description: Scientific practices stemming from colonialism, whereby middle- and low-income countries supply data for high-income countries and the contributions of local expertise are devalued, are still prevalent today in the field of palaeontology. In response to these unjust practices, countries such as Mexico and Brazil adopted protective laws and regulations during the twentieth century to preserve their palaeontological heritage. However, scientific colonialism is still reflected in many publications describing fossil specimens recovered from these countries. Here, we present examples of ‘palaeontological colonialism’ from publications on Jurassic-Cretaceous fossils from NE Mexico and NE Brazil spanning the last three decades. Common issues that we identified in these publications are the absence of both fieldwork and export permit declarations and the lack of local experts among authorships. In Mexico, access to many fossil specimens is restricted on account of these specimens being housed in private collections, whereas a high number of studies on Brazilian fossils are based on specimens illegally reposited in foreign collections, particularly in Germany and Japan. Finally, we outline and discuss the wider academic and social impacts of these research practices, and propose exhaustive recommendations to scientists, journals, museums, research institutions and government and funding agencies in order to overcome these practices.

AUTOCHTHONOUS BIOFACIES IN THE PLIOCENE LORETO BASIN, BAJA CALIFORNIA SUR, MEXICO
Creators: name: PIAZZA, MICHELE

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 1998

description: The present paper examines the molluscan and/or echinoid assemblages recovered from two lithostratigraphic units (Piedras Rodadas Sandstone and Arroyo de Arce Norte Sandstone) outcropping in the Pliocene Loreto Basin, Baja California Sur, Mexico. Ten biofacies have been identified, i.e. Trachycardium procerum-Trachycardium senticosum Biofacies, Chione compta-Transennella modesta Biofacies, Laevicardium elenense-Chione kelletii Biofacies, Xenophora sp. 1-Strombus subgracilior Biofacies, Crassostrea californica osunai Biofacies, Myrakeena angelica Biofacies, Vermetid-Nodipecten Biofacies, Argopecten abietis abietis Biofacies, Aequipecten dallasi Biofacies and Encope Biofacies. The first four biofacies have been defined on the basis of statistical analyses (cluster analysis, MDS). The other six, which are monospecific or definitely low-diversity, were already identified during field work. The deduced paleoecological bearing of biofacies, largely relying upon the comparison to their closest modern counterparts, provides the basis for the paleoenvironmental reconstruction. The latter also considers sedimentological evidence and is framed within the tectonic and sedimentary context recently proposed by American workers. Biofacies point toward environments differing in terms of substrate texture, presence/absence of vegetal cover, energy level, variously distributed within the low tide mark-40 m bathymetric range.

THE MOLLUSCAN ASSEMBLAGES IN THE FLUVIO-LACUSTRINE SUCCESSION OF THE PLIO-PLEISTOCENE MUGELLO BASIN (TUSCANY, ITALY)

description: New geologic studies on the fluvio-lacustrine Mugello Basin (Florence, Italy) stimulated a revision of the continental molluscan assemblages known since the last century. The fluvio-lacustrine succession has been subdivided in four synthems composed of fluvio-lacustrine (Torrente Ensa synthem, STE) and alluvial deposits (Scarperia, Luco di Mugello and Sagginale synthems). Two progressive angular unconformities in the STE allowed to distinguish three depositional sequences (S1, S2 and S3) composed of fan-delta gravels and sands, lacustrine silty clays (S1 and S2) and alluvial-fan gravels and sands (S3). Molluscs have been collected in various localities where S1 and S2 fan-delta and lacustrine deposits are exposed. The paleoecologic analysis of the molluscan assemblages is in accordance with the fluvio-lacustrine environment inferred from facies analysis. Different types of humid habitats, ranging from swamps, ponds, to channel-related environments (banks, leeves etc.), and open woody habitats have been recognized. The presence of Villafranchian extinct taxa such as Prososthenia oblonga, Emmericia cf. umbra and Tournouerina belnensis is in general agreement with the vertebrate fauna collected in the fluvio-lacustrine deposits since the last century and referred to the Tasso and Farneta faunal units (Late Villafranchian). A detailed integrated analysis of a 15 m thick gravelly-silty facies section of the S2 sequence reveals alternating depositional conditions in the subaerial portion of the fan deltas. Following a relative rise of base-level (i.e the lake level) flood-channels were disactivated with the formation of a floodplain-like environment dominated by fine-grained deposition, where localized poorly-drained areas created favourable habitats for molluscan taxa loving humid conditions. The sourrounding zones were characterized by open forests inhabited by terrestrial taxa. Low-magnitude, overland flows mixed the molluscan faunas of the different biotopes. The cyclic arrangement of gravels and silty clays reflects high-frequency uplift/denudational cycles during which biotopes for the molluscan fauna were alternatively activated.

