description: This paper deals with the geological mapping of the late-Variscan Sàrrabus pluton, (south-eastern Sardinia), a shallow multiple and composite igneous complex dominated by several generations of granodiorites, metaluminous and peraluminous granites and repeated pulses of mantle-derived mafic magmas. The map has been compiled based on geological surveys at 1:10,000 and 1:5,000 scales, assisted by in situ gamma-ray spectrometry and detailed petrographic investigations. Granite-related ore deposits have been also reported. The emplacement age of the pluton can be constrained by U/Pb dating on zircons of Cala Regina granodiorite, yielding an age of 286 ± 9 Ma. The resulting scenario documents a bimodal magmatism controlled by an EW trending shear zone, followed by the shallower emplacement of several pulses of independent granite magmas.

description: We introduce two new concepts of convergence of gradient systems (Q,Eε,Rε) to a limiting gradient system (Q,E0,R0). These new concepts are called ‘EDP convergence with tilting’ and ‘contact–EDP convergence with tilting.’ Both are based on the energy-dissipation-principle (EDP) formulation of solutions of gradient systems and can be seen as refinements of the Gamma-convergence for gradient flows first introduced by Sandier and Serfaty. The two new concepts are constructed in order to avoid the ‘unnatural’ limiting gradient structures that sometimes arise as limits in EDP convergence. EDP convergence with tilting is a strengthening of EDP convergence by requiring EDP convergence for a full family of ‘tilted’ copies of (Q,Eε,Rε). It avoids unnatural limiting gradient structures, but many interesting systems are non-convergent according to this concept. Contact–EDP convergence with tilting is a relaxation of EDP convergence with tilting and still avoids unnatural limits but applies to a broader class of sequences (Q,Eε,Rε). In this paper, we define these concepts, study their properties, and connect them with classical EDP convergence. We illustrate the different concepts on a number of test problems.

description: Landslide inventories provide the knowledge basis for many geomorphological applications and also planning and emergency management. Detailed landslide inventories should also be prepared where pre-existing inventories are available, as knowledge updates. In this paper, we present a new geomorphological landslide inventory for an area of the High Agri Valley, Southern Italian Apennines. The map was prepared through systematic interpretation of historical aerial photographs testing extensive use of anaglyph glasses in StereoPhoto Maker freeware. A total of 2124 landslides were classified based on the type of movement, estimated depth, estimated relative age and three levels of uncertainty, providing landslide attributes and map constraints useful for land planning and hazard studies. The map also documents the relationships between landslides and fluvial landforms of different generations, recording important information to investigate the geomorphological evolution of the area further. We expect that landslide mapping in similar environments will benefit from the workflow here presented.

description: The shift from fossil carbon sources to renewable ones is vital for developing sustainable chemical processes to produce valuable chemicals. In this work, value-added formamides were synthesized in good yields by the reaction of amines with C2 and C3 biomass-based platform molecules such as glycolic acid, 1,3-dihydroxyacetone and glyceraldehyde. These feedstocks were selectively converted by catalysts based on Cu-containing zeolite 5A through the in situ formation of carbonyl-containing intermediates. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first example in which all the carbon atoms in biomass-based feedstocks could be amidated to produce formamide. Combined catalyst characterization results revealed preferably single CuII sites on the surface of Cu/5A, some of which form small clusters, but without direct linking via oxygen bridges. By combining the results of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spin-trapping, operando attenuated total reflection (ATR) IR spectroscopy and control experiments, it was found that the formation of formamides might involve a HCOOH-like intermediate and .NHPh radicals, in which the selective formation of .OOH radicals might play a key role. © 2021 The Authors.

description: This paper presents a geomorphological map of the seafloor north east of the Maltese Islands (Central Mediterranean) at a scale of 1:50,000. The map was compiled following the integration, analysis and interpretation of several high-resolution seafloor bathymetry datasets. Several structural features, coastal and marine landforms and anthropogenic features have been mapped. Most of the mapped submerged landforms – including fluvial, gravity-induced and karst landforms – appear to have been formed during the sea-level lowstand of the last glacial cycle. The map provides valuable insights on the submerged landscape of the Maltese Islands and its evolution since the Last Glacial Maximum.

