Geology of Jan Mayen The geology of Jan Mayen is part of the larger Jan Mayen Ridge, an undersea volcanic ridge that forms the boundary of the Iceland Plateau to the northeast. North of the island, the sea floor slopes steeply, plunging a depth of greater than two kilometers in the vicinity of Jan Mayen Rift Zone. The region is highly tectonically active, at the junction of the European and American plates. This activity produces volcanism and earthquakes on the island itself. Beerenberg, a 2.27 kilometer tall volcano rises on the north end of the island, covered in more than 20 glaciers. Jan Mayen is made up of basalt flows and pyroclastic flow related mafic deposits. The two most recent eruptions were in 1970 and 1985, although the Central Crater and Egg Island craters on the southern side of the mountain have continuous fumarole activity. Tectonic geologists have identified Jan Mayen as a microcontinent, which has experienced significant deformation around its boundaries due to sea-floor spreading and the formation of new plate boundaries since the Paleocene, with full separation as a microcontinent in the Oligocene. A model published in 2009 suggests a failed ridge offshore oriented toward the Faroe Islands and the Aegir Ridge extending northeast of Jan Mayen. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58258842 |
Basic aluminium salt Basic aluminium (or basic aluminum) is the name of more than one functional group consisting of aluminium with one or two hydroxy groups attached. Dihydroxyaluminium, Al(OH), also known as dibasic aluminium, is monovalent, and known in these compounds: Hydroxyaluminium, Al(OH), also known as monobasic aluminium or basic aluminium, is divalent, and known in these compounds: Aluminium, Al, is trivalent. Aluminium triacetate, Al(CHCO), is a complete molecule without any hydroxy groups, so it is not a "basic aluminum" compound. Aluminium hydroxide, Al(OH), aluminium with three hydroxy groups attached, is a complete molecule, so it is not a "basic aluminum" compound. Aluminium acetate is a name for three salts in the solid state: dihydroxyaluminium aluminium acetate, hydroxyaluminium diacetate, and aluminium triacetate, Al(CHCO). In aqueous solution, aluminium triacetate hydrolyses to form a mixture of the other two, so all solutions of all three can be referred to simply as "aluminium acetate", as the species co-exist and inter-convert in chemical equilibrium. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58297431 |

Adrenopause is the decline in secretion and levels of adrenal androgens such as dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) and dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (DHEA-S) from the zona reticularis of the adrenal glands with age. Levels of adrenal androgens start to increase around age 7 or 8 years (adrenarche), peak in early adulthood around age 20 to 25 years, and decrease at a rate of approximately 2% per year thereafter, eventually reaching levels of 10 to 20% of those of young adults by age 80 years. It is caused by the progressive apoptosis of adrenal androgen-secreting cells and hence involution of the zona reticularis. It is analogous to andropause in men and menopause in women, the abrupt or gradual decline in production of sex hormones from the gonads with age. DHEA can be supplemented or taken as a medication in the form of prasterone to replace adrenal androgens later in life if it is desired. Some clinical studies have found benefits of DHEA supplementation in the elderly and people with adrenal insufficiency. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58345806 |
Somatopause is the progressive decline in the levels of growth hormone (GH) and insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), hormones of the hypothalamic–pituitary–somatotropic axis (HPS axis), with age. Secretion of GH may only be 60% of that of a young adult by age 70 years. results in changes in the body, such as body composition changes like a decrease in lean body mass. Estrogens and progesterone may oppose somatopause by increasing GH and IGF-1 levels. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58345902 |

