Diagenetic evolution of the dop facies from the atlantis-ii-deep (red-sea) - evidence of early hydrothermal activity

Les sediments metalliferes de la fosse Atlantis II reposent depuis 23 000 ans sur un substratum basaltique. Ils sont actuellement recouverts par une saumure dense et chaude (66°C). Le facies inferieur des sediments du bassin W, couramment appele le facies DOP (Backer et Richter, 1973), est essentiellement compose de particules biogenes et silicatees, de pyrite et passees a goethite. L'etude de dix-sept echantillons preleves dans ce facies montre des modifications de la composition mineralo-gique et chimique des tests planctoniques observes a la loupe binoculaire, par rapport a leur composition originelle. Des neoformations diagenetiques sont observees. La calcite et l'aragonite primaires des tests de foraminiferes et de pteropodes ont ete transformees en solutions solides de carbonates de Fe, Mn, Ca et Mg, et la silice amorphe issue de radiolaires et de diatomees, en quartz ou en calcedoine. Le fait qu'une grande partie du sediment soit tres riche en radiolaires et en diatomees est particulier a la fosse Atlantis II puisque les sediments pelagiques contemporains de la mer Rouge contiennent une fraction biogenique presque exclusivement carbonatee. La pyrite apparait dans les sediments biodetritiques. Ce sulfure represente 1 a 2% (wt) de la roche totale a la base de la serie et atteint une proportion de 20% (wt) dans la partie superieure. Les sediments du facies DOP ont ete affectes par des reactions diagenetiques liees a l'oxydation bacterienne de la matiere organique. Nos resultats permettent de preciser les conditions chimiques dans lesquelles ont siege ces reactions. Les sediments detritiques et biogenes qui se sont deposes dans la fosse Atlantis II durant cette periode (de 23 000 a 11 000 ans), contenaient des metaux (Mn et Fe) sous la forme d'oxydes. Les oxydes ont ete reduits et les metaux ont precipite en pyrite et en carbonates secondaires au cours de reactions biogeochimiques d'oxydo-reduction. La quantite des neoformations pyriteuses et carbonatees indique que les apports en oxydes ont ete particulierement importants, et l'activite bacterienne a ete intense. Le milieu devait etre fertile et abondamment alimente en matiere organique. L'environnement etait egalement favorable a la conservation de la silice. Ces constatations suggerent que les conditions physico-chimiques de la fosse etaient differentes de celles de l'environnement pelagique contemporain du reste de la mer Rouge. La signature isotopique en Sr du facies inferieur des sediments du bassin W evolue du pole eau de mer a la base (0,709) vers un pole saumure (0,708). Ces valeurs de 87 Sr/ 86 Sr confirment l'existence d'une saumure initiale lors du depot et de l'evolution diagenetique des sediments biodetritiques. La fosse Atlantis II a donc ete alimentee par un fluide mineralisateur bien avant le depot des premiers sulfures hydrothermaux, date a 11 000 ans. L'âge des premieres mineralisations dans le facies DOP est estime a 19 000 ans B.P.

CUSTOMER ADOPTION OF MULTI CHANNEL USAGE: AN EMPIRICAL INVESTIGATION OF THE BANKING INDUSTRY

Banks in India have succeeded in promoting new services to its customers. The likelihood of current customers is tempted to do business online. The study sought to investigate factors that influenced Indian bank customers‟ adoption of three major banking channels, i.e. branch banking, ATM and Internet banking. Based on extant literature on bank marketing and interviews with bank managers in India, a questionnaire was designed. Then, in a large-scale survey by means of personal and telephone interviews, data was obtained from bank customers. This paper focuses on the adoption of multi channel banking by existing banks customers through an investigation of the factors that influence customer‟s acceptance of multi channel banking services. An exploratory study of the Indian customers in six banks is conducted to identify the factors which lead to adoption of multi channel banking services with the help of data reduction technique called Factor Analysis.

