  • Characterisation of an Intron-Split Solanales Microrna
    Characterisation of an intron-split Solanales microRNA Zahara Medina Calzada A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia School of Biological Sciences September 2017 This copy of the thesis has been supplied on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotation or extract must include full attribution “Doing science is very romantic… when it works!” (the friend of a friend of mine) 2 Abstract MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a distinct class of short endogenous RNAs with central roles in post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression that make them essential for the development and normal physiology of several groups of eukaryotes, including plants. In the last 15 years, hundreds of miRNA species have been identified in plants and great advances have been achieved in the understanding of plant miRNA biogenesis and mode of action. However, many miRNAs, generally those with less conventional features, still remain to be discovered. Likewise, further layers that regulate the pathway from miRNA biogenesis to function and turnover are starting to be revealed. In the present work we have studied the tomato miRNA “top14”, a miRNA with a non-canonical pri-miRNA structure in which an intron is in between miRNA and miRNA*. We have found that this miRNA is conserved within the economically important Solanaceae family and among other members of the Solanales order also agriculturally relevant, like in sweet potato, while its peculiar intron-split pri-miRNA structure is exclusively kept in the more closely related genera Solanum , Capsicum and Nicotiana .

Abstract This thesis undertakes a comparative analysis of ceramic and stone pipes recovered from eight archaeological sites located near present day Arkona, Ontario. Commonly known as the Arkona Cluster, these sites date to between A.D. 1000 and 1280 during the early Late Woodland Period and are thought to be part of a borderland region between distinct cultural groups known as the Western Basin Younge Phase and the Early Ontario Iroquoians. Using a combination of distribution and attribute data from each site’s pipe assemblage, I explore how the similarities and differences observed can be used to draw insights into the potential relations between the sites and how they relate to a larger regional context of identity formation, territorialization and intergroup interaction and exchange.

  • Statistics Making an Impact
    John Pullinger J. R. Statist. Soc. A (2013) 176, Part 4, pp. 819–839 Statistics making an impact John Pullinger House of Commons Library, London, UK [The address of the President, delivered to The Royal Statistical Society on Wednesday, June 26th, 2013] Summary. Statistics provides a special kind of understanding that enables well-informed deci- sions. As citizens and consumers we are faced with an array of choices. Statistics can help us to choose well. Our statistical brains need to be nurtured: we can all learn and practise some simple rules of statistical thinking. To understand how statistics can play a bigger part in our lives today we can draw inspiration from the founders of the Royal Statistical Society. Although in today’s world the information landscape is confused, there is an opportunity for statistics that is there to be seized.This calls for us to celebrate the discipline of statistics, to show confidence in our profession, to use statistics in the public interest and to champion statistical education. The Royal Statistical Society has a vital role to play. Keywords: Chartered Statistician; Citizenship; Economic growth; Evidence; ‘getstats’; Justice; Open data; Public good; The state; Wise choices 1. Introduction Dictionaries trace the source of the word statistics from the Latin ‘status’, the state, to the Italian ‘statista’, one skilled in statecraft, and on to the German ‘Statistik’, the science dealing with data about the condition of a state or community. The Oxford English Dictionary brings ‘statistics’ into English in 1787. Florence Nightingale held that ‘the thoughts and purpose of the Deity are only to be discovered by the statistical study of natural phenomena:::the application of the results of such study [is] the religious duty of man’ (Pearson, 1924).

  • Johnny Roventini: Call for Philip Morris
    Johnny Roventini: Call for Philip Morris http://www.lucyfan.com/johnnyroventini.html An abbreviated version of the following story originally appeared in the Winter 1998/99 issue of our club newsletter. It chronicles Lucille Ball's long association with the Philip Morris company and profiles its "living mascot," Johnny Roventini. While it is not our policy to "editorialize," we admit to having mixed emotions about this topic: we acknowledge that I Love Lucy might never have happened had it not been for Philip Morris' sponsorship of the show, but we also find it hard to forget that both Desi Arnaz (in 1986) and Lucy's second husband, Gary Morton (in 1989), died of lung cancer... Or that Lucy herself died (in 1989) of heart disease. Both ailments have long been linked to smoking. When CBS and Desilu completed the pilot for I Love Lucy in March, 1951, everyone assumed General Foods, the sponsor of Lucille Ball's radio show, would buy it. GF, instead, quickly turned it down -- and the network hawked the project up and down Madison Avenue, hoping to find another sponsor. Finally, advertising mogul Milton Biow bought the show for his client, Philip Morris cigarettes. The tobacco company would sponsor I Love Lucy exclusively from its premiere on October 15, 1951, through Christmas of 1954, then share sponsorship through June of 1955 with Procter and Gamble. From the beginning, Philip Morris made I Love Lucy its own.
