description: Background: Parabens, also known as a family of alkyl esters of 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HB), are natural or synthetic compounds that have been used as powerful antimicrobial agents across multiple industries such as cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries, since the 1920s [1]. Their widespread use stems from their low cost, broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity, chemical stability, and low risk of triggering allergic reactions [2]. However, concerns have arisen regarding their potential to disrupt the endocrine system and promote chronic inflammation, classifying them as endocrine-disrupting chemicals. Chronic tissue inflammation is implicated in the pathogenesis of numerous diseases, including Diabetes mellitus (DM), often involving the activation of neutrophils [3]. Objective: This study aims to unveil the effect of commonly used parabens and their metabolite on human neutrophils in physiological and hyperglycemia conditions, a common feature of DM. Methods: Isolated human neutrophils were exposed to four parabens (methyl-, ethyl-, propyl- and butyl paraben) and their metabolite, 4-HB. The production of reactive species, a marker of neutrophils’ oxidative burst, was detected through a fluorescent probe, dihydrorhodamine 123. To disclose the mechanism involved in the production of reactive species by parabens and their metabolite, an inhibitor of NADPH oxidase, an inhibitor of myeloperoxidase (MPO), an inhibitor of protein kinase C (PKC) and an inhibitor of phospholipase C (PLC) were tested. Results: In general, it was demonstrated that parabens induced neutrophils’ oxidative burst similarly under both physiological and hyperglycemic conditions. The mechanism of action of parabens involves the activation of PLC, followed by the subsequent activation of PKC, ultimately leading to the activation of NADPH oxidase and MPO. No effects were observed with the exposure of neutrophils to 4-HB. Conclusions: This study provides insights into the mechanisms by which parabens modulate neutrophil function under physiological and hyperglycemic conditions, potentially contributing to our understanding of their role in DM.

description: A new radial time projection chamber based on Gas Electron Multiplier amplification layers was developed for the BONuS12 experiment in Hall B at Jefferson Lab. This device represents a significant evolutionary development over similar devices constructed for previous experiments, including cylindrical amplification layers constructed from single continuous GEM foils with less than 1\% dead area. Particular attention had been paid to producing excellent geometric uniformity of all electrodes, including the very thin metalized polyester film of the cylindrical cathode. This manuscript describes the design, construction, and performance of this new detector.

description: Math Word Problem (MWP) solving presents a challenging task in Natural Language Processing (NLP). This study aims to provide MWP solvers with a more diverse training set, ultimately improving their ability to solve various math problems. We propose several methods for data augmentation by modifying the problem texts and equations, such as synonym replacement, rule-based: question replacement, and rule based: reversing question methodologies over two English MWP datasets. This study extends by introducing a new in-context learning augmentation method, employing the Llama-7b language model. This approach involves instruction-based prompting for rephrasing the math problem texts. Performance evaluations are conducted on 9 baseline models, revealing that augmentation methods outperform baseline models. Moreover, concatenating examples generated by various augmentation methods further improves performance.

description: Microstructural observations and mineral thermometry from in situ samples collected from the Atlantis Bank oceanic core complex (SW Indian Ridge) indicate that detachment faulting was initiated under hypersolidus conditions in the ductile regime and continued through subgreenschist temperatures through the ductile, semibrittle, and brittle regimes as strain localized along the exposed, now subhorizontal fault surface. Ductile, semibrittle, and brittle fabrics are developed within dominantly gabbroic rocks. Footwall rocks exhibit crystal plastic fabrics distributed over a structural thickness up to 400 m below the denuded fault surface exposed at the seafloor, whereas semibrittle and brittle fabrics are concentrated in the 80 and 30 m immediately below the principal slip surface of the detachment fault, respectively. Sample fabrics suggest that strain localization was achieved by dynamic recrystallization of plagioclase at temperatures between 910°C and 650°C, by amphibole-accommodated dissolution-precipitation creep at temperatures ~750°C-450°C, by chlorite-accommodated reaction softening at temperatures ~450°C-300°C, and by brittle fracturing and cataclasis at temperatures <300°C.

