We study the shape and motion of gas bubbles in a liquid flowing through a horizontal or slightly inclined thin annulus. Experimental data show that in the horizontal annulus, bubbles develop a unique ‘tadpole-like’ shape with a semi-circular cap and a highly stretched tail. As the annulus is inclined, the bubble tail tends to vanish, resulting in a significant decrease of bubble length. To model the bubble evolution, the thin annulus is conceptualised as a ‘Hele-Shaw’ cell in a curvilinear space. The three-dimensional flow within the cell is represented by a gap-averaged, two-dimensional model, which achieved a close match to the experimental data. The numerical model is further used to investigate the effects of gap thickness and pipe diameter on the bubble behaviour. The mechanism for the semi-circular cap formation is interpreted based on an analogous irrotational flow field around a circular cylinder, based on which a theoretical solution to the bubble velocity is derived. The bubble motion and cap geometry is mainly controlled by the gravitational component perpendicular to the flow direction. The bubble elongation in the horizontal annulus is caused by the buoyancy that moves the bubble to the top of the annulus. However, as the annulus is inclined, the gravitational component parallel to the flow direction becomes important, causing bubble separation at the tail and reduction in bubble length.

Whole apples have not been previously implicated in outbreaks of foodborne bacterial illness. We investigated a nationwide listeriosis outbreak associated with caramel apples. We defined an outbreak-associated case as an infection with one or both of two outbreak strains of Listeria monocytogenes highly related by whole-genome multilocus sequence typing (wgMLST) from 1 October 2014 to 1 February 2015. Single-interviewer open-ended interviews identified the source. Outbreak-associated cases were compared with non-outbreak-associated cases and traceback and environmental investigations were performed. We identified 35 outbreak-associated cases in 12 states; 34 (97%) were hospitalized and seven (20%) died. Outbreak-associated ill persons were more likely to have eaten commercially produced, prepackaged caramel apples (odds ratio 326·7, 95% confidence interval 32·2–3314). Environmental samples from the grower's packing facility and distribution-chain whole apples yielded isolates highly related to outbreak isolates by wgMLST. This outbreak highlights the importance of minimizing produce contamination with L. monocytogenes. Investigators should perform single-interviewer open-ended interviews when a food is not readily identified.

We present an investigation of the halo dynamics of M31 using planetary nebulae velocities. We have performed on-band [OIII] and off-band continuum imaging for a 3.6 square degree area centred on M31 and follow-up spectroscopy for over 600 planetary nebulae candidates. In the future the halo mass will be measured and the mass distribution and velocity anisotropy will be constrained as a function of radius.

Stereocilia of the inner ear play an integral role in the mechanotransduction of sound. Their structural support is derived from actin filaments and actin-binding proteins. We have identified a novel actin-binding protein, 2E4-kaptin (KPTN), which appears to be involved in this structural network. Using double label immunofluorescence, we now show that KPTN extends beyond the barbed ends of actin filaments at the tips of stereocilia, and using cloned human cDNA, we mapped KPTN to chromosome 19q13.4. A combination of FISH, radiation hybrid mapping and YAC screening localized KPTN between markers D19S412 and NIB1805, making this gene an excellent functional and positional candidate for DFNA4, a form of autosomal dominant non-syndromic hearing loss. We identified a second family with inherited deafness that also maps to the DFNA4 region. To screen KPTN for deafness-causing mutations, we first determined its genomic structure and then completed a mutational analysis by direct sequencing and SSCP in affected family members. Although no deafness-causing mutations were identified in the coding region, KPTN remains an excellent candidate gene for hearing loss; by synteny, its murine orthologue also remains a candidate gene for the Nijmegan waltzer (nv) mouse mutant, which has vestibular defects and a variable sensorineural hearing loss.

The demand for glycine to satisfy normal growth during early life is considerable and most has to be made endogenously. The extent to which adequate glycine is available can be assessed by measuring the urinary excretion of 5-L-oxoproline. The excretion of 5-L-oxoproline at 6 weeks of age for infants in Trinidad of African, Indian or mixed parentage (398 μmol/mmol creatinine) was significantly greater than for infants born in England of Caucasian parentage (194 μmol/mmol creatinine). There was no relationship between 5-L-oxoproline excretion and either sex or pattern of feeding. There were significant inverse relationships between 5-L-oxoproline/creatinine and birth weight, and head circumference either at birth or 6 weeks of age, suggesting that limited availability of glycine is associated with poorer growth before and after birth. For a group of infants born in England of Indian parentage, excretion of 5-L-oxoproline (155 μmol/mmol creatinine) was not different to infants of Caucasian parentage, but significantly less than infants born in Trinidad. The demonstration that 5-L-oxoproline/creatinine was similar in infants born in England, regardless of parentage, shows that the differences between England and Trinidad are related to environment and are unlikely to be accounted for by genetic differences or ethnicity.

A cross-sectional serological survey was undertaken in 82 randomly selected high-risk healthcare workers previously vaccinated with the hepatitis B vaccine. The study design allowed for the identification and testing for hepatitis B surface antibody in equal numbers of employees in six-month intervals up to five years after vaccination. The results showed a consistent decline in antibody level with time, and an increasing proportion of participants with antibody levels below the commonly accepted protective level of ≥10 S/N (sample counts/negative control counts) radioimmunoassay units. The percent of vaccinees whose S/N ratio was greater than 10 fell from 10% at one year, to 25% at two years, to over 50% at four years. Based on these figures, as well as the financial costs of hepatitis B in employees and the predictability of booster immunization, it was possible to assess the cost benefit of a hospital policy for reimmunization. At our institution, a strategy of revaccination at fixed intervals could save up to $200,000 over a ten-year period if revaccination was not offered and vaccine efficacy declined. The information obtained should help determine the need for revaccination and the advantages and disadvantages of alternative revaccination strategies.
