  • The Cathedral Priory of St. Andrew, Rochester
    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society THE CATHEDRAL PRIORY OF ST. ANDREW, ROCHESTER By ANNE M. OAKLEY, M.A. THE church of St. Andrew the Apostle, Rochester, was founded by Ethelbert, King of Kent, as a college for a small number of secular canons under Justus, Bishop of Rochester, in A.D. 604. Very httle is known about the history of this house. It never seems to have had much influence outside its own walls, and though it possessed considerable landed estates, seems to have been relatively small and poor. It also suffered at the hands of the Danes. Bishops Justus, Romanus, Pauhnus and Ithamar were all remarkable men, but after Bishop Putta's transla- tion to Hereford in 676, very Httle is heard of Rochester. Their bishop, Siweard, is not mentioned as having been at Hastings with King Harold as were many of the Saxon bishops and abbots, and the house put up no opposition to William I when he seized their lands and gave them to his half brother Odo, Bishop of Bayeux, whom he had created Earl of Kent. The chroniclers say that the house was destitute, and that, when Siweard died in 1075, it was barely able to support the five canons on the estabHshment.1 Four years after his conquest of England, Wilham I invited his friend Lanfranc, Prior of Caen and a former monk of Bee in Normandy, to be bis archbishop at Canterbury. Lanfranc's task was specific: to reorganize EngHsh monasticism on the pattern of Bee; to develop a strict cloistered monasticism, but one of a kind that was not entirely cut off by physical barriers from the Hfe of the rest of the church.

  • The 2018 Chemistry Prize
    Nobel Prize Lessons Teacher’s manuscript – the 2018 Chemistry Prize The Nobel Prize in Chemistry • The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is one of the five prizes founded by Alfred Nobel and awarded on December 10 every year. • Before Nobel died on December 10, 1896, he wrote in his will that the largest part of his fortune should be used to fund a prize to those who “have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.” One of the five prizes should go to “the person who made the most important chemical discovery or improvement”. Who is rewarded with the Chemistry Prize? • The Nobel Prize in Chemistry is thus awarded to people who have made discoveries or improvements that have given us knowledge about the structure of various substances and how they are created and changed – how and why they react with each other, and even how we can create new molecules. • This is Ada Yonath, who was awarded the 2009 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for her pioneering contributions to studies of the ribosome. • Other Chemistry Prizes have been awarded to: • Marie Curie, for the discovery of radioactive elements, and Dorothy Crowfoot Hodgkin, for the discovery of the structure of penicillin. The 2018 Chemistry Prize • Two of this year’s Laureates in Chemistry have developed methods for producing new enzymes and antibodies in the lab. These enzymes can be used to speed up chemical reactions, and the antibodies can be used to produce pharmaceuticals. The Laureates’ methods are based on randomly creating numerous variants of a protein, testing how the different variants work and then selecting the protein that works best – a process known as “directed evolution”.

  • Physical Determinants of Vesicle Mobility and Supply at a Central
    RESEARCH ARTICLE Physical determinants of vesicle mobility and supply at a central synapse Jason Seth Rothman1, Laszlo Kocsis2, Etienne Herzog3,4, Zoltan Nusser2*, Robin Angus Silver1* 1Department of Neuroscience, Physiology and Pharmacology, University College London, London, United Kingdom; 2Laboratory of Cellular Neurophysiology, Institute of Experimental Medicine, Hungarian Academy of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary; 3Department of Molecular Neurobiology, Max Planck Institute of Experimental Medicine, Go¨ ttingen, Germany; 4Team Synapse in Cognition, Interdisciplinary Institute for Neuroscience, Universite´ de Bordeaux, UMR 5297, F-33000, Bordeaux, France Abstract Encoding continuous sensory variables requires sustained synaptic signalling. At several sensory synapses, rapid vesicle supply is achieved via highly mobile vesicles and specialized ribbon structures, but how this is achieved at central synapses without ribbons is unclear. Here we examine vesicle mobility at excitatory cerebellar mossy fibre synapses which sustain transmission over a broad frequency bandwidth. Fluorescent recovery after photobleaching in slices from VGLUT1Venus knock-in mice reveal 75% of VGLUT1-containing vesicles have a high mobility, comparable to that at ribbon synapses. Experimentally constrained models establish hydrodynamic interactions and vesicle collisions are major determinants of vesicle mobility in crowded presynaptic terminals. Moreover, models incorporating 3D reconstructions of vesicle clouds near active zones (AZs) predict the measured releasable pool size and replenishment rate from the reserve pool. They also show that while vesicle reloading at AZs is not diffusion-limited at the onset of release, *For correspondence: nusser@ diffusion limits vesicle reloading during sustained high-frequency signalling. koki.hu (ZN); [email protected] DOI: 10.7554/eLife.15133.001 (RAS) Competing interests: The authors declare that no competing interests exist.

APP. MATH. AND COMP. SCI. Vol. 5, No. 2, 2010 IMPLICIT PARTICLE FILTERS FOR DATA ASSIMILATION ALEXANDRE CHORIN, MATTHIAS MORZFELD AND XUEMIN TU Implicit particle filters for data assimilation update the particles by first choosing probabilities and then looking for particle locations that assume them, guiding the particles one by one to the high probability domain. We provide a detailed description of these filters, with illustrative examples, together with new, more general, methods for solving the algebraic equations and with a new algorithm for parameter identification. 1. Introduction There are many problems in science, for example in meteorology and economics, in which the state of a system must be identified from an uncertain equation supplemented by noisy data (see, for instance,[9; 22]). A natural model of this situation consists of an Ito stochastic differential equation (SDE): dx D f .x; t/ dt C g.x; t/ dw; (1) where x D .x1; x2;:::; xm/ is an m-dimensional vector, f is an m-dimensional vector function, g.x; t/ is an m by m matrix, and w is Brownian motion which encapsulates all the uncertainty in the model. In the present paper we assume for simplicity that the matrix g.x; t/ is diagonal. The initial state x.0/ is given and may be random as well. The SDE is supplemented by measurements bn at times tn, n D 0; 1;::: .