Late Elongated Hypocotyl The gene (LHY), is an oscillating gene found in plants that functions as part of their circadian clock. LHY encodes components of mutually regulatory negative feedback loops with Circadian Clock Associated 1 (CCA1) in which overexpression of either results in dampening of both of their expression. This negative feedback loop affects the rhythmicity of multiple outputs creating a daytime protein complex. LHY was one of the first genes identified in the plant clock, along with TOC1 and CCA1. LHY and CCA1 have similar patterns of expression, which is capable of being induced by light. Single loss-of-function mutants in both genes result in seemingly identical phenotypes, but LHY cannot fully rescue the rhythm when CCA1 is absent, indicating that they may only be partially functionally redundant. Under constant light conditions, CCA1 and LHY double loss-of-function mutants fail to maintain rhythms in clock-controlled RNAs. The circadian clock in plants has completely different components to those in the animal, fungus or bacterial clocks. The plant clock does have a conceptual similarity to the animal clock in that it consists of a series of interlocking transcriptional feedback loops. The genes involved in the clock show their peak expression at a fixed time of day. The peak expression of the CCA1 and LHY genes occurs at dawn, and the peak expression of the TOC1 gene occurs roughly at dusk. CCA1/LHY and TOC1 proteins repress the expression of each others genes | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58405077 |
Late Elongated Hypocotyl The result is that as CCA1/LHY protein levels start to reduce after dawn, it releases the repression on the TOC1 gene, allowing TOC1 expression and TOC1 protein levels to increase. As TOC1 protein levels increase, it further suppresses the expression of the CCA1 and LHY genes. The opposite of this sequence occurs overnight to re-establish the peak expression of CCA1 and LHY genes at dawn. CCA1 is generally a more significant component of this oscillator. Light induces its transcription, and mRNA levels peak at dawn along with LHY. CCA1 and LHY associate to inhibit transcription of the Evening Complex (EC) proteins: ELF4, ELF3 and LUX, which suppresses their accumulation until dusk when LHY and CCA1 protein levels are at their lowest. Four primary pseudo-response regulator proteins (PRR9, PRR7, PRR5 and TOC1/PRR1) perform the majority of interactions with other proteins within the circadian oscillator, and another (PRR3) that has limited function. These genes are all paralogs of each other, and all repress the transcription of CCA1 and LHY at various times throughout the day. Plants that have lost function of LHY and CCA1 lose the ability to stably maintain circadian rhythm and other output phenomena. In one study, such plants showed photoperiod- insensitive early flowering under long- day (16 hours of light/ 8 hours of dark) conditions and short day (8 hours of light, 16 hours of dark conditions), and arrhythmicity under constant light conditions | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58405077 |
Late Elongated Hypocotyl However they retain some circadian function in light/dark cycles, showing that "Arabidopsis" circadian clock is not completely dependent on CCA1 and LHY activity. Plants with non-functioning LHY and CCA1 show a wavy leaf phenotype in constant light conditions. Mutants also have increased vascular pattern complexity in their leaves, with more areoles, branch points and free ends than wild-type "Arabidopsis". The function of LHY was initially demonstrated by a group in the Steve Kay lab, including Andrew Millar. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58405077 |

Sodium hydrogenoxalate is the sodium salt of hydrogenoxalate. The only difference from oxalic acid is that one of the two hydrogen atoms has been replaced with a sodium atom. Like other oxalates, it is acutely toxic if it touches the skin or is swallowed. Upon being heated, sodium hydrogenoxalate undergoes cation-pairing to become oxalic acid and sodium oxalate, the latter of which decomposes into sodium carbonate and carbon monoxide. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58461116 |

Great Tehuelche Paleolake The Paleolake Tehuelche is the name for several former lakes that existed in the area of Torres del Paine in southern Patagonia. These were proglacial lakes that existed next to the Patagonian Ice Sheet during the Late Pleistocene and Early Holocene. Some of the evidence of the lakes stem from lake terraces observable at present but these is some uncertainty on which terraces are associated to which lake or lake stage. About 38,000 years BP an early Paleolake Tehuelche existed and drained eastward through Turbio River. The surface of this lake was 250 to 280 m a.s.l. A particular lake named covered what is now Sarmiento and Del Toro lakes plus a large area to east making Cazador Range a peninsula until about 7,113 years BP when the lake drained and ceased to exist. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58500706 |

Felix Semon Sir (8 December 18491 March 1921) was a German-British pioneer in neurobiology and a prominent laryngologist in the United Kingdom. He is responsible for Semon's law. Semon was born in Danzig, Prussia, the son of S. J. Semon, a Berlin stockbroker, and Henriette Aschenheim of Elbing. In 1868, he began his medical studies in Heidelberg and served as a volunteer during the Franco-Prussian War. Following the war, he resumed his studies in Berlin and took his medical degree in 1873. He studied in Vienna and Paris, specialising in diseases of the throat and nose. He moved to England because of the need for a laryngologist, joining the Throat Hospital in Golden Square, Westminster. He was a member of the Royal College of Physicians in 1876 and a fellow in 1885. He joined St Thomas' Hospital in 1882 and six years later the National Hospital for Epilepsy and Paralysis in Bloomsbury. In 1894, he was elected president of the Laryngological Society. He was knighted in 1897, and appointed a Commander in the Royal Victorian Order in 1902. In 1901, he was appointed Physician Extraordinary to King Edward VII, and was knighted KCVO in 1905.

