Long‐Period Ground Motions from Past and Virtual Megathrust Earthquakes along the Nankai Trough, Japan
Authors: Viens Loïc , Denolle Marine A. 
Published: August 2019

Abstract
Long‐period ground motions from large (Mw≥7.0) subduction‐zone earthquakes are a real threat for large‐scale human‐made structures. The Nankai subduction zone, Japan, is expected to host a major megathrust earthquake in the near future and has therefore been instrumented with offshore and onshore permanent seismic networks. We use the ambient seismic field continuously recorded at these stations to simulate the long‐period (4–10 s) ground motions from past and future potential offshore earthquakes. First, we compute impulse response functions (IRFs) between an ocean‐bottom seismometer of the Dense Oceanfloor Network System for Earthquakes and Tsunamis (DONET) network, which is located offshore on the accretionary wedge, and 60 onshore Hi‐net stations using seismic interferometry by deconvolution. As this technique only preserves the relative amplitude information of the IRFs, we use a moderate Mw 5.5 event to calibrate the amplitudes to absolute levels. After calibration, the IRFs are used together with a uniform stress‐drop source model to simulate the long‐period ground motions of the 2004 Mw 7.2 intraplate earthquake. For both events, the residuals of the 5% damped spectral acceleration (SA) computed from the horizontal and vertical components of the observed and simulated waveforms exhibit almost no bias and acceptable uncertainties. We also compare the observed SA values of the Mw 7.2 event to those from the subduction‐zone BC Hydro ground‐motion model (GMM) and find that our simulations perform better than the model. Finally, we simulate the long‐period ground motions of a hypothetical Mw 8.0 subduction earthquake that could occur along the Nankai trough. For this event, our simulations generally exhibit stronger long‐period ground motions than those predicted by the BC Hydro GMM. This study suggests that the ambient seismic field recorded by the ever‐increasing number of ocean‐bottom seismometers can be used to simulate the long‐period ground motions from large megathrust earthquakes.
CRM social: la orientación empresarial hacia el cliente en plataformas 2.0
Authors: Castelló Martínez Araceli 
Published: August 2019

El empleo de entornos digitales colaborativos para la implementación de estrategias y programas de orientación empresarial hacia el cliente ha dado paso al llamado Customer Relationship Management social (sCRM), que mediante acciones como la puesta en marcha de canales de atención al cliente a través de plataformas 2.0 ayuda a la empresa a mejorar la relación con los clientes (actuales y potenciales), al proyectar una imagen humana de la marca y escuchar a los usuarios, generando de esta manera oportunidades de negocio. El objetivo de este artículo es el estudio de las características del sCRM frente al CRM tradicional, así como la revisión del estado de la cuestión en la empresa. Se parte de la hipótesis de que la implementación con éxito de un programa de sCRM no consiste en una simple mejora tecnológica, sino que requiere también el desarrollo de una filosofía relacional de la empresa hacia el cliente. La metodología se basa en la investigación documental de publicaciones de los ámbitos profesional y académico, describiendo laevolución del CRM tradicional al CRM social y analizando las peculiaridades de este último. Tras este análisis, queda demostrada la importancia que la incorporación de las redes sociales como un canal más de interacción entre empresa y cliente tiene en el modelo de negocio y la efectividad comercial y comunicacional de la compañía, como filosofía que va más allá del empleo de recursos tecnológicos.

