George J. Mitchell: Maine\u27s Environmental Senator
No full textThe State of Maine is blessed with a history of impressive and respected politicians. Among others, the list includes James Blaine, Margaret Chase Smith, and Edmund S. Muskie. The State now must add the name of George J. Mitchell to these ranks. A native son of Waterville, Maine, he attended Bowdoin College, Georgetown University Law Center, and eventually catapulted himself into one of the most powerful political positions in the United States government when he was elected as majority leader of the United States Senate. During his tenure as majority leader, he helped to redefine the position through his strong work ethic, sense of fairness, and orientation toward results in the Senate. This Comment summarizes some of those results through an environmental lens, focusing on Mitchell\u27s contributions to federal environmental legislation in the late 1980s. As Mitchell served in the Senate for fourteen years, six as the majority leader, he sponsored or cosponsored countless pieces of legislation. Environmental protection, however, always was a focus of his public service. In that vein, this Comment canvasses Senator Mitchell\u27s influence on the provisions of the Water Quality Act of 1987, the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, and the Oil Pollution Act of 1990, three major legislative accomplishments aimed at protecting the environment. This Comment analyzes those provisions of each Act for which Senator Mitchell fought most ardently and discusses the different tactics and strategies he employed to secure passage of each of these important bills. Finally, this Comment is a tribute to a Maine native who dedicated his life to public service. This Author recognizes that no one Senator could be solely responsible for any of these three pieces of environmental legislation. Nonetheless, only a few Senators held the key to passage of each of these acts. George J. Mitchell was one of the those Senators. Senator Mitchell\u27s contributions to environmental law can be understood only by viewing his Senate career in context. First, Mitchell served as a Federal District Court Judge for the District of Maine

sparrpowR: Power Analysis to Detect Spatial Relative Risk Clusters
No full textCalculate the statistical power to detect clusters using kernel-based spatial relative risk functions that are estimated using the 'sparr' package. Details about the 'sparr' package methods can be found in the tutorial: Davies et al. (2018) . Details about kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1990) . More information about relative risk functions using kernel density estimation can be found in J. F. Bithell (1991)
The use of 3D printed paediatric temporal bones as a training tool
No full textIntroduction: Temporal bone dissection is an essential component of otological training. The ideal temporal bone training platform should allow the surgeon to prepare and undertake the actual operative procedure required prior to the operation on the patient. Paediatric temporal bones are generally not available or used due to ethical issues and availability.Methods: Using specialised computer programmes and non-identifiable paediatric high resolution computed tomography (HRCT) scans of temporal bones 3D printing of paediatric temporal bones has been trialled.Results: 3D printing of paediatric temporal bones has proved both an economical and anatomically accurate tool for training. Using HRCT scans to print from allows cases of appropriate complexity to be selected. Conclusion: 3D printed temporal bones from HRCT images provide optimal opportunities for paediatric temporal bone training and allow for more accurate delineation of structures. Furthermore, they provide improved haptics through choice of appropriate material, especially in complex cases and where anatomy may be difficult
Automated pneumococcal MLST using liquid-handling robotics and a capillary DNA sequencer
No full textMultilocus sequence typing (MLST) is used by the Scottish Meningococcus and Pneumococcus Reference Laboratory (SMPRL) as a routine method for the characterization of certain bacterial pathogens. The SMPRL recently started performing MLST on strains of Streptococcus pneumoniae, and here we describe a fully automated method for MLST using a 96-well-format liquid-handling robot and a 96-capillary automated DNA sequencer
