How to assign a likelihood ratio in a footwear mark case: an analysis and discussion in the light of R v T

This article analyses and discusses issues that pertain to the choice of relevant databases for assigning values to the components of evaluative likelihood ratio procedures at source level. Although several formal likelihood ratio developments currently exist, both case practitioners and recipients of expert information (such as judiciary) may be reluctant to consider them as a framework for evaluating scientific evidence in context. The recent ruling R v T and ensuing discussions in many forums provide illustrative examples for this. In particular, it is often felt that likelihood ratio-based reasoning amounts to an application that requires extensive quantitative information along with means for dealing with technicalities related to the algebraic formulation of these approaches. With regard to this objection, this article proposes two distinct discussions. In a first part, it is argued that, from a methodological point of view, there are additional levels of qualitative evaluation that are worth considering prior to focusing on particular numerical probability assignments. Analyses will be proposed that intend to show that, under certain assumptions, relative numerical values, as opposed to absolute values, may be sufficient to characterize a likelihood ratio for practical and pragmatic purposes. The feasibility of such qualitative considerations points out that the availability of hard numerical data is not a necessary requirement for implementing a likelihood ratio approach in practice. It is further argued that, even if numerical evaluations can be made, qualitative considerations may be valuable because they can further the understanding of the logical underpinnings of an assessment. In a second part, the article will draw a parallel to R v T by concentrating on a practical footwear mark case received at the authors' institute. This case will serve the purpose of exemplifying the possible usage of data from various sources in casework and help to discuss the difficulty associated with reconciling the depth of theoretical likelihood ratio developments and limitations in the degree to which these developments can actually be applied in practice.

Lymphocyte specificity to protein antigens. V. Conformational dependence of activation of cytochrome c-specific T cells.

Variations in the immunogenic and antigenic properties of native and denatured forms of cytochrome c were observed depending on the strain of mouse tested. In C57BL/6 and (C57BL/6 X DBA/2)F1 (BDF1) mice, priming with either native or denatured cytochrome c (apocytochrome c) gave rise to T cell blasts responding in a similar fashion to the two forms of the antigen and to different peptides derived from CNBr cleavage of the protein when tested for proliferation in the presence of C57BL/6 or BDF1 accessory cells. A different pattern of proliferation was observed when apocytochrome c-specific DBA/2 or BDF1 T cell blasts were tested with DBA/2 accessory cells. In this case, no response was obtained to heme peptide 1-65. This was not due to an inability of DBA/2 macrophages to process and present heme peptide 1-65, as they were able to present this antigen to native cytochrome c-specific BDF1 T cell blasts. Thus, it seems that different sets of clones are generated upon priming BDF1 mice with denatured cytochrome c which are able to recognize different sets of peptides depending on the nature of the accessory cells. The results obtained are consistent with the hypothesis that degradation and presentation of native and denatured cytochrome c by macrophages is dependent on the three-dimensional conformation of the protein.

Gênese e classificação de solos numa topossequência no ambiente de mar de morros do médio Vale do Paraíba do Sul, RJ

Solos tropicais são geralmente considerados altamente intemperizados, o que é atribuído às condições climáticas de altas temperaturas e precipitação pluvial. Entretanto, no ambiente de Mar de Morros, a intensidade dos processos pedogenéticos pode ser alterada pela remoção de material, em consequência do relevo movimentado, rejuvenescendo as superfícies. Este trabalho teve como objetivos caracterizar e classificar solos, formados a partir de muscovita-biotita gnaisse, em uma topossequência em Pinheiral (RJ). Os perfis localizam-se nos seguintes pontos da topossequência: (P1) topo de elevação, (P2) terço superior, (P3) terço médio, (P4) terço inferior e (P5) em área plana de várzea. Os perfis foram descritos, caracterizados e classificados segundo o Sistema Brasileiro de Classificação de Solos (SiBCS). As características edáficas que se destacaram foram: relação silte/argila; valor V %; valor T; ki; mineralogia da fração argila; e formas de Fe pedogênicas de alta cristalinidade (Fed). Ao longo da topossequência encontrou-se Cambissolo Háplico Tb distrófico típico no topo e no terço médio da topossequência. No terço superior foi identificado um Argissolo Vermelho-Amarelo distrófico típico e, no terço inferior, um Argissolo Amarelo eutrófico típico. Já na área plana de várzea foi observado um Gleissolo Háplico Tb distrófico típico. O relevo e o material de origem gnáissico estratificado foram os principais fatores que alteram a pedogênese.

Soil structure transformations from ferralic to nitic horizons on a toposequence in southeastern Brazil

The soil structure transformation from ferralic to nitic horizons was studied in a toposequence on quaternary red clayey sediments and diabase in Piracicaba (SP), Brazil. Morphological and micromorphological studies, image analysis, soil water characteristic curves and monitoring of (total) soil water potential head were used. The presence of polyconcave vughs, clayskins and planar voids shows that the vertical and lateral transition and structural transformation from ferralic to nitic horizons is given by the coalescence of the microaggregates, probably due to tensions created in a drier period in the past. Changes to a more humid climate with a defined dry season and alternate drying and wetting cycles resulted in the fissuration of the previously coalesced material, forming polyhedral aggregates and microaggregates. Simultaneously, clay illuviation filled the voids and together with the compacting action of the biological activity of these soils contributed to the coalescence of microaggregates.

New loci associated with birth weight identify genetic links between intrauterine growth and adult height and metabolism.

Birth weight within the normal range is associated with a variety of adult-onset diseases, but the mechanisms behind these associations are poorly understood. Previous genome-wide association studies of birth weight identified a variant in the ADCY5 gene associated both with birth weight and type 2 diabetes and a second variant, near CCNL1, with no obvious link to adult traits. In an expanded genome-wide association meta-analysis and follow-up study of birth weight (of up to 69,308 individuals of European descent from 43 studies), we have now extended the number of loci associated at genome-wide significance to 7, accounting for a similar proportion of variance as maternal smoking. Five of the loci are known to be associated with other phenotypes: ADCY5 and CDKAL1 with type 2 diabetes, ADRB1 with adult blood pressure and HMGA2 and LCORL with adult height. Our findings highlight genetic links between fetal growth and postnatal growth and metabolism.