Host cell protein Host cell proteins (HCPs) are process-related impurities, expressed by the host cell used for production of biopharmaceutical proteins. During the purification process, the majority of the HCPs are removed (>99%), but residual HCP amounts remain in the distributed products, such as monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), antibody-drug-conjugates (ADCs), therapeutic proteins, vaccines, and other protein-based biopharmaceuticals. National regulatory authorizations, such as FDA and EMA, require that biopharmaceuticals must be analysed and purified to reduce HCPs to an acceptable level. The HCP acceptance level is evaluated case-by-case and depends on multiple factors including; dose, frequency of drug administration, type of drug and severity of disease. Analysis of HCPs is not simple, since the HCP mixture consists of a large number of protein species, which are unique to the specific host and not related to the intended recombinant protein. The acceptance level of HCPs has commonly been in the range 1-100 ppm (1-100 ng/mg product) due to the detection limit of the established analytical methods. Even with these trace levels of HCPs in the final product reaching the patient, it is unknown if specific residual protein impurities might affect protein stability or immunogenicity in the patient. If the stability is affected, durability of the active substance in a biopharmaceutical could decrease. It is also possible that the effect of the protein might be higher or lower than intended | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58630953 |
Host cell protein The degree of immunogenicity on a long-term basis is practically impossible to determine and thus might be a relatively severe threat to the patient’s health. It is crucial to characterise the HCP population in biopharmaceuticals due to the potential safety risk of introducing foreign proteins into the human immune system. With commonly applied host cell systems such as "E. coli", yeast, the mouse myeloma cell line (NS0) and Chinese Hamster Ovary (CHO), the genetic differences between the host system and the human body are many. It is well established that a higher difference to human proteins increases the risk of immunogenicity and thus, a higher level of HCPs is suggested to elicit a more pronounced immune response. Several studies have linked a reduction in HCPs to a decline in specific inflammatory cytokines. Other HCPs may be very similar to a human protein and may induce an immune response with cross reactivity against the human protein or the drug substance protein. The exact consequences of HCPs for the individual patient is uncertain and difficult to determine with the current analytical methods applied in biopharmaceutical approval. During the production process several factors, including the genes of the host cell, the way of product expression and the purification steps, influence the HCP composition and abundance. Several studies report that HCPs often are co-purified along with the product itself by interacting with the recombinant protein | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58630953 |
Host cell protein Therefore, the requirements for analytic instruments are extremely high and must be developed further to analyse the entire HCP population more thoroughly in a biopharmaceutical product. Enzyme Linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA) is the most commonly applied method for HCP analysis, mainly because it has been the only method with the required sensitivity to detect the low levels of HCPs. Even though the developmental process requires a significant period of work and several research animals, the analysis is rapidly performed and interpreted. However, there are several limitations associated with ELISA for HCP analysis. The HCP quantification relies mainly on the quantity and affinity of anti-HCP antibodies for detection of the HCP antigens. Anti-HCP antibody pools cannot cover the entire HCP population and weakly immunogenic proteins are impossible to detect, since equivalent antibodies are not generated in the process. It is apparent that HCP-ELISAs are insufficient alone for analysis of the HCP population, and therefore orthogonal methods providing complementary information are needed. For a thorough evaluation on the risk of HCPs in biopharmaceuticals and for proper quality control of the manufacturing, it is of the essence that all HCPs are identified and quantified during the production process and in the final product. A suitable orthogonal method is ideally able to: A method, which fulfills these requirements and emerges as the primary orthogonal method to ELISA, is mass spectrometry (MS) | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58630953 |
Host cell protein The main advantage of MS is the ability to identify the individual proteins of low abundance, when MS is coupled to liquid chromatography (LC-MS). Recently, the MS method has been further improved through the method SWATH LC-MS. SWATH is a data independent acquisition (DIA) form of mass spectrometry, where the mass range is partitioned in small mass windows, which are then analysed with tandem MS (MS/MS). The key advantages are the reproducibility for both individual HCP identification and absolute quantification by applying internal protein standards. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58630953 |
Bogoliubov quasiparticle In condensed matter physics, a or Bogoliubon is a quasiparticle that occurs in superconductors. Whereas superconductivity is characterized by the condensation of Cooper pairs into the same ground quantum state, Bogoliubov quasiparticles are elementary excitations above the ground state, which are superpositions (linear combinations) of the excitations of negatively charged electrons and positively charged electron holes, and are therefore neutral fermions (spin- particles). | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58636241 |

