William Rutherford 5 Department of Life Sciences, Imperial College London, London, UK 6 Correspondence to: [email protected] 7 8 Abstract 9 The earliest event recorded in the molecular evolution of photosynthesis is the structural and 10 functional specialisation of Type I (ferredoxin-reducing) and Type II (quinone-reducing) reaction 11 centres. Here we point out that the homodimeric Type I reaction centre of Heliobacteria has a Ca2+- 12 binding site with a number of striking parallels to the Mn4CaO5 cluster of cyanobacterial 13 Photosystem II. This structural parallels indicate that water oxidation chemistry originated at the 14 divergence of Type I and Type II reaction centres. We suggests that this divergence was triggered by 15 a structural rearrangement of a core transmembrane helix resulting in a shift of the redox potential 16 of the electron donor side and electron acceptor side at the same time and in the same redox direction. 17 18 Keywords 19 Photosynthesis, Photosystem, Water oxidation, Oxygenic, Anoxygenic, Reaction centre 20 21 Evolution of Photosystem II 22 There is no consensus on when and how oxygenic photosynthesis originated.

  • 44618 History Newsletter 2009
    THE NEWSLETTER DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY Number 58 Chapel Hill, North Carolina Autumn 2009 GREETINGS FROM THE CHAIR. The national and international events of 2008-09 affected the History Department at the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, in much the same way that they influenced most other institutions over the past year. The global economic recession, a huge decline in North Carolina’s tax revenues, the major losses in endowment funds, and our own university’s mandated budget cuts all echoed through the offices and classrooms of Hamilton Hall. We learned again that historians have no way to escape from history, even as they maintain the all-important “long view” that keeps everything in proper perspective. Despite the recent financial upheavals, however, the UNC History Department had another highly productive year. The faculty published 12 new books, edited or co-edited seven other books, and produced fifty scholarly articles and chapters in edited collections. Our graduate students continued to receive national and international research awards, including twenty fellowships from foundations and government agencies such as the Mellon Foundation, the ACLS, the Fulbright-Hayes program, the Japan Foundation, and the German government’s DAAD research program. You will find detailed information about the diversity of our Department’s publications, teaching, and research awards in the pages of this Newsletter; and you will see how UNC’s historians remain constantly active, no matter what may be happening in the wider world of stock markets, banks, and international trade. The Department also continued to sponsor the Project for Historical Education (regular seminars for high school history teachers) and the annual public lecture on African American History.

  • The Gordian Knot: American and British Policy Concerning the Cyprus Issue: 1952-1974
    THE GORDIAN KNOT: AMERICAN AND BRITISH POLICY CONCERNING THE CYPRUS ISSUE: 1952-1974 Michael M. Carver A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of The requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS May 2006 Committee: Dr. Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor Dr. Gary R. Hess ii ABSTRACT Douglas J. Forsyth, Advisor This study examines the role of both the United States and Great Britain during a series of crises that plagued Cyprus from the mid 1950s until the 1974 invasion by Turkey that led to the takeover of approximately one-third of the island and its partition. Initially an ancient Greek colony, Cyprus was conquered by the Ottoman Empire in the late 16th century, which allowed the native peoples to take part in the island’s governance. But the idea of Cyprus’ reunification with the Greek mainland, known as enosis, remained a significant tenet to most Greek-Cypriots. The movement to make enosis a reality gained strength following the island’s occupation in 1878 by Great Britain. Cyprus was integrated into the British imperialist agenda until the end of the Second World War when American and Soviet hegemony supplanted European colonialism. Beginning in 1955, Cyprus became a battleground between British officials and terrorists of the pro-enosis EOKA group until 1959 when the independence of Cyprus was negotiated between Britain and the governments of Greece and Turkey. The United States remained largely absent during this period, but during the 1960s and 1970s came to play an increasingly assertive role whenever intercommunal fighting between the Greek and Turkish-Cypriot populations threatened to spill over into Greece and Turkey, and endanger the southeastern flank of NATO.

