Active and passive organic carbon fluxes during a bloom in the Southern Ocean (South Georgia).

The Controls Over Mesopelagic Interior Carbon Storage (COMICS) cruise DY086 took place aboard the RRS Discovery in the South Atlantic during November and December, 2017. Physical, chemical, biogeochemical and biological data were collected during three visits to ocean observatory station P3, off the coast of South Georgia, during an austral spring bloom. A diverse range of equipment including CTD-rosette, Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP), net deployments, marine snow catchers (MSCs), Stand Alone Pump System (SAPS) and PELAGRA Sediment Traps were used to produce a comprehensive, high-quality dataset.

A "bottom up" Health in All Policies program: Supporting local government wellbeing approaches.

Issue Addressed: A wellbeing economy requires multiple inputs to enable the wholistic vision of a sustainable healthy population and planet. A Health in All Policies (HiAP) approach is a useful way to support policy makers and planners to implement the activities required to support a wellbeing economy.

Outline Of The Project: Aotearoa New Zealand's Government has explicitly set a path towards a wellbeing economy.

Ternary network models for disturbed ecosystems.

The complex network of interactions between species makes understanding the response of ecosystems to disturbances an enduring challenge. One commonplace way to deal with this complexity is to reduce the description of a species to a binary presence-absence variable. Though convenient, this limits the patterns of behaviours representable within such models.

Occupational (In)visibility: The emerging role of the Remote Education Tutor as an educational conduit.

Remote Education Tutors (RETs) are central to the delivery of distance schooling in Australia and are accountable for the face-to face supervision and educational support of students. They act as the government mandated adult supervisors of Australian primary and secondary school students enrolled in distance education, including geographically isolated learners. This paper draws on statistical data from a national survey ( = 575) that was designed to map the perceptions of Australian RETs.

The impact of workload on the ability to localize audible alarms.

Very little is known about people's ability to localize sound under varying workload conditions, though it would be expected that increasing workload should degrade performance. A set of eight auditory clinical alarms already known to have relatively high localizability (the ease with which their location is identified) when tested alone were tested in six conditions where workload was varied. Participants were required to indicate the location of a series of alarms emanating at random from one of eight speaker locations.

An Interview with Lesléa Newman: A Punchy New Heather, Dolly Parton, and Orange is the New Black.

This interview with Lesléa Newman took place on Monday, September 22, 2014. Newman, while quite prolific, is probably best known for her children's picture book, Heather Has Two Mommies, initially published in 1989. Heather became the cultural touchstone in discussions of not only lesbianism and children's literature, but book challenges and censorship, as well.

A national scheme for public access defibrillation in England and Wales: early results.

Background: Automated external defibrillators (AEDs) operated by lay persons are used in the UK in a National Defibrillator Programme promoting public access defibrillation (PAD).

Methods: Two strategies are used: (1) Static AEDs installed permanently in busy public places operated by those working nearby. (2) Mobile AEDs operated by community first responders (CFRs) who travel to the casualty.

Investigations into the kinetics and thermodynamics of Sb(III) adsorption on goethite (alpha-FeOOH).

This study reports thermodynamic and kinetic data of Sb(III) adsorption from single metal solutions onto synthetic aqueous goethite (alpha-FeOOH). Batch equilibrium sorption experiments were carried out at 25 degrees C over a Sb:Fe molar range of 0.005-0.

Empowered learning on the inside: an externship experience.

The purpose of this multiphasic qualitative research study was to obtain an in-depth understanding of how students experience a nonterminal summer externship program. Baccalaureate and associate degree nursing students participated in the six-week externship developed through a partnership between a regional hospital and a school of nursing in the southeastern United States. Data were collected before, during, immediately following, and six months after the externship experience using a combination of focus groups and interviews with student-preceptor dyads.

Maintenance treatment with interferon for advanced ovarian cancer: results of the Northern and Yorkshire gynaecology group randomised phase III study.

A randomised phase III trial was conducted to assess the role of interferon-alpha (INFalpha) 2a as maintenance therapy following surgery and/or chemotherapy in patients with epithelial ovarian carcinoma. Patients were randomised following initial surgery/chemotherapy to interferon-alpha 2a as 4.5 mega-units subcutaneously 3 days per week or to no further treatment.

Site specific lymph node metastasis in carcinoma of the cervix: Is there a sentinel node?

Follow-up for at least 5 years was available for 350 cases of stage IB and IIA carcinoma of the cervix managed by radical hysterectomy and pelvic lymphadenectomy. Lymphadenectomy technique mapped the patterns of pelvic lymph node metastasis (LNM). The effects on survival of specific factors relating to the lymphadenectomy (node count, number of positive nodes, site of positive nodes, number of sites positive, location of highest positive node) were determined for 80 women with LNM.

Adenocarcinoma of the cervix: a regional retrospective study.

A retrospective study using data from the Yorkshire Cancer Registry was undertaken to investigate the incidence, characteristics and prognosis of cases of cervical adenocarcinoma in the Yorkshire Region. Three hundred and twenty-six women resident in the Yorkshire Region formed the basis of the study. The overall five year survival for adenocarcinoma of the cervix is 53%.

Which cervical sampler? A comparison of four methods.

Four cytology sampling methods were compared in 1063 patients referred for colposcopy with a recent abnormal smear. A dyskaryotic smear of any grade was considered a positive result, though comparisons were limited to cases with a subsequent biopsy confirming CINII or III. There were no differences between the abilities of any of the four methods to detect higher grades of CIN (chi (2)3 = 4.

Detection and measurement of DNA adducts in the cervix of smokers and non-smokers.

Smoking has been associated, on epidemiologic grounds, with an increased risk of cervical neoplasia. We have investigated this association, using laboratory-based methods. A 32P post-labeling assay was performed on 97 cervical biopsies to detect and measure DNA adducts (additional products formed by the covalent binding of potential chemical carcinogens to nuclear DNA).

Lymphocele.

Lymphocele is a complication which will be familiar to the gynaecological surgeon, particularly the oncologist. It is also well recognised in association with urological pelvic surgery and renal transplantation. Occurrence of lymphocele has been described in relation to surgery in a wide variety of other areas including the mediastinum, axilla, neck, aorta and peripheral vasculature.

Decision analysis for best management of mildly dyskaryotic smear.

Should a woman with a mildly dyskaryotic cervical smear be referred for colposcopy or should the smear be repeated? One way to answer this question is to use decision analysis and compare the expected mortality and cost of each policy. Data for each component of the question were obtained from published work worldwide and were supplemented with an audit of mildly dyskaryotic smears in West Yorkshire, UK. 2 out of 1000 women with an initial mildly dyskaryotic smear will develop cancer if a conservative repeat smear policy is adopted in association with five-yearly cervical screening.