description: Background: Subcellular location of purine catabolism enzymes is of great interest in comparative studies due to the significant variability among species [1]. This metabolic pathway reflects in large extent a phylogenetic evolution with the loss of several enzymes in certain species, resulting in differences in the end products that are excreted [2]. Particularly in fishes, some of those enzymes are described as cytosolic for some species and as peroxisomal for others. In relation to purine catabolism enzymes in brown trout liver, published data points that urate oxidase is a peroxisomal enzyme, consistent with findings in other vertebrates [1,2]. Objective: This study aims to identify the subcellular location of some purine catabolism enzymes in crude cell fractions of brown trout liver. Methods: A centrifugal fractionation technique was applied to obtain crude cell fractions, followed by spectrophotometric measurement of enzyme activities. Assays included xanthine oxidase/xanthine dehydrogenase, allantoinase, and allantoicase, alongside organelle marker enzymes, such as succinate dehydrogenase (mitochondria), arylsulphatase (lysosomes), catalase and D-aminoacid oxidase (peroxisomes) and NADPH cytochrome c reductase (microsomes). Results: Xanthine oxidase and allantoicase activities were undetectable in brown trout liver fractions. This observation is consistent with the notion that certain organisms possess the xanthine oxidoreductase enzyme primarily in the xanthine dehydrogenase form or exclusively in this form. Over 85% of xanthine dehydrogenase and allantoinase activities were recovered in the supernatant fraction. Conclusions: The paucity of organelle marker enzymes in the cytosolic fraction of brown trout liver suggests that both xanthine dehydrogenase and allantoinase are cytosolic enzymes, with high recovered activities in the supernatant fraction. The absence of allantoicase activity in brown trout supports allantoic acid as the final purine catabolism product in salmonids [2].

Of the 16 slice strongly negative amphichiral knots with 12 or fewer crossings, our obstructions show that 8 are not equivariantly slice, we exhibit equivariant ribbon diagrams for 5 others, and the remaining 3 are unknown. Finally, we give an obstruction to a knot being strongly negative amphichiral in terms of Heegaard Floer correction terms.

description: Background: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a prevalent neuropsychiatric disorder in childhood and adolescence [1]. Differences in brain structure, function, and connectivity were seen between ADHD and healthy individuals [2,3] but the underlying cellular and neurobiological mechanisms of ADHD are not fully understood [3,4]. Objective: To evaluate how clinically relevant oral doses of methylphenidate (MPH), a first-line ADHD treatment, affect body growth and the expression of brain proteins involved in synaptic plasticity, integrity, and neuronal growth. Methods: Wistar-Kyoto rats (18 males and 19 females) were randomly assigned to two groups. The treated group received a daily dose of MPH (5mg/kg in a 5% sucrose solution) by gavage, while the control group received an equivalent volume of 5% sucrose solution [5]. Administration began on postnatal day 15 (equivalent to childhood in humans) and lasted for 15 days, with the doses adjusted individually based on the animal’s weight (25g per 100 microL of drug or vehicle). The animal’s weight was monitored throughout the experiment. On postnatal day 30, the animals were sacrificed, the brain was dissected in separate relevant areas. Liver, heart, and kidneys were also collected. Subsequently, the brain areas were processed by Western Blotting. Results: No statistically significant changes in body and peripheral organ weight were noticed among the control and treated groups in either males or female rats. Furthermore, MPH did not affect the expression of GAP43 and PSD95 proteins in the diencephalon and prefrontal cortex. Moreover, no notable sex differences were observed for these same parameters. Conclusions: Although MPH induced no significant changes in the analyzed parameters in males, females and even no sex related changes, further investigation into new brain areas, markers, and mainly ADHD models is crucial to understand the role of MPH on development.

description: Aims: This work aims to identify the mechanism driving pulsations in hard X-ray (HXR) and microwave emission during solar flares. Here, by using combined HXR and microwave observations from Solar Orbiter/STIX and EOVSA we investigate an X1.3 GOES class flare, 2022-03-30T17:21:00, which displays pulsations on timescales evolving from ~ 7 s in the impulsive phase to ~ 35 s later in the flare.
 Methods: The temporal, spatial and spectral evolution of the HXR and microwave pulsations during the impulsive phase of the flare are analysed. Images are reconstructed for individual peaks in the impulsive phase and spectral fitting is performed at high cadence throughout the first phase of pulsations.
 Results: Imaging analysis demonstrates that the HXR and microwave emission originates from multiple sites along the flare ribbons. The brightest sources and the location of the emission changes in time. Through HXR spectral analysis, the electron spectral index is found to be anti-correlated with the HXR flux showing a "soft-hard-soft" spectral index evolution for each pulsation. The timing of the associated filament eruption coincides with the early impulsive phase.
 Conclusions: Our results indicate that periodic acceleration and/or injection of electrons from multiple sites along the flare arcade is responsible for the pulsations observed in HXR and microwave. The evolution of pulsation timescales is likely a result of changes in the 3D magnetic field configuration in time related to the associated filament eruption.