Os serviços de áudio descrição (AD) interativos, atualmente existentes, podem ser alvo de um conjunto de melhorias com vista a uma adequação mais eficiente ao contexto dos utilizadores com deficiência visual. Na realidade, as funcionalidades interativas inerentes a estes serviços, suportados por diferentes plataformas de televisão, centram-se, maioritariamente, na opção de ativação da áudio descrição e de alertas sonoros quando um programa com áudio descrição é iniciado. Contudo, as infraestruturas de distribuição de televisão atuais, desde que complementadas com um canal de retorno e Set-Top Boxes (STB) adequadas, abrem uma janela de oportunidade bastante interessante para a criação de um serviço interativo de áudio descrição que integre funcionalidades avançadas que possam ser, automaticamente, ajustadas às preferências dos utilizadores.É neste contexto que se propõe o desenvolvimento de um serviço interativo de áudio descrição complementado por um sistema de identificação automática do utilizador. Com esta complementaridade, o serviço pode ser dinamicamente ajustado às preferências do utilizador que, de facto, está a ver televisão,invocando, automaticamente, as opções previamente selecionadas nas respetivas configurações.Uma vez que existem diversas formas de implementar um sistema de identificação, realizaram-se um conjunto de entrevistas, no Instituto Oftalmológico Dr. Gama Pinto – IOGP, em Lisboa, com o objetivo de determinar o método de identificação mais adequado para utilizadores com deficiência visual. As entrevistas foram realizadas a 20 utentes da consulta de sub-visão.A partir dos resultados obtidos foi possível concluir que existe uma preferência por dois métodos de identificação, nomeadamente o uso de um cartão RFID e de um leitor de impressões digitais.

Este artigo teve como objetivo analisar o acesso à justiça à população idosa, bem como as consequências sociais e políticas da não participação dos mesmos no contexto democrático. Utiliza metodologicamente a análise documental dos processos judiciais que tramitaram no Fórum da Comarca de Viçosa/MG, iniciados no ano de 2014. Os resultados apontaram para um largo fluxo de ações judiciais no âmbito do direito à saúde. Acrescenta, ainda, que os idosos viçosences encontraram dificuldades no que diz respeito à efetivação de políticas públicas e, por isso, recorreram ao recurso significativo à via judicial como forma de verem seus direitos pleiteados. Conclui que, além disso, os resultados também sinalizaram para um caminho percorrido da efetividade à judicialização, designadamente no âmbito do direito à saúde e em pedidos de internação para tratamento por dependência química.Palavras chaves: Políticas públicas.

Published: August 2019

A Região Amazônica brasileira tem sido apresentada ao mundo como reduto de ecossistemas, de espécies de seres vivos ainda não catalogados e dos já catalogados, que expressam potencial econômico abundante para atender aos anseios do ardil capitalista contemporâneo. Sobressai na região, ainda, o histórico processo de extração mineral, que atualmente na condição de commodittes (mercadorias) as quais representam, na sua totalidade, parte importante da produção nacional, 6,8% do PIB brasileiro o que equivale a 65% do valor das exportações brasileiras. Neste estudo destacamos que a presença dessas empresas na região conforma um quadro de exploração da riqueza oriunda da natureza de modo que os ganhos reais se voltam para atender à rentabilidade capitalista em detrimento das condições e modos de vida dos sujeitos históricos presentes na região para os quais sobram as consequências deletérias da forma de ser do capital e o acirramento das desigualdades ao nível local em suas muitas dimensões.

La utilización de especies del hongo Trichoderma es de uso frecuente en el control biológico, donde inicialmente se aplicó por sus propiedades micoparásitas y antibióticas. Numerosas publicaciones han demostrado también su capacidad para colonizar las raíces y sus múltiples efectos favorables sobre los cultivos. Para Costa Rica no hay referencias que hagan mención al uso de filtrado de metabolitos secundarios para incrementar la producción de chile dulce. El objetivo de esta investigación consistió en comparar el efecto de filtrado de metabolitos secundarios presentes en un biofiltrado del hongo Trichoderma asperellum en la estimulación del crecimiento en chile dulce (Capsicum annum var Nathalie) en ambientes protegidos. Se evaluaron tratamientos a diferentes concentraciones de T. asperellum y de sus biofiltrados, en almácigos de esta hortaliza. Los efectos obtenidos con la aplicación de T. asperellum sobre la estimulación del crecimiento indican que la utilización de este biocontrolador tiene un impacto mayor en la etapa de almácigo. El tratamiento de T50 (T. asperellum al 50%) resultó ser la mejor opción durante los dos años de análisis en la elongación de la raíz, además promovió un incremento en la biomasa de la raíz y el área foliar. Sin embargo, la utilización de este microorganismo en invernadero en la etapa de productividad, no presentó diferencias significativas entre los tratamientos, aunque se observó un buen desarrollo foliar de las plantas comparadas con el testigo.
Stratigraphic Analysis with Refraction Tomography
Authors: Hutchinson Peter J. , Tsai Maggie H. 
Published: August 2019

