Magneto-seismology: effect of inhomogeneous magnetic field on transversal coronal loop oscillations
The extreme-ultraviolet (EUV) imagers onboard the planned Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and Solar Orbiter (SO) will offer us the best chance yet of using observations of post-flare loop oscillations to probe the fine structure of the corona. Recently developed magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) wave theory has shown that the properties of loop oscillations depend on their plasma fine structure. Up to this point, many studies have concentrated solely on the effect of plasma density stratification on coronal loop oscillations. In this paper we develop MHD wave theory which models the effect of an inhomogeneous magnetic field on coronal loop oscillations. The results have the potential to be used in testing the efficacy of photospheric magnetic field extrapolations and have important implications regarding magneto-seismology of the corona

Short Description of the Mines of Precious Stones, in the District of Kyat-pyen, in the Kingdom of Ava, by Pere Giuseppe d'Amato, edited by Michael W. Charney
This first-hand communication from Giuseppe d’Amato appears to have been written originally in Italian. It was translated for publication in the Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal in 1833, although the translator’s name is not provided. However short this account, it provides valuable detailed information mining in royal Burma as well as a few hints concerning Chinese traders in Upper Burma
Obituary: Arthur Cruickshank 1932 - 2011. A native Gondwanan, who studied the former continent's fossil tetrapods
Dr Arthur Richard Ivor Cruickshank died
on 4th December 2011, aged 79, in the
Borders General Hospital, Melrose, Scotland.
Arthur Cruickshank was part of the post-war
generation of palaeontologists who laid the
foundations on which today’s researchers
build. Appropriately for someone from
an expatriate Scots family living in Kenya,
much of his work was on the extinct reptiles
of the great southern palaeocontinent of
Gondwana
The location of the mental foramen in a selected Malay population
Knowledge of the position of the mental foramen is important both when administering regional anesthesia and performing periapical surgery in the mental region of the mandible. This study determines the position of the mental foramen in a selected Malay population. One hundred and sixty nine panoramic radiographs of Malay patients retrieved from a minor oral surgery waiting list were selected to identify the normal range for the position of the mental foramen. The foramen was not included in the study if there was any mandibular tooth missing between the lower left and right first molars (36-46). The findings indicated the most common position for the mental foramen was in line with the longitudinal axis of the second premolar (69.2) followed by a location between the first and second premolar (19.6). The right and left foramina were bilaterally symmetrical in three of six recorded positions in 67.7 patients. The mental foramen was most often in line with the second premolar
