Petrogenesis of the 2115 Ma Haicheng mafic sills from the Eastern North China Craton: Implications for an intra-continental rifting

Abstract The Rhyacian (2300–2050 Ma) is a special era of the Paleoproterozoic represented by large layered intrusions in many cratons. It is well known that there are widespread igneous events at ~ 2100 Ma in the Eastern North China Craton; however, their tectonic environments are under debate: whether they were related to an intra-continental rifting or an arc/back-arc setting along a continental margin. These ~ 2100 Ma igneous events comprise several mafic dykes/sills, with some coeval A-type granites and volcanic events in several rifts; among them, the Haicheng mafic sills in the Liaohe rift are unique as their host rock, the Liaohe Group, bears the world's largest magnesium deposit. Most of the mafic sills are E-W-elongated at present coordinates. Exclusive of superimposition caused by deformation, the widths of the individuals are tens to hundreds of meters and the lengths are hundreds to thousands of meters. They have metamorphosed to an assemblage of plagioclase and hornblende, with minor quartz and accessory chlorite, epidote, apatite, ilmenite, and magnetite. However, relic gabbro and ophitic textures with mainly plagioclase and clinopyroxene are well-preserved. SIMS Pb–Pb dating on baddeleyites from one ~ 1000 m thick sill near Xialiulinzi village yields an average 207 Pb/ 206 Pb age of 2115 ± 3 Ma (n = 15, MSWD = 2.3), representing the timing of crystallization. SIMS U–Pb dating on zircon yields a similar forming age. They are tholeiitic in composition (MgO: 4.36–8.88 wt.%; SiO 2 : 45.76–53.39 wt.%), enriched in light rare earth elements ((La/Yb) N  = 1.72–4.37) and large ion lithophile elements (i.e., Cs, Rb, Sr, and K) but depleted in high field strength elements (i.e., Nb, Ta, and Ti). These features were unlikely caused by crustal contamination during their emplacement, as there are little variations in Nb/La and Th/Nb. The rocks have experienced significant plagioclase-plus clinopyroxene-dominating fractional crystallization. Their enriched Sr–Nd isotope characteristics ( 87 Sr/ 86 Sr t  = 0.703 ~ 0.705, eNd t  = − 1.9 ~ 0.6) and trace element patterns indicate that their source(s) could be the ancient subcontinental lithospheric mantle; and this source is similar to those coeval sills from other parts of the craton. Their arc-like trace element features could be inherited from their source regions formed via a subduction process at the late Archean rather than at the middle-late Paleoproterozoic. These sill swarms, throughout the craton, might have developed in an integrated intra-continental rift system at ~ 2100 Ma.
The effect of mesh orientation on netting drag and its application to innovative prawn trawl design

© 2014 . Prawn fisheries around the world comprise fuel intensive enterprises currently stressed financially by rising diesel costs. An avenue for relieving the situation is to improve the energy efficiency of trawling by raising the productivity of fishing per litre of fuel consumed. This paper presents work to develop a new prawn trawl design that leads to reduced trawl system drag. The trawl has a 'double-tongue' format, which refers to extensions forward of the upper and lower panels to form two additional towing points for the trawl. For this design concept, named 'W' trawl, drag generated in the trawl is largely directed to the centreline tongues and transferred forward to the trawler through a connected sled and towing wire. The associated reduction of drag-transfer to the wings makes the trawl substantially easier to spread and results in smaller otter boards being required and subsequently reduced overall drag of the trawl system. The study determined the effect on frame-line tensions of implementing T0 (diamond) and T45 (square) mesh in the main body and side sections of trawl models of conventional and 'W' configuration, with the aim to establish an optimal combination of mesh orientation for the principle parts of the 'W' trawl. The objective was to achieve minimum netting drag and beneficial strain transfer within the trawl such that maximum trawling performance (catch per unit of fuel) might be obtained in the field. T45 mesh in the side sections of the trawl was found to exhibit a progressively lower drag compared to T0 mesh as the flow speed increased, but the extent of drag reduction was not of practical significance. The 'W' trawl showed a capacity of redirecting 59% of the total netting drag to the centre line tongues when T45 netting was implemented in the body section, and only 40% when T0 orientation was used. However, the introduction of bracing ropes (at E=. 0.71) along the upper and lower centrelines of the T0 version of the W trawl improved the drag transfer to the tongues from 40% to 50% of the total drag. Overall, the most practical and economic configuration of the model 'W' designs tested produced an estimated drag reduction of 8.3%. ±. 0.6%, compared to the conventional trawl. It is expected that drag saving benefits in practice will be more substantial as the tested trawl models were not completely representative of practical commercial gear in that they had minimum twine area to make the experiment most sensitive to the drag-effect of mesh orientation.
Population aging and comparative advantage

