TL;DR: The leakage of intracellular metabolites observed during quenching yeast cells with cold methanol solution, the efficacy of six different methods for the extraction of intrACEllular metabolites, and the losses noticed during sample concentration by lyophilization and solvent evaporation are reported.
Abstract: Sample preparation is considered one of the limiting steps in microbial metabolome analysis. Eukaryotes and prokaryotes behave very differently during the several steps of classical sample preparation methods for analysis of metabolites. Even within the eukaryote kingdom there is a vast diversity of cell structures that make it imprudent to blindly adopt protocols that were designed for a specific group of microorganisms. We have therefore reviewed and evaluated the whole sample preparation procedures for analysis of yeast metabolites. Our focus has been on the current needs in metabolome analysis, which is the analysis of a large number of metabolites with very diverse chemical and physical properties. This work reports the leakage of intracellular metabolites observed during quenching yeast cells with cold methanol solution, the efficacy of six different methods for the extraction of intracellular metabolites, and the losses noticed during sample concentration by lyophilization and solvent evaporation. A more reliable procedure is suggested for quenching yeast cells with cold methanol solution, followed by extraction of intracellular metabolites by pure methanol. The method can be combined with reduced pressure solvent evaporation and therefore represents an attractive sample preparation procedure for high-throughput metabolome analysis of yeasts.

TL;DR: A population expansion in northeast Australia during the Holocene epoch associated with limited gene flow from this region to the rest of Australia, consistent with the spread of the Pama–Nyungan languages is inferred.
Abstract: The population history of Aboriginal Australians remains largely uncharacterized. Here we generate high-coverage genomes for 83 Aboriginal Australians (speakers of Pama–Nyungan languages) and 25 Papuans from the New Guinea Highlands. We find that Papuan and Aboriginal Australian ancestors diversified 25–40 thousand years ago (kya), suggesting pre-Holocene population structure in the ancient continent of Sahul (Australia, New Guinea and Tasmania). However, all of the studied Aboriginal Australians descend from a single founding population that differentiated ~10–32 kya. We infer a population expansion in northeast Australia during the Holocene epoch (past 10,000 years) associated with limited gene flow from this region to the rest of Australia, consistent with the spread of the Pama–Nyungan languages. We estimate that Aboriginal Australians and Papuans diverged from Eurasians 51–72 kya, following a single out-of-Africa dispersal, and subsequently admixed with archaic populations. Finally, we report evidence of selection in Aboriginal Australians potentially associated with living in the desert.

TL;DR: In this article, a local monodisperse approximation is proposed for the free-form determination of size distributions for systems with hard-sphere interactions, where the size distributions are determined by least-squares methods with smoothness and non-negativity constraints.
Abstract: Methods for the free-form determination of size distributions for systems with hard-sphere interactions are described. An approximation, called the local monodisperse approximation, is introduced. Model calculations show that this approximation gives relatively small errors even at relatively high polydispersities and large volume fractions. The size distributions are determined by least-squares methods with smoothness and non-negativity constraints. The local monodisperse approximation leads to normal equations that are linear in the amplitude of the size distribution. This is used when solving the least-squares problem: only the two effective parameters describing the interference effects are treated as nonlinear parameters in an external optimization routine. The parameters describing the size distribution are determined by a linear least-squares method. The size distribution is also determined using the nonlinear equations from the calculation of the scattering intensity in the Percus–Yevick approximation. For this, a nonlinear least-squares routine with a smoothness constraint and a non-negativity constraint is used. Both approaches are tested by analysis of simulated examples calculated by the analytical expressions in the Percus–Yevick approximation. Finally, the methods are applied to two sets of experimental data from silica particles and from δ′ precipitates in an Al–Li alloy. For the simulated examples, good agreement is found with the input distributions. For the experimental examples, the results agree with the expected and known properties of the samples.