description: Hydrologic parameters, such as porosity, salinity, and hydraulic conductivity are keys for understanding the subsurface. Hydrogeophysical investigations can lead to ambiguous results, particularly in the presence of clay and saltwater. A combination of magnetic resonance sounding and vertical electrical sounding is known to provide insight into these properties. Structural coupling increases the model resolution and reduces the ambiguity for both methods. Inversion schemes using block models exist, but they have trouble resolving smooth or complex parameter distributions. We have developed a structurally coupled cooperative inversion (SCCI) that works with smooth parameter distributions and is able to introduce blocky features through the exchange of structural information. The coupling adapts the smoothness constraint locally in connection to the model roughness to allow for sharper model boundaries. We investigate the performance of the SCCI using blocky and smooth synthetic models that depend on two controlling coupling parameters. A well-known field case is used to verify the results with drilling core and well logs. Varying the coupling parameters results in equivalent models covering the bandwidth from smooth to blocky, while providing a similar data fit. The SCCI results are more consistent with the synthetic models. Structural coupling improves the resolution of the single methods and can be used to describe hydrogeophysical targets in more detail and less ambiguously.

description: This paper presents a map describing the main geomorphological and sedimentological features, hydrodynamics, benthic habitat distributions and human impact on the coastal and marine areas of the Archipelago of La Maddalena (NE Sardinia, western Mediterranean). This cartography is based on an interdisciplinary sea-land approach, with the aim being to support sustainable and successful beach management in the face of a changing climate and environment, thereby contributing to the achievement of the Agenda 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (13, 14 and 15). In the Main Map (1:14,000 scale), the static and dynamic features of the beach systems and adjacent inner shelf are divided into thematic sections that include the geomorphological elements, hydrodynamics, sedimentological distributions, benthic habitat (mainly Posidonia oceanica meadow) and anthropogenic impacts. The map establishes a fundamental, multidisciplinary benchmark that is able to provide substantial scientific support to policymakers in relation to future vulnerability-assessment activities and the definition of land-management strategies.

description: This study quantifies current and potential future changes in transpiration, evaporation, interception loss and river discharge in response to land use change, irrigation and climate change, by performing several distinct simulations within the consistent hydrology and biosphere modeling framework LPJmL (Lund-Potsdam-Jena managed Land). We distinguished two irrigation simulations: a water limited one in which irrigation was restricted by local renewable water resources (ILIM), and a potential one in which no such limitation was assumed but withdrawals from deep groundwater or remote rivers allowed (IPOT). We found that the effect of historical land use change as compared to potential natural vegetation was pronounced, including a reduction in interception loss and transpiration by 25.9% and 10.6%, respectively, whereas river discharge increased by 6.6% (climate conditions of 1991-2000). Furthermore, we estimated that about 1170km3yr-1 of irrigation water could be withdrawn from local renewable water resources (in ILIM), which resulted in a reduction of river discharge by 1.5%. However, up to 1660km3yr-1 of water withdrawals were required in addition under the assumption that optimal growth of irrigated crops was sustained (IPOT), which resulted in a slight net increase in global river discharge by 2.0% due to return flows. Under the HadCM3 A2 climate and emission scenario, climate change alone will decrease total evapotranspiration by 1.5% and river discharge by 0.9% in 2046-2055 compared to 1991-2000 average due to changes in precipitation patterns, a decrease in global precipitation amount, and the net effect of CO2 fertilization. A doubling of agricultural land in 2046-2055 compared to 1991-2000 average as proposed by the IMAGE land use change scenario will result in a decrease in total evapotranspiration by 2.5% and in an increase in river discharge by 3.9%. That is, the effects of land use change in the future will be comparable in magnitude to the effects of climate change in this particular scenario. On present irrigated areas future water withdrawal will increase especially in regions where climate changes towards warmer and dryer conditions will be pronounced.

description: The Capiru Group is a Neoproterozoic metasedimentary unit that crops out in the Curitiba terrane, Southern Ribeira Belt, Brazil. A detailed geological mapping of this unit was performed during 2016 to 2020. Original interpretations and the new geological map were compiled and integrated with the past field data of the state (MINEROPAR) and national (CPRM) geological surveys, and to unpublished and recent published studies. This compilation represents the most updated synthesis of the Capiru Group, and provides the basis for recognition and individualization of lithostratigraphic units. The lithostratigraphic units reflect depositional/tectonic events, which involved: a) passive continental margin deposition on the Curitiba microplate, b) compressional episodes during the Brasiliano - Pan African Orogeny (Late Neoproterozoic), c) extensional processes that followed the collision stage (Cambrian), and finally, the d) extensional tectonics related to the Gondwana break-up during the Lower Cretaceous, that culminated to the Proto-Atlantic Ocean opening.

