TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the development and analysis of a dataset covering bushfire related life loss in Australia over the past 110 years (1901-2011). Over this time period 260 bushfires have been associated with a total of 825 known civilian and firefighter fatalities.

TL;DR: In this paper, a new method for the prediction of the viscosity of coal ash slags, in the Newtonian region, is presented, which is most reliable in that region.
Abstract: A new method for the prediction of the viscosity of coal ash slags, in the Newtonian region, is presented. The technique is modeled on experimental viscosity data less than 1000 Pa s and hence is most reliable in that region. The capability of the model in predicting the viscosity of slags from coal ash was found to be superior to a number of the most commonly used empirical models found in the literature, which are based on simplified oxide melts or British coal ash slags. The method also provides an indication of the relative fluxing strength of the basic oxides usually found in coal ash slags. It was found that the fluxing strength is related to the inverse of the cation radius.

TL;DR: The structure of alpha-crystallin has been studied for more than 50 years but its three-dimensional structure remains unknown because it has not been possible to obtain crystals for X-ray studies and it is too large for NMR measurements as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: alpha-crystallin, the major protein of the mammalian lens in most species, is an aggregate assembled from two polypeptides, each with a molecular weight around 20,000 Da. It is polydisperse and can be isolated in a variety of forms, including spherical particles with molecular weights ranging upwards from about 200 kDa. Sequence comparisons reveal that it is a member of the small heat shock protein (shsp) family. These proteins are aggregates assembled from polypeptides of 10 to 25 kDa that share a common central domain of about 90 residues (the 'alpha-crystallin domain') with variable N- and C-terminal extensions. alpha-crystallin has been intensively studied for more than 50 years but its three-dimensional structure remains unknown because it has not been possible to obtain crystals for X-ray studies and it is too large for NMR measurements. Structural information has been derived from a variety of solution studies. Because of the protein's polydispersity, interpretation of data has been difficult. This led to different viewpoints and vigorous debate on its structure and properties. Recently, the crystal structures of two closely-related small heat shock proteins have been determined. These have provided some insight into the structure of a-crystallin and explanations of previous observations. Like many other heat shock proteins, alpha-crystallin exhibits chaperone-like properties, including the ability to prevent the precipitation of denatured proteins and to increase cellular tolerance to stress. It has been suggested that these functions are important for the maintenance of lens transparency and the prevention of cataract.

TL;DR: The algorithm and software developed in this study make feasible the routine phasing of high-density SNP chips in large datasets.
Abstract: Background
Knowing the phase of marker genotype data can be useful in genome-wide association studies, because it makes it possible to use analysis frameworks that account for identity by descent or parent of origin of alleles and it can lead to a large increase in data quantities via genotype or sequence imputation. Long-range phasing and haplotype library imputation constitute a fast and accurate method to impute phase for SNP data.
