Summary
The advent of multiple orbital and in situ missions to planetary bodies beyond Earth has enabled characterization of extraterrestrial shallow crustal processes. We describe examples of interpreting geochemical, isotopic, and radar properties from multiple remote datasets, supplemented with in situ observations from rovers and landers, meteorites, and lunar samples. Given the availability of distinct data types and the relevance to bulk-silicate bodies in the Solar System, we present five case studies for the Moon and Mars. The first involves lunar magmatic processes in relation to TiO2 and radargram-derived physical properties. Next, O and Fe isotope variations relative to the Mg number provide insight into the degree of fractional crystallization in lunar lava flows. Physical mixing of endmembers and chemical weathering processes in Gusev crater soil on Mars are discussed. Effective use of the Chemical Index of Alteration (CIA) is also considered by comparing mineralogic observations across Mars with terrestrial references. Lastly, the nature of bulk soil hydration on Mars is described by assessing chemical variations with Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This chapter describes in situ analyses and mapping across local and regional scales. Data synthesis also involves contrasting depth scales from tens of microns to multiple kilometers.

The “upper pit” at the Lost Chicken placer gold mine in east central Alaska contains fossils that provide information on the flora and insect fauna of interior Alaska just before the onset of global cooling at 2.5 myr. Fossils come from sediments interbedded with the Lost Chicken tephra (dated at 2.9 ± 0.4 myr—early Late Pliocene) and portray the floodplain and valley of a small creek within a region dominated by a coniferous forest richer in genera and species than the present one. Climate was wetter and less continental, and there was probably little or no permafrost. At least one other Pliocene tephra (the Fortymile tephra) occurs at the site and is also associated with plant and insect fossils. Among these fossils are extinct plants and insects like those found at other Tertiary sites in northern Canada and Alaska. The Lost Chicken sequence is the same age as the Beaufort Formation on Meighen Island, more than 1000 km to the north. Like Lost Chicken, Meighen Island sediments contain fossils representing a diverse boreal environment. This shows that the latitudinal climate gradient during early Late Pliocene time was shallower than at present and the boreal forest had a far greater latitudinal span than now.

Objective
To outline the evolution of school food standards and their implementation and evaluation in each of the four countries of the UK since 2000.
DesignReview of relevant policies, surveys and evaluations, including country-specific surveys and regional evaluations.
SettingUK: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.
SubjectsPrimary and secondary schools and schoolchildren.
ResultsBy September 2013 standards will have been introduced in all primary and secondary schools in the UK. Evaluations have varied in their scope and timing, relating to government forward planning, appropriate baselines and funding. Where standards have been implemented, the quality and nutritional value of food provided have improved. Emerging evidence shows improved overall diet and nutrient intake by school-aged children as a result.
ConclusionsThe re-introduction of school food standards in the UK has not been centrally coordinated, but by September 2013 will be compulsory across all four countries in the UK, except in England where academies are now exempt. Provision of improved school food has had a demonstrable impact on diet and nutrition beyond the school dining room and the school gate, benefiting children from all socio-economic groups. Improved school food and dining environments are associated with higher levels of school lunch take up. Implementation of school food standards requires investment. It is critical to policy development that the value of this investment is measured and protected using planned, appropriate, robust and timely evaluations. Where appropriate, evaluations should be carried out across government departments and between countries.

The aim of the present study was to describe the present knowledge of healthcare professionals and the practices surrounding enteral feeding in the UK and Irish paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and propose recommendations for practice and research. A cross-sectional (thirty-four item) survey was sent to all PICU listed in the Paediatric Intensive Care Audit Network (PICANET) database (http://www.picanet.org.uk) in November 2010. The overall PICU response rate was 90 % (27/30 PICU; 108 individual responses in total). The overall breakdown of the professional groups was 59 % nursing staff (most were children's nurses), 27 % medical staff, 13 % dietitians and 1 % physician assistants. Most units (96 %) had some written guidance (although brief and generic) on enteral nutrition (EN); 85 % of staff, across all professional groups (P= 0·672), thought that guidelines helped to improve energy delivery in the PICU. Factors contributing to reduced energy delivery included: fluid-restrictive policies (60 %), the child just being ‘too ill’ to feed (17 %), surgical post-operative orders (16 %), nursing staff being too slow in starting feeds (7 %), frequent procedures requiring fasting (7 %) and haemodynamic instability (7 %). What constituted an ‘acceptable’ level of gastric residual volume (GRV) varied markedly across respondents, but GRV featured prominently in the decision to both stop EN and to determine feed tolerance and was similar for all professional groups. There was considerable variation across respondents about which procedures required fasting and the duration of this fasting. The present survey has highlighted the variability of the present enteral feeding practices across the UK and Ireland, particularly with regard to the use of GRV and fasting for procedures. The present study highlights a number of recommendations for both practice and research.

