    Abstract The marine environment is a complex system formed by interactions between ecological structure and functioning, physico-chemical processes and socio-economic systems. An increase in competing marine uses and users requires a holistic approach to marine management which considers the environmental, economic and societal impacts of all activities. If managed sustainably, the marine environment will deliver a range of ecosystem services which lead to benefits for society. In order to understand the complexity of the system, the DPSIR (Driver-Pressure-State-Impact-Response) approach has long been a valuable problem-structuring framework used to assess the causes, consequences and responses to change in a holistic way. Despite DPSIR being used for a long time, there is still confusion over the definition of its terms and so to be appropriate for current marine management, we contend that this confusion needs to be addressed. Our viewpoint advocates that DPSIR should be extended to DAPSI(W)R(M) (pronounced dap-see-worm) in which Drivers of basic human needs require Activities which lead to Pressures. The Pressures are the mechanisms of State change on the natural system which then leads to Impacts (on human Welfare). Those then require Responses (as Measures). Furthermore, because of the complexity of any managed sea area in terms of multiple Activities, there is the need for a linked-DAPSI(W)R(M) framework, and then the connectivity between marine ecosystems and ecosystems in the catchment and further at sea, requires an interlinked, nested-DAPSI(W)R(M) framework to reflect the continuum between adjacent ecosystems. Finally, the unifying framework for integrated marine management is completed by encompassing ecosystem structure and functioning, ecosystem services and societal benefits. Hence, DAPSI(W)R(M) links the socio-ecological system of the effects of changes to the natural system on the human uses and benefits of the marine system. However, to deliver these sustainably in the light of human activities requires a Risk Assessment and Risk Management framework; the ISO-compliant Bow-Tie method is used here as an example. Finally, to secure ecosystem health and economic benefits such as Blue Growth, successful, adaptive and sustainable marine management Responses (as Measures) are delivered using the 10-tenets, a set of facets covering all management disciplines and approaches.

    Abstract The 1H-n.m.r. spectra of the Streptococcus pneumoniae type 9V (S68 in American nomenclature) capsular polysaccharide (PS) and its O-deacetylated derivative [which is structurally identical to the S. pneumoniae type 9A (S33) PS] were assigned using COSY, relayed-COSY, and 2D-NOESY experiments. The positions of the OAc groups in the alpha-GlcA, beta-ManNAc, and alpha-Glc residues of the native 9V PS were established using 2D-n.m.r. and chemical shift arguments, and the relative proportions of different O-acetylated species were estimated by integration of well-resolved 1H-n.m.r. signals. The locations of the OAc substituents differ from those previously reported. [formula: see text].

    Abstract: ... forces on the disc (R ...

    Abstract The intervertebral disc is an important structure for load transfer through the spine. Its injury and degeneration have been linked to pain and spinal fractures. Disc injury and spine fractures are associated with high stresses; however, these stresses cannot be measured, necessitating the use of finite element (FE) models. These models should include the disc's complex structure, as changes in disc geometry have been linked to altered mechanical behavior. However, image-based models using disc-specific structures have yet to be established. This study describes a multiphasic FE modeling approach for noninvasive estimates of subject-specific intervertebral disc mechanical behavior based on medical imaging. The models (n = 22) were used to study the influence of disc geometry on the predicted global mechanical response (moments and forces), internal local disc stresses, and tractions at the interface between the disc and the bone. Disc geometry was found to have a strong influence on the predicted moments and forces on the disc (R