description: In this study, an artificial neural network is designed and trained to predict the elastic properties of short fiber reinforced plastics. The results of finite element simulations of three-dimensional representative volume elements are used as a data basis for the neural network. The fiber volume fraction, fiber length, matrix-phase properties, and fiber orientation are varied so that the neural network can be used within a very wide range of parameters. A comparison of the predictions of the neural network with additional finite element simulations shows that the stiffnesses of short fiber reinforced plastics can be predicted very well by the neural network. The average prediction accuracy is equal or better than by a two-step homogenization using the classical method of Mori and Tanaka. Moreover, it is shown that the training of the neural network on an extended data set works well and that particularly calculation-intensive data points can be avoided without loss of prediction quality.

description: In 2003, 2006–2009, 2014 and 2015, seven oceanographic cruises were carried out on board the Spanish R/V Hespérides in the Cantabrian Margin and the adjacent abyssal plains, covering an area of 219,124 km2. Based on the combined analysis and interpretation of the bathymetric and reflectivity data obtained with multibeam echo sounders (SIMRAD EM12, EM120 and EM1002), and ultra-high-resolution reflection seismic records acquired with the SIMRAD TOPAS PS18 parametric sounder, the mapping of the acoustic facies or echo-character at a scale of 1:1,200,000 has been carried out. Thirty types of echoes have been differentiated and gather into four main groups: Distinct, Irregular, Hyperbolic and Undulated. The echo-character depends on the acoustic response of the shallow sediment and the seabed morphology. Therefore, its analysis and characterization are basic for understanding recent and present-day sedimentary processes.

description: Interpretation of the deep geological and tectonic setting is a key step for safety assessment of the potential sites for a deep geological repository of radioactive waste. However, the conventional geological mapping is difficult in the agricultural landscape with lacking rock outcrops. To address this task, we combined geological and hydrogeological mapping, morphostructural analysis and geophysical methods to construct a new geological map and a 3D model of the Březový potok site in the southwestern Czech Republic. They provide unique constraints for the understanding of the subsurface geological and tectonic architecture. The results are compared with the archive geological data and the usefulness of individual geophysical methods to detect the lithological contacts and tectonic zones is discussed. We present this multi-disciplinary research strategy as a workflow for detailed geological characterization, which can be successfully applied on other sites with similar geological environment.

description: Landslides and related mass movement processes actively pose a threat in the Gerecse Hills (Hungary, Transdanubian Range) by endangering residential and agricultural areas. Several closed or abandoned mining sites and waste deposits are also located in the area. Most of these sites have not been fully remediated, which makes their surroundings dangerous and unsuitable for other use. A multi-hazard map (1: 60,000) was prepared about the geological hazard sources of the Gerecse by collecting and synthetizing data from individual thematic maps and databases. The aim of the map is to provide a comprehensive look at the different but often-interrelated hazard sources of the area. The thematic content of the map consists of three main parts: the result of a statistical landslide susceptibility analysis marking the most landslide-prone slopes, the documented slope failure events, and the areas of hazardous mining sites and their waste deposits.
Opportunities and constraints of adopting market governance in protected areas in Central and Eastern Europe

description: This article analyses the transition from the traditional hierarchical governance of natural resources in Central and Eastern Europe towards the new forms of market governance of protected areas, including the introduction of fees and compensation. Our conceptual framework suggests that markets can be effective in governing transactions that involve low asset specificity and low frequency of disturbances. However, the introduction of markets should be accompanied by appropriate rules of market organization that particularly regulate their monitoring and impose sanctions in cases of mismanagement. The analysis of market governance in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia reveals that in the face of decreasing funding for biodiversity protection and state budgetary problems, markets are more a necessity than a means to improve resource management. Although markets should complement rather than substitute traditional forms of governance, for certain types of transactions, markets are useful. They can be effectively implemented, provided that property rights are recognized and legal settings that regulate the monitoring and enforcement of market rules are set up.

