We would like to introduce you to Kiel University and its interdiscip- linary research areas. Furthermore, we outline the different paths to embark on your doctoral studies. We take you through the process, step by step, from application to receipt of your acceptance letter. We wish you the utmost success with your application and will be pleased to welcome you when you arrive in Kiel! Kiel University Christian-Albrechts-Universität (CAU) Kiel, found- ed in 1665, is Germany’s northernmost state uni- versity and the scientific centre of Schleswig-Hol- stein. Over the course of its history, we have not only developed from a regional training academy to an internationally recognised university, but also have set new standards in many fields. Nobel Prize winners that have taught in Kiel are Philipp Lenard (Physics 1905), Eduard Buchner (Chemistry 1907), Max Planck (Physics 1918), Otto Fritz Meyerhof (Medicine 1922), Otto Diels and Kurt Alder (Chem- istry 1950). At our institutes, nearly 25,000 students learn their trade and 2,500 doctoral candidates teach and do re- search. Presently, 26% of our international students are engaged in doctoral research. We offer 185 pro- grammes (Bachelor, Master, Doctorate) in approxi- mately 80 different areas at our eight faculties: • Law • Mathematics and Natural Sciences • Agricultural and Nutritional Sciences • Humanities • Theology • Medicine • Business, Economics and Social Sciences • Engineering 2 | 3 Science and research Kiel University receives funding for three major Kiel describes itself as a university of intercon- projects from the Excellence Initiative of the Ger- nected academic cultures.

In particular, the event of 10 September 2017 was the largest event that RAD has seen on the surface of Mars since it landed in 2012. Due to the modulating effect of the Martian atmosphere, the shape and intensity of these SEP spectra will differ significantly between interplanetary space and the Martian surface. Understanding how these SEP events influence the surface radiation field is crucial to assessing associated health risks for potential human missions to Mars.

The journal provides a peer-reviewed forum for publishing original research articles and reviews in the field of South Asian languages and linguistics, with a focus on descriptive, functional and typological investigations. Descriptive analyses are encouraged to the extent that they present analyses of lesser- known languages, based on original fieldwork. Other areas covered by the journal include language change (including contact-induced change) and sociolinguistics. The journal also publishes occasi- onal special issues on focused themes relating to South Asian languages and linguistics for which it welcomes proposals. The publisher, together with the authors and editors, has taken great pains to ensure that all informa- tionpresented in this work reflects the standard of knowledge at the time of publication.

    Ann Rheum Dis: first published as 10.1136/annrheumdis-2018-eular.5151 on 12 June 2018. Downloaded from Scientific Abstracts Friday, 15 June 2018 189 Results: Twenty-three loci reached the genome-wide significance level (p- value<5×10–8) in our large-scale meta-analysis. Twelve out of the total significant signals represented new associations and involved novel pathways in the patho- physiology of the disease. Significant enrichment was observed for epigenetic marks of active promoters and active enhancers in critical cell types for the dis- ease. In addition many of the interrogated variants correlated with eQTLs thus altering gene expression. Conclusions: Using a large meta-GWAS, we have identified twelve novel associ- ations for SSc susceptibility and confirmed several previously reported risk loci. These results considerably increase our understanding of the genetic basis of SSc and shed light on the pathogenesis of the disease providing important infor- mation to discover new therapeutic targets genetically validated.