Abstract In this paper we show that demographic differences between countries are a source of comparative advantage in international trade. Since many skills are age-dependent, population aging decreases the relative supply and increases the relative price of skills which depreciate with age. Thus, industries relying on skills in which younger workers are relatively more efficient will be more productive in countries with a younger labor force and less productive in countries with an older population. Building upon the neuroscience and economics literature, we construct industry-level measures of intensities in various age-dependent skills and show that population aging leads to specialization in industries which use age-appreciating skills intensively and erodes comparative advantage in industries for which age-depreciating skills are more important.
Sharing experiences and developing joint tools in order to increase the participation of the YOUTH ADRIatic population in the civil society and create a NETwork

YOUTH ADRINET project intends to promote actions finalized to the increase of the European identity and the active participation in the social life of young people in the multi-cultural and multi-ethnical framework of the Adriatic area. In the last decades the young population has progressively lost confidence in the existing decision-making system and has showed a growing lack of interest in the traditional forms of participation in the associative public life; since young people represent the future European ruling class, it is necessary to set up with them new strategies that will foster their commitment in the public life and more particularly in the life of the European society. Starting from the analyses and suggestions coming from several documents and communications on Youth Policies drawn by the European Commission and already taken in by some national and local entities involved in the project, YOUTH ADRINET proposes to foster the mutual acquaintance, the development of joined methodologies and the setting up of new job opportunities in a vast area context, in order to increase the youth active participation in the public life. The project main goals are thus the setting up in the Adriatic basin area of: institutional cooperation actions among political actors in charge for the management of Youth Policies; a model where the principle of an active citizenship for young people finds the right place where to develop and where some concrete actions of social integration can take place; an advanced methodological approach that includes both a local and a transnational dimension; a professional couching and training process focused on the creation of new possibilities for the employment of the young. The milestones of the project are: the analysis of the existing laws and policies addressed to young people in the
Energy use for adaptation

ENERGYA will improve our understanding of how energy and energy services can be used by households and industries to adapt to the risk posed by climate change. Specifically, the project will develop an interdisciplinary and scalable research framework integrating data and methods from economics with geography, climate science, and integrated assessment modelling to provide new knowledge concerning heterogeneity in energy use across countries, sectors, socioeconomic conditions and income groups, and assess the broad implications adaptation-driven energy use can have on the economy, the environment, and welfare.
The key novelty of ENERGYA is to link energy statistics and energy survey data with high spatial resolution data from climate science and remote sensing, including high-resolution spatial data on meteorology, population and economic activity distribution, electrification, and the built environment.
ENERGYA has three main objectives. First, it will produce novel statistical and econometric analyses for OECD and major emerging countries (Brazil, Mexico, India, and Indonesia) to shed light on the underlying mechanisms driving energy use. Second, it will infer future potential impacts from long-run climate and socioeconomic changes building on historical empirical evidence. Third, it will analyse the macro and distributional implications of adaptation-driven energy use with an economy-energy model characterising the distribution of energy use dynamics across and within countries.
Given the central role of energy as multiplier for socioeconomic development and as enabling condition for climate resilience, the research proposed in ENERGYA will result in timely insights for the transition towards sustainability described by the Sustainable Development Goals adopted by the United Nations as well as the Paris International Climate Agreement.
Osteoarthritis Year in Review 2014: we need more biochemical biomarkers in qualification phase

The current diagnosis of osteoarthritis (OA) relies on the description of pain symptoms, affected joint stiffness, and radiography used as the reference technique for determining the grade of joint destruction. Limitations of the presently available diagnostic tests have provided an impetus for the substantial increase in interest in finding new specific biological markers for cartilage degradation to facilitate the early diagnosis of joint destruction, evaluate disease progression and improve disease prognosis. Biomarkers for OA are also useful for drug development, treatment monitoring, and as a basis for personalized evidence-based action plans. This review summarizes 29 manuscripts published during 2013 with a focus on soluble biochemical biomarkers, primarily those utilizing proteomic, metabolomics, lipidomic and imaging mass spectrometry technologies.

INNOCITÉ - HOW TO IMPROVE COMPETITIVENESS OF SMALL-MEDIUM CITIES UNDER THE INFLUENCE OF ALPINE GREAT URBAN CENTRES.

In the Alpine Space, metropolisation has given birth to changes in the urban system and in the urban-rural relationships: the dichotomy between small settlements of alpine towns/villages/hamlets which are influenced by important Metropolitan Growth Areas (e.g. Lyon, Milan, Munich, Vienna, Trieste and other big towns) can be solved through the challenging role played by high-potential small and medium-sized Alpine cities and by the catching and attracting areas around them
InnoCité proposes itself as an empowering tool-kit for key players (politics, local & regional authorities, urban planning agencies, Chambers of Commerce, Craft Chambers, SMEs, Trade Office and Tourist information...) which desire to find a complementary positioning towards big Alpine cities and their surrounding rural areas. InnoCité will run 7 pilot cases in order to compare practises & results in the various experimentation areas to make it possible to develop an exemplary Alpine Space approach as regards the positioning of a metropolitan peripheral town-centre
On Handling the Relations of Rights and Interests among Regions

