GIS and GPS Emergency Response Lessons Learned from the Space Shuttle Columbia Disaster

In the wake of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, several key lessons were learned about large-scale, multi-agency disaster response as it pertains to Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and the Global Positioning System (GPS). This article discusses those lessons and reveals Extension education opportunities that can greatly streamline local interagency and intragency emergency response/homeland security efforts

On the theory of Chemical Combination

This reproduction and digital scan of Crum Brown's MD thesis of 1861 was produced by Andrew J. Alexander. More information on the life and works of Alexander Crum Brown can be found online at http://homepages.ed.ac.uk/aa01/crum/crum_index.htmlThis paper was presented in 1861 to the Faculty of Medicine, when I was a candidate for the degree of M.D. In consequence of a somewhat adverse opinion expressed as to the speculations contained in it, I exercised the discretion allowed (I think unwisely) by the University to graduates, and did not print it. Some of my friends have urged me to do so now, and although I am quite aware that it contains much that is crude and some things that are erroneous, and that all that was then new or important in it has since been much better expressed by others, I still think that it is not altogether unworthy of preservation as a contribution to the history of the subject. It is printed verbatim, and I would ask such of my friends as may read it to recollect that it was written eighteen years ago by a medical student. A. C. B. UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH, March 1879

Avian oncogenesis induced by lymphoproliferative disease virus: a neglected or emerging retroviral pathogen?

Lymphoproliferative disease virus (LPDV) is an exogenous oncogenic retrovirus that induces lymphoid tumors in some galliform species of birds. Historically, outbreaks of LPDV have been reported from Europe and Israel. Although the virus has previously never been detected in North America, herein we describe the widespread distribution, genetic diversity, pathogenesis, and evolution of LPDV in the United States. Characterization of the provirus genome of the index LPDV case from North America demonstrated an 88% nucleotide identity to the Israeli prototype strain. Although phylogenetic analysis indicated that the majority of viruses fell into a single North American lineage, a small subset of viruses from South Carolina were most closely related to the Israeli prototype. These results suggest that LPDV was transferred between continents to initiate outbreaks of disease. However, the direction (New World to Old World or vice versa), mechanism, and time frame of the transcontinental spread currently remain unknown