description: Identification of the remnant traces of paleo-glaciers provides important proxies to understand the response of the environment to rapid climate changes. We present a 1:25,000 scale geomorphological map covering ∼12.5 km2 of the upper part of Mount Bistra (North Macedonia) on the basis of remote sensing analyses and geomorphological surveys. Particular attention is given to the description of glacial and periglacial landforms, to the reconstruction of single glacier shapes and to Equilibrium Line Altitude (ELA) value calculation. The results of the survey and the reconstructed ELAs indicate the occurrence of three glacial phases that led to the formation of frontal and lateral moraines. The age of these phases is tentatively attributed to the Late Pleistocene by comparing these ELAs with those of other Balkan mountains. This map is the first step of a wider project aimed at reconstructing the relation between climate change and geomorphic response in this area.

description: Solution electrospinning of a blend containing a hydrophobic polymer with a hydrophilic functional polymer as an additive is a simple and straight-forward route to obtain functional and hydrophilic fibers accompanied by the mechanical properties of the hydrophobic polymer. However, this process of thermodynamically unfavored surface segregation of the hydrophilic additive is not well understood. To understand the process the dependencies of the surface hydrophilization on type of hydrophilic polymers, the solvent, and the process, using poly(caprolactone) (PCL) as the matrix polymer is explored. The results show that hydrophilic fibers can be obtained using different additive hydrophilic polymers. The combination of polymer blends which show this effect can be predicted using the Flory–Huggins interaction parameter. In addition mechanical and micromechanical properties of PCL fibers blended with NCO-terminated star-shaped poly(ethylene glycol) (sPEG-NCO) as additive are investigated. In this context blending with sPEG-NCO turns out to be a powerful tool to prevent fiber necking rendering this method an interesting candidate for tissue engineering application, where it is mandatory to retain the surface properties under mechanical stress.

description: Cardiac muscle cells can exhibit complex patterns including irregular behaviour such as chaos or (chaotic) early afterdepolarisations (EADs), which can lead to sudden cardiac death. Suitable mathematical models and their analysis help to predict the occurrence of such phenomena and to decode their mechanisms. The focus of this paper is the investigation of dynamics of cardiac muscle cells described by systems of ordinary differential equations. This is generically performed by studying a Purkinje cell model and a modified ventricular cell model. We find chaotic dynamics with respect to the leak current in the Purkinje cell model, and EADs and chaos with respect to a reduced fast potassium current and an enhanced calcium current in the ventricular cell model — features that have been experimentally observed and are known to exist in some models, but are new to the models under present consideration. We also investigate the related monodomain models of both systems to study synchronisation and the behaviour of the cells on macro-scale in connection with the discovered features. The models show qualitatively the same behaviour to what has been experimentally observed. However, for certain parameter settings the dynamics occur within a non-physiological range.

description: In this study, we analyse deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) in central Sardinia. The area is characterised by plateaus with a prominent limestone scarp overlying metamorphites. A comprehensive mapping of structural, karst, fluvial, and slope morphologies in Pardu and Ulassai valleys is presented herein. The uplift linked to the Plio-Pleistocene tectonic activity leads to high-slope topography, which favours gravitational processes, such as DSGSDs and rock-avalanches. Although DSGSD is a common phenomenon in the relief of the central Mediterranean region, it has never been studied in Sardinia. We describe the kinematic models and geomorphological evolution of DSGSD in Sardinia for the first time. The application of light detection and ranging, high-resolution unmanned aerial vehicle photogrammetry, and geological, structural, and geomorphological surveys enabled a depth morphometric analysis and the development of interpretative three-dimensional models. The geo-structural setting and high relief energy associated with recent upliftment are the major controlling factors of DSGSDs.

description: The thesis explores the contemporary museological significance of classical cast collections. Since the 16th century, classical plasters populated private and public spaces, art academies, museums and universities, fulfilling aesthetic and educational needs. Today, too, casts are still essential in archaeological scholarship, because they provide a better understanding of the originals they embody. Their curation in museums mirrors such a use: although accessioned museum objects, casts are presented as if they were antiquities and the stories they can offer as modern creations are usually dismissed. This qualitative research thus aims to understand whether possibilities for such stories to emerge exist. It achieves this by considering people’s multiple views and ideas around the objects. Methodological approaches include a case study (the Cast Gallery of the Ashmolean Museum, Oxford), grounded theory and ethnography. Past and present attitudes towards casts are examined through the review of archival documents, the museological analysis of the display space and interviews collected amongst the gallery curators, the Ashmolean staff and visitors. Results confirm that objects’ meanings are not fixed, rather they are constantly shaped and negotiated by the subject(s) engaging with them. The interpretation of casts as antiquities reflects specific interests in art and archaeology. However, interviews showed that casts’ stories are equally important and enrich the museum visit. Their unique features, pointing to different times, places and human associations, can open up discussions about historical and contemporary reproductive techniques and media, craftsmanship, modes of experiencing copies in classical times and how these are valued in other cultures. The inclusion of both ancient and modern realities in the museum narrative is necessary to express casts’ full possibilities. Moreover, by demonstrating that casts are objects in their own right, the thesis contributes to scholarly debate on cast collections and to more creative rethinking around copies, academically and in museums.