Bioresilience refers to the ability of a whole species or an individual of a species to adapt to change. Initially the term applied to changes in the natural environment, but increasingly it is also used for adaptation to anthropogenically induced change. Alexander von Humboldt was the first to note the resilience of life forms with increasing altitude and the accompanying decreasing prevalence in numbers, and he documented this in the 18th century on the slopes of the volcano Chimborazo. Understanding of bioresilience evolved from research led by The Mountain Institute when establishing two of the national parks that surround Mount Everest, Makalu-Barun National Park in Nepal, and Qomolangma National Nature Preserve in the Tibet Autonomous Region of China. The research documented greater biodiversity at Everest's base than higher up. There were progressively fewer documented species as the mountain ascended into higher biomes, from subtropical to temperate to alpine to Arctic-like. These fewer species, though, had greater biologic robustness correlating directly with increasing bioresilience. Monitoring of bioresilience, beginning in the Everest ecosystem but expanding to other mountain ecologies globally is being carried out by the Biomeridian Project at Future Generations University. The concept of bioresilience has also been applied to human health to explain aging or chronic diseases decrease the ability of the body to adapt; in such cases, the system becomes rigid and unable to cross different life demands | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58685900 |
Bioresilience As the human body loses robustness with age, an individual becomes unable to accommodate new life demands, be they contagions, stress, or events such as injury or even jet lag. The importance of resilience in biological systems has been widely recognized in terms of the impacts on life by anthropogenic changes. Accelerating environmental change and continuing loss of genetic resources positions lower biodiversity around the planet threatening ecosystem services. A major mitigating factor will be life forms with higher resilience. Paralleling the work in mountain environments, a growing number of studies is applying the concept of bioresilience to assess the robustness of life in other ecological systems challenged by the Anthropocene. One such study was with the adaptive renewal and natural perturbation in Lake Victoria, the world's second largest freshwater lake. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58685900 |

Sub-Paleogene surface The is an ancient erosion surface that exist in southern England. In parts the appear as tilted plain and parts as an unconformity beneath sediments of Paleogene age. The surface was formed by the erosion of chalklands in England following a regression in the Maastrichtian age. The time during which the surface formed has been estimated by comparing the age of the last Maastrichtian chalk to deposit and the age of the earliest Paleogene sediment to cover the surface. This yields a bracket between 71–73 million years ago (Mya) and 59.3 Mya. The cause of the regression and hence of the erosion above sea level has been debated. It has been linked to eustatic sea level change, the Alpine orogeny and —more recently— to the Iceland plume. The surface was formerly known as Sub-Eocene surface until it was discovered that some sediments overlying the surface were in fact Paleogene. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58690039 |
Colin Hayter Crick (1899–1988) was Canadian geomorphologist known for his contributions to river and hillslope erosion. Influenced by the observations of the geologist Eleanora Knopf he coined the concept of unequal activity to describe the great disparities that can between stream erosion near stream channels and apparently unchanged uplands, and between headwaters with limited erosion and the more active middle and lower courses of streams. Crick did also coin the term panplanation to describe a planation surfaces thought to be formed by lateral stream migration. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58698928 |

Theresa Secord (born 1958) is an artist, basketmaker, geologist and activist from Maine. She is a member of the Penobscot nation, and the great-granddaughter of the well-known weaver Philomene Saulis Nelson. She co-founded, and was the director of, the Maine Indian Basketmakers Alliance (MIBA) in Bar Harbor, Maine. When apprenticing with basketmaker Madeline Tomer Shay, Secord learned that she was one of few young Wabanaki people who was taught to make brown ash and sweet-grass baskets. After Shay's death, Secord founded MIBA in 1993 as a way to preserve Wabanaki language and culture. In 2003, the MIBA received the International Prize for Rural Creativity in part for lowering the average age of basketmakers in Maine from 63 to 43. Her work has been shown at the Hudson Museum at the University of Maine, at the National Museum of the American Indian in New York, and at the Southwest Museum of the American Indian in Los Angeles. She is the great niece of the renowned Penobscot dancer, actress and writer Molly Spotted Elk, and her great-grandmother is Philomene Saulis Nelson, considered an "acclaimed weaver." Secord earned a B.A. in Geology from the University of Southern Maine in 1981 and an M.S. in Economic Geology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1984.