description: In this article we report on the design, fabrication and tests of micro-fabricated broadband filters suitable for proper electromagnetic thermalization of electrical lines connected to sensitive quantum electronics experiments performed at dilution fridge temperatures. Compared to previous such miniature filters, the new design improves on performance and reliability. These filters can be packed in space-saving cases with either single or multi-contact connectors. Measured performance in the accessible range compares well to simulations. We use these simulations to discuss the effectiveness of these filters for electromagnetic thermalization at 30 mK.

Το κανονιστικό περιεχόμενο της αρχής έχει την έννοια της εξομοίωσης των προσώπων που βρίσκονται σε όμοιες καταστάσεις. Η αρχή αυτή δεσμεύει τόσο τον νομοθέτη όσο και τη διοίκηση, ώστε να διασφαλίζεται η ισότητα όχι μόνο των πολιτών ενώπιον του νόμου, αλλά και του νόμου ενώπιον των πολιτών. Απαραίτητο μεθοδολογικό εργαλείο για την επεκτατική εφαρμογή της ευνοϊκής ρύθμισης και σε άλλες περιπτώσεις είναι το κριτήριό της αναλογικής ερμηνείας. Τα εθνικά δικαστήρια δεν τηρούν ενιαία στάση στο ζήτημα αυτό, φαίνεται ωστόσο ότι κατατείνουν στην αποδοχή της θέσης ότι : σε περίπτωση αδικαιολόγητης διάκρισης από το νομοθέτη, με τη θέσπιση ευμενούς διάταξης για μια κατηγορία προσώπων, τα δικαστήρια επεκτείνουν την ευνοϊκή ρύθμιση και σε εκείνους που εξαιρούνται αδικαιολόγητα.
description: The principle of equality is a general legal principle, which is explicitly delimited in the greek constitution and applies at all areas of law. The normative content of the above principle consists in equality all the people undergoing similar conditions. The necessary methodological tool for the expansive implementation of the most favourable norm in similar cases is proportional interpretation, though there is not a unified jurisprudence of the national courts on this issue. Nevertheless, it seems that the national courts tend to adopt the following position : in case that the legislator enables an unjustified discrimination, by applying a favourable provision to a certain category of persons, the courts extend it to all those unjustifyable excluded from its implementation.
THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND KIDNEY FUNCTION/CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE

description: INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease is a serious public health concern because of the large physical and economic burden on society. Because of this large burden, it is important to determine what factors are associated with the development and progression of the disease, especially in early stages. Physical activity has been shown to be related to many risk factors for CKD; however, few studies have assessed its direct relationship with kidney function. METHODS: Using data from NHANES, a nationally representative U.S., we described physical activity by various intensities, gender and race/ethnicity (paper 1). We then investigated the cross-sectional relationship between varying intensities of objectively assessed physical activity and kidney function in the same population (paper 2). Using data from the Strong Heart Study, an American Indian cohort at high risk for CKD, we investigated the relationship between subjectively assessed physical activity with kidney function prospectively (paper 3). RESULTS: We showed that Mexican Americans were more physically active than whites and blacks at all levels of intensity, in contrast to findings using questionnaires. We also confirmed that light intensity activity made the largest contribution to total movement. In paper 2, we showed that objectively assessed light intensity physical activity was independently associated with kidney function while objectively and subjectively assessed moderate to vigorous physical activity was not. In paper 3 we showed that physical inactivity was associated with rapid declines and kidney THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND KIDNEY FUNCTION/CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE Marquis Hawkins, PhD University of Pittsburgh, 2010 vi function over a five year period. Physical inactivity was also associated with development of kidney damage over a ten year period. PUBLIC HEALTH SIGNIFICANCE: The results of these three papers show that physical activity of various intensities are related to kidney function and that physical activity may also preserve kidney function over time in a high risk population. Previous recommendations for physical activity and health were unable to discuss the benefits of physical activity on kidney function because the paucity of evidence. This study is of public health significance because it adds to the growing body of evidence for which we can base our future recommendations.
SPIRORBID POLYCHAETES AS BOREAL GUESTS IN THE MEDITERRANEAN PLEISTOCENE