With the development of market economy,the relations of rights and interests among regions have become an increasingly complicated network and have played an important role in the national structural system.The conflicts of power,rights,interests and judicial disputes among different regions have increasingly become widespread.The scope of the relations has been broadened to a multi-level and multi-dimensional relations of rights and interests among different entities including longitudinally central and local,upper-and lower-level regions,and horizontally parallel regions and cross regions.It is necessary to establish and implement the following principles and safeguarding mechanisms to deal with the relations of the rights and interests among regions.Regions are the representatives of the rights and interests.The allocation of rights and interests among the regions should be appropriate.Regions should pay attention to the overall interests,and should help and accommodate each other.The relations should be normalized and legalized.The trans-administrational jurisdiction system should be established.
Effect of Sea Level Rise and Groundwater Withdrawal on Seawater Intrusion in the Gulf Coast Aquifer: Implications for Agriculture

The two main factors contributing to depletion of freshwater resources are climate change and anthropological variables. This study presents statistical analyses that are local in its specifics yet global in its relevance. The decline in Gulf Coast aquifer water quality and quantity has been alarming especially with the increased demand on fresh water in neighboring non-coastal communities. This study used seawater levels, groundwater use, and well data to investigate the association of these factors on the salinity of water indicated by chloride levels. Statistical analyses were conducted pointing to the high significance of both sea water level and groundwater withdrawals to chloride concentrations. However, groundwater withdrawal had higher significance which points to the need of water management systems in order to limit groundwater use. The findings also point to the great impact of increased groundwater salinity in the Gulf Coast aquifer on agriculture and socioeconomic status of coastal communities. The high costs of desalinization point to the increased signification of water rerouting and groundwater management systems. Further investigation and actions are in dire need to manage these vulnerabilities of the coastal communities.

Addressing the Influencing Factors for Interoperability in a Global Domain

Achieving interoperability in global context is difficult. Although the benefits of enabling systems to interoperate globally are significant, repeated failures to build working systems provide evidence that the tasks necessary to gain those benefits are poorly understood. Many organizations have addressed interoperability as primarily a technical issue (2). However, to address the entirety of the interoperability challenge, development teams must also consider nontechnical factors that influence their efforts to meet interoperability goals. This report describes a proposed model through which one can understand interoperability in global context. With this model, system developers should characterize interoperability in six dimensions: Developers need to analyze interoperability requirements at the technical, semantic, and organizational levels, but they should also consider the legal, political, and socio-cultural issues with the system must also interoperate (5). This paper explains some of the challenges associated with achieving interoperability in systems and presents some guidance on how to address interoperability requirements, with the goal of making both policy makers and system developers aware of the depth and breadth of enabling interoperability to provide many benefits, including improved efficiency, transparency, accountability, and access, as well as coordination of services at lower costs . However, repeated failures to build working systems show that the task is not only difficult but also poorly understood. This report describes a proposed model for understanding interoperability in e-governance system context. With this model, system developers should characterize interoperability in six dimensions: technical, semantic, and organizational, as well as legal, political, and socio-cultural. This report also presents guidance on how to address interoperability requirements and describes challenges that policy makers and system developers face in achieving systems interoperability.
Leveraging the antioxidant role of volatile isoprenoids for improving grapevine resistance to ozone and temperature stress

The first aim of the project is to prove a general mechanism for plant protection from abiotic stresses (such as temperature and ozone stress) exerted by volatile isoprenoids (VIPs). Recent studies advanced the hypothesis that VIPs may function as effective antioxidants in plants by directly reacting with reactive oxygen species (ROS) that accumulate upon abiotic stress, producing oxidized VIPs. However, this mechanism is yet to be confirmed. During the outgoing phase (Harvard University, Cambridge MA, USA) the objective described above will be addressed via a comprehensive experimental approach that will be carried out on the model plant Arabidopsis (wild-type and isoprene-emitting transgenic Arabidopsis), on a plant species (Quercus rubra) that emits very large quantities of VIPs and on grapevine, a crop of outmost importance in the European economy. During the return phase (FEM, Trento, Italy) the multidisciplinary expertise gained in the outgoing period will be fully employed to study the grapevine germplasm owned by the return institution and new grapevine varieties selected or genetically modified for the emission of specific VIPs, which have recently been developed by a partner research group, in collaboration with the applicant. The final objectives of the project are 1) to prove that VIPs act as effective antioxidant on grapevine leading to an improved ozone stress resistance and 2) to integrate screening for VIP emission in the host institution grapevine breeding program in order to improve stress resistance of new grapevine varieties.
Queer(y)ing and recrafting agency: moving away from a model of coercion versus escape

This paper applies a Butlerian-inspired ‘queer(y)ing’ methodology to disrupt the utility of agency being framed within the binary of escape and coercion. In particular, it uses Butler's concept of performative resignification to analyse how Simon, a 16-year-old white male student, maneouvres his way through the social conventions of senior subject selection at his secondary school which is located in an outer-metropolitan suburb of Queensland in Australia. Queer theory is often caught up in a habit of thinking that positions it predominantly within the field of gender and sexualities research, thus limiting and constraining what it can do and where it can be used. By using a queer(y)ing methodology to explore senior schooling subject selection and participation, this paper also disrupts and expands the parameters of association with queer theory.