Wild's Triplet is a group of three small, interacting spiral galaxies. The galaxies are visible in the constellation Virgo. The triplet has luminous connecting bridges and is located some 200 million light-years away. The aforementioned bridges are probably formed as a result of gravitational tidal interactions among the galaxies. The triplet is named after the British-born and Australia-based astronomer Paul Wild (1923–2008), who studied the trio in the early 1950s. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58741462 |
MAGESTIC Multiplexed Accurate Genome Editing with Short, Trackable, Integrated Cellular barcodes (MAGESTIC) is a platform that builds on the CRISPR/Cas technique. It further improves CRISPR/Cas by making the gene-editing process more precise. It also increases cell survival during the editing process up to sevenfold. The platform was made by the Joint Initiative for Metrology in Biology (JIMB) which is a coalition of Stanford University and the National Institute of Standards and Technology. Gene editing is used for a variety of tasks including the modifying of crops, the modifying of bacteria, and the modifying of disease-causing genetic mutations in patients. For industrial and agricultural uses, CRISPR/Cas is more than sufficient, but for medicinal use, more precision is preferred. This is where comes in. achieves greater precision by using array-synthesized guide–donor oligos for the plasmid-based high-throughput editing and it also features a genomic barcode integration to prevent plasmid barcode loss (and also to enable robust phenotyping). In essence, it allows to program the CRISPR machinery to cut at desired locations throughout the genome, and then to direct the cells to introduce designed edits at the DNA cut sites. As such, it is a very important tool for making gene therapies. It is downloadable via k-roy's download page, also mentioned at the full paper of the article from Nature biotechnology. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58742475 |

Penultimate Glacial Period The (PGP) is the glacial period that occurred before the Last Glacial Period. It began ~194,000 years ago, and ended ~135,000 years ago with the beginning of the Eemian interglacial. It roughly coincides with Marine Isotope Stage 6 (see Marine isotope stage) and the Illinoian Stage. The is one of a series of glacial and interglacial periods of the Quaternary ice age. The Quaternary ice age began 2.58 million years ago and is ongoing. It began with the beginning of the periodic ice sheet advances and retreats in the Northern Hemisphere, including the Laurentide Ice Sheet, the Cordilleran Ice Sheet, and the Greenland ice sheet. The Quaternary ice age is part of an even longer ice age called the Late Cenozoic Ice Age. It began 33.9 million years ago and is also ongoing. It began with the formation of the Antarctic Ice Cap. The is officially unnamed just like the Last Glacial Period. The word "penultimate" simply means second to last. The was at least the second glacial period that "Neanderthals", "Denisovans", and "Homo sapiens" experienced. The was more severe than the Last Glacial Period. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58784869 |

Alcove (landform) Alcove, is the geographical and geological term for a steep-sided hollow in the side of an exposed rock face or cliff of a homogeneous rock type, that was water eroded. Alcoves are weathering features common in dissected horizontal strata. Alcoves form where chemical and physical weathering is concentrated along horizontal discontinuities where water and salts concentrate, such as the contact between a sandstone and an underlying shale bed. In the case of layered sandstones, an alcove may later be enlarged by exfoliation of upper layers. This is commonly seen in the sandstone alcoves of the Colorado Plateau, like those in Navajo Sandstone. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58842605 |

Buried rupture earthquake A buried rupture earthquake, or blind earthquake (c.f., surface rupture earthquake) is an earthquake with non-visible offset of the ground surface when an earthquake rupture along a fault does not affect the Earth's surface. See also blind thrust earthquake, a close concept. Recorded ground motions of large surface-rupture earthquakes are weaker than the ground motions from buried rupture earthquakes. The asperity for a buried rupture earthquakes is in area deeper than roughly . Examples are the Loma Prieta earthquake, Northridge earthquake, and the Noto Hanto earthquake. Uplifted water outside the fault plane in the buried rupture case, as compared to the seabed surface rupture case, makes for large tsunami waves. | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58914925 |

Rodingite is a metasomatic rock composed of grossular-andradite garnet and calcic pyroxene; vesuvianite, epidote and scapolite. Rodingites are common where mafic rocks are in proximity to serpentinized ultramafic rocks. The mafic rocks are altered by high pH, Ca2+ and OH- fluids, which are a byproduct of the serpentinization process, and become rodingites. The mineral content of rodingites is highly variable, their high calcium, low silicon and environment of formation being their defining characteristic. Rodingites are common in ophiolites, serpentinite mélanges, ocean floor peridotites and eclogite massifs. was first named from outcrops of the Dun Mountain Ophiolite Belt in the Roding River, Nelson, New Zealand. An obsolete name for rodingite is "granatite". | https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki?curid=58941985 |
