Alignment and phylogenetic analysis of Ca-AIF1 amino acid sequences with other animal AIF-1s.(A) Multiple alignment. Conserved amino acids were shaded and each shade represents a degree of conservation (black, 100%, grey, 70%). The alignment was taken by ClustalX program. (B) Phylogenetic analysis was performed by MEGA (version 3.1) program based on the AIF-1 amino acid sequences from various animals. The phylogenetic tree was constructed using neighbor-joining method and bootstrap 1000. The human calcium binding protein was taken as out-group root.

Please note that it is indeed _another_ sunny day and I'm in the shop. Robert, if you're reading this, I hope you know that I enjoy working in my shop on sunny days and don't always wish I was out riding my bike. Really ;)
Mt Banks (orientation shown by ruler): 65 degrees. Lyrebird prints: 95-118 degrees Note also the dissecting lyrebird print. Not convinced that this is a Mt Banks alignment as some suggest.
It is also commonplace amongst certain authors to refer to these as emu prints. They look nothing like actual emu prints and are in fact the size and shape of lyrebird prints.
Nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences and phylogenetic analysis of oral disk-specific protein (PregOBP56a).A, cDNA and deduced amino acid sequences of an oral disk-specific protein. A signal peptide is shown in italic. N-terminal amino acid sequence determined by Edman degradation is underlined. Arrowheads show 6 cysteine residues, which are hallmarks of insect classic OBPs. The three arrows indicate annealing sites of a degenerate (EEQKAKV-1) and two gene-specific (PregOBP56a-1 and PregOBP56a-2) primers, B, Phylogenetic tree of odorant-binding protein 56a like-protein sequences. Phormia regina odorant-binding protein 56a is shown in bold. Accession numbers of each protein are given in the parenthesis. Bootstrap values were determined from 1,000 replications. Bar indicates 5% divergence.
The Salt River Canyon Bridge is on an s-curve alignment at the bottom of a steep canyon and matches the existing bridge which was converted to a pedestrian bridge; the new bridge was intended to contrast the old bridge by showing a modern streamline example of the traditional arch form; the red color was selected for the bridge to signify contemporary features and to complement the reds and browns of the canyon walls; the Indian art forms on the bridgerail and adjoining rest area structures were designed by the two Apache Indian Tribes residing on either end of the bridge. The bridge has an overall length of 380 feet and a main span of 186 feet.
Phylogeny of the gp120 V2 region in PLVs.The Phylogenetic tree (unrooted, left panel) was constructed based on whole genome nucleotide sequences, using a neighbor-joining method [43] and bootstrapping for 1000 steps. The associated gp120 V2 region sequence alignment was accomplished using the Clustal W program [44]. The twin-cysteine residues are colored red and marked with a red bar, and the conserved tyrosine (Y) in green. The residues are numbered based on the standard system, which uses HXBc2 as a reference [45]. The viral strains used for the phylogenetic tree construction are as follows respectively: HIV-1, AF033819; HIV-2, M30502; SIVcpzANT, U42720; SIVcpzTAN, EF394356; SIVsmm, AF4679.
We started Day 2 of our 15-day trip with a complicated loop that involved backtracking over 10 miles of highway to see old wagon ruts at a Nebraska rest area on the wrong side of Interstate 80. If you've been following this page for eleven months, you might remember that I tried racing the sun to see these ruts the last time we went this way and lost. We still didn't know which path we'd take heading home in a couple of weeks, so I made sure to get the picture now.
These weird wheels sitting on a couple of rows of bricks mark the remnant tracks left by wagons that passed this way a couple of centuries ago along the Platte River road, the path Euro-American settlers took in the early-to-mid 19th century when they started heading West. A lot of people call this the Overland Trail, but that's just a catch-all name applied late in the process of Westward Expansion by the Butterfield Stagecoach Company. This is the corridor the roads have always followed, going way back thousands of years to trails the native people used. In the early 18th century, settler types with covered wagons called this the Oregon Trail or the California Trail or the Bozeman Trail or the Mormon Trail or a bunch of other names, depending on where they meant to split off later. In Nebraska, it was always the same trail hugging the Platte.
Like the Platte, the trail usually spread out over the landscape into a braided river of ruts, and there wasn't any specific path the wagons followed, but this spot near the modern Nebraska town of Sutherland was different. There used to be a landscape feature here called O'Fallon's Bluff, a low but steep face of barren, alkali rock that ran 20 miles along the river. The pioneer trails followed the bluff for most of its length, and they climbed up on top of it through a narrow pass right here. So this was a choke point, one of the only spots in the entire sea of grass covering all of Nebraska where the wagons had to take a single track. This made the ruts deeper here and more durable, though even then, you can barely see them in this picture. I found them hard to pick out in person.
The choke-point nature of O'Fallon's Bluff is less clear today in large part because of that interstate highway you can see down there. They built the highway right on top of O'Fallon's Bluff, and the great earthworks machines flattened the bluff and plowed it under so that you don't even see it anymore. The highway runs right on top of the wagon path for much of the route here from North Platte. The ramp on the east side of the rest area swallows these ruts just down the hill. Everything about this landscape has changed. Only this tiny segment of ruts still hides in the grass like ghosts.
A couple of facts about O'Fallon's Bluff:
* I don't know what made the soil and water here so alkaline, but it was obvious to the settler pioneers who travelled this way. They wrote in their diaries of bitter water and a bare landscape with almost no vegetation. According to the Wikipedia, a traveler named Emily Towell wrote, "There were few flowers to be seen, only withered poppies, prickly pears and sunflowers. Now and then we glimpsed a few spears of green grass." I guess they fixed that when they built the interstate. Or maybe fertilizers off the farm fields next to the rest area have mitigated the issue.
* This spot was a common location for fights between settler pioneers and native people, and US cavalrymen documented dozens of "Indian attacks" in this stretch of trail. Thirteen Cheyenne warriors killed a man named Almon Babbitt and two unnamed companions right here in 1856. The choke point probably made this a good place to ambush people you didn't like.
* The Donner Party passed this way on June 18, 1846. The diaries don't say what they had for lunch.
* I will have the opportunity to make more Donner Party jokes toward the end of this trip.
As the Winter Soltice approaches, the afternoon sun comes into alignment with the peephole in my front door. It travels across the wall, over a bookcase, and settles in a spot on the opposite side from the front door. I try to catch it and it disappears. Daily, it gets bigger. Maybe one day soon it will expand and fill me with light.
