Subduction of pelagic sediments: implications for the origin of Ce-anomalous basalts from the Mariana Islands

Attempts to assess the significance of subducted sediments in the genesis of island arc magmas have been limited by the lack of trace element data on pelagic oozes. Accordingly, we have analysed a series of pelagic clays and nannofossil oozes from the Nazca Plate for REE and other trace elements. A calculated average––Pacific Authigenic Weighted Mean Sediment (PAWMS)––exhibits light REE-enrichment (Lan/Ybn∼4.5), high contents of Ba and Sr, but low abundances of Rb, Nb and Ta. Most significant, however, is the occurrence of large, negative Ce anomalies (Ce/Ce*~0.2). We have attempted to model the contribution of PAWMS-type material to the source of the magmas of the Mariana Island Arc, an intra-oceanic arc far removed from the effect of continent-derived detritus. Only small amounts of pelagic sediment, between 0.3 and 0.5% of the source, are required to develop the small negative Ce anomalies, high Ba/La ratios, and high LIL/HFS element ratios characteristic of these and other arc lavas. However, a small fluid contribution from the dehydrating subducted oceanic crust is required to produce the high Rb/Ba observed in several Mariana suites. The ternary mixing between sediment, mantle host and dehydrating oceanic crust also produces very low Nb and Ta abundances in the arc lava source. However, the very high abundance of Sr (>1000ppm) and the estimated high 87Sr/86Sr ratio (~0.7150) of PAWMS, results in a model 87Sr/86Sr ratio of 0.7070. This is far higher than the measured ratios in the Mariana arc lavas (0.7033–0.7040) and may suggest that the subducted sediment has a lower Sr content (<200 ppm) or a lower 87Sr/86Sr ratio, or that the carbonate-rich component is not involved in source contamination. Volumetrically it would appear that much of the sediment approaching the Mariana trench (~45 km3 Ma−1 per km of arc) may be recycled into the deeper mantle. This will have the effect of introducing high Ba, Sr, Th, 87Sr/86Sr, 208Pb/204Pb and 207Pb/204Pb material into the mantle. However, incorporation of such material cannot alone satisfactorily account for the trace element and isotope chemistry of ocean islands; oceanic sediments have LIL/Ta, Nb ratios far too high to produce the trace element characteristics of most intraplate magmas.
Service quality and consumer purchasing intention toward online ticketing: an empirical study in Iran

Abstrac t. This study gives a reports on e-service quality and consumer purchase intention toward online ticketing, in this research we tried to find out why some group of people have stick to traditional channel for their purchase and some other group prefer to use online channel as a tool of shopping. The outcome of this study demonstrated a comprehensively integrated framework that can utilize by the policy makers and business enterprises to understand significant relationships among dimensions of e-service quality, perceive of usability, perceived risk and internet knowledge. Also this research considered how price perception and online trust can be utilized to understand the consumer purchase intention toward online ticketing. In addition the other factor which has made our study sophisticated is e-service quality which has significant effect on consumer purchase intention behavior to have online purchase. However further research is needed to examine these factors in Iran with the additional samples before generalization can be made. Upon of that, it is also necessary to review consumer purchasing behavior in making decision to use internet as mean of purchasing online rather than the traditional way.
Framework for action on interprofessional education and collaborative practice

At a time when the world is facing a shortage of health workers, policymakers are looking for innovative strategies that can help them develop policy and programmes to bolster the global health workforce. The Framework for Action on Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice highlights the current status of interprofessional collaboration around the world, identifies the mechanisms that shape successful collaborative teamwork and outlines a series of action items that policy-makers can apply within their local health system. The goal of the Framework is to provide strategies and ideas that will help health policy-makers implement the elements of interprofessional education and collaborative practice that will be most beneficial in their own jurisdiction.
Primary Stenting for Acute Ischemic Stroke Using the Enterprise Intracranial Stent: 2-Year Results of a Phase-I Trial.