ABSTRACTNear-surface seismic refraction tomography imaged the basal contact of the Upper Cambrian silica-rich Mount Simon Formation with that of the underlying Precambrian granite in central Wisconsin. The discrimination between the Mount Simon and underlying non-conformable contact with Precambrian rocks was based upon a p-wave velocity of 1,700 m/s. Refraction tomography imaged deep, broad tidal channels within the Mount Simon consistent with the inference that Mount Simon was deposited in a high-energy near-shore, probably fluvial environment. The Mount Simon is an arenite that has high commercial value.
Ultrastructure of the Test Wall in Modern Porcelaneous Foraminifera: Implications For the Classification of the Miliolida
Authors: Parker Justin H. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractNew insight into wall ultrastructure has been gained from examination of 130 species of porcelaneous foraminifera. New terms are introduced to describe the porcelaneous wall, including: “porcelain” for the main body of the wall that is comprised of a matrix of randomly oriented needle-shaped crystals; “intrados” for the inner mineralised surface; and “extrados” for the outer mineralised surface. The main test wall may also contain aligned needle-shaped crystals, which form an “infraskeletal framework” where parallel to the test wall, and “infraskeletal windows” where perpendicular to the wall surface. The intrados is constructed of needle-shaped crystals oriented randomly on a plane parallel to the inner surface of the chamber. Its structure is relatively consistent across all studied species and does not change during ontogeny. The porcelain is the fundamental part of the wall that determines appearance (e.g., carinate, costate, striate and pitted ornament). It is primarily constructed of a matrix of randomly oriented needle-shaped crystals, which in some species have embedded sediment particles, and in Pseudohauerina is perforated by a canaliculate network. Within the porcelain in soritid and peneroplid taxa, an infraskeletal framework occurs in chamber and chamberlet walls that forms the basis of the chamber around which the randomly-oriented crystals of the porcelain are placed. In Alveolinella and Borelis the porcelain of lateral chamber walls contains crystals aligned perpendicular to the chambers that form infraskeletal windows, which likely assist in light transmission into the test. The extrados in the studied taxa is constructed of needle-, rod- or plate-shaped crystals that may be aligned or non-aligned. At the genus level there is typically consistency in the structure of the extrados, however in Quinqueloculina and Triloculina variation between species is observed. Examination of wall ultrastructure is a useful character to help understand attempts to split these genera, and more broadly to better understand the phylogenetic links between taxa.
How To Discriminate Athalassic and Marginal Marine Microfaunas: Foraminifera and Other Fossils from an Early Holocene Continental Lake in Northern Saudi Arabia

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The occurrence of athalassic foraminiferal species, along with the brackish-water ostracod Cyprideis torosa, the barnacle Amphibalanus amphitrite, and brackish-water gastropods, prove the existence of a saline lake at Tayma, northern Saudi Arabia, during the early to mid-Holocene. Outcrops at the former shoreline, as well as a single sediment core, allow a reconstruction of the history of the main lake phase. Whereas these outcrops contain masses of calcareous micro- and macrofossils, the core from the modern sabkha does not.
Four foraminiferal species were identified: Ammonia tepida is dominant, Quinqueloculina seminula is common, Flintinoides labiosa and Discorinopsis aguayoi are rare. Sieve-pore analysis and shell chemistry of C. torosa, as well as varying but generally high proportions of test anomalies (up to 50%) in foraminifers, indicate fluctuating, mostly hypersaline lacustrine conditions. We suggest, based on these results and on a literature overview on the worldwide distribution of Quaternary athalassic foraminifer taxa, that a combination of low diversity, exclusively marginal marine taxa, combined with occurrences of test anomalies >10% can be used to recognize athalassic saline waters in the fossil record.
The Ecological Balance of Nature and the Evolution of Baffin Bay, Texas

