Author's details	ed. by Marshall Boswell
Abstract	Of the twelve books David Foster Wallace published both during his lifetime and posthumously, only three were novels. Nevertheless, Wallace always thought of himself primarily as a novelist. From his college years at Amherst, when he wrote his first novel as part of a creative honors thesis, to his final days, Wallace was buried in a novel project, which he often referred to as ""the Long Thing."" Meanwhile, the short stories and journalistic assignments he worked on during those years he characterized as ""playing hooky from a certain Larger Thing."" Wallace was also a specific kind of noveli

Article: Chemical partitioning to foliage: the contribution and legacy of Davide Calamari.

Abstract	Background: Davide Calamari and his colleagues were among the first to appreciate that vegetation could play a key role in determining the fate and effects of organic contaminants. They conducted pioneering experiments to investigate the uptake of contaminants by plants from the atmosphere and they sought to model the observed phenomena. In the nearly two decades since there has been a marked increase in understanding of these phenomena as a result of both experimental and modelling studies. Goal: In this study we briefly review our current understanding of chemical partitioning between foliage and air. A model in both fugacity and concentration format is described, based on that of Tolls and McLachlan (1994), in which the leaf is treated as consisting of two layers, a waxy cuticle with an underlying 'reservoir' layer, the cuticle being surrounded by an air boundary layer and containing stomata that provide direct access from the air to the 'reservoir'. The model quantifies the dynamic penetration of a defined chemical into a defined leaf as a function of time. Main features: The model is applied for illustrative purposes to a hypothetical but typical leaf for a set of illustrative chemicals to demonstrate the effect of changes in physical-chemical properties and leaf characteristics. Discussion: The results are compared qualitatively with a variety of field and laboratory studies of foliage uptake and clearance of chemicals. Conclusion: It is concluded that the model yields results that are generally consistent with observations. It is suggested that with appropriate parameterisation and validation, the model can contribute to an improved understanding of the process of foliage uptake from the atmosphere and to the development of an improved predictive capability.

Abstract	The cooling history and therefore thermal structure of oceanic lithosphere in slow-spreading environments is, to date, poorly constrained. Application of thermochronometric techniques to rocks from the very slow spreading SW Indian Ridge provide for the first time a direct measure of the age and thermal history of in situ lower oceanic crust. Crystallization of felsic veins (~850?C) drilled in Hole 735B is estimated at 11.93F0.14 Ma, based on U-Pb analyses of zircon by ion probe. This crystallization age is older than the 'crustal age' from remanence inferred from both sea surface and near-bottom magnetic anomaly data gathered over Hole 735B which indicate magnetization between major normal polarity chrons C5n.2n and C5An.1n (10.949-11.935 Ma). 40Ar/39Ar analyses of biotite give plateau ages between 11 and 12 Ma (mean 11.42 +/- 0.21 Ma), implying cooling rates of >800?C/m.y. over the first 500,00 years to temperatures below ~330-400?C. Fission-track ages on zircon (mean 9.35 +/- 1.2 Ma) and apatite reveal less rapid cooling to <110?C by ~7 Ma, some 4-5 m.y. off axis. Comprehensive thermochronometric data from the structurally intact block of gabbro between ~700 and 1100 m below sea floor suggest that crust traversed by ODP Hole 735B mimics conductive cooling over the temperature range ~?900-330?C, characteristic of a 2-D plate-cooling model for oceanic lithosphere. In contrast, lower temperature chronometers (fission track on zircon, titanite, and apatite; T<=280?C) are not consistent with these predictions and record anomalously high temperatures for crust >700 m below sea floor at 8-10 Ma (i.e. 2-4 m.y. off axis). We offer two hypotheses for this thermal anomaly: (i) Off-axis (or asymmetric) magmatism that caused anomalous reheating of the crust preserved in Hole 735B. This postulated magmatic event might be a consequence of the transtension, which affected the Atlantis II transform from ~19.5 to 7.5 Ma. (ii) Late detachment faulting, which led to significant crustal denudation (2.5-3 km removed), further from the ridge axis than conventionally thought.

Abstract	Background Perforated peptic ulcer disease has a high mortality rate, and there is consensus regarding the use of antifungals in the management of immunocompromised patients; however, there is variability in the utilization of antifungals in the non-immunocompromised cohort. This study aims to describe the current practice related to the use of antifungals in perforated peptic ulcer disease in Western Australia and to determine the peri-operative morbidity and mortality in the immunocompromised and non-immunocompromised cohort receiving antifungals. Methods Medical records of patients who underwent surgical repair of perforated peptic ulcer in all Western Australian tertiary hospitals between January 1, 2010, and December 31, 2017, were reviewed retrospectively. Data regarding pre-operative patient factors such as age, gender, and comorbidities, post-operative outcomes such as intra-abdominal sepsis/bleeding, peri-operative antifungal prescription, and abundance of fungal growth on intra-operative samples were collected. Results The study included 359 patients. The antifungal prescription was variable. An American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) score of 3 or more, presence of pre-operative shock and acidosis, and level of abundance of fungal growth on intra-operative samples were associated with antifungal prescription. Amongst the non-immunocompromised cohort, receiving antifungals was associated with higher morbidity. Conclusion The use of antifungals for patients with perforated peptic ulcer disease was variable. An ASA score of 3 or greater and pre-operative shock and acidosis are pre-operative factors predisposing patients to receiving antifungals. There was no difference in morbidity or mortality amongst immunocompromised patients regardless of antifungal prescription or non-prescription. However, in the non-immunocompromised cohort, those who received antifungals had a higher morbidity compared to those who did not.

Abstract	Colour constancy refers to the constant perceived or apparent colour of a surface despite changes in illumination spectrum. Laboratory measurements have often found it imperfect. The aim here was to estimate the frequency of constancy failures in natural outdoor environments and relate them to colorimetric surface properties. A computational analysis was performed with 50 hyperspectral reflectance images of outdoor scenes undergoing simulated daylight changes. For a chromatically adapted observer, estimated colour appearance changed noticeably for at least 5% of the surface area in 60% of scenes, and at least 10% of the surface area in 44% of scenes. Somewhat higher frequencies were found for estimated changes in perceived colour relations represented by spatial ratios of cone-photoreceptor excitations. These estimated changes correlated with surface chroma and saturation. Outdoors, the colour constancy of some individual surfaces seems likely to fail, particularly if those surfaces are colourful.

Abstract	mTORC1, the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1, is a key regulator of cellular physiology. The lipid metabolite phosphatidic acid (PA) binds to and activates mTORC1 in response to nutrients and growth factors. We review structural findings and propose a model for PA activation of mTORC1. PA binds to a highly conserved sequence in the α4 helix of the FK506 binding protein 12 (FKBP12)/rapamycin-binding (FRB) domain of mTOR. It is proposed that PA binding to two adjacent positively charged amino acids breaks and shortens the C-terminal region of helix α4. This has profound consequences for both substrate binding and the catalytic activity of mTORC1.
