Density, temperature, and composition of the North American lithosphere—New insights from a joint analysis of seismic, gravity, and mineral physics data: 1. Density structure of the crust and upper mantle

We introduce a new method to construct integrated 3‐D models of density, temperature, and compositional variations of the crust and upper mantle based on a combined analysis of gravity, seismic, and tomography data with mineral physics constraints. The new technique is applied to North America. In the first stage, we remove the effect of the crust from the observed gravity field and topography, using a new crustal model (NACr2014). In the second step, the residual mantle gravity field and residual topography are inverted to obtain a 3‐D density model of the upper mantle. The inversion technique accounts for the notion that these fields are controlled by the same factors but in a different way, e.g., depending on depth and horizontal dimension. This enables us to locate the position of principal density anomalies in the upper mantle. Afterward, we estimate the thermal contribution to the density structure by inverting two tomography models for temperature (NA07 and SL2013sv), assuming a laterally and vertically uniform “fertile” mantle composition. Both models show the cold internal part and the hot western margin of the continent, while in some Proterozoic regions (e.g., Grenville province) NA07 at a depth of 100 km is >200°C colder than SL2013sv. After removing this effect from the total mantle anomalies, the residual “compositional” fields are obtained. Some features of the composition density distribution, which are invisible in the seismic tomography data, are detected for the first time in the upper mantle. These results serve as a basis for the second part of the study, in which we improve the thermal and compositional models by applying an iterative approach to account for the effect of composition on the thermal model.

Evaluation of the nutritional state of young plants of Eucalyptus globulus by foliar and spectroradiometric analysis.

The nutritional state of young plants of Eucalyptus globulus was evaluated, in different scenarios of harvest residues management and nutrient availability, by foliar (N, Ca, Mg, P and K contents and leaf area, chlorophyll and carotenoids contents) and spectroradiometric analysis (SPAD-502 chlorophyll meter). Treatments were removal of harvest residues (R); as R and ferREVISTA DE CIÊNCIAS AGRÁRIAS 14 tilizer application (RF); as R and legume seeding (RL); distribution of harvest residues on the soil surface (S); as S and fertilizer application (SF); incorporation of harvest residues into the soil by harrowing (I); as I and fertilizer application (IF); as I and leguminous seeding (IL). Trees of treatment I showed greater growth than those of R and S treatments; the application of fertilizers increased the growth only in treatments where harvest residues were kept in the site (SF and IF). Initially, N contents were positively affected by the leguminous (treatments RL and IL), but, after fertilizer application, the highest N contents were observed in treatments IF, RF and SF compared with the others, the differences being reduced in the next autumn season; a similar trend was observed for values of SPAD. In contrast, contents of Ca and Mg strongly decreased in treatments where fertilizers were applied. SPAD values were correlated (P<0.05) with N, Ca and Mg contents, as well as with specific leaf area. The spectroradiometric technique, since properly calibrated, could be an alternative method to monitor the nutritional state of young plants of E. globulus.
An Improved Circuit of Super Source Follower Based on gm-boosting Technology

An improved circuit of super source follower (SSF) based on gm-boosting technology is proposed in this paper. The traditional SSF circuit is used to reduce the output impedance of the source follower, to provide stronger load capacity as the output stage of the whole circuit, or to push the non-dominant poles in the multi-stage amplifier circuit to a higher frequency position. In the paper, based on the above SSF circuit, an operational amplifier is connected in parallel between the gate and drain of the Nmos as the feedback loop, which takes the drain as the positive input and the gate as the output to form the gm-boosting structure. The advantage of this structure is to further reduce the output resistance through the voltage-voltage feedback characteristics of the gm-boosting structure. Because two loops are formed after adding the structure, as long as the open-loop gain of the operational amplifier is high enough, the loop formed by the operational amplifier will occupy a dominant position, thus shielding the influence of the source follower on the overall output resistance. The output resistance can change with the operational amplifier gain. The simulation results show that the output impedance of the circuit is only about 92 Ω, which is much lower than 1 kΩ of SSF structure.

First palynological results from Site 658 at 21°N off Northwest Africa: Pollen as climate indicators. In Ruddiman, W., Sarnthein, M. et al.