Relationship between Branch Performance and Current Deposit Interest-Free Loan (Case Study: Bank Melli of Zabol City)

The aim of present was study relationship between branch performance with current deposit interest-free loan (Case Study: Bank Melli of Zabol city). In this study, 268 questionnaires evaluated performance of 29 branches distributed in Zabol city. Zabol's total number of branches was 32 branches that the third branch will not measured because they were newly established. Due to the small population of branches, all of society was studied in this study. This study is considered descriptive survey. Questionnaire was used to evaluate statistical population attitudes about the performance of short-term bank deposits and longterm success of bank. The results showed that there is significant relationship between performances of branch and short-term deposits absorption and this relationship is reversed and there is no significant relationship between branch performance and with current deposit.
Waiting for Unruh

How long does a uniformly accelerated observer need to interact with a quantum field in order to record thermality in the Unruh temperature? We address this question for a pointlike Unruh–DeWitt detector, coupled linearly to a real Klein–Gordon field of mass m ≥ 0 and treated within first order perturbation theory, in the limit of large detector energy gap E gap . We first show that when the interaction duration Δ T is fixed, thermality in the sense of detailed balance cannot hold as E gap → ∞ , and this property generalises from the Unruh effect to any Kubo–Martin–Schwinger state satisfying certain technical conditions. We then specialise to a massless field in four spacetime dimensions and show that detailed balance does hold when Δ T grows as a power-law in E gap as E gap → ∞ , provided the switch-on and switch-off intervals are stretched proportionally to Δ T and the switching function has sufficiently strong Fourier decay. By contrast, if Δ T grows by stretching a plateau in which the interaction remains at constant strength but keeping the duration of the switch-on and switch-off intervals fixed, detailed balance at E gap → ∞ requires Δ T to grow faster than any polynomial in E gap , under mild technical conditions. The results also hold for a static detector in a Minkowski heat bath. The results limit the utility of the large E gap regime as a probe of thermality in time-dependent versions of the Hawking and Unruh effects, such as an observer falling into a radiating black hole. They may also have implications on the design of prospective experimental tests of the Unruh effect.
OUTCOME OF REVISION IN COMPARISON WITH PRIMARY TOTAL KNEE ARTHROPLASTY IN IRAN

Background: In the recent decade, many primary total knee arthroplasties have been carried out in Iran and the number of revision cases is expected to rise with the aging population. The aim of this study was to report the outcome of revision surgery in the country and make a comparison between the outcome of revision and that of the primary arthroplasty. Methods: Retrospectively, each case of 19 consecutive revision total knee arthroplasties was matched individually with two cases of primary total knee arthroplasty based on gender and age (within 5 years) in order to compare the outcome in the two groups of revision and primary arthroplasties. Detailed demographic data, underlying diagnosis, patient-reported pain severity, and Knee Society score were recorded pre-operatively and in the third month after the surgery for each patient in the two groups. Using chi-square, fisher's exact, one-way ANOVA, independent, and paired t-tests, we compared the outcomes in two groups as well as in each group before and after the arthroplasty. Results: Knee pain was significantly decreased after the surgery in the two groups of revision (p = 0.031) and the primary (p < 0.001) arthroplasty. There was no statistically notable difference of post-operative pain between the two groups of revision and primary TKA. The Knee Society score remarkably increased in both groups after the surgery (both ps < 0.001). The differences of Knee Society scores before and after the surgery were calculated separately in each group and compared to show that the primary group had a better outcome (p < 0.001) rather than the revision arthroplasty group. Conclusion: Conclusion: Satisfactory outcomes were obtained in our revision total knee arthroplasties; however, the primary arthroplasties had better results. The results of surgery appear to be closely related to the technical demands placed on surgeon. Because we have to deal with more cases of revision total knee arthroplasty in near future, more comprehensive risk factor assessment studies with large sample size are required for gaining better results.
Design and Implementation of a High Performance Network Scanning System for Vxworks Hosts

Host scanning is an important technique for vulnerability mining and penetration testing, which is crucial to analyzing the safety of information system. Through the research into developed scanning systems both at home and abroad, such as Shodan, Zoomeye etc., this essay proposes a design model of a rapid scanning system for all Vxworks hosts based on Vxworks’ own characteristics. On the basis of digitalization and Internet, the model aims to scan the operating system versions, available services, open ports and location, etc. of all Vxworks hosts. The model in this essay combines Zmap and Nmap, thus it can ensure the rapidity as well as accuracy of scanning. The model is fully automatic and timely updates the information of Vxworks hosts, it also supplies humanized management interface and elaborate scan report. Moreover, this essay provides method of software implementation. Keywords-host scanning; Vxworks; Zmap; Nmap
Seed yield and economics of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) as influenced by foliar application of agrochemicals

