Abstract

Global environmental change has influenced lake surface temperatures, a key driver of ecosystem structure and function. Recent studies have suggested significant warming of water temperatures in individual lakes across many different regions around the world. However, the spatial and temporal coherence associated with the magnitude of these trends remains unclear. Thus, a global data set of water temperature is required to understand and synthesize global, long-term trends in surface water temperatures of inland bodies of water. We assembled a database of summer lake surface temperatures for 291 lakes collected in situ and/or by satellites for the period 1985-2009. In addition, corresponding climatic drivers (air temperatures, solar radiation, and cloud cover) and geomorphometric characteristics (latitude, longitude, elevation, lake surface area, maximum depth, mean depth, and volume) that influence lake surface temperatures were compiled for each lake. This unique dataset offers an invaluable baseline perspective on global-scale lake thermal conditions as environmental change continues.

Abstract

Interspecific differences in organismal stoichiometry (OS) have been documented in a wide range of animal taxa and are of significant interest for understanding evolutionary patterns in OS. In contrast, intraspecific variation in animal OS has generally been treated as analytical noise or random variation, even though available data suggest intraspecific variability in OS is widespread. Here, we assess how intraspecific variation in OS affects inferences about interspecific OS differences using two co-occurring Neotropical fishes: Poecilia reticulata and Rivulus hartii. A wide range of OS has been observed within both species and has been attributed to environmental differences among stream systems. We assess the contributions of species identity, stream system, and the interactions between stream and species to variability in N:P, C:P, and C:N. Because predation pressure can impact the foraging ecology and life-history traits of fishes, we compare predictors of OS between communities that include predators, and communities where predators are absent. We find that species identity is the strongest predictor of N:P, while stream or the interaction of stream and species contribute more to the overall variation in C:P and C:N. Interspecific differences in N:P, C:P, and C:N are therefore not consistent among streams. The relative contribution of stream or species to OS qualitatively changes between the two predation communities, but these differences do not have appreciable effects in interspecific patterns. We conclude that although species identity is a significant predictor of OS, intraspecific OS is sometimes sufficient to overwhelm or obfuscate interspecific differences in OS.

29. Prevalence and Prognostic Significance of PIK3CAMutation and CNV Status and Phosphorylated AKT Expression in Patients With Cervical Cancer Treated With Primary Surgery

Author

Martell, Kevin, McIntyre, John B., Abedin, Tasnima, Kornaga, Elizabeth N., Chan, Angela M.Y., Enwere, Emeka, Köbel, Martin, Dean, Michelle L., Phan, Tien, Ghatage, Prafull, Lees-Miller, Susan P., and Doll, Corinne M.

Abstract

Currently, there are limited and conflicting reports on the prognostic utility of PIK3CAand associated pathway markers for cervical cancers treated with primary surgical management. Moreover, current studies are lacking complete characterization of adjuvant treatment with RT and/or chemotherapy. We aimed to document the prevalence, clinicopathologic, adjuvant treatment details, and prognostic value of PI3K/AKT pathway mutations and copy number variation and phosphorylated AKT status in patients with cervical cancers treated with primary surgery. A clinicopathologic review was performed on a retrospective cohort of 185 patients with cervical cancer, treated with primary surgery at a single tertiary institution. Next-generation sequencing and digital PCR was used to determine PI3K/AKT pathway mutational status and PIK3CAcopy number variation, respectively, and fluorescent immunohistochemistry measured phosphorylated AKT expression. In all, 179 of 185 (96.8%) of tumors were successfully sequenced; 48 (26.8%) were positive for PI3K/AKT pathway mutations—the majority (n=37, 77.1%) PIK3CAmutations. PIK3CAmutation was associated with pathologically positive lymph nodes [12 (32%) vs. 22 (16%); P=0.022] and indication for postoperative chemoradiotherapy [17 (45.9%) vs. 32 (22.5%); P=0.004]. On multivariable analysis, PIK3CAstatus was not associated with overall survival (P=0.103) or progression-free survival (P=0.240) at 5 yrs, nor was PIK3CAcopy number variation status. phosphorylated AKT ≤ median significantly predicted for progression-free survival [multivariable hazard ratio 0.39 (0.17–0.89; P=0.025)] but not overall survival (P=0.087). The correlation of PIK3CAwith pathologic positive lymph node status yet lack of association with survival outcomes may be due to the use of adjuvant postoperative therapy. PIK3CAassessment before radical hysterectomy may help identify patients with a higher risk of node-positive disease.

37. Liberal Education and the Teleological Question; or Why Should a Dentist Read Chaucer?

Author

McIntyre, Kenneth B.