description: A first report of Spirorbis spirorbis (Linnaeus, 1758) and Spirorbis corallinae (de Silva & Knight-Jones, 1962) from Early and Middle Pleistocene deposits in Sicily and submerged Late Glacial sediments in the Western Mediterranean is presented. Today both species live on shores and very shallow bottoms in the North Atlantic and are unknown from the Recent Mediterranean. Such differences in their present and past biogeographic distributions suggest that these species were Boreal Guests (BGs) in the Mediterranean Pleistocene. Special attention is paid to tube morphology and structure, which bear some diagnostic features for species identification.

Infalling Faint [OII] Emitters in Abell 851. II. Environment, Kinematics, and Star Formation History
Creators: name: Sato, Taro

Year: 2006

description: We report on the environments, kinematics, and SFH of [OII]-selected objects in the z=0.4 galaxy cluster A851, using Keck optical spectra. A large fraction (~55%) of cluster [OII] emitters show strong Balmer absorptions (>4A in equivalent width at Hd). These e(a) spectra have been attributed to dusty starburst galaxies, an interpretation supported by our reddening measurements, which show a high frequency of very reddened [EBV>0.5] [OII] emitters. Our spectral modeling requires starburst ages >1Gyr, shorter than the cluster crossing timescale. We argue that this starburst phase occurs during cluster infall based on the radial velocity distribution of the cluster [OII] emitters, which present a deficit of systems near the cluster systemic velocity. The spatial segregation of some redshifted and blueshifted groups strongly indicates that the accretion was recent. Throughout the cluster, the fraction in [OII] emitters is a strong function of the local galaxy density. Our analysis supports previous suggestions that dusty starburst galaxies arise at the expense of gas-rich spiral galaxies. In addition, we describe a fainter [OII]-emitting population, comprised largely of dwarf galaxies and find an even stronger suppression of [OII] emission in high density environments among this subsample, indicative of more effective destruction by harassment and/or gas-stripping. Comparison to previous morphological studies, limited to the core of A851, suggests that galaxy-galaxy interactions may trigger the starbursts. The high e(a) galaxy fraction in A851 compared to that in the field, however, suggests that some cluster-specific mechanism, likely related to the dynamical assembly of the cluster, also contributes to the high number of starbursts.

Για την ανάδειξη των μηχανισμών απομάκρυνσης αλλά και παραγωγής των αερίων ρύπων από τη βλάστηση χρησιμοποιήθηκαν μετρήσεις των ρύπων σε χρονοσειρές ετήσιες αλλά και μηνιαίες για τρεις περιοχές διαφορετικής πυκνότητας βλάστησης, στην περιοχή της Θεσσαλονίκης. Στην παρούσα εργασία δίδεται ένα μαθηματικό μοντέλο προσέγγισης του προβλήματος και εξάγεται μια ποσοτική σχέση μεταξύ των επιπέδων του ρύπου και της πυκνότητας της βλάστησης. Η μελέτη πραγματοποιείται για δύο εποχές. Την καλοκαιρινή και ανοιξιάτικη περίοδο, η οποία είναι μια εποχή με έντονη βλάστηση, και την χειμερινή περίοδο κατά την οποία μεγάλο μέρος της βλάστησης παύει να υφίσταται. Η παρούσα μελέτη αν και έχει να επιδείξει μια πολύ καλή και σχεδόν γραμμική εξάρτηση μεταξύ ρύπου και βάστησης, ωστόσο πρέπει να γίνει αντιληπτό στον αναγνώστη ότι χρήζει πολλά περιθώρια βελτίωσης τα οποία διευρύνονται από τη δυνατότητα μέτρησης επιπλέον πειραματικών παραμέτρων.
description: The present study deals with the effect of urban vegetation on air pollution. The main air pollutants are CO, SO2, O3 and PM10. For the presentation of removal mechanisms as well as for the production of air pollutants by vegetations measurements of emissions in yearly and monthly series were use for three districts with different density of vegetation in the vicinity of Thessaloniki. The present study offers a mathematical model of approach to the problem and quantitative relationship between levels of pollution and the density of vegetation is deduced from it. The study is carried out for two seasons. Summer and Spring which are seasons with luxuriant sprouting and Winter when large part of the vegetation ceases to exist. Although the study indicates a very good and almost linear interdependence between pollution and vegetation it should be noted that there is room for improvement which can be broadened with the possibility of measurement of additional experimental parameters.