BACKGROUND The preliminary results of a prospective consecutive series of 20 patients who underwent Enterprise-assisted recanalization for acute ischemic stroke were recently reported. Recanalization to thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) grade 2 (n = 6) or 3 (n = 12) flow was achieved in 18 patients (90% revascularization rate). Good outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score of ≤2) was obtained in 10 patients (50%) at 30 days. Here, we report the 2-year clinical follow-up data for patients enrolled in that prospective study. METHODS Study patients were scheduled for examinations 2 years postprocedure at which time mRS and Barthel indices were obtained. RESULTS Among 12 survivors at 2 years, 11 of the 20 (55%) study patients improved to mRS score ≤2 and 1 (5%) patient was disabled with an mRS 4. Of the 11 patients with mRS 0-2 scores, 10 patients had a Barthel index of 100, and the 11th had a Barthel index of 95. One patient improved from mRS 3 to 2 during the interval between the 6- and 12-month postintervention evaluations after intervention. Eight of 13 (62%) survivors underwent follow-up imaging at 6 months without evidence of instent stenosis or thrombosis. CONCLUSION At 2 years of follow-up, improvement in quality of life after acute stroke intervention was sustained; and 11 of 12 (92%) survivors had an excellent functional outcome. Improvement in functional status can occur even up to 1 year after stroke intervention. These results 2 years after acute stroke intervention demonstrate sustained benefit from acute intervention.

Structure and conformation of helical nucleic acids: analysis program (SCHNAaP).

We present a new versatile program, SCHNAaP, for the analysis of double-helical nucleic acid structures. The program uses mathematically rigorous and fully reversible procedures for calculating the structural parameters: the Cambridge University Engineering Department Helix computation Scheme (CEHS) is used to determine the local helical parameters and an analogous procedure is used to determine the global helical parameters. These parameters form a complete set that conforms to the "Cambridge Accord" on definitions and nomenclature of nucleic acid structure parameters. In addition to the two standard Watson-Crick base-pairs, the program handles mismatched base-pairs and chemically modified bases. An analysis of the sugar-phosphate backbone conformation is included. Standardized base-stacking diagrams of each dinucleotide step with reference to the mid-step triad are generated. Structures are classified as one of the four polymorphic families, A/B, Z, W or R, although W- and R-DNA (two types of hypothetical structure) have yet to be observed experimentally.

Coral reef troubles in American Samoa

Coral reefs in American Samoa were severely damaged in recent years by natural disasters and pollution. The reefs were hit by a major infestation of the coraUivorous starfish Acanthaster phnci in the later 1970s, and by devastating hurricanes in 1990 and 1991. More recently, the reefs experienced a major coral bleaching episode in 1994, which affected up to 80 per cent of the coral at some locations. As a result, live coral coverage around Tutuila Island has dropped from about 60 per cent to 10 per cent within the past two decades.
Smelling like a market.

I REMEMBER SOME MARKETS AS WORLDLY CELEBRATIONS of labor and sociality, their busy exchanges and careful presentation of goods and crafts a feast of abundance, colors, and smells. One of my favorite markets in the United States is Philadelphia's Italian market, which combines the buzz of a major city with the intimate feel of certain regional markets in Latin America, where goods have to do with local production and uses. Of course, there are also less appealing markets, like some in the barrios of Latin American cities, where no effort can dispel a sense of disorder and lack, the stink of abjection. In some markets, one can "smell" fear: one has to be careful not to be robbed by either the vendors or the clients. Others communicate calm, like my local farmer's market, a place for socializing and shopping in an atmosphere of cordial and safe exchange. There are also markets, alien to me, like the New York Stock Exchange, defined by the high-energy movements of betting on the shifting risks of corporate values, transacted in anonymous exchanges. The chain supermarket where I shop, homogenizing and impersonal, also qualifies as a market, as do the West's new temples, the malls, those commodity shrines whose excess, social control, and rarefied air so quickly disorient my senses. The markets of socialist Cuba have an estranging atmosphere all their own, one that smells of desires and social divisions defined by the boundaries of the dollar's circulation. While ordinary stores carry but a limited array of inexpensive local goods sold for Cuban pesos, new supermarkets and malls offer diverse imported goods at inflated state-set prices for U.S. dollars. Markets not only have smells, they are also apparently able to smell. Advocates of the capitalist market tell us that it can smell a successful product, a crisis, or a consumer need. For those who imagine it as an invisible hand that turns selfish individual choices into harmonious collective ends, the market seems to operate as a hidden nervous system: it senses people's desires, monitors their private decisions, and directs their conduct toward the production and consumption of goods that satisfy ever more differentiated needs. For its critics, the capitalist market is an all-too-earthly invention, rather than a benevolent transcendent force, blind to human needs and aimlessly propelled by the short-sighted pursuit of filthy money. Clearly, markets vary immensely in their purposes, organization, state relations, and social norms. Given not only its widely varying historical forms and attributes but also the divergent theories directed at explaining it, is there such a thing as smelling like a market?
Estimation of beta-cell sensitivity from intravenous glucose tolerance test C-peptide data. Knowledge of the kinetics avoids errors in modeling the secretion.

