations. The paper makes three main contributions. Firstly, it provides a brief history of town twinning involving British localities. Secondly, it develops from this historical narrative an original conceptualisation of town twinning, arguing that it should be approached less as a coherent movement and more as a device, a repertoire, and a model. Thirdly, it argues that town twinning has often been used as a device for extending care across space – and that much can be learned from its history for contemporary geographies of care. Town twinning participants have approached the problem of care-at-a-distance as both an ontological problem and a practical problem. Some have focused more than others on the role of distanciated causal relationships in the generation of needs in distant places. Some are currently encountering another problem as they attempt to globalise care: the problem of care-in-a-hurry
Conflict in the East China Sea: would ANZUS apply?
No full textThis paper analyses the circumstances under which conflict in the East China Sea could occur and the implications for Australia.
Executive summary
Tensions between China and Japan have ratcheted up in recent years to the point where their territorial dispute over islands in the East China Sea is seen as among the region’s most dangerous flashpoints. The prospect of Sino-Japanese conflict over these islands is one that cannot be taken lightly by Australia. Economically, three of our four leading trading partners are located in Northeast Asia, while sea lanes vital to Australian trade run through the waters of the East China Sea. Strategically and politically, two US allies are based in this region and America retains a strong forward military presence there.
This paper starts from the premise that insufficient attention has been given to the potential ramifications for Australia of conflict in the East China Sea, particularly in terms of whether Australia’s alliance obligations with the United States could embroil Canberra in a conflict. The paper is motivated in part by Defence Minister Johnston’s June 2014 remarks stating that the ANZUS alliance would not commit Australia to a conflict where the US had sent forces to support Japan. While reminiscent of remarks made a decade earlier by then-Foreign Minister Alexander Downer in relation to the prospect of Australian involvement via ANZUS in a Taiwan contingency, Johnston’s assessment has not attracted anywhere near the same level of attention and analysis as those made by Downer in August 2004.
The purpose of this paper is to begin to fill this gap in Australia’s public and policy debate by analysing the circumstances under which conflict in the East China Sea could occur and the implications thereof for Australia. The paper answers three questions:
1. What does Australia’s alliance relationship with the US commit Canberra to in the event of conflict in the East China Sea?
2. What are the risks that Australia faces as a result of ANZUS and other associated international commitments?
3. What can be done to better understand and manage these risks
Perspectives on ‘the lens of risk’ interview series: interviews with Tom Horlick-Jones, Paul Slovic and Andy Alaszewski
No full textThis article is the fourth and final of an interview series with a selection of significant contributors to the social science of risk. It provides quasi-verbatim interviews with Tom Horlick-Jones, Paul Slovic and Andy Alaszewski. Tom Horlick-Jones contributed to Chapter 6 of the Royal Society Risk monograph, on risk management. He offers further insights into the debates which underlay its production to those given by Nick Pidgeon in the first article of this series. Paul Slovic provides a North American perspective on risk social science. Andy Alaszewski, in the last of the eight interviews, discusses his views about risk in relation to the evolution of his journal, Health, Risk & Society
Sequence effects in categorization of simple perceptual stimuli
No full textCategorization research typically assumes that the cognitive system has access to a (more or less noisy) representation of the absolute magnitudes of the properties of stimuli and that this information is used in reaching a categorization decision. However, research on identification of simple perceptual stimuli suggests that people have very poor representations of absolute magnitude information and that judgments about absolute magnitude are strongly influenced by preceding material. The experiments presented here investigate such sequence effects in categorization tasks. Strong sequence effects were found. Classification of a borderline stimulus was more accurate when preceded by a distant member of the opposite category than by a distant member of the same category. It is argued that this category contrast effect cannot be accounted for by extant exemplar or decision-bound models of categorization. The effect suggests the use of relative magnitude information in categorization. A memory and contrast model illustrates how relative magnitude information may be used in categorization