description: sensitive grasslands, however, the effect of V. dubia invasion on soil biota, such as arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi is unknown. In a greenhouse experiment we evaluated the impact of invasion by V. dubia on the mycorrhizal inoculation potential of AM fungi using Zea mays grown with field-collected soil inocula for six-weeks. Inocula was collected from the root zone of two focal species: V. dubia and Pseudoroegneria spicata (bluebunch wheatgrass) in field plots varying in invasion levels; ‘Native’ (<10% cover of V. dubia), ‘Invaded’ (>90% cover V. dubia), and ‘Transition’, (30-40% cover of V. dubia). We measured plant species cover in each plot to assess the impact of V. dubia invasion on native plant communities and collected soil samples to measure soil pH and % organic matter (OM). We predicted (1) that plants inoculated with soils from Native plots would have higher mycorrhizal colonization levels in roots compared to plants inoculated with soils from Invaded and/or Transition plots; (2) plant species richness and diversity would be lower in plots invaded by V. dubia. We also predicted that that soil variables may help explain differences in plant communities among plots. We found that V. dubia invasion did not affect mycorrhizal inoculation potential, nor negatively affect native plant communities, but that soil pH and % OM may explain differences in plant communities among invasion levels. Observed differences in plant communities and soil abiotic factors in areas invaded by V. dubia highlight the need for additional research on this invasive annual grass and its impact on aboveground and belowground systems.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.An unusually high abundance of long-finned squid (Loligo pealeii) at Newfoundland in 2000 is described. Prevalence of maturing females and mature males within samples, together with the collection of a single viable egg mop, provide the first evidence of spawning of this species at the northern limit of its geographic range of distribution. Trends in size and abundance of short-finned squid (Illex illecebrosus) suggest that this northward expansion of the long-finned squid population may be related to relief of competition. Trends in local water temperature at Newfoundland suggest that this phenomenon may also be related to environmental variation. We apply time series analysis, with biological and environmental input variables, to each of long-finned and short-finned squid to address the hypothesis that these two species share, to a large extent, a common niche on the Northeast USA Shelf and that opposing responses to ecosystem variation regulate their relative abundance. The resultant models indicate that broad-scale atmospheric forcing reflected in variation in the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) index is the basic cause of oceanographic variation that affects both species. While these two species exhibit opposing responses to variation in atmospheric forcing, direct mechanisms that regulate year class strength remain unknown. It is quite possible that mechanisms differ between the two species, with local variables directly affecting long-finned squid and broad-scale factors affecting short-finned squid. The expansion of the long-finned squid population in 2000 was associated with an unusual eastward displacement of an intense NAO that may have resulted in unfavourable oceanic conditions for short-finned squid but favourable environmental conditions for long-finned squid on the continental shelf as far north as southern Newfoundland.

description: Background: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a pathology that ranks seventh among the most common causes of cancer mortality worldwide [1]. Importantly, drug resistance is a major clinical problem for patients with PDAC. Unfortunately, few efficient therapeutic options are available for this type of resistant cancer, and the standard chemotherapy remains gemcitabine or gemcitabine combined with paclitaxel [2,3]. Our research group identified Chitinase-3-Like 1 (CHI3L1) as being involved in reducing PDAC drug response in vitro [4], suggesting that combining CHI3L1 inhibitors with conventional chemotherapy may overcome PDAC drug resistance. Objective: The main objective is to assess the antitumor and chemosensitising effect of selonsertib (a compound currently in phase III clinical trial for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy and kidney fibrosis) on PDAC sensitive and resistant cell lines. Methods: The effect of gemcitabine (positive control) and selonsertib in the PANC1 PDAC cell line was evaluated with the Sulforhodamine B (SRB) assay. Then, the GI50 concentrations (that inhibits 50% of cell growth) after 48 h incubation were determined from the drug response curves. The effect of selonsertib in a resistant counterpart cell line to PANC1 (PANC1-CDR resistant to gemcitabine, recently established in our laboratory, unpublished results) is being evaluated. Results: Our data demonstrated that gemcitabine inhibited the growth of PANC1 cells with a GI50 of 0.76±0.1 µM, which is in agreement with the literature. Interestingly, selonsertib efficiently inhibited the growth of PANC1 cells with a GI50 of 9.5±3.3 µM. The effect of selonsertib on the growth of the resistant PANC1-CDR cell line is being determined. Conclusions: In this work, we showed the antitumor potential of selonsertib in the PANC1 PDAC cell line (that harbors KRAS mutation and has an aggressive phenotype). Future work will evaluate the effect of selonsertib on other PDAC cell lines (with different genetic backgrounds) and on the PANC1-CDR resistant cell line. Moreover, we expect to disclose the chemosentitizing effect of selonsertib in PDAC sensitive and resistant cells.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Census of Marine Life seeks to assess and explain diversity, distribution and abundance of life in the world’s oceans through an international research program, quantifying organisms at species level using modern techniques. It is the first such program aimed at providing a baseline for the living elements of earth’s largest habitat. It is creating an Ocean Biogeog aphic Information System (OBIS) dynamic database to capture Census output and display biodiversity and distribution data in relation to ocean physics. Currently, six pilot projects are calibrating techniques to be applied during the Census decade. The legacy of OBIS will be a powerful tool for solving problems and modeling future ecosystems. Although cephalopod biodiversity is not as high as many groups, their biomass is a major component of poorly studied ocean habitats. The Census will increase sampling intensity to reveal new species, quantify known ones and examine genetic variability. CephBase, one of the first OBIS components, is concentrating current knowledge of cephalopod distributions and will be key in documenting their roles in ecosystems. Cephalopod opportunities in pilot projects will be discussed.

