(Not) Wanted Dead or Alive
Authors: Ryan Ann M. 
Published: November 2015

Abstract
One of the lesser-known bodies in Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is the dead white man in “Jim's Ghost Story,” an excised section of the novel. Twain inverts the paradigm that conceives of black bodies as fodder for white gothic narratives. Instead, in “Jim's Ghost Story,” the fears of an enslaved black man imagine and construct what's monstrous. Jim's anger represents the deeper rage of the black community at the end of the nineteenth century. While Twain sympathizes with the cultural exorcism this narrative promises—where white monsters are punished for crimes against black bodies—he will nonetheless cut it from the text. Later in his career, Twain describes Pudd'nhead Wilson as being the product of a “literary Caesarian operation,” bringing to light some new fictional hybrid; in the case of “Jim's Ghost Story,” he performs a literary autopsy instead, killing a text that will never see the light of day.

Published: November 2015

<p class="Default">The objective of this research was to enhance two case studies of pre-service science teachers’ practice according to SSI-based teaching through collaborative action research. The case study participants had taken a field experience course in the universities in Bangkok in the academic year 2014. The researcher gathered data from classroom observation, students’ journal entries, and student artifacts. In addition, they were asked to write journal entries about their practices. Moreover, informal interviews were used for clarification. These collected data were analyzed using within-case and cross-case analyses. The findings showed that both case studies developed grade 10 students’ argumentation skills through SSI-based teaching in natural resource unit with 4 stages of teaching: issue stage; exploration stage; argument stage; and decision making stage for promoting students’ argumentation. Based on the collaborative action research, the participants changed their teaching to engage students with SSI; increasing facilitating of students’ group working in order to get more essential information; using role play to promote the effective students’ argumentation; and providing enough time for reviewing data to better support decision making. <strong></strong></p> <p class="Default"> </p> <p><strong>Keywords: </strong>Pre-service science teachers, Socioscientific issue-based teaching, Collaborative action research</p>
La « communauté linguistique française » du Nouveau-Brunswick dans l’article 16.1 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés : entre politiques de reconnaissance et reconnaissance politique d’une communauté linguistique au Canada
Authors: Traisnel Christophe , Bossé Darius 
Published: November 2015

En 45 ans, le Canada a défini une approche bien singulière de la protection et de la promotion de ses minorités linguistiques, une approche fondée non sur la reconnaissance politique de communautés désignées, mais sur des politiques de reconnaissance linguistique à travers l’adoption du bilinguisme officiel. Une exception apparaît cependant, celle du Nouveau-Brunswick et de ses « communauté française » et « communauté anglaise » nommément désignées dans l’article 16.1 de la Charte canadienne des droits et libertés. Il s’agira ici d’examiner l’exception néo-brunswickoise, qui semble transposer le modèle canadien plutôt que s’en dissocier.
Les mots pour se / le dire : trois temps forts dans l’Acadie au féminin : Antonine Maillet, Dyane Léger, France Daigle
Authors: Boehringer Monika 
Published: November 2015

Trois moments forts de la littérature acadienne au féminin sont à l’étude dans cet article :ÉvangélineDeusse(1975) d’Antonine Maillet, écrit contre le mythe d’Évangélinede Longfellow, exhibe toute la verve pour laquelle son auteure est connue.Graines de fées(1980), premier recueil poétique de Dyane Léger, signale que la modernité de l’écriture des femmes est arrivée en Acadie : ses jeux de mots jusqu’alors inouïs sont sous-tendus par un vaste réseau intertextuel. Et le roman postmodernePour sûr(2011), de France Daigle, excelle dans sa réflexion soutenue sur les langues. Non seulement l’auteure continue-t-elle sa méditation sur la place du chiac au Nouveau-Brunswick, mais elle fait coexister le vernaculaire avec d’autres variantes du français et d’autres langues minoritaires, si bien que les préoccupations langagières de ses personnages prennent une ampleur qui risque même d’ébranler le statut de l’anglais : la défamiliarisation de cette langue quasi omnipotente est seulement un des effets de la virtuosité ludique du dernier roman de Daigle.
The changing ozone depletion potential of N2O in a future climate
Authors: Revell L. E. , Tummon F. , Salawitch R. J. , Stenke A. , Peter T. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractNitrous oxide (N2O), which decomposes in the stratosphere to form nitrogen oxides (NOx), is currently the dominant anthropogenic ozone‐depleting substance emitted. Ozone depletion potentials (ODPs) of specific compounds, commonly evaluated for present‐day conditions, were developed for long‐lived halocarbons and are used by policymakers to inform decision‐making around protection of the ozone layer. However, the effect of N2O on ozone will evolve in the future due to changes in stratospheric dynamics and chemistry induced by rising levels of greenhouse gases. Despite the fact that NOx‐induced ozone loss slows with increasing concentrations of CO2 and CH4, we show that ODPN2O for year 2100 varies under different scenarios and is mostly larger than ODPN2O for year 2000. This occurs because the traditional ODP approach is tied to ozone depletion induced by CFC‐11, which is also sensitive to CO2 and CH4. We therefore suggest that a single ODP for N2O is of limited use.
Surface water‐groundwater connectivity in deltaic distributary channel networks
Authors: Sawyer Audrey H. , Edmonds Douglas A. , Knights Deon 
Published: November 2015

