Letter from P.A. Sharkey to Hagan
No full textHolograph letter from P.A. Sharkey, Strokestown, County Roscommon, to (Hagan), enclosing a copy of Erin's Lily and copies for Dr. O'Dea and Dr. Magennis. Also enclosing letter from himself as President of The Davis-Ideal Realizers (a student society now obsolete) Strokestown, to Bishop Thomas O'Dea, Rome: detailed account of his personal and professional troubles since 1912, at the hands of Dr. Hogan of Maynooth and his diocesans, Bishops Clancy and Coyne of Elphin, because of nationalist leanings made apparent when he was in college. He has since been ordained, worked in the Archdiocese of Boston, in Brooklyn, was recalled, but his ordination is now questioned, and appointments in the diocese are made disregarding him. He has been assisted at different times by Dr. Mannix, Fr. O'Flanagan, Dr. Kinnane of Maynooth. Giving other reasons why he is a 'persona non grata' in the diocese. Explaining how O'Dea may be of help to him; sending him literature
High resolution x-ray characterization of periodically domain-inverted nonlinear optical crystals
No full textA high-resolution triple-axis diffractometer has been used for the structural characterization of periodically domain-inverted nonlinear optical crystals of KTiOPO4 and LNbO3. Striations have been revealed in high strain-sensitivity multiple-crystal topographs of the domain-inverted regions of both these samples and these are dominated by orientation contrast. The combination of high-resolution reciprocal-space mapping and topography has shown that the extended diffraction streak in the q[210] direction for domain-inverted LiNbO3 originates from the "minutely misoriented structure" which is related to the original configuration of dislocations. The reason for the generation of the structural imperfections via the domain-inversion processing is interpreted in terms of the converse piezoelectric effect

A clinical and molecular study of 26 females with Xp deletions with special emphasis on inherited deletions
No full textWe have undertaken a clinical study of 26 females with deletions of Xp including five mother–daughter pairs. Cytogenetic and molecular analyses have mapped the breakpoints of the deletions. We determined the parental origin of each abnormality and studied the X-inactivation patterns. We describe the clinical features and compare them with the amount of Xp material lost. We discuss the putative loci for features of Turner syndrome and describe how our series contributes further to their delineation. We conclude that (1) fertility can be retained even with the loss of two-thirds of Xp, thus, if there are genes on Xp for ovarian development, they must be at Xp11–Xp11.2; (2) in our sample of patients there is no evidence to support the existence of a single lymphogenic gene on Xp; (3) there is no evidence for a second stature locus in proximal Xp; (4) there is no evidence to support the existence of a single gene for naevi; (5) we suggest that the interval in Xp21.1–Xp11.4 between DXS997 and DXS1368 may contain a gene conferring a predisposition to hypothyroidism

Application of a sex chromosome tiling path BAC array for the CGH analysis of X and Y abnormalities
No full textElectron tomography of heterogeneous catalysts
No full textEMAG conferences are biennial events organised by the Electron Microscopy and Analysis Group of the Institute of Physics. The aim of the EMAG conference series is to provide a forum for discussion of the latest developments in instrumentation, techniques and applications of electron and scanning probe microscopies. EMAG 2003, the latest conference in this series, was held at the University of Oxford in September 2003. Electron microscopy is now a mainstay characterisation tool for solid state physicists and chemists as well as materials scientists. This volume is intended as a reference covering current developments in this field mainly in the UK but also further afield
Simple drag prediction strategies for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle’s hull shape
No full textThe range of an AUV is dictated by its finite energy source and minimising the energy consumption is required to maximise its endurance. One option to extend the endurance is by obtaining the optimum hydrodynamic hull shape with balancing the trade-off between computational cost and fluid dynamic fidelity. An AUV hull form has been optimised to obtain low resistance hull. Hydrodynamic optimisation of hull form has been carried out by employing five parametric geometry models with a streamlined constraint. Three Genetic Algorithm optimisation procedures are applied by three simple drag predictions which are based on the potential flow method. The results highlight the effectiveness of considering the proposed hull shape optimisation procedure for the early stage of AUV hull desig
Investigation of the origins of human autosomal inversions
No full textA significant proportion of both pericentric and paracentric inversions have recurrent breakpoints and so could either have arisen through multiple independent events or be identical by descent (IBD) with a single common ancestor. Of two common variant inversions previously studied, the inv(2)(p11q13) was genuinely recurrent while the inv(10)(p11.2q21.2) was IBD in all cases tested. Excluding these two variants we have ascertained 257 autosomal inversion probands at the Wessex Regional Genetics Laboratory. There were 104 apparently recurrent inversions, representing 35 different breakpoint combinations and we speculated that at least some of these had arisen on more than one occasion. However, haplotype analysis identified no recurrent cases among eight inversions tested, including the variant inv(5)(p13q13). The cases not IBD were shown to have different breakpoints at the molecular cytogenetic level. No crossing over was detected within any of the inversions and the founder haplotypes extended for variable distances beyond the inversion breakpoints. Defining breakpoint intervals by FISH mapping identified no obvious predisposing elements in the DNA sequence. In summary the vast majority of human inversions arise as unique events. Even apparently recurrent inversions, with the exception of the inv(2)(p12q13), are likely to be either derived from a common ancestor or to have subtly different breakpoints. Presumably the lack of selection against most inversions allows them to accumulate and disperse amongst different populations over tim