description: It is well established now that the generalized parton distributions (GPDs) at zero skewness are playing important roles in some physical process such as elastic electron-nucleon scattering, elastic (anti)neutrino-nucleon scattering, and wide-angle Compton scattering (WACS) via various types of form factors (FFs). In this study, we are going to utilize the recent JLab measurements of the elastic electron-nucleon scattering reduced cross-section, namely GMp12, as a touchstone to unravel the tension observed between the measurements of the WACS cross-section and the data of the proton magnetic FF $ G_M^p $. We also investigate the impact of GMp12 data on valence unpolarized GPDs $ H_v^q $ and $ E_v^q $ at zero skewness by performing some $ χ^2 $ analyses of the related experimental data. By calculating the electric and scalar quadrupole ratios, $ R_{EM} $ and $ R_{SM} $, and magnetic transition FF $ G^*_M/3G_D $ related to the nucleon-to-delta ($ N\rightarrow Δ$) transition using the extracted GPDs and comparing the results with corresponding experimental measurements, we show that our results are in an excellent consistency with experiments, indicating the universality property of GPDs. We emphasize that the inclusion of these data in the future analysis of GPDs can significantly affect the extracted GPDs especially their uncertainties at smaller values of $ Q^2 $.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Patagonian longfin squid Loligo gahi undertakes spatial ontogenetic migrations on the Falkland shelf: juveniles move from spawning grounds located in shallow, inshore waters (20-50 m depths) to feeding grounds near the shelf edge (200-350 m depths). Immature squid feed and grow in these offshore feeding grounds and, upon maturation, migrate back to inshore waters to spawn. To investigate the possible influence of environmental factors on L. gahi migrations oceanographic transects, crossing the region of L. gahi occurrence, were made from the inshore waters of East Falkland eastwards to depths of 1250 m on a monthly basis from 1999 to 2001. Four main water types were found in the region: shelf, subantarctic superficial and antarctic intermediate water masses, and transient zone waters. The inshore spawning grounds fall in the shelf water mass, whereas the feeding squid (medium-sized immature and maturing individuals) were associated with the transient zone. The isotherm of 5.5°C marked the limit of squid penetration into deeper waters in all seasons. Seasonal changes in water mass characteristics and location, and corresponding seasonal changes in L. gahi migrations, were also studied.

Exploring the complex web of body measurements: what is the relationship between human height and cranial and facial measurements?
Creators: name: Silva Santos, Diana