description: The local response to a uniform field around vacancies in the two-dimensional (2D) spin-1/2 Heisenberg antiferromagnet is determined by numerical quantum Monte Carlo simulations as a function of temperature. It is possible to separate the Knight shifts into uniform and staggered contributions on the lattice which are analyzed and understood in detail. The contributions show interesting long and short range behavior that may be of relevance in NMR and susceptibility measurements. For more than one impurity remarkable non-linear enhancement and cancellation effects take place. We predict that the Curie impurity susceptibility will be observable for a random impurity concentration even in the thermodynamic limit.

Η διερεύνηση αυτής της αίσθησης έγινε στα πλαίσια μιας μελέτης για το κωμικό στην οποία συμπεριλήφθηκε η σάτιρα, ως μια εκδοχή-συγκεκριμένα η πιο ευθύβολη και ακραία του κωμικού όπως και η ειρωνία, εφόσον το κωμικό ενυπάρχει μέσα στις τυπικές της ιδιότητες.

description: The subject of this study os the examination of the sense of comic that is contained in the work of Ioannis D. Kondilakis. The examination of this sense took place in the context of a study of comic which included satire, as a version-to be exact, the most extreme and accurate version-of comic, as well as irony, provided that comic exists its typical characteristics. But, if irony takes a share in comic, then certainly hioumor and laughter, which is the common denominator of all the aboves, take a part too. Laughter in particular will occupy us both as the laughter of the readers and that the characters. Our course in Kondilaki's works according to the ideas mentioned above, which from a theoretical point of view proved themselves very useful in our try to descover the source and the function of comic in the prose of this certain author, brote us in front of an interesting such as contradirectory as certainment : in the works of Kondilakis comic does not present itself pure but interweaves in quite a long scale with its contradictory pole tragic.

description: We have studied, in a series of papers, the properties of the $M_{\bullet}$ versus $M_{G}σ^2$ relation and we have found that it is useful to describe the evolution of galaxies in the same way as the HR diagram does for stars and to predict the masses of Supermassive Black Holes that are difficult to be guessed using other scaling relations. In this paper, analyzing five samples of galaxies, we find that this relation has intrinsic scatter similar to the $M_{\bullet} - σ$, but follows the theoretical models much better than the $M_{\bullet} - σ$. Furthermore, we analyze the role of the bulge mass in the behavior of $M_{\bullet}$ versus $M_{G}σ^2$ relation because the difference with the $M_{\bullet} - σ$ is often determined by the choice of the right sample of galactic masses.

description: The high-mass X-ray binary LS I +61°303 exhibits variability in its radio and X-ray emissions, ranging from minute to hour time-scales. At such short time-scales, not much is known about the possible correlations between these two emissions from this source, which might offer hints to their origin. Here, we study the relationship between these emissions using simultaneous X-ray and radio monitoring. We present new radio observations using the Arcminute Microkelvin Imager Large Array telescope at two frequency bands, 13-15.5 and 15.5-18 GHz. We also describe new X-ray observations performed using the XMM-Newton telescope. These X-ray and radio observations overlapped for five hours. We find for the first time that the radio and X-ray emission are correlated up to 81 per cent with their few percent variability correlated up to 40 per cent. We discuss possible physical scenarios that produces the observed correlations and variability in the radio and X-ray emission of LS I +61°303.

description: The Guadalupian succession of the Huqf area (Sultanate of Oman) represents a mega-sequence comprising the fluvial terrigenous Gharif Formation and the overlying marine Khuff Formation. The Khuff Fm. is subdivided into four members and is composed of marls and bioclastic limestones. The Khuff Fm. yields a rich fauna of brachiopods, conodonts, foraminifers, bivalves, gastropods, ostracods and cephalopods. The brachiopod fauna of the Khuff Fm. includes strophomenids, productids, orthids and terebratulids. The associated conodont fauna includes Hindeodus excavatus Behnken, Merrilina sp., M. praedivergens Kozur & Mostler, and Sweetina n. sp. (systematic descriptions of conodonts are given in the Paleontological Appendix). Foraminifers are represented by species of Miliolina and Rotaliina. The Khuff Fm. is given a Wordian age, based on brachiopods and conodonts. The depositional environment of the Khuff Fm. of southeastern Oman corresponds to the outer shelf of a large carbonate platform covering most of the Arabian Platform. The Khuff Fm. is interpreted as a major transgressive-regressive cycle related to differential subsidence.

