Alimenter la ville de Lyon en eau : les galeries de captage antiques sous les collines de Fourvière et de la Croix-Rousse by Emmanuel Bernot

“…Finally, five small diameter wells were observed at the top of its vault, near the surface, allowing us to link this structure to qanat-type galleries.From flow measurements taken in certain gallery networks and the assessment of the hydraulic potential of the hills, the contribution of these galleries and natural springs can be estimated at several thousand cubic metres per day. However, in Lyon, each gallery could probably only provide a small flow, as it collected water through the substrate by capillary action. …”

Risk factors affecting polygenic score performance across diverse cohorts by Daniel Hui, Scott Dudek, Krzysztof Kiryluk, Theresa L Walunas, Iftikhar J Kullo, Wei-Qi Wei, Hemant Tiwari, Josh F Peterson, Wendy K Chung, Brittney H Davis, Atlas Khan, Leah C Kottyan, Nita A Limdi, Qiping Feng, Megan J Puckelwartz, Chunhua Weng, Johanna L Smith, Elizabeth W Karlson, Regeneron Genetics Center, Penn Medicine BioBank, Gail P Jarvik, Marylyn D Ritchie

“…Twenty-eight covariates had significant PGSBMI–covariate interaction effects, modifying PGSBMI effects by nearly 20% per standard deviation change. We observed overlap between covariates that had significant R2 differences among strata and interaction effects – across all covariates, their main effects on BMI were correlated with their maximum R2 differences and interaction effects (0.56 and 0.58, respectively), suggesting high-PGSBMI individuals have highest R2 and increase in PGS effect. …”
