Video Spectral Methods and Tools for Monitoring of Controlled Parameters of Forest Fires and Oil Spill Accidents by A. S. Sizikov, Y. V. Belyaev, I. M. Tsykman, A. P. Popkov

“…The main results of the creation of the domestic complex “Vizir” for measuring bidirectional spectropolarization reflection coefficients and brightness of natural and artificial objects were presented in the article. Its purpose, composition and main technical parameters were indicated.Spectral-polarization studies of the characteristics of samples that simulates objects (pollution) of natural (forest fires) and man-made (oil spills) emergencies were performed with the help of complex “Vizir” using polarizing nozzles under various conditions (angles of illumination, observation, pollution concentration, the time that passed since the contamination, the degree of wood thermal damage). …”

Managing Friends and Foes: Sanctioning Mutualists in Mixed‐Infection Nodules Trades off With Defense Against Antagonists by Camille E. Wendlandt, Saumik Basu, Angeliqua P. Montoya, Paige Roberts, Justin D. Stewart, Allison B. Coffin, David W. Crowder, E. Toby Kiers, Stephanie S. Porter

“…However, the plant's ability to manage mutualists in mixed‐infection nodules traded off with its ability to defend against antagonists: when plants were attacked by aphids, they stopped sanctioning within mixed‐infection nodules, and plants that exerted stricter sanctions within nodules during aphid attack accumulated higher levels of the aphid‐vectored virus, PEMV. …”

From a Distance — the Remote Cityscape as Dream and Nightmare by John EDMONDSON

“…The remote cityscape thus enables and becomes a re-imagining of the city and, in so doing, bears some affinity to Baudrillard’s notion of the simulacrum and to the “true simulacrum” of the panorama as described in the “Panoramas” Convolute of Benjamin’s Arcades Project. In its remote perspective, the cityscape, like Jasper’s drug-induced vision of Cloisterham at the beginning of Edwin Drood, variously stimulates and simulates the fears, hopes, desires and ambitions of the onlooker. …”

Celiac Disease Assocaited with Primary Biliary Cirrhosis in a Coast Salish Native by Hugh J Freeman

“…These patients are the first reported natives in Canada with celiac disease, a disorder believed to be genetically based but dependent on environmental factors for its clinical expression. The recognition of a ‘new’ disease in the setting of an aboriginal population may reflect geographical and climatic factors that permitted subsistence of this culturally complex food-gathering society up until most recent historical times, followed by adaptation of this society to European-based agricultural methods, particularly wheat cultivation.…”