A field study on 76 farmer's field was conducted in three different villages of Jhunjhunu district of Rajasthan under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (RKVY) project during RABI season 2009–10 with the objective to enhance the productivity level and net return of chickpea crop. Data reveals that two foliage application of mixed solution of thiourea (0.05%) and zinc sulphate (0.2%) agrochemicals at branching and pod formation stage has positive influence on chickpea seed yield and net returns. Highest seed yield (10.35 q/ha) achieved under T4 treatment followed by T3 treatment (10.25 q/ha) in comparison to other treatments. The B: C ratio was also highest under T4 treatment (1.42) as compared to control (1.34) and other treatments.
Some Heavy Metals Content of Cabbage and Soil Cultivated in the Bezi Bar Farm Area of Katima Mulilo, Namibia

The accumulation of heavy metals in agricultural soils is of increasing concern due to food safety and potential health risks. This study determined the concentrations of chromium, cadmium, cobalt, lead, nickel and arsenic in the cabbage and soil obtained from the Bezi bar farm area of Katima Mulilo and compare the results with regulatory limits. Samples of the cabbage and soil were randomly collected from the same points in the farm during mid-October, 2013; 4 Months After Planting (4MAP). The samples were digested using EPA methods 3052 (cabbage) and 3050B (soil) followed by ICP-OES (ICP: Perkin Elmer Optima 7000 DV) analyses. The heavy metals concentrations in the cabbage varied between 2.00 mg/kg - 0.05 mg/kg while in the farm soil, the result varied between 3.60 mg/kg - 0.2 mg/kg. The soil-cabbage transfer factors of the heavy metals showed the following bio-accumulation trend: Ni (1.25) > Cd (0.40) > Pb (0.23) > Cr (0.20) > Co (0.04) > As (0.03). There were very high positive correlations between the cabbage and soil heavy metals which suggest common source of input. Although, the present levels of the heavy metals were lower than their regulatory limits in vegetable and agricultural soil; continuous accumulation is a concern to the produce safety and quality because of chronic human exposure. The soil properties revealed poor nutrient status resulting to the high usage of chemical fertilizer in order to improve cabbage yield and this pose threat to the produce quality and safety. Therefore, it becomes imperative for the farmer to consider using organic manure in enhancing the soil fertility in order to limit accumulations of residual chemicals in the soil and crop.
Quantification Curves for the X-Ray Powder Diffraction Analysis of Mixed-Layer Kaolinite/Smectite

X-ray powder diffraction patterns for many interstratified kaolinite/glycolated smectites were calculated by changing combinations of probabilities and transition probabilities of two component layers. Reichweite = 0 and Reichweite = 1 structures were investigated. The calculated d-values were plotted, with PKS (the probability that a smectite layer succeeds a kaolin layer given that the first layer is a kaolinite layer) and PSK as the axes of coordinates. These d-values were then linked into equal d-value curves on a graph. Four equal d-value diagrams for mixed reflections ranging from 34.0 to 17.1 Å, from 8.5 to 7.2 Å, from 6.13 to 5.68 Å, and from 3.540 to 3.401 Å were constructed. Two examples of identifying natural kaolinite/smectite minerals using these diagrams are presented.
On the Origin of GEMS

GEMS (glass with embedded metal and sulfides) are a major component of anhydrous interplanetary dust particles (IDPs) their physical and chemical characteristics show marked similarities to contemporary interstellar dust. Recent oxygen isotopic measurements confirm that at least a small fraction (less than 5%) of GEMS are demonstrably presolar, while the remainder have ratios that are indistinguishable from solar values. GEMS with solar oxygen isotopic compositions either (1) had their isotopic compositions homogenized through processing in the interstellar medium (ISM), or (2) formed in the early solar system. Isotopic homogenization necessarily implies chemical homogenization, so (interstellar) GEMS compositions should reflect the average composition of dust in the local ISM. We performed a systematic examination of the bulk chemistry of GEMS in primitive IDPs in order to test this hypothesis.
Education and economic development: an empirical perspective