AbstractDelta distributary channel networks increase river water contact with sediments and provide the final opportunity to process nutrients and other solutes before river water discharges to the ocean. In order to understand surface water‐groundwater interactions at the scale of the distributary channel network, we created three numerical deltas that ranged in composition from silt to sand using Delft3D, a morphodynamic flow and sediment transport model. We then linked models of mean annual river discharge to steady groundwater flow in MODFLOW. Under mean annual discharge, exchange rates through the numerical deltas are enhanced relative to a single‐threaded river. We calculate that exchange rates across a <10 km2 network are equivalent to exchange through ~10–100 km of single‐threaded river channel. Exchange rates are greatest in the coarse‐grained delta due to its permeability and morphology. Groundwater residence times range from hours to centuries and have fractal tails. Deltas are vanishing due to relative sea level rise. River diversion projects aimed at creating new deltaic land should also aim to restore surface water‐groundwater connectivity, which is critical for biogeochemical processing in wetlands. We recommend designing diversions to capture more sand and thus maximize surface water‐groundwater connectivity.
Observations of discrete magnetosonic waves off the magnetic equator

Published: November 2015

AbstractFast mode magnetosonic waves are typically confined close to the magnetic equator and exhibit harmonic structures at multiples of the local, equatorial proton cyclotron frequency. We report observations of magnetosonic waves well off the equator at geomagnetic latitudes from −16.5°to −17.9° and L shell ~2.7–4.6. The observed waves exhibit discrete spectral structures with multiple frequency spacings. The predominant frequency spacings are ~6 and 9 Hz, neither of which is equal to the local proton cyclotron frequency. Backward ray tracing simulations show that the feature of multiple frequency spacings is caused by propagation from two spatially narrow equatorial source regions located at L ≈ 4.2 and 3.7. The equatorial proton cyclotron frequencies at those two locations match the two observed frequency spacings. Our analysis provides the first observations of the harmonic nature of magnetosonic waves well away from the equatorial region and suggests that the propagation from multiple equatorial sources contributes to these off‐equatorial magnetosonic emissions with varying frequency spacings.

AbstractWe present a new GPS velocity field covering the peri‐Adriatic tectonically active belts and the entire Balkan Peninsula. From the velocities, we calculate consistent strain rate and interpolated velocity fields. Significant features of the crustal deformation include (1) the eastward motion of the northern part of the Eastern Alps together with part the Alpine foreland and Bohemian Massif toward the Pannonian Basin, (2) shortening across the Dinarides, (3) a clockwise rotation of the Albanides‐Hellenides, and (4) a southward motion south of 44°N of the inner Balkan lithosphere between the rigid Apulia and Black Sea, toward the Aegean domain. Using this new velocity field, we derive the strain rate tensor to analyze the regional style of the deformation. Then, we devise a simple test based on the momentum balance equation, to investigate the role of horizontal gradients of gravitational potential energy in driving the deformation in the peri‐Adriatic tectonically active mountain belts: the Eastern Alps, the Dinarides, the Albanides, and the Apennines. We show that the strain rate fields observed in the Apennines and Albanides are consistent with a fluid, with viscosity η ∼ 3×1021 Pa s, deforming in response to horizontal gradients of gravitational potential energy. Conversely, both the Dinarides and Eastern Alps are probably deforming in response to the North and North‐East oriented motion of the Adria‐Apulia indenter, respectively, and as a consequence of horizontal lithospheric heterogeneity.
Vertical scales and dynamics of eddies in the Arctic Ocean's Canada Basin
Authors: Zhao Mengnan , Timmermans Mary‐Louise 
Published: November 2015