description: Post-harvest losses are one of the major livelihood challenges for farmers in the Global South. The use of drying technologies to preserve agricultural products has been promoted as a particular solution to address this challenge. In this regard, we designed and tested a passive indirect solar dryer for drying agricultural products as an alternative to open sun drying (OSD) in Gurue district, Central Mozambique, using amaranth leaves and maize. In addition, a sensorial analysis was conducted by randomly selecting a group of 60 adults who evaluated the texture, aroma and color of dried amaranth and maize grains. Compared to OSD, the passive indirect solar dryer reduced drying time and increased the thermal efficiency. Evaluation of sensory quality attributes showed that passive indirect solar drying outperforms OSD.

description: This work presents a new high-resolution multibeam bathymetric map of a segment of active deep sea-floor spreading in the Atlantic Ocean, the northern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR) at 45–46º N. New high-resolution bathymetry data were acquired using an Atlas multibeam echosounder onboard the research vessel Sarmiento de Gamboa during the EXPLOSEA-2 survey in 2019. The final map of the MAR (50 m cell grid size) at the original scale of 1:200,000 shows a segment of 140 × 35 km of the MAR, at water depths from 715 to 3700 m. This new high-resolution bathymetric map allows to better defining the submarine morphology of the Moytirra hydrothermal active field, the only high-temperature field identified between the Azores Archipelago (Portugal) and Iceland. ROV submarine observations reaching the deepest part of the system for the first time show giant anhydrite-sulfide chimneys up to 20 m high, active strong black smokers and polymetallic massive sulfides.

description: A new phthalide derivative named paramlyktone (1) and a new arborinane-type triterpenoid named paramyrpenoid (2), together with ten previously described trichothecenes derivatives (3–12) were isolated and identified from a rhizospheric soil-derived Paramyrothecium sp. KMU22107 associated with Delphinium yunnanense. Their structural elucidation was achieved by the comprehensive analysis of spectroscopic data and comparison with literature values. Notably, paramyrpenoid (2) was the first example of an arborinane-type triterpenoid with a double bond at Δ12(13) and an additional methyl motif at C-8. This was the first report of arborinane-type triterpenoids from a fungus belonging to Paramyrothecium genus. In pharmacological studies, paramyrpenoid (2) demonstrated significant cytotoxic activity against the HL-60, SW480, A-549, MDA-MB-231 and SMMC-7721 cell lines, with IC50 values from 2.0 to 16.1 μM. Compounds 1 and 2 were also evaluated for anti-inflammatory, anti-acetylcholinesterase (AChE), and protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) inhibitory activities in vitro.

description: Detailed geomorphological mapping of ice-related and post-glacial landforms is widely used to explain past glacial fluctuations and dynamics. Here we present the first detailed glacial geomorphological description of the landform assemblages produced by the former Ahuriri Glacier, Southern Alps, New Zealand (44° 15′ S, 169° 36′ E). The Southern Alps of New Zealand experienced multiple episodes of glaciation during the Late Quaternary with large mountain glaciers in many valleys, but very little is known about the Ahuriri River valley, one of the main tributaries of the Waitaki River. We selected a region extending approximately 45 km downstream from the headwaters of the Ahuriri River covering an area of about 532 km2. Our goal was to create a detailed 1:38,000 scale glacial geomorphological map of this area and provide a geomorphological context to support future geochronological work. Glacial geomorphological mapping was performed by combining several field investigations and remote sensing surveys. We provided high-resolution spatial information for all the glacial-related landforms shown on the map (see main Map). The distribution of post-glacial landforms in the middle and lower section of the main valley outline at least three advances or stillstand phases of past glaciers and suggesting the maximum length (∼41 km) of the former glacier during the Last Glacial Maximum. Most of the tributary valleys were also probably covered by ice at this time. Other prominent but smaller size moraine landforms, mostly in the tributary river valleys, also suggest relatively small, post-glacial advance phases of former glaciers.