Ocean Drilling Program Site 658 at 21°N off northwest Africa has a high sedimentation rate and a high concentration of pollen grains and is thus very suitable for detailed pollen analysis. The time scale for the upper 100 m (the last 670 k.y.) of Site 658 is based on biostratigraphic data and isotope stratigraphy. The pollen record has been divided into 34 zones. These are classified into 7 zone types covering a range from very arid to rather humid conditions. The sequence shows a long-term climatic decline: strong glacial stages were found only after 480 k.y. and strong interglacial stages only before 280 k.y. The Site 658 record correlates well with a terrestrial sequence from northern Greece, although both records differ in their response to global climatic change. Spectral analysis shows a 100and a 42-k.y. period in the curves of pollen brought in by the northwest trade winds and only a 42-k.y. period in the curves of pollen mostly transported by the African Easterly Jet. A 31-k.y. period is found in the curves for Ephedra and Chenopodiaceae-Amaranthaceae. In addition, Ephedra shows a 54-k.y. period.

MEDITERRANEAN VEGETATION IN CALIFORNIA AND ISRAEL: SIMILARITIES AND DIFFERENCES

ABSTRACT Major Mediterranean vegetation types of California and Israel were compared. These included woodland, matorral, phrygana, montane belts, riparian, and ecotones with the desert. Major differences in life form spectra, physiognomy, species richness, fire adaptations, leaf traits, the altitudinal sequence of montane belts and floras were summarized. In some cases it was possible to speculate that differences in the above traits are correlated with differences in climate, soil, fire frequency and human history. The matorral (chaparral, maquis) was emphasized. In comparison to Israel, California matorral is shorter in stature, has a more complete canopy closure, is richer in woody taxa and poorer in herbaceous taxa, has fewer deciduous elements, exhibits more specialized adaptations to fue, is under-represented in retamoid species and has a more spinescent overstorey but a less spinescent understorey of associated chamaephytes and hemi-cryptophytes. In California, the matorral continues through the mo.
Coseismic gravity changes of the 2011 Tohoku‐Oki earthquake from satellite gravimetry

The massive Tohoku‐Oki earthquake of a moment magnitude (Mw) of 9.0 occurred on 11 March, 2011 off the Pacific coast of the Northeastern Japan. The mass redistribution in and around the focal region associated with this earthquake was studied using the gravity changes detected by Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite. After the 2004 Sumatra‐Andaman and the 2010 Central Chile (Maule) earthquakes, the present study presents the third case of clear detection of coseismic gravity changes by GRACE. The observed gravity changes were dominated by decrease over the back‐arc region of ∼7 μGal or less. This reflects, to a large extent, coseismic crustal dilatation of the landward plate. They agree well with the changes calculated with the Green's function for the realistic earth using fault parameters inferred from coseismic crustal movements. The spatial patterns of the gravity changes of these earthquakes are very similar because they are all shallow angle reverse faulting at convergent plate boundaries. We found linear relationship between gravity decreases and seismic moments.
Rapid detection of diabetic retinopathy in retinal images: a new approach using transfer learning and synthetic minority over-sampling technique

The challenge of early detection of diabetic retinopathy (DR), a leading cause of vision loss in working-age individuals in developed nations, was addressed in this study. Current manual analysis of digital color fundus photographs by clinicians, although thorough, suffers from slow result turnaround, delaying necessary treatment. To expedite detection and improve treatment timeliness, a novel automated detection system for DR was developed. This system utilized convolutional neural networks. Visual geometry group 16-layer network (VGG16), a pre-trained deep learning model, for feature extraction from retinal images and the synthetic minority over-sampling technique (SMOTE) to handle class imbalance in the dataset. The system was designed to classify images into five categories: normal, mild DR, moderate DR, severe DR, and proliferative DR (PDR). Assessment of the system using the Kaggle diabetic retinopathy dataset resulted in a promising 93.94% accuracy during the training phase and 88.19% during validation. These results highlight the system's potential to enhance DR diagnosis speed and efficiency, leading to improved patient outcomes. The study concluded that automation and artificial intelligence (AI) could play a significant role in timely and efficient disease detection and management.
New Solid Forms of Griseofulvin: A Solvate and a Relict Polymorph Related to Reported Solvates

This work presents two new solid forms, a polymorph and a solvate, of the antifungal active pharmaceutical ingredient griseofulvin (GSF). The novel forms were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis, and their crystal structures were determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The new polymorphic form (GSF Form VI) was obtained upon drying at room temperature the GSF-acetonitrile solvate. GSF Form VI is a relict structure related to reported solvates of GSF. Thermal stability studies show that Form VI is metastable and monotropically related to the stable GSF Form I. The new GSF-n-butyl acetate solvate was obtained by crystallization from an n-butyl acetate solution. The stoichiometry of the n-butyl acetate solvate is 1:0.5. The solvate loses the solvent from the crystal lattice at a temperature between 363.15 and 374.15 K.
Facies architecture of individual basin‐plain turbidites: Comparison with existing models and implications for flow processes