Publisher: name: Scientific Letters

description: Background: Some studies focusing on craniometric analysis have been conducted, and not all of them seem to agree with their conclusions. For instance, Sarangi et al. (1981) and Introna et al. (1993) [1]: the former argues that there is no significant correlation between stature and cranial measurements, while the latter believes in such a relationship, developing a regression formula for stature estimation from the skull. In fact, subsequent works, such as those by Chiba and Terazawa (1998) and Patil and Mody (2005) [2-3], have supported Introna et al.'s conclusions, endorsing the establishment of the mentioned correlation. Nevertheless, for the Portuguese population, there are still few methods correlating the stature estimated by mathematical methods with cranial dimensions. Objective: To assess the existence of a relationship between the estimated stature from the femur and humerus with cranial and facial measurements in a sample of Portuguese skeletons. Methods: Twenty skeletons were studied, of which 14 (70%) were male. The following measurements were taken: total length of the humerus, maximum length of the femur, physiological length of the femur, maximum length of the skull, maximum width of the skull, maximum height of the skull, and upper facial height. Stature was calculated by applying the mathematical models by Mendonça (2000) [4], using the physiological length of the left femur and the maximum length of the left humerus. The chi-square test was used to assess any potential association between the cranial measurements under consideration and the estimated stature, while Spearman's correlation was applied to establish correlations between cranial measurements and estimated stature. Results: No significant associations were found between the cranial measurements taken and the estimated stature using any of the models, in both sexes (p>0.05). However, in terms of correlation, in males, the maximum height of the skull showed a moderate and statistically significant correlation with stature (0.658, p=0.011 for stature estimated with the humerus, and 0.633, p=0.015 for stature estimated using the femur). In females, the highest correlation value with estimated stature was -0.725, with the maximum width of the skull, followed by the maximum length of the skull (-0.464), both values lacking statistical significance (p>0.05). Conclusions: The obtained results show a correlation between the maximum height of the skull and stature in men, whereas this correlation is not observed in women; it is acknowledged that these differences may be related to sampling issues, particularly sample size. Despite being a preliminary study with a small sample size, it became evident that the relationship between estimated human stature using the femur and humerus, and cranial and facial measurements is worth exploring.

description: For a simple real Lie group $G$ with Heisenberg parabolic subgroup $P$, we study the corresponding degenerate principal series representations. For a certain induction parameter the kernel of the conformally invariant system of second order differential operators constructed by Barchini, Kable and Zierau is a subrepresentation which turns out to be the minimal representation. To study this subrepresentation, we take the Heisenberg group Fourier transform in the non-compact picture and show that it yields a new realization of the minimal representation on a space of $L^2$-functions. The Lie algebra action is given by differential operators of order $\leq3$ and we find explicit formulas for the functions constituting the lowest $K$-type.
 These $L^2$-models were previously known for the groups $\operatorname{SO}(n,n)$, $E_{6(6)}$, $E_{7(7)}$ and $E_{8(8)}$ by Kazhdan and Savin, for the group $G_{2(2)}$ by Gelfand, and for the group $\widetilde{\operatorname{SL}}(3,\mathbb{R})$ by Torasso, using different methods. Our new approach provides a uniform and systematic treatment of these cases and also constructs new $L^2$-models for $E_{6(2)}$, $E_{7(-5)}$ and $E_{8(-24)}$ for which the minimal representation is a continuation of the quaternionic discrete series, and for the groups $\widetilde{\operatorname{SO}}(p,q)$ with either $p\geq q=3$ or $p,q\geq4$ and $p+q$ even.
 As a byproduct of our construction, we find an explicit formula for the group action of a non-trivial Weyl group element that, together with the simple action of a parabolic subgroup, generates $G$.

description: In this work we study the inversion temperature associated with the Joule-Thomson expansion from the thermodynamics of AdS-Reissner-Nördstrom black holes. We include quantum corrections in a cosmological fluid that can describe phantom dark matter or quintessence, both in a Kiselev scenario. The description of such physical systems involves numerical solutions and the results are presented as temperature-pressure plots for various values of the parameters of our model. We find non-zero minimum inversion temperatures as well as non-zero minimum pressures depending on the values of those parameters. Completing our study, we also find isenthalpic curves associated with black hole fixed mass processes.
description: V2: 18 pages, 7 figures. In this version, we included a discussion of the First Law and a deduction of equations with a non-zero pressure even at zero inversion temperature that explain our (unchanged) numerical results. This version matches the published one in PRD

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The Argentine short-fin squid Illex argentinus (Castellanos) inhabits both shelf and oceanic waters off eastern South America between 20° and 55°S, and eastward to 40-45°W. Within this range the population structure is quite complicated. Three major intraspecific groups are recognised by most authors, though with slightly different definitions depending on the material used: Winter-spawning slope group = Southpatagonian stock (SPS), the Winter-spawning shelf group = the Bonaerensis-northpatagonian stock (BNS), and Summer spawning group/stock (SSS) (Brunetti, 1988, Haimovici et al., 1998; Carvalho, Nigmatullin, 1998; Arkhipkin, 2000). The minor Southern Brazil stock (SBS) and Spring Spawning group (SSG) were recognised by Haimovici et al., (1998) and Brunetti (1988) respectively. It is very probable that both of these are extensions of the BNS (Haimovici et al., 1998; Carvalho, Nigmatullin, 1998).