We find upper limits on the standard parameters for the deviation from an ellipse of |a_3/a_0|<0.023, 0.019, 0.037, and 0.035, and |a_4/a_0|<0.034, 0.041, 0.051, and 0.064 for SDSS J0924+0219, HE0435-1223, B1938+666, and PG1115+080, respectively. We find that the lens galaxies are at the centers of their dark matter halos, and obtain upper limits for the offset of each center of mass from the center of light of |Delta x|<0.004, 0.005, 0.009, and 0.005 arcsec, corresponding to 22, 29, 70, and 23 pc. These limits also exclude the possibility of any significant lopsidednessof the dark matter halos and set an upper limit of f_sat

description: Η απεικόνιση της Νίκης είναι ιδιαίτερα συχνή στα νομίσματα, αλλά και γενικότερα στην τέχνη της υστερορωμαϊκής περιόδου. Πρόκειται για μια εικονογραφία με πολιτικά και θρησκευτικά μηνύματα, που έχοντας αρχαιοελληνικές και ρωμαϊκές ρίζες διαμορφώνεται σταδιακά και κληρονομείται στους πρώτους βυζαντινούς αυτοκράτορες. Η Νίκη παριστάνεται μόνη της ή ως συνοδεία της αυτοκρατορικής μορφής σε ποικίλους εικονογραφικούς συνδυασμούς. Τα σύμβολα που τη συνοδεύουν είναι κυρίως το στεφάνι, το κλαδί φοινικιάς, το τρόπαιο και η ασπίδα, ενώ οι δευτερεύουσες μορφές που ενίοτε τη συμπληρώνουν είναι ο ερωτιδέας, ο αιχμάλωτος και οι προσωποποιήσεις των πόλεων. Ηδη από τα τέλη του 4ου αιώνα η Νίκη σταδιακά "εκχρηστιανίζεται" ενώ τελικά στις αρχές του 7ου αιώνα αντικαθίσταται πλήρως από τον "Βυζαντινό Αγγελο".
description: The depiction of victory is particularly frequent in the coins, but also more generally in the art of the post roman period. It is an iconography with political and religious messages, that having classic and roman roots is developed progressively and inherited in the first Byzantine Emperors. The Victory is depicted alone as an imperial escort in various iconographic combinations. The symbols that she holds are mainly the wreath, the palm, the trophy and the shield, while the secondary forms that occasionally suplement the depiction are the putto, the captive and also personifications of cities. Already by the dues of 4th century the Victory progressively becomes a christian symbol, while finally in the beginning of the 7th century, by the "Byzantine Angel" replaces her.
PERMIAN FUSULINID ASSEMBLAGES AND STRATIGRAPHY OF THE TRANSCAUCASIA
Creators: name: JA LEVEN, ERNST
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 1998

