    Description: Snowfall was measured at 11 sites in the McMurdo Dry Valleys to determine its magnitude, its temporal changes, and spatial patterns. Annual values ranged from 3 to 50 mm water equivalent with the highest values nearest the coast and decreasing inland. A particularly strong spatial gradient exists in Taylor Valley, probably resulting from local uplift conditions at the coastal margin and valley topography that limits migration inland. More snow occurs in winter near the coast, whereas inland no seasonal pattern is discernable. This may be due, again, to local uplift conditions, which are common in winter. We find no influence of the distance to the sea ice edge. Katabatic winds play an important role in transporting snow to the valley bottoms and essentially double the precipitation. That much of the snow accumulation sublimates prior to making a hydrologic contribution underscores the notion that the McMurdo Dry Valleys are indeed an extreme polar desert.

    (Table 2) Foehn characteristics of station in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica (2010)
    PANGAEA
    In:  Supplement to: Speirs, Johanna C; Steinhoff, Daniel F; McGowan, Hamish A; Bromwich, David H; Monaghan, Andrew J (2010): Foehn Winds in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica: The Origin of Extreme Warming Events. Journal of Climate, 23(13), 3577-3598, https://doi.org/10.1175/2010JCLI3382.1

    Description: Foehn winds resulting from topographic modification of airflow in the lee of mountain barriers are frequently experienced in the McMurdo Dry Valleys (MDVs) of Antarctica. Strong foehn winds in the MDVs cause dramatic warming at onset and have significant effects on landscape forming processes; however, no detailed scientific investigation of foehn in the MDVs has been conducted. As a result, they are often misinterpreted as adiabatically warmed katabatic winds draining from the polar plateau. Herein observations from surface weather stations and numerical model output from the Antarctic Mesoscale Prediction System (AMPS) during foehn events in the MDVs are presented. Results show that foehn winds in the MDVs are caused by topographic modification of south-southwesterly airflow, which is channeled into the valleys from higher levels. Modeling of a winter foehn event identifies mountain wave activity similar to that associated with midlatitude foehn winds. These events are found to be caused by strong pressure gradients over the mountain ranges of the MDVs related to synoptic-scale cyclones positioned off the coast of Marie Byrd Land. Analysis of meteorological records for 2006 and 2007 finds an increase of 10% in the frequency of foehn events in 2007 compared to 2006, which corresponds to stronger pressure gradients in the Ross Sea region. It is postulated that the intra- and interannual frequency and intensity of foehn events in the MDVs may therefore vary in response to the position and frequency of cyclones in the Ross Sea region.

    Notes: Abstract Because of their deafness, deaf people have been marked as different and treated problematically by their hearing societies. Until 25 years ago, academic literature addressing deafness typically described deafness as pathology, focusing on cures or mitigation of the perceived handicap. In ethnographic accounts, interactions involving deaf people are sometimes presented as examples of how communities treat atypical members. Recently, studies of deafness have adopted more complex sociocultural perspectives, raising issues of community identity, formation and maintenance, and language ideology. Anthropological researchers have approached the study of d/Deaf communities from at least three useful angles. The first, focusing on the history of these communities, demonstrates that the current issues have roots in the past, including the central role of education in the creation and maintenance of communities. A second approach centers on emic perspectives, drawing on the voices of community members themselves and accounts of ethnographers. A third perspective studies linguistic issues and how particular linguistic issues involving deaf people articulate with those of their hearing societies. To use a cultural definition is not only to assert a new frame of reference, but to consciously reject an older one.... But the cultural definition continues to perplex many. If Deaf people are indeed a cultural group, why then don't they seem more like the Pennan of the island of Borneo, or the Huichol of Mexico? Carol Padden (1996a)

    An Inv/Mxi-Spa-like type III protein secretion system in Burkholderia pseudomallei modulates intracellular behaviour of the pathogen (2002)

    Notes: Burkholderia pseudomallei is the causative agent of melioidosis, a serious infectious disease of humans and animals that is endemic in subtropical areas. B. pseudomallei is a facultative intracellular pathogen that may invade and survive within eukaryotic cells for prolonged periods. After internalization, the bacteria escape from endocytic vacuoles into the cytoplasm of infected cells and form membrane protrusions by inducing actin polymerization at one pole. It is believed that survival within phagocytic cells and cell-to-cell spread via actin protrusions is required for full virulence. We have studied the role of a putative type III protein secretion apparatus (Bsa) in the interaction between B. pseudomallei and host cells. The Bsa system is very similar to the Inv/Mxi-Spa type III secretion systems of Salmonella and Shigella. Moreover, B. pseudomallei encodes proteins that are very similar to Salmonella and Shigella Inv/Mxi-Spa secreted proteins required for invasion, escape from endocytic vacuoles, intercellular spread and pathogenesis. Antibodies to putative Bsa-secreted proteins were detected in convalescent serum from a melioidosis patient, suggesting that the system is functionally expressed in vivo. B. pseudomallei mutant strains lacking components of the Bsa secretion and translocation apparatus were constructed. The mutant strains exhibited reduced replication in J774.2 murine macrophage-like cells, an inability to escape from endocytic vacuoles and a complete absence of formation of membrane protrusions and actin tails. These findings indicate that the Bsa type III secretion system plays an essential role in modulating the intracellular behaviour of B. pseudomallei.

    When is a measured soil organic matter fraction equivalent to a model pool? (2002)

    Notes: Dynamic simulation models are important tools for rationalizing complex changes in soil organic matter. Most such models for organic matter can be described as having either a pool structure or a continuous one. A pool structure can offer advantages in ease of use and transferability. Some pools are easily measured, whereas others cannot be measured directly. New methods of fractionation are being developed in an attempt to base models on measurable fractions. A requirement for such models is a demonstration that the measured fraction and model pool are equivalent. A measured fraction is equivalent to a model pool only if, within acceptable limits, it is unique as well as non-composite. If the measured fraction is not unique, describing it as a separate pool adds no extra information, while the added complexity can increase propagation of errors. If it is composite then the characteristics of the fraction will change with changing environment as a result of changing proportions of subpools. This will produce a model that cannot be applied without deriving parameters afresh: such a model is of greatly reduced value. Here we develop methods to examine if a fraction is both unique and non-composite. The tests for unique and composite pools were applied to the SUNDIAL (simulation of nitrogen dynamics in arable land) model of organic matter and nitrogen turnover in soil. Results suggest that the debris, biomass and humus pools are unique, but biomass and humus are composed of two or more subpools. This worked example illustrates how, given suitable data, any pool-based model can be tested by these methods.

    Notes: In this paper we study the dynamics of a system consisting of a heavy box sinking vertically into water. The classic configuration is due to Scott Russell who used the sinking box in 1844 to illustrate the formation of a solitary wave in a long rectangular tank. We use a combination of computer simulation and experiment to clarify details of the wave formation and the dynamics of the sinking box. We find that as the box sinks the water is heaved up to form both the solitary wave and a reverse plunging wave which forms a vortex. This vortex follows the wave down the tank. The computer simulation uses the particle method smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) which allows us to follow the formation of the waves and the dynamics of the box. The simulation results are in satisfactory agreement with the experiments. We derive scaling relations for the velocity of the box and for the amplitude of the solitary wave. These scaling relations are in reasonable agreement with the experiments and the simulations. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.
