    Abstract In the last fifty years the investigation of maritime archaeological sites in the sea, in the coastal zone and in their interconnecting locales, has emerged as one of archaeology's most dynamic and fast developing fields. No longer a niche interest, maritime archaeology is recognised as having central relevance in the integrated study of the human past. Within maritime archaeology the study of watercraft has been understandably prominent and yet their potential is far from exhausted. In this book Jon Adams evaluates key episodes of technical change in the ways that ships were conceived, design

    Abstract Linear response theory, as developed within the Zubarev formalism, is a quantum statistical approach for describing systems out of but close to equilibrium, which has been successfully applied to a wide variety of plasmas in an external electric field and/or containing a temperature gradient. We present here an extension of linear response theory to include the effects of an external magnetic field. General expressions for the complete set of relevant transport properties are given. In particular, the Hall effect and the influence of a magnetic field on the dc electrical conductivity are discussed. Low-density limits including electron-electron scattering are presented as well as results for arbitrary degeneracy.

    Abstract We report the synthesis of a family of amphiphilic pentablock polymers with different cationic blocks and with controlled architectures as potential vaccine carriers for subunit vaccines. The temperature and pH-dependent micellization and gelation of these pentablock copolymers can provide a depot for sustained protein and gene delivery. The amphiphilic central triblock promotes cellular endocytosis, good gene delivery and has been used effectively as a vaccine adjuvant. The pentablock copolymer outer blocks condense DNA spontaneously as a result of electrostatic interactions for sustained combinational therapy. This family of polymers with different cationic groups was evaluated based on DNA complexation-ability and cytotoxicity to select promising candidates as DNA-based subunit vaccine adjuvants. Modification of other polymer systems with carbohydrates like mannose has been shown to enhance immunogenicity by activating pattern recognition receptors on antigen presenting cells and increasing uptake in these cells. Here, we report the synthesis of a virus-mimicking pentablock copolymer vaccine platform by successful functionalization of these polymers with mannose through an azide–alkyne Huisgen cycloaddition. The synthesis of a mannoside with the alkyne linker was achieved by a recently reported bismuth(v)-mediated activation of a thioglycoside that proved to leave the alkyne intact. The carbohydrate modification was shown not to interfere with the ability of these virus-mimicking block copolymers to complex DNA, thereby making this family of modified materials promising candidates for DNA-based vaccine delivery.

    Abstract Genetic capture–recapture (CR) analysis is a highly promising tool to estimate population parameters and monitor populations through time. However, its level of accuracy has rarely been assessed and comparisons with traditional estimates in controlled settings have rarely been performed. We used CR analysis with long-term fecal genotyping data and applied open-population models to estimate survival rates and assess trend in abundance of wolves in Isle Royale over 10 years, while simultaneously estimating those parameters with traditional aerial-based techniques that are believed to be reasonably accurate. Comparison of the techniques indicated that there is a good correspondence of estimates only when the effort in genetic sampling is high, which guarantees a high recapture probability. Juvenile wolves had higher annual CR survival rates than adult wolves; kill rates most affected wolf survival in this natural ecosystem, and higher annual kill rates were correlated with higher annual adult survival. Adult survival (but not juvenile survival) was an important predictor of population growth rate. Hence, we show that kill rates indirectly affected population growth rate and directly affected adult survival rate. These reliable estimates of survival have unique value because the Isle Royale wolf population is not exposed to any human-caused mortality. Therefore, knowing long-term patterns of annual survival and its relationship to population growth rate for a not hunted wolf population represents a critical baseline for wolf conservation throughout its worldwide distribution.

    Abstract The cause or causes of Tourette's syndrome (TS) remain unknown. Functional imaging studies have evaluated several implicated neurotransmitter systems and focused predominantly on the frequency or severity of tics. The results have been inconclusive and frequently contradictory with little light shed on pathogenetic mechanisms. However, metabolic derangements have been demonstrated within regions of the basal ganglia, limbic system and sensori-motor cortex and are in keeping with the concept of TS as both a motor and behavioral disorder. TS has long been regarded an involuntary movement disorder. However, many patients have stated that without the premonitory sensation, there would be no tics. For this reason, it has been suggested that the premonitory urge may be considered the involuntary component of TS and the performance of the tic merely a voluntary response. Future studies are needed to differentiate functional changes relating to urge from those associated with the performance of tics and tic suppression.