Current understanding of submarine sediment density flows is based heavily on their deposits, because such flows are notoriously difficult to monitor directly. However, it is rarely possible to trace the facies architecture of individual deposits over significant distances. Instead, bed‐scale facies models that infer the architecture of ‘typical’ deposits encapsulate current understanding of depositional processes and flow evolution. In this study, the distribution of facies in 12 individual beds has been documented along downstream transects over distances in excess of 100 km. These deposits were emplaced in relatively flat basin‐plain settings in the Miocene Marnoso Arenacea Formation, north‐east Italy and the late Quaternary Agadir Basin, offshore Morocco. Statistical analysis shows that the most common series of vertical facies transitions broadly resembles established facies models. However, mapping of individual beds shows that they commonly deviate from generalized models in several important ways that include: (i) the abundance of parallel laminated sand, suggesting deposition of this facies from both high‐density and low‐density turbidity current; (ii) three distinctly different types of grain‐size break, suggesting waxing flow, erosional hiatuses and bypass of silty sediment; (iii) the presence of mud‐rich debrites demonstrating hybrid flow deposition; and (iv) dune‐scale cross‐lamination in fine‐medium grained sandstones. Submarine sediment density flows in basin‐plain settings flow over relatively simple topography. Yet, their deposits record complex flow events, involving transformation between different flow types, rather than the simple waning surges often associated with the distal parts of turbidite systems.
Investigation of the Ventilation Rate around Different Urban Morphological Property Types: High Rise -Vs- Low Rise in Bangkok’s High Density Areas

As a consequence of city development and increased urbanization, Bangkok, the capital of Thailand, has experienced serious air pollution problems in high density areas over the past several decades, especially at pedestrian-level (at 1.5 meter level above ground) between groups of buildings in the city’s central block. As we all know that urban settings have a direct impact on the urban air flow. Lack of research because urban morphology (Greek morphe : shape) is too complicated to do air flow simulation. The objective of this study is to find the relationship between urban high-rise and low-rise morphology properties and urban air ventilation in high density areas of Inner Bangkok. The methodology involves an investigation using computer fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The results based on air change rate.

A (NiMnCo)-Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) as active material for Lithium-ion battery electrodes

A (NiMnCo)-Metal-Organic Framework and its oxidized and pyrolysed derivatives have been tested as electrode materials for lithium-ion batteries. Materials have been fully characterized by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), powder X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Thermogravimetric Analyses (TGA), Infrared (IR) spectroscopy and electrochemical properties have been determined in coin cells using lithium metal as the counter electrode. Studies have revealed specific capacities of 860 mAh g−1 and 800 mAh g−1 at 15 mA g−1 respectively for the MOF and the oxide (690 and 190 mAh g−1 after 50 cycles) whereas the corresponding pyrolysed compound has shown limited electrochemical performances. Ex situ XRD has been performed to highlight the evolution of the material structure during cycling. These results show that electrochemical storage is based on a conversion reaction.
Testing E-OBS European high-resolution gridded data set of daily precipitation and surface temperature

Gridded data sets derived through interpolation of station data have a number of potential inaccuracies and errors. These errors can be introduced either by the propagation of errors in the station data into derived gridded data or by limitations in the ability of the interpolation method to estimate grid values from the underlying station network. Recently, Haylock et al. (2008) reported on the development of a new high-resolution gridded data set of daily climate over Europe (termed E-OBS). E-OBS is based on the largest available pan-European data set, and the interpolation methods used were chosen after careful evaluation of a number of alternatives, yet the data set will inevitably have errors and uncertainties. In this paper we assess the E-OBS data set with respect to: (1) homogeneity of the gridded data; (2) evaluation of inaccuracies arising from available network density, through comparison with existing data sets that have been developed with much denser station networks; and (3) the accuracy of the estimates of interpolation uncertainty that are provided as part of E-OBS. We find many inhomogeneities in the gridded data that are primarily caused by inhomogeneities in the underlying station data. In the comparison of existing data with E-OBS, we find that while correlations overall are high, relative differences in precipitation are large, and usually biased toward lower values in E-OBS. From the analysis of the interpolation uncertainties provided as part of E-OBS, we conclude that the interpolation standard deviation provided with the data significantly underestimates the true interpolation error when cross validated using station data, and therefore will similarly underestimate the interpolation error in the gridded E-OBS data. While E-OBS represents a valuable new resource for climate research in Europe, users of the data need to be aware of the limitations in the data set and use the data appropriately.
