Murder mystery remains: DNA rules out Briggs as Blazing Car victim

Posted: at 12:46 am

Jan. 20, 2014 A forensic team from the University of Leicester and Northumbria University has spearheaded an investigation to try and identify the victim of a gruesome murder case from 1930.

Results from DNA analysis have confirmed that William Briggs, a man who disappeared at around the same time that the crime was committed, has been excluded as the victim of the 'Blazing Car Murder'.

In addition, the results show that the DNA from the tissue sample is that of an uncontaminated profile, opening the possibility that a match could still be identified.

A team from the University of Leicester, led by Dr John Bond OBE from the Department of Chemistry and Dr Lisa Smith from the Department of Criminology worked with colleagues from Northumbria University, Northamptonshire Police and The Royal London Hospital Museum to tackle the riddle of the Blazing Car Murder case from over 80 years ago.

The case involved the murder of a male in a car fire in Hardingstone, Northamptonshire, on 6 November 1930. Alfred Rouse was convicted, and later hanged, at Bedford Gaol in March 1931, for murdering his victim who to this day, has not been identified.

At the time, a post mortem examination was carried out in the garage of the local public house by the Home Office-appointed pathologist Sir Bernard Spilsbury, working alongside another local pathologist.

Sir Spilsbury reported that lavender coloured material and light brown hair were found at the scene. It was further documented that the victim's jawbone was removed to assist with possible identification and tissue samples taken for microscopical examination.

Two of these tissue samples are still in existence and archived in The Royal London Hospital Museum: one from the prostate to confirm the sex of the victim, and another from the lung to determine whether or not the victim was already dead before the fire was started.

In recent months, attention has turned to the fact that a man named William Briggs left his family home in London to attend a doctor's appointment at around the same time the crime was committed -- and was never seen or heard of again.

As part of their family ancestry research, the relatives of William Briggs wanted to verify earlier generations' belief that their ancestor may have been Rouse's car murder victim.

Africa: Hookworm Genome Sequence Helps Identify Drug Candidates

Posted: at 12:46 am

Scientists have sequenced the genome of Necator americanus, the parasite behind around 85 per cent of human hookworm infections, giving them an unprecedented insight into the worm's biology that could help accelerate the development of drugs, diagnostics and vaccines against it.

They also used the sequence of the hookworm genome to identify possible targets for drugs and vaccines, publishing their findings in Nature Genetics this week (19 January).

Hookworms are responsible for neglected tropical diseases that affect 700 million people in poor communities. Infection with N. americanus leads to anaemia, malnutrition in pregnant women and impairment of children's cognitive and physical development.

With treatment failure due to drug resistance already becoming a challenge for current anti-hookworm therapies, new interventions are needed, the paper says.

But the lack of the parasite's complete genetic sequence has hampered the hunt for new approaches, scientists say.

One example is a family of proteins known as SCP/TAP, which are involved in host-parasite interactions.

They "have been studied as potential candidates for developing treatments" says Makedonka Mitreva, corresponding author from The Genome Institute at Washington University, United States.

"However, the full complement and the complexity of their gene family was not known."

The study identified 96 of these proteins specific to N. americanus, which could be potential drug or vaccine targets.

Stefan Geiger, an immunologist at the Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil, welcomes the study.

Loyalty is ‘irrelevant’, it’s performance that matters in Wipro

Posted: at 12:46 am

January 22, 2014 12:33 IST

Wipro, Indias third-largest software services company is making a shift in its human resources practice.

While evaluating employees, it will focus more on performance than the tenure of employment.

Though performance has been part of evaluation at Wipro for years, employees tenures at the company also played a role.

Traditionally, the way our model works is, if you have spent 10 years at the company, you are a delivery manager; if you have spent five, you are a project manager; if you have spent one, you are a rookie. Now, we are saying thats completely irrelevant, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) T K Kurien told Business Standard. What we are doing this year is saying, if you have skills, how many years youve spent at the company doesnt matter.

The company will consider soft and hard skills for assessing performance, to ensure employees are up-to-date with their jobs, Kurien said.

Today, an employee may be working at the cutting edge of a technology and have great customer interaction skills. But tomorrow, that skill may become redundant. When your skill becomes redundant, your grade will drop.

The new practice, which Kurien expects to bring about a big change at Wipro in two-three years, has already been tried by some of its peers.