description: The Permian sequence of the Transcaucasia, which comprises the Davaly, Asni, Gnishik, Arpa, Khachik, and Akhura Formations, is described. A precise dating of the formations based on the analysis of fusulinid assemblages is also provided. The Davaly Formation corresponds to the Bolorian Stage of the Lower Permian (Cisuralian); the Asni Formation corresponds to the Kubergandian Stage, and to the lower half of the Murgabian Stage of the Middle Permian (Guadalupian); the Gnishik Formation corresponds approximately to the upper half of the Murgabian Stage; and the Arpa and Khachik Formations represent the entire Midian Stage of the Middle Permian. Only the uppermost Chanakhchy Beds of the Khachik Formation are referred to the upper series of the Permian (Lopingian), based on the latest proposal of the International Subcommission on Permian Stratigraphy concerning series boundaries. The Akhura Formation encompasses the Dzhulfian and Dorashamian Stages of the Upper Permian. Refined correlations between the Permian sequence of the Transcaucasia and the most complete Permian sequences of the Tethyan region (Central Iran, southestern Pamirs, South China, Japan ) are presented. The transgressive overlapping of the Permian deposits is recorded in these areas, similar to the Transcaucasia. Although the transgression began during the Bolorian, it reached the widest extent in the Kubergandian and therefore, in most sections the transgressive series begins with deposits of Kubergandian age. The Middle and Upper Permian deposits of the Transcaucasia, Iran, and southern Turkey belonged to a single carbonate platform. Similar extensive carbonate platforms are recorded in the southern parts of Afghanistan and China. A change in the sedimentary regime was recorded in all these platforms at the boundary between the Guadalupian and Lopingian epochs. The Guadalupian time was marked by the intensive accumulation of biolitithic and detrital limestones produced by benthic organisms, mainly algae and foraminifers, whereas in the Lopingian time, carbonate and clayey micritic deposition dominated, and the role of nectonic-planctonic and nectonic organisms, such as cephalopods and conodonts, increased. The sedimentation change was abrupt and caused probably by the short-term post-Midian regression. The change resulted in a significant biotic crisis when larger fusulinids, goniatitids and agoniatitids, tabulate corals, most rugose corals and other organisms became entirely extinct. These events marked the onset of the Late Permian "Great Extinction", which ended at the Permian/Triassic boundary. Nine paleontological plates show the main fusulinid assemblages. Nine new species are described: Codonofusiella (?) vediensis, Chalaroschwagerina davalensis, Pseudofusulina arpaensis, P. araxensis, P. pjatakovae, Rugosochusenella davalensis, Misellina (Misellina) caucasica, Cancellina armenica, and Sumatrina vediensis.

Room-temperature tunnel current amplifier and experimental setup for high resolution electronic spectroscopy in millikelvin STM experiments

description: The spectroscopic resolution of tunneling measurements performed with a scanning tunneling microscope is ultimately limited by the temperature at which the experiment is performed. To take advantage of the potential high spectroscopic resolution associated with operating an STM in a dilution refrigerator we have designed a room temperature tunnel current amplifier having very small back-action on the tunnel contact and allowing to nearly reach the predicted energy resolution. This design is a modification of the standard op-amp based tip-biasing current-voltage converter which implements differential voltage sensing and whose back action on the tip voltage is only ~2 $μ$V rms for a 14 MV/A transimpedance and 22 kHz bandwidth.

description: The effects of pressure on the superconducting properties of a Bi-based layered superconductor La2O2Bi3Ag0.6Sn0.4S6, which possesses a four-layer-type conducting layer, have been studied through the electrical resistance and magnetic susceptibility measurements. The crystal structure under pressure was examined using synchrotron X-ray diffraction at SPring-8. In the low-pressure regime, bulk superconductivity with a transition temperature Tc of ~ 4.5 K was induced by pressure, which was achieved by in-plane chemical pressure effect owing to the compression of the tetragonal structure. In the high-pressure regime above 6.4 GPa, a structural symmetry lowering was observed, and superconducting transitions with a Tc ~ 8 K were observed. Our results suggest the possible commonality on the factor essential for Tc in Bi-based superconductors with two-layer-type and four-layer-type conducting layers.

CONODONTS OF THE LOWERMOST TRIASSIC OF SPITI, AND NEW ZONATION BASED ON NEOGONDOLELLA SUCCESSIONS
Creators: name: J. ORCHARD, MICHAEL
name: KRYSTYN, LEOPOLD
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 1998