  • John S. Koliopoulos Unwanted Ally: Greece and the Great
    JOHN S. KOLIOPOULOS UNWANTED ALLY: GREECE AND THE GREAT POWERS, 1939-1941 Greece’s international position and national security, from the spring of 1939 when the Axis powers initiated a policy of outright conquest in Europe until the German invasion of the country two years later, have, until recently, been examined mainly from the point of view of contemporary official Greek policy, leading thus to the development of a semi - official Greek historiography1. Most of the governing as­ sumptions and premises of this historiography grew out of both war­ time rhetoric and the post - war requirements of Greek policy, to be­ come in time axiomatic. Some of these assumptions and premises are: a) that Greece followed, before the' Italian attack, a neutral policy towards the great European powers; b) that the Italian attack was unprovoked ; c ) that Anglo - Greek cooperation was subsequent — and consequent — to the Italian attack ; d ) that the Greek Government, although resolved to resist a German attack, did everything to avoid it, and e) that the German invasion was unprovoked and undertaken to rescue the defeated Italians in Albania. In this paper I propose to examine these assumptions in the light of evidence newly made avail­ able, and see particularly whether Greece followed a really neutral policy until the Italian attack, and whether the Greco - Italian war was, until Germany decided to intervene and extinguish the poten­ tially dangerous conflict in the Balkans, more than a local war loosely connected with the strategical interests of Britain and Germany. Greece’s foreign relations before World War II were first put to the test in April 1939, on the occasion of the Italian occupation of Al­ bania.

  • Fantastic Archaeology and Pseudoscience Lost Tribes, Sunken Continents, and Ancient Astronauts
    SOUTHERN METHODIST UNIVERSITY TAOS SUMMER TERM 2019 ANTH 3334: FANTASTIC ARCHAEOLOGY AND PSEUDOSCIENCE LOST TRIBES, SUNKEN CONTINENTS, AND ANCIENT ASTRONAUTS Professor: Whitney A. Goodwin, Ph.D. Candidate, Department of Anthropology Contact: [email protected] Course Time: Monday-Friday, 9:00am-12:00pm, 1:00-4:00pm Course Location: Fort Burgwin Archaeology Laboratory Office Hours: By appointment COURSE DESCRIPTION: Archaeology, like any other science, is no stranger to today’s world of half-truths and ‘alternative facts’. Fantastic claims have been made about everything in the field, from crystal skulls to entire civilizations. In this course, you will acquire the tools to form critical opinions about archaeological phenomena and become able to take apart shaky arguments based on incomplete, false or nonexistent evidence. At the same time, you will learn that science is never straightforward, neat, and simple. When it comes to many issues, legitimate controversies among scientists about what is known and what is knowable can turn into speculations about the past that go beyond any possibility of documentation. In fact, you will learn that sometimes these frontiers between the legitimate and the lunatic are the most dynamic and interesting of all. In this course we will also consider, thematically and periodically, the difference between legitimate controversy within scientific archaeology, what is termed a “Paradigm controversy”, and controversy pitting scientists against pseudoscientists and charlatans. As Ken Feder describes in the first two chapters of his book, Frauds, Myths and Mysteries, a controversy between legitimate scientists operates by clear and consistent rules of evidence, even if those scientists have very different interpretations of evidence.

The proposed project extends from Edinburg Lake in Hidalgo County to east of La Sal Vieja Lake in Willacy County, Texas. Refer to Appendix A for a copy of the Alternative Exhibits and Photographs. The purpose and need for the project is to improve the drainage systems in order to provide increased flood protection and additional drainage capacity for Hidalgo and Willacy County. Several alternatives for the improvement of the Raymondville Drain were evaluated from Edinburg Lake to east of La Sal Vieja Lake. The DSEIS addresses the direct, indirect, and cumulative impacts of the recommended plan on human and environmental issues, including the following: water and sediment quality; waters of the United States, including wetlands; land use; habitat types; aquatic communities; wildlife resources; cultural resources; air quality; noise; hazardous, toxic, and radioactive wastes; socioeconomic issues; flooding; bank erosion; and prime farmlands.

OFFICIAL DEVELOPMENT ASSISTANCE (ODA)–INTERNATIONAL FLOWS1 In 2018, net Official Development Assistance (ODA) by members (donors) of the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) reached USD 149.85 billion, representing a slight fall of 2.3% in real terms (taking account of both inflation and exchange rate movements) compared to 2016. As a share of Gross National Income (GNI), DAC members’2 ODA also fell to 0.30% (0.31% in 2017), well below a United Nations target to keep ODA at or above 0.7% of donor GNI. In the context of 2030 Agenda and the implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), at a global level (Resolution A/ RES/70/1/25.9.2015, 70th UN General Assembly, “Transforming Our World: Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development”), OECD is responding to the need to capture programs that integrate the SDG dimension and thus contribute to their implementation. For this reason, new variables (fields) have been introduced for the registration of SDGs (17 Goals and 169 Targets). ODA Allocations Between 2017 and 2018, ODA for in-donor refugee costs declined from USD 14.1 billion to USD 10.77 billion.