Published: August 2019

Abstract
The mixed siliciclastic/carbonate sediments of Baffin Bay, Texas, provide a record of the evolution of the Bay for the last 10 ka. Flooding surfaces at 8 ka and 5.5 ka provided an a priori separation of sediments in a core into three groups. Discriminant analysis and interpretation of species composition of the foraminifera from these groups indicated a progression from deltaic to open-bay to hypersaline environments. This traditional paleoecological analysis, however, does not utilize the information available in the relative abundance distribution (RAD) within each community. An approach capable of assessing within community change is provided by S (species richness), H (Shannon information function) and E (evenness) analysis. Using this approach not only can communities be designated without a priori assumptions and environments identified easily, but also the RAD within each community can be evaluated, providing a record of community growth, decline or stasis with time. Stasis, or the ecological balance of nature, is mathematically defined as an equilibrium between S and E such that diversity (H) remains constant with time. This stasis requires that, as the number of individuals (N) gets larger with time, the value of H remains constant. Thus, at stasis a regression between H versus lnN will have a 0 value for the regression coefficient (β1H), here termed the Relative Abundance Distribution Index, RADI. A positive value of RADI indicates community growth, a negative value indicates community decline. In the Baffin Bay core 6, communities were identified from 46 samples using SHE analysis. At ∼9 ka the RADI was positive, indicating the growth of a normal marine community with a high S. A second community, still largely normal marine but with a slightly negative RADI, formed at ∼8 ka. Beginning at ∼6.4 ka, the 3rd and 4th marginal marine communities with highly negative RADIs formed, indicating a sharp decline for ∼1 ka during the formation of Padre Island, which may have taken ∼1000 years. At ∼5 ka the 5th and 6th marginal marine communities were established with RADIs indicating a prolonged period of stasis. The 5th community was dominated by Elphidium with a high percentage of miliolids. The 6th community, established at ∼2 ka, was dominated by Ammonia and a moderate percentage of miliolids. These last two communities, both at stasis, were apparently responding to changes in salinity brought on by changes in rainfall.
Taxonomy, Stratigraphy and Phylogeny of the Middle Miocene Fohsella Lineage: Geometric Morphometric Evidence
Authors: Si Weimin , Berggren William A. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe taxonomy and phylogeny of the planktonic foraminifera Fohsella lineage has been controversial for nearly 50 years, despite its widespread application in Middle Miocene stratigraphy. We have re-examined type specimens of this lineage together with specimens from a continuous deep-sea record (Ocean Drilling Program Site 806, Ontong Java Plateau, western equatorial Pacific Ocean) with an astronomic chronology. Landmark-based geometric morphometry is employed to visualize and quantify morphologic variation within this lineage. Combined morphologic and stratigraphic data help clarify the evolutionary occurrence of diagnostic traits that characterize two problematic taxa, F. praefohsi and F. “praefohsi”, resulting in a revised taxonomy and phylogeny of the lineage. We emphasize the importance of biometric studies of populations from continuous geologic records in establishing taxonomy and phylogeny of planktonic foraminifera. In the past, over-emphasis on the importance of type specimens as reference points in delineating various evolutionary stages of the Fohsella lineage has resulted in inaccurate phylogenetic reconstructions.
A New Foraminiferal Species Pseudotriloculina Hottingeri N. Sp. from the Arabian Gulf
Authors: Amao Abduljamiu O. , Kaminski Michael A. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThis study describes a new species belonging to the miliolid foraminiferal genus Pseudotriloculina. The species Pseudotriloculina hottingeri n.sp. is here described from several locations sampled in the Arabian Gulf. The species is distinguished by its U-shaped chambers arranged initially in an indistinct quadriloculine and later in a pseudotriloculine manner and its porcelaneous wall ornamented with longitudinal or bifurcating costae running along the chambers from the posterior end to the apertural margin. It also has a short, taurus/spur-shaped bifid tooth within a terminal aperture and a broad collar draped on the last chamber. It has a restricted bathymetric and ecological distribution in the Arabian Gulf. It has a depth range of 0.02–17 m, tolerates salinity of 36–52 ppt and temperatures of 27–30°C. Specimens were found in 20 samples out of 78 sampled stations studied in the Arabian Gulf. The species appears to have ecological significance in understanding epibiont-basibiont interactions and can also be used to delineate restricted environments based on its ecological preferences.
Organic-walled Fossil Testate Amoebae Records (late Cretaceous–holocene) from the Neotethyan–mediterranean Region
Authors: Kutluk Hatice , Mazei Yuri 
Published: August 2019