The formal commissioning of the IRWG occurred at the 1991 Buenos Aires General Assembly, following a Joint Commission meeting at the IAU GA in Baltimore in 1988 that identified the problems with ground-based infrared photometry. The meeting justification, papers, and conclusions, can be found in Milone (1989). In summary, the challenges involved how to explain the failure to achieve the milli-magnitude precision expected of infrared photometry and an apparent 3% limit on system transformability. The proposed solution was to redefine the broadband Johnson system, the passbands of which had proven so unsatisfactory that over time effectively different systems proliferated, although bearing the same “JHKLMNQ” designations; the new system needed to be better positioned and centered in the spectral windows of the Earth's atmosphere, and the variable water vapour content of the atmosphere needed to be measured in real time to better correct for atmospheric extinction.

Purpose: The service was piloted in response to requests for assistance with patients experiencing severe anxiety undergoing head and neck radiotherapy. This paper describes the aims of the service, interventions provided and the recorded responses of patients to the support given.
Data: Information about who referred, patient demographics, the interventions provided and patient feedback (n = 112) was extracted from treatment records over a 15-month period.
Findings: All referred patients successfully completed procedures and treatment. About 43 patients voluntarily disclosed past trauma, for example, sexual abuse, assault, childhood trauma, which they judged to have been linked to their claustrophobic responses. Advice and support was given to 40 patients also referred for smoking cessation; an additional three patients requested support when cravings returned.
Conclusion: There is a paucity of information about the extent of the distress triggered by radiotherapy procedures and what interventions could be offered in practice. Further work is required to include an economic assessment and longer term effects on patient compliance with treatment and smoking cessation. Training needs for complementary therapists and radiotherapy staff at this centre were also identified; these are being addressed.

Summary
Introduction
In his classic Production of Commodities by Means of Commodities (1960), Piero Sraffa claimed (in Chapter XII) that a technique of production which was most profitable at one rate of profit (interest) could become inferior to another technique at a higher rate and then reappear as the most profitable at a yet higher rate. This phenomenon, known as the ‘re-switching’ of techniques, has profound implications for the logic of using aggregate concepts of capital and the standard monotonic relationships between ‘factor’ quantities and prices derived there from (see Harcourt, 1972, and, for a recent exposition, Ahmad, 1991). Sraffa's claim was the subject of intense debate in a symposium (1966) in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, and subsequently in papers by Galloway and Shukla (1974), Garegnani (1970, 1976), Sato (1976) and Laibman and Nell (1977). The outcome established categorically the possibility of re-switching in general multisector models of production, but despite these demonstrations of ‘possibility’, the question of ‘probability’ has received far less attention.
Apart from some early statements of (generally quite weak) sufficiency conditions for non-re-switching (e.g. Bruno, Burmeister and Sheshinski, 1966, p. 544), there have been few explicit attempts in the theoretical literature to deal with this question. One of the first was by Eltis (1973, Chap. 5), who considered the matter in relation to the two-sector model of Hicks (1965) and to his own particular variant of the model.

The anti-colon cancer effect of dietary fibre results in part from its fermentation into the short-chain fatty acid butyric acid (BA) by intestinal microflora. BA has potent anti-colon cancer properties owing to its ability to induce apoptosis in colon cancer cells. The colon is not the only location where BA may reach high concentrations, because dietary BA is rapidly absorbed and transported to the liver. We have investigated whether BA could induce apoptosis in transformed human liver (Hep G2) cells. Hep G2 cells treated with BA displayed acetylated histones, increased DNA fragmentation and morphological features consistent with apoptosis. These biochemical features of BA-treated liver cells are identical to those of BA-treated colon cells. In addition, we investigated whether BA present in tributyrin, a triacylglycerol more compatible for inclusion into colloidal lipid structures than BA, could also induce apoptosis in Hep G2 cells. Tributyrin induced DNA fragmentation and morphological features characteristic of apoptotic cells in Hep G2 cells. These results are a significant advance towards delivering BA via colloidal lipid particles to cancerous sites in vivo. This study showed that BA and tributyrin are potent apoptotic agents, and we suggest that sources of dietary BA, such as milk fat, may provide anti-liver cancer properties.