AbstractA decade of moored measurements from the Arctic Ocean's northwestern Beaufort Gyre (collected as a component of the Beaufort Gyre Exploration Project) are analyzed to examine the range of mesoscale eddies over the water column and the dynamical processes that set eddy vertical scales. A total of 58 eddies were identified in the moored record, all anticyclones with azimuthal velocities ranging from 10 to 43 cm/s. These are divided into three classes based on core depths. Shallow eddies (core depths around 120 m) are shown to be vertically confined by the strong stratification of the halocline; typical thicknesses are around 100 m. Deep eddies (core depths around 1200 m) are much taller (thicknesses around 1300 m) owing to the weaker stratification at depth, consistent with a previous study. Eddies centered around mid‐depths all have two cores (vertically aligned and separated in depth) characterized by velocity maxima and anomalous temperature and salinity properties. One core is located at the base of the halocline (around 200 m depth) and the other at the depth of the Atlantic Water layer (around 400 m depth). These double‐core eddies have vertical scales between those of the shallow and deep eddies. The strongly decreasing stratification in their depth range motivates a derivation for the quasi‐geostrophic adjustment of a nonuniformly stratified water column to a potential vorticity anomaly. The result aids in interpreting the dynamics and origins of the double‐core eddies, providing insight into transport across a major water mass front separating Canadian and Eurasian Water.
Remote alongshore winds drive variability of the California Undercurrent off the British Columbia‐Washington coast
Authors: Thomson Richard E. , Krassovski Maxim V. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThe California Undercurrent transports warm, salty, nutrient‐rich, oxygen‐depleted water along the continental slope from the equatorial Pacific to the Aleutian Islands. We use multiyear acoustic Doppler current profiler records collected simultaneously at two mooring sites off Vancouver Island to detail the regional structure of the undercurrent and to show that much of its variability is attributable to the passage of remotely forced, coastal‐trapped waves. We also document two subsurface currents missed by earlier current measurements. The undercurrent becomes evident in spring, intensifies through summer and fall, and merges with the wind‐driven poleward surface flow in winter. During intensification at the southern mooring site (A1), the undercurrent shoals from 250 ± 50 m in early summer to 150 ± 50 m depth in late fall. At the northern site (BP2), 225 km to the northwest of A1, the current is weaker and maintains a year‐round depth of 150 ± 50 m. Temporal variability in the undercurrent velocity attains highest coherence with winds along the southern Oregon‐northern California coast, with peak coherence occurring for “synoptic” (10–40 day period) alongshore winds off Cape Blanco in southern Oregon. The undercurrent lag of 3 ± 2 days relative to the Cape Blanco winds at synoptic periods is consistent with low mode, poleward propagating, coastally trapped waves. For periods >40 days, the wind‐current coherence remains high for winds off the Oregon‐California coast but lags are often negative, indicating possible forcing by alongshore baroclinic pressure gradients. At interannual time scales, the undercurrent variations have links to climate‐scale processes in the equatorial Pacific.
Assessing the role of precursor cyclones on the formation of extreme Greenland blocking episodes and their impact on summer melting across the Greenland ice sheet
Authors: McLeod Jordan T. , Mote Thomas L. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractA 30 year climatology of North Atlantic cyclones from 1979 to 2008 is examined within the context of extreme Greenland blocking and accelerated surface melting across the Greenland ice sheet (GrIS). A distinct class of North Atlantic cyclones, known as precursor cyclones, was identified as any extratropical cyclones originating to the west of Greenland blocks prior to the peak of blocking intensity. Composite map analysis reveals that precursor cyclones contributed to a significant intensification of extreme Greenland blocking episodes (GBEs) through the process of upper level wave amplification. Across all seasons, most extreme GBEs are associated with multiple precursor cyclones prior to peaking in intensity, and a majority of these cyclones have continental rather than oceanic origins. Over both the western and eastern sectors of Greenland, daily meltwater production simulated by the Modèle Atmosphérique Régional regional climate model is greater during extreme GBEs accompanied by precursor cyclones compared to extreme GBEs lacking a precursor cyclone. Based on an analysis of air parcel trajectories and North Atlantic SST anomalies, enhanced surface melting during the summer, particularly over southern and western Greenland, is strongly linked to the combination of vigorous adiabatic warming generated by subsiding air within the blocking anticyclones and warm air advection supplied by the precursor cyclones. With the increased frequency of extreme GBEs accompanied by precursor cyclones observed during a strong positive phase of the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation, recent long‐term increases in GrIS surface melting can be partially attributed to the interaction of these atmospheric and oceanic processes.