description: Background: "Tackling P.L.A.N.E.T." (“Promoting Living Affordably and Nurturing Environmental Transformation”) is a pioneering sustainability initiative that was launched in September 2023 at University Institute of Health Sciences (IUCS) Campus. This initiative embodies an intentional, inclusive, transformative, and proactive Action Plan aimed at cultivating healthy and sustainable behaviors throughout the campus. It is intended to create an internal model that will help identify gaps and opportunities, understand where and how behaviors can be improved, aligning with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Objective: Higher education institutions play a fundamental role in the intellectual and social development of students, but they also have a significant impact on the environment. They generate a considerable amount of waste, the management of which is essential to minimize the environmental impact. The knowledge of which, how much, when and why are reagents used in the lab classes is absolutely fundamental to a sustainable change and is the main objective of this work [1]. Methods: Laboratory protocols carried out in the curricular units throughout IUCS Forensics Science Degree in the last three years were collected and analyzed. Information about chemicals and quantities used were collected. Results: Preliminary results show that about 50% of the curricular units (19 out of 39) have lab work with more than 200 different chemical reagents. From the 611 hours of classes, 182 are dedicated to lab work. Strong acids and bases are used frequently, as well as very strong oxidants. Additionally, organic solvents as chloroform, dichloromethane and ether are used in large quantities for extraction procedures. Conclusions: Preliminary data show that a lot of waste is produced during laboratory experimental works. It is important to adjust protocols to substitute more hazardous substances, reduce and recycle organic solvents. By collecting this information, we will be able to propose guidelines to reduce lab waste and contribute to a more sustainable form of teaching and learning.

description: The ridge crest at 9°N-10°N East Pacific Rise (EPR) is dominated by overlapping lava flows that have overflowed the axial summit trough and flowed off-axis, forming a shingle-patterned terrain up to ~2-4 km on either side of the axial summit trough. In this study, we employ 230Th- 226Ra dating methods, in conjunction with geochemistry and seafloor geological observations, in an effort to discern the stratigraphic relationships between adjacent flows. We measured major and trace elements and 87Sr/86Sr, 143Nd/144Nd, 176Hf/177Hf, and 238U-230Th- 226Ra for lava glass samples collected from several flow units up to ~2 km away from the axial summit trough on the ridge crest at 9°50'N EPR. Statistical analysis of the 238U- 230Th-226Ra data indicates that all but one measured sample from these flows cannot be resolved from the zero-age population; thus, we cannot confidently assign model ages to samples for discerning stratigraphic relationships among flows. However, because groups of samples can be distinguished based on similarities in geochemical compositions, particularly incompatible element abundances with high precision-normalized variability such as U and Th, and because the range of compositions is much greater than that represented by samples from the 1991-1992 and 2005-2006 eruptions, we suggest that the dive samples represent 6-10 eruptive units despite indistinguishable model ages. Geochemical variability between individual flows with similar ages requires relatively rapid changes in parental melt composition over the past ~2 ka, and this likely reflects variations in the relative mixing proportions of depleted and enriched melts derived from a heterogeneous mantle source.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The English Channel Loliginid squid stock (ICES divisions VIId and VIIe) is composed of two species, Loligo forbesi and Loligo vulgaris, which are not distinguished by fishermen. Reported catches are almost exclusively made by French and British multispecies bottom trawlers. Monthly sampling in the Port-en-Bessin fish market provided biological data about exploited stages which enable evaluation of catch per species, estimation of catch in numbers and analysis of length frequencies. This paper presents new species-specific assessments of cohorts 1993 to 1996. Two methods are used with different underlying assumptions. Depletion estimates of recruitment are based on the analysis of an abundance index (CPUE) in relation to cumulative catch. An analytical approach is also developed using polymodal decomposition of length structures in the context of a given growth curve to obtain catch-at-age data. Both depletion estimates of stock size and cohort analysis estimates show that recruitment can vary by a factor of 5. Fishing mortality estimates from cohort analysis indicate an exploitation diagram relatively stable between years in the predominant species. These parameters are integrated in a Thomson and Bell model to simulate production and biomass of the exploited populations and to generate a diagnostic of the impact of the fishery.