description: Conodonts from the lowermost Triassic Otoceras woodwardi beds and adjacent strata of Spiti are described and compared with Permian-Triassic (P-T) boundary bed faunas from elsewhere. A new pelagic zonation based on Neogondolella is introduced: the interval characterized by N. carinata-N. taylorae is subdivided into three parts based on successive first appearances of N. meishanensis, N. krystyni Orchard n. sp. and N. discreta Orchard and Krystyn n. sp., the nominal species of three successive zones. The development of these Griesbachian species involves a progressive morphological change in the configuration of the axial part (blade-carina-cusp) of the pectiniform elements. The pelagic conodont zonation is intercalibrated with the parallel zonation based on species of Hindeodus and Isarcicella, and with ammonoid faunas from Spiti, other Himalayan localities, and the Arctic. The meishanensis Zone embraces the parvus Zone and part of the overlying staeschei Zone. Strata containing O. woodwardi in Spiti carry the indices to the staeschei and krystyni zones. The Neogondolella conodont fauna associated with Otoceras differs from that of the latest Permian Changshing Limestone of China, but resembles that from the P-T boundary transition beds at Meishan, where a meishanensis Zone of restricted scope occurs beneath the parvus datum. The faunal change which introduces the characteristic Neogondolella species of the N. carinata-N. taylorae fauna occurs at the base of the P-T boundary transition beds at Meishan, the proposed boundary stratotype. Slightly above this level, the disappearance of most Neogondolella species and the introduction of new Hindeodus species coincides with a change in conodont biofacies rather than an extinction event. In the Spiti sections, the N. carinata-N. taylorae fauna, associated at first with H. parvus (as in Selong, Tibet), persists through the entire Griesbachian. Indices of the three Neogondolella zones are also recognized in the Salt Range and the Canadian Arctic. Four new conodont species are described: Neogondolella discreta, N. kazi, N. krystyni, and N. nassichuki.

Possible magnetic-field-induced voltage and thermopower in diluted magnetic semiconductors
Creators: name: Timm, Carsten
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2006
Subjects: subject: Materials Science (cond-mat.mtrl-sci)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In diluted magnetic semiconductors, the carrier concentration and the magnetization of local moments are strongly coupled, since the magnetic interaction is mediated by the carriers. It is predicted that this coupling leads to an electric polarization due to an applied magnetic-field gradient and to the appearance of a magnetic-field-dependent voltage. An expression for this voltage is derived within Landau theory and its magnitude is estimated for (Ga,Mn)As. Furthermore, a large contribution to the thermopower based on the same mechanism is predicted. The role of fluctuations is also discussed. These predictions hold both if the magnetization is uniform and if it shows stripe-like modulations, which are possible at lower temperatures.

Development of poly(ethylene glycol)-coated vesicles as cardiovascular imaging agents for nuclear medicine
Creators: name: Utkhede, Deepank R.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The development and use of poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG)-coated vesicles as nuclear medicine blood pool imaging agents is described from the initial synthesis of chelator, through labeling of vesicles with technetium-99m ([sup 99m]Tc), to the final testing in a human subject. Using hexamethyl-propyleneamine oxime (HM-PAO) as the chelate molecule, a novel pH gradient method was developed for the rapid, robust and reproducible labeling of pre-formed vesicles with labeling efficiencies greater than 90%. In vivo (pyrogen and hemodynamic studies in rabbits) and in vitro (CH50 hemolytic assay) studies were conducted to determine the safety and tolerability of PEG-coated vesicles. Results showed that there was no significant alterations in hemodynamic parameters or activation of the complement system. Also, vesicles and the vesicle preparation procedure were found to be non-pyrogenic. In vivo studies in rabbits revealed that vesicles with 4.5 mol% PEG, exhibited both lipid dose-dependent and -independent circulation half-lives contrary to published data. A circulation half-life of ~ 15 hours was achieved at lipid dose greater than ~1.0 μmol of total lipid/kg of body weight. Based on these in vitro studies and in vivo rabbit results, a vesicle based kit was developed and tested in a human subject. The left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was calculated using labeled vesicles and was compared to the LVEF calculated with the current standard of radiolabeled autologous red blood cells (RBCs). The values were found to be similar (69% for RBCs and 73% for vesicles) indicating that PEG-coated vesicles labeled with [sup 99m]Tc are a suitable alternative to RBCs for cardiovascular imaging.
UPPER TRIASSIC AMBER FROM THE DOLOMITES (NORTHERN ITALY).A PALEOCLIMATIC INDICATOR?

description: Amber in Triassic deposits in the Dolomites is demonstrated for the first time. The amber-bearing deposits belong to the middle part of the Dürrenstein Formation, referred to uppermost Julian (Lower Carnian, about 225 My). Chemico-physical features of amber, which occurs as small yellow to reddish droplets, have been determined. Infrared (IR) spectroscopy shows typical bands of fossil resins; the "fingerprint" region of the spectrum presents a unique pattern that cannot be referred to any other known fossil resin. Palynological investigation of amber-bearing layers shows a large prevalence of bisaccates and circumpolles. Particularly, the taeniate bisaccates are frequent (41%) and suggest a correlation with the amber-producing species. Amber production and preservation is possibly related to a humid climatic event.