AbstractEarth System Models increasingly include ocean biogeochemistry models in order to predict changes in ocean carbon storage, hypoxia, and biological productivity under climate change. However, state‐of‐the‐art ocean biogeochemical models include many advected tracers, that significantly increase the computational resources required, forcing a trade‐off with spatial resolution. Here, we compare a state‐of‐the art model with 30 prognostic tracers (TOPAZ) with two reduced‐tracer models, one with 6 tracers (BLING), and the other with 3 tracers (miniBLING). The reduced‐tracer models employ parameterized, implicit biological functions, which nonetheless capture many of the most important processes resolved by TOPAZ. All three are embedded in the same coupled climate model. Despite the large difference in tracer number, the absence of tracers for living organic matter is shown to have a minimal impact on the transport of nutrient elements, and the three models produce similar mean annual preindustrial distributions of macronutrients, oxygen, and carbon. Significant differences do exist among the models, in particular the seasonal cycle of biomass and export production, but it does not appear that these are necessary consequences of the reduced tracer number. With increasing CO2, changes in dissolved oxygen and anthropogenic carbon uptake are very similar across the different models. Thus, while the reduced‐tracer models do not explicitly resolve the diversity and internal dynamics of marine ecosystems, we demonstrate that such models are applicable to a broad suite of major biogeochemical concerns, including anthropogenic change. These results are very promising for the further development and application of reduced‐tracer biogeochemical models that incorporate “sub‐ecosystem‐scale” parameterizations.
Upwelling of deep water during thermal stratification onset—A major mechanism of vertical transport in small temperate lakes in spring?

Published: November 2015

AbstractUsing airborne thermal infrared imaging and horizontally resolved in situ temperature monitoring at the lake surface, we estimated strength and duration of regular wind‐driven upwelling of dense deep water to the lake surface in two small (in terms of Rossby radius) temperate lakes during the initial phase of summer thermal stratification. The onset and duration of the upwelling events correlated well with the balance between stratification (in terms of Schmidt stability) and wind forcing, as expressed by Lake and Wedderburn numbers. The period of regular upwelling appearances lasted 7–15 days, identified by Schmidt stabilities around 30 J m−2 and Lake numbers between 0 and 1, and resulted in persistent temperature gradients of up to 2°C across the lake surface. Our results suggest that spring upwelling should inevitably take place in all freshwater temperate lakes with mean temperatures crossing the maximum density value of freshwater on annual cycle, whereas duration and intensity of the upwelling would vary depending on lake morphometry and weather conditions. Our results suggest major contribution of upwelling in nutrient supply to the upper waters, oxygenation of the deep water column, and air‐lake gas exchange, in particular, the release of the sediment‐produced methane into the atmosphere.
A Chemical Inhibitor of the Skp2/p300 Interaction that Promotes p53‐Mediated Apoptosis
Authors: Oh Misook , Lee Ji Hoon , Moon Heejo , Hyun Yu‐Jung , Lim Hyun‐Suk 
Published: November 2015

AbstractSkp2 is thought to have two critical roles in tumorigenesis. As part of the SCFSkp2 ubiquitin ligase, Skp2 drives the cell cycle by mediating the degradation of cell cycle proteins. Besides the proteolytic activity, Skp2 also blocks p53‐mediated apoptosis by outcompeting p53 for binding p300. Herein, we exploit the Skp2/p300 interaction as a new target for Skp2 inhibition. An affinity‐based high‐throughput screen of a combinatorial cyclic peptoid library identified an inhibitor that binds to Skp2 and interferes with the Skp2/p300 interaction. We show that antagonism of the Skp2/p300 interaction by the inhibitor leads to p300‐mediated p53 acetylation, resulting in p53‐mediated apoptosis in cancer cells, without affecting Skp2 proteolytic activity. Our results suggest that inhibition of the Skp2/p300 interaction has a great potential as a new anticancer strategy, and our Skp2 inhibitor can be developed as a chemical probe to delineate Skp2 non‐proteolytic function in tumorigenesis.
The Electronic Spectrum of the Fulvenallenyl Radical
Authors: Chakraborty Arghya , Fulara Jan , Maier John P. 
Published: November 2015

AbstractThe fulvenallenyl radical was produced in 6 K neon matrices after mass‐selective deposition of C7H5− and C7H5+ generated from organic precursors in a hot cathode ion source. Absorption bands commencing at λ=401.3 nm were detected as a result of photodetachment of electrons from the deposited C7H5− and also by neutralization of C7H5+ in the matrix. The absorption system is assigned to the 1 2B1←X 2B1 transition of the fulvenallenyl radical on the basis of electronic excitation energies calculated with the MS‐CASPT2 method. The vibrational excitation bands detected in the spectrum concur with the structure of the fulvenallenyl radical. Employing DFT calculations, it is found that the fulvenallenyl anion and its radical are the global minima on the potential energy surface among plausible structures of C7H5.