There is surprisingly little macroeconomic empirical research which would support a presumed link between education and development. I identify three major reasons why it remains difficult to estimate the economic relevance of education as a determinant of growth and development. First, most empirical research has ignored some of the crucial productivity aspects of education as proposed by new growth models. Second, measuring the contribution of education to economic development has largely ignored international differences in rates of return and the quality of education. Third, the allocation of resources within the education sector usually does not follow considerations of efficiency, which implies that additional spending on education cannot be expected to produce substantial output effects.
Network tourism : a fallacy of location privacy ! By Gonçalo

This contribution aims to discuss if “locational” privacy in tourism is a fallacy! Nevertheless, the authors inform that the reason for this debate is 21 century tourist distinctive characteristic, constantly “wired” through ICT, leading to serious ethical issues as regards to personal privacy. Therefore, this paper is divided into five core sections: background (tourist, and ICT for tourism and tourist); control (etymology, the thin bound concerning security, and control and personal data); privacy (the concept, evolution, and dimensions); empirical evidences (overview, crime scene investigation, and keen exhibits); and finally, discussion (act 1 and act 2).
Investigating National Football League (NFL) Fan Loyalty

The present study attempts to determine if a consumer’s consumption motivation and customer commitment influence the loyalty the consumer exhibits toward his or her favorite National Football League (NFL) Team. The present study utilizes survey responses from 302 NFL fans. A path model analysis using Amos 17 was performed to assess the hypothesized relationships. The results indicate that increasing an NFL fan’s social motivation to consume increases the fan’s customer commitment, and increasing an NFL fan’s customer commitment increases the fan’s attitudinal loyalty. Additionally, the results indicate that an NFL fan’s customer commitment influences his or her behavioral loyalty.
F0 declination and speech planning in face to face dialogues

In general, f0 decreases over the course of an utterance. This phenomenon is known as f0 declination and has been observed in a variety of languages. F0 declination is yet influenced by different factors such as the type of speech (e.g. read vs. spontaneous speech), the length of the utterance, and it cannot only be explained in terms of physiological mechanisms. This flexibility in f0 declination suggests that it could also depend on cognitive factors and vary in dialogue to signal the organization of turn-taking. In line with previous work, we analyzed f0 behavior in short face-to-face dialogues involving native female speakers of German. Our aim was to analyze the relationship between (1) f0 declination and utterances length as an indicator of anticipation of the upcoming utterance; (2) f0 values and declination according to the main events of dialogue (turn-taking, turn-continuation, turnending) to assess whether speaker-listener dyads could use f0 information to negotiate the turns. Our findings suggest that f0 slopes are shallower and less variable for long utterances than shorter ones. Negative f0 slopes are also more often observed than positive f0 slopes, but the direction of change depends on the communicative event. F0 onand offset values of the regression line defining the f0 slope are related to the direction of f0 changes (positive vs. negative) but not to the communicative event. Altogether, f0 declination is an indicator of the length of the upcoming sentence in dialogues and is to some degree used for the organization of turn taking.
Exploiting the Epibrassinolide as a plant growth promoter for augmenting the growth, physiological activities and alkaloids production in Catharanthus roseus L.

Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don is a medicinal plant that bears indole alkaloids used in cancer chemotherapy. The anti-cancer alkaloids, viz. vinblastine and vincristine, are mainly present in the leaves of C. roseus. Brassinolides, or Epibrassinolide (EBL) a sub-class of brassinosteroids, have demonstrated plant growth regulator (PGR)-like activity in different crops. A pot culture experiment was carried out to explore the effect of EBL on plant growth, physiological activities and production of total alkaloids in leaves, stems and roots in C. roseus at 6 and 9 months after planting (MAP). Five concentrations of EBL (10, 10, 10, 10 and 10 M) were applied on C. roseus. EBL 10 M significantly increased a number of growth, physiological and biochemical parameter at 6 and 9 MAP. The said concentration also increased leaf and root alkaloid content/ yield at both the stages. However, it was not significantly increased the stem alkaloids content/ yield.