Parametric models of insulin secretion are used to measure indexes of beta-cell function from plasma C-peptide concentration during an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT). Since the models have been usually assessed against plasma C-peptide data, both secretory and kinetic parameters need to be simultaneously estimated. However, undesired compensations between the two sets of parameters may arise. In this study, in order to evaluate IVGTT insulin secretion models, we have analyzed IVGTT data from seven normal subjects for whom individual C-peptide kinetics were known from a separate experiment. Three different beta-cell models have been examined: the minimal model M1 (Diabetes 37:223-231, 1988); a variation of a published model, M2 (Math Biosci 27:319-332, 1975); and a new one, M3. A two-compartment model was used to describe C-peptide kinetics. The results suggest the inadequacy of M1 since kinetic parameter estimates were consistently biased versus the known individual values, and systematic errors were present in the prediction of C-peptide data when kinetic parameters were fixed to the known individual values. M2 performs better than M1 since it reproduces C-peptide data satisfactorily when the individually known description of the kinetics is adopted. M3 retains the second-phase description of M2 but improves the description of first-phase release. M3 is thus proposed to reconstruct the insulin secretion time course and to estimate parameters of first- and second-phase sensitivity to glucose. We also show the robustness of M3, i.e., standard values of C-peptide kinetic parameters can be used when individual values are not available without a loss of accuracy in the estimated secretion parameters. Finally, the shortcomings of using a simplified single-compartment description of C-peptide kinetics are discussed.

POTENCIAL DE PRODUÇÃO DE GÁS METANO E DIÓXIDO DE CARBONO IN VITRO DOS INGREDIENTES UTILIZADOS EM DIETAS PARA OVINOS

This study aimed to evaluate the potential of CH 4 and CO 2 in vitro production of soybean hulls, sunflower meal, corn, citrus pulp and corn silage. Four rumen-cannulated sheep were fed diets containing the evaluated ingredients at 40:60 forage:concentrate ratio. The gases produced by samples incubation were measured by injection into a gas chromatograph equipped with flame ionization detector. The experimental design was completely randomized with repeated measures, with three replicates for each evaluated food at four different periods. Under the experimental conditions, we verified different potential gas production among the ingredients. The citrus pulp meal was the ingredient with the greatest potential for CO 2 production. Corn silage and soybean hulls showed the greatest potential while citrus pulp and sunflower meal showed the least potential for CH 4 production, when expressed in mL/g of degraded dry matter; therefore, they can be considered, among the evaluated ingredients, those with the lowest environmental impact. KEYWORDS: CH 4 ; CO 2 ; degradation; feed; ruminant.
A Climatological Interpretation of the Circulation in the Western South Pacific

Abstract Time-averaged circulation is examined using historical hydrographic data near the Australia and Papua New Guinea coast in the Pacific. By averaging the data along isopycnal surfaces in a 0.5° × 0.5° grid, the authors are able to show many detailed phenomena associated with the narrow western boundary currents, including the vertical structure of the bifurcation latitude of the South Equatorial Current (SEC) and the connection between the Solomon and Coral Seas. The bifurcation latitude of the SEC is found to move southward from about 15°S near the surface to south of 22°S in the intermediate layers. The origin of the Great Barrier Reef Undercurrent (GBRUC) is identified to be at about 22°S. Farther to the north, the GBRUC intensifies underlying the surface East Australian Current, and merges with the North Queensland Current (NQC) at about 15°S. The NQC turns eastward to flow along the Papua New Guinea coast and feeds into the New Guinea Coastal Undercurrent (NGCUC) through the Louisiade Archipel.
DSSim - Managing Uncertainty on the Semantic Web