Abstract

This essay consists of an examination of the work of three thinkers who conceive of liberal education primarily in teleological terms, and, implicitly if not explicitly, attempt to offer some answer to the question: what does it mean to be fully human? John Henry Newman, T. S. Eliot, and Josef Pieper developed their understanding of liberal education from their own intellectual and religious experience, which was informed by a specifically Christian conception of the place of education in a fully developed human life. I suggest that the strength of their understanding of liberal education derives from its connection to the various small cohesive religious communities to which they were connected. Nonetheless, this insularity was also the primary weakness because each writer ended universalising what was in fact a particular and unique cultural and religious experience instead of providing convincing proof of a single human nature with a single telos. I will contrast this teleological conception of liberal education with that of Michael Oakeshott and his student Kenneth Minogue, both of whom wrote about education in a post-religious era in which the earlier consensus had completely broken down. They both celebrated the variety of practices which human beings have invented for themselves over the past several centuries (and past several millennia), and did not appear to suffer from the lack of any unifying single human telos. I will suggest that their understanding of practice insulated them from the need for a single unifying telos.

39. Training Tomorrow's Environmental Problem Solvers: An Integrative Approach to Graduate Education

Author

Moslemi, Jennifer M., Capps, Krista A., Johnson, Mark S., Maul, Jude, McIntyre, Peter B., Melvin, April M., Vadas, Timothy M., Vallano, Dena M., Watkins, James M., and Weiss, Marissa

Abstract

Environmental problems are generally complex and blind to disciplinary boundaries. Efforts to devise long-term solutions require collaborative research that integrates knowledge across historically disparate fields, yet the traditional model for training new scientists emphasizes personal independence and disciplinary focus. Growing awareness of the limitations of the traditional model has spurred a reexamination of graduate training in the environmental sciences. Many institutions are implementing novel training approaches, with varying degrees of success. In this article, a group of current and former doctoral students evaluates our collective experience in one such program, the Biogeochemistry and Environmental Biocomplexity Program at Cornell University, funded by an Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship grant from the National Science Foundation. We identify aspects of the program that contributed to our integrative research training experience, and discuss stumbling blocks that may arise in such programs. We conclude with recommendations for students and faculty interested in facilitating cross-disciplinary interactions at their home institutions.

Abstract

Microbes play a critical role in plant litter decomposition and influence the fate of carbon in rivers and riparian zones. When decomposing low-nutrient plant litter, microbes acquire nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) from the environment (i.e., nutrient immobilization), and this process is potentially sensitive to nutrient loading and changing climate. Nonetheless, environmental controls on immobilization are poorly understood because rates are also influenced by plant litter chemistry, which is coupled to the same environmental factors. Here we used a standardized, low-nutrient organic matter substrate (cotton strips) to quantify nutrient immobilization at 100 paired stream and riparian sites representing 11 biomes worldwide. Immobilization rates varied by three orders of magnitude, were greater in rivers than riparian zones, and were strongly correlated to decomposition rates. In rivers, P immobilization rates were controlled by surface water phosphate concentrations, but N immobilization rates were not related to inorganic N. The N:P of immobilized nutrients was tightly constrained to a molar ratio of 10:1 despite wide variation in surface water N:P. Immobilization rates were temperature-dependent in riparian zones but not related to temperature in rivers. However, in rivers nutrient supply ultimately controlled whether microbes could achieve the maximum expected decomposition rate at a given temperature. Collectively, we demonstrated that exogenous nutrient supply and immobilization are critical control points for decomposition of organic matter.

45. Teaching APL.

Author

Sharp (I. P.) Associates, Ltd., Toronto (Ontario). and McIntyre, Donald B.

Abstract

This booklet contains four articles for use by instructors of the APL computer programming language. In the first paper, "APL in a Liberal Arts College," Donald McIntyre describes experiences in the implementation of an introductory computing course at Pomona College and the presentation of a faculty seminar in computing. Principles used in APL instruction are discussed, and specific instructional examples and a 13-item bibliography are included. Then, Gillian Wade, in "Teaching APL in an Academic Environment" describes the status, organization, and history of APL courses at the University of Guelph, Ontario, and presents examples of applications by students. "APL in the Classroom" by Ted Edwards outlines classroom applications for courses in which APL has been taught as a subject or used as a language of discourse to teach another topic. Examples of lesson material, reasons for APL success, limitations, and possible extensions are presented. Finally, Kenneth Iverson, in "The Inductive Method of Introducing APL," treats some of the lessons to be drawn from analogies with the teaching of natural language, examines details of their application in the development of a 3-day introductory APL course, and reports results. Implications for more advanced courses are also briefly discussed. (LMM)

49. Using Count-Bys to Increase Multiplication Facts Fluency.

Author

McIntyre, Susan B.

Abstract

The "count-by" technique of multiplication was taught to a fourth grade student with learning disabilities. The student learned to count by numbers not typically taught (e.g., fours, sevens, and eights). The method resulted in substantial increases in correct multiplications performed per minute, which were maintained and generalized to other situations. (Author/DB)

Abstract

The 1998 Australian Measles Control Campaign had as its aim improved immunization coverage among children aged 1-12 years and, in the longer term, prevention of measles epidemics. The campaign included mass school-based measles-mumps-rubella vaccination of children aged 5-12 years and a catch-up programme for preschool children. More than 1.33 million children aged 5-12 years were vaccinated at school: serological monitoring showed that 94% of such children were protected after the campaign, whereas only 84% had been protected previously. Among preschool children aged 1-3.5 years the corresponding levels of protection were 89% and 82%. During the six months following the campaign there was a marked reduction in the number of measles cases among children in targeted age groups.
