The Exchequer in the later twelfth century by Brand, John David

“…Johnson's edition of the Dialogue of the Exchequer, and the first edition of Madox's History and Antiquities of the Exchequer, threw much light on what was previously obscure, whereas Hall's Antiquities and Curiosities of the Exchequer was quite obviously at variance, in many places and in many respects, with what I had observed from the original records. …”

Transitory microbial habitat in the hyperarid Atacama Desert by Schulze-Makuch, Dirk, Wagner, Dirk, Kounaves, Samuel P., Mangelsdorf, Kai, Devine, Kevin G., de Vera, Jean-Pierre, Schmitt-Kopplin, Philippe, Grossart, Hans-Peter, Parro, Victor, Kaupenjohann, Martin, Galy, Albert, Schneider, Beate, Airo, Alessandro, Frösler, Jan, Davila, Alfonso F., Arens, Felix L., Cáceres, Luis, Cornejo, Francisco Solís, Carrizo, Daniel, Dartnell, Lewis, DiRuggiero, Jocelyne, Flury, Markus, Ganzert, Lars, Gessner, Mark O., Grathwohl, Peter, Guan, Lisa, Heinz, Jacob, Hess, Matthias, Keppler, Frank, Maus, Deborah, McKay, Christopher P., Meckenstock, Rainer U., Montgomery, Wren, Oberlin, Elizabeth A., Probst, Alexander J., Sáenz, Johan S., Sattler, Tobias, Schirmack, Janosch, Sephton, Mark A., Schloter, Michael, Uhl, Jenny, Valenzuela, Bernardita, Vestergaard, Gisle, Wörmer, Lars, Zamorano, Pedro

“…Although microbial biomass and diversity decrease with increasing aridity in the Atacama Desert, we provide multiple lines of evidence for the presence of an at times metabolically active, microbial community in one of the driest places on Earth. We base this observation on four major lines of evidence: a physico-chemical characterization of the soil habitability after an exceptional rain event, identified biomolecules indicative of potentially active cells [e.g., presence of ATP, phospholipid fatty acids (PLFAs), metabolites, and enzymatic activity], measurements of in situ replication rates of genomes of uncultivated bacteria reconstructed from selected samples, and microbial community patterns specific to soil parameters and depths. …”

Characterization of probiotic Lactobacillus spp. isolates from commercial fermented milks by Farahmand, Nasim

“…Rep-PCR using primer GTG-5 was applied for initial discrimination of isolated strains, and isolates, which presented different band profile, were placed in different groups. The isolated Lactobacillus spp. were identified mainly as Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei and Lactobacillus paracasei by analysis of partial sequences of the 16S ribosomal RNA and rpoA genes. …”

Telling the story: what can be learned from parents' experience of the professional response following the sudden, unexpected death of a child? by Turner, Denise

“…This was a response to the miscarriages of justice of three mothers, all wrongfully imprisoned for killing their children and subsequently freed on Appeal. The Kennedy Report places great emphasis on avoiding similar cases and attempts to address the complexity of balancing every parent’ s right to have their child’s death properly investigated , with the requirement to protect children who may be at risk. …”