A detector in which a barrier region is interposed in the current path between the emitter and collector of the detector. This region is of a material having a valence band edge approximately level to that of the emitter material and an appreciably wider band gap. It thus serves to impede majority carrier current flow and as a consequence device resistance is high. When the detector is biased, the pedestal contribution to detector signal is low. The collector may be of semiconductor material of the same majority carried type as the emitter material; or may be of opposite type but dopant enriched; or it may be a Schottky metal contact. In one variant of the detector, the emitter and collector are located on opposite sides of the barrier and are of different bandgap materials. The infra red band response of this detector can be changed by reversing bias polarity. In another variant of the detector the emitter is in strip form and has a pair of bias contacts. The barrier and collector are located on the strip at a position between these contacts and provide a high resistance read-out structure. In one further variant of the detector the emitter, the collector, together with additional emitter-collector regions, are formed from a single layer of photosensitive material on one side of the barrier and provide a high resistance, series connected, multi-element structure.
An Assessment of Various Synthetic Indices in a Transitional Old-Growth Forest

Foley Woods is a 120-acre forest stand occupying a till plain depression near the prairie border in east-central Illinois. Thirty- nine species reach tree size with sugar maple, red oak, bur oak, white oak, shellbark hickory, white and green ash and American basswood being the major species. Moderate selective cutting has permitted sugar maple, elm and basswood to increase greatly in the smaller size classes. High densities of small trees of these species result in importance values disproportionately higher than their actual contribution to stand dominance. To evaluate this disparity, a 10% sample of the south 80 acres was tallied by recording all trees over 2 inches diam breast height, in 40 0.20-acre line-strips and by determining line-intercept crown cover of each plot. Various synthetic indices were compared to relative cover to determine which integrating expressions best estimate the contribution of each species to total stand dominance. A Density-Double Dominance Index, in which relative density plus relative basal area weighted twice
Reservoir Management Techniques to Enhance Biological Productivity and Protect Water Quality

Three reservoirs of similar size, watershed land use, and qualitative characteristics in northwest Arkansas, USA were selected to compare the effects of chemical fertilization and pulsed artificial-upwelling on whole-lake productivity, specifically primary production and phytoplankton biomass. Numerous water quality parameters were quantified over a two year period (2011-13) with the goal of understanding how each management technique would stimulate productivity. This experiment was the first step towards a larger goal to ultimately enhance sport fish production. The first year of monitoring occurred in 2011 and served as a control year for the three lakes. Treatments were initiated in two of the lakes (Lakes Rayburn and Norwood) in the second year, as one lake (Lake Brittany) remained a control. Due to difficulty in scaling and manipulation cost, small-scale microcosms experiments were used in 2012 directly prior to each whole-lake experiment. Microcosm experiments were used to derive appropriate whole-lake fertilization rates and make predictions for whole-lake responses to nutrient additions. Both microcosm and whole-lake phytoplankton responses varied seasonally with water temperature and initial dissolved nutrient concentrations. Few interannual effects from whole-lake manipulation were observed in the treatment lakes due to the ‘pulse’ nature of nutrient additions. However, the short-term data revealed increased concentrations of total phosphorus (TP), total dissolved P (TDP), chlorophyll a (chl a), and <80 μm chl a in Lake Rayburn and, in Lake Norwood, total dissolved nitrogen (TDN), TP, TDP, chl a, and < 80 μm chl a concentrations were elevated. Few whole-ecosystem aquatic studies have been conducted in the manner of this experiment. Preliminary results from these data suggest that periodically pulsed nutrient additions can result in short-term increases in biological productivity without affecting interannual water quality patterns.