AbstractThe significance of fossil testate amoebae having organic shells and their application for biostratigraphical and paleoecological studies are unexplored fields, although these organisms are extensively used as bioindicators in ecological studies of Recent and Holocene environments. Some taxa of fossil testate amoebae with organic (chitinous, pseudochitinous, or proteinaceous) shells were recovered in Turkey from a series of palynological samples, ranging in age from Late Cretaceous to Holocene. A total of 202 samples were processed from sediments from 11 sites representing fluvial flood-plain, lacustrine, estuarine, and peat-swamp as well as shallow and deep marine facies. Nineteen taxa of the genera Arcella, Centropyxis, Frenzelina, Microcometes, Nebela, Phryganella, Pyxidicula, and Sphenoderia were recorded from the Late Cretaceous, Lower−Middle Eocene, Lower Miocene, and Quaternary sediments. The literature on fossil organic-walled testate amoebae records was also reviewed and compared with the findings in this study.
A Study of Co-occurrences of Foraminifera and Mussels in a Polluted Nova Scotian Wetland, Atlantic Canada
Authors: Wilson Brent , Hayek Lee-Ann C. 
Published: August 2019

AbstractStudies of foraminiferal assemblages in intertidal marshes and subtidal creeks usually rely upon sediment samples collected along transects, such that associations with other organisms often go unnoticed. We show that ecologically useful data can be obtained by sampling that is stratified by substrate and microenvironment. The tidal wetland at Lower LaHave, Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada (44º16′37.39″N, 64º19′46.45″W, area ∼1 km2) comprises mostly sandy sediment occupied largely by the low marsh grass Spartina alterniflora. The wetland is situated next to LaHave Estuary, which is polluted with domestic waste. Microenvironments within the marsh were sampled for total (living + dead) foraminiferal assemblages. The mass of dried sediment examined at each site was used to calculate the foraminiferal number (FN, number of foraminiferal tests per gram of sediment). Sediment samples from the intertidal grass beds reflect a typical low- to high-marsh zonal distribution of benthic foraminifera [FN = 24.7 ± 16.6 g−1 (mean ± standard deviation); n = 716 tests]. Samples from a tidal channel yielded few tests (FN = ∼0.3 ± 0.7 g−1; n = 22). Clutches of the mussel Mytilus edulis occurred in areas of strong current action within the channel and on lower energy slip-off slopes. Mussel clutches from the channel base yielded few tests (FN = ∼0.7 ± 0.7 g−1; n = 25), mostly Miliammina fusca. Clutches from slip-off slopes yielded a significantly richer assemblage (FN = 8.7 ± 4.6 g−1; n = 229) dominated by Elphidium umbilicatulum. We concluded that mussel clutches in low energy areas can be suitable habitat for E. umbilicatulum, either associated with structural complexity of the clutches or with waste products excreted by mussels that may stimulate growth of bacteria or microalgae upon which the foraminifera feed. The results from this study provide a baseline for examining the biotic impact of remediation of the LaHave River on the Lower LaHave wetland.
