description: Believe the author to have lived near Beverley, East Yorkshire.Editor's Comment:
Forty-one stanzas, opening lines as follows: 'In the year nineteen and fourteen, | When the fields were white with corn,...'
As the author mentions being called-up on 18th March 1916, and was wounded on 15th September (year not stated) having gone 'over the top', it seems likely that the action referred to is the battle of Flers-Courcelette, and that the poem was written while convalescing sometime after, in 1916 or 1917. References to 'the lads at the Front today' imply that the war was still being fought during the poem's composition. The author served in a Fusiliers Regiment.

The cyclic behaviour of reinforced concrete chimney sections with and without openings
Creators: name: Wilson, John
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: The most vulnerable feature of most existing tall reinforced concrete chimneys when subject to severe earthquake excitation is the relative weakness of the sections around the openings near the chimney base. This paper documents an experimental study undertaken to investigate the cyclic behaviour of typical chimney sections with openings orientated to be bending critical and shear critical and the results are compared with previous tests with no openings. Significantly, no such cyclic tests have been previously been completed. The experimental results presented include; failure mode, over-strength factor, ultimate curvature, available ductility, hysteretic behaviour and strain distribution and the results are compared with some predictive analytical section models and design guidelines. The research indicated that chimney sections with openings were not brittle, but were significantly less ductile than sections without openings. The paper is relevant for both assessing existing chimney stacks and for the design of new chimneys in the vicinity of openings.

Mapping Global Middle Ages, Toward a Global Middle Ages

description: In Order to understand what a "global Middle Ages" might be, we need to define "global" in and in relation to the "Middle Ages." To do so, I turn to medieval (Christian) maps. Their construction of the world-the most, maybe all, others-was founded on inclusion and exclusion. In seeking to construct a global Middle Ages, the authors in this volume are therefore working not only against scholarly traditions of periodization but also against indigenous medieval ideas, against autochthonous ideologies. "Global Middle Ages" is a term that is gaining increasing currency as part of a welcome and much-overdue effort to acknowledge in teaching and research that the Middle Ages can encompass more geography than present-day Europe, more religions than Latin and Byzantine Christianity, and more humanity then whiteness. But what this term might mean is dependent on the lens we bring to the period, the geography, the people, and the material we study.
Dust depletion, chemical uniformity and environment of Ca ii H&K quasar absorbers

description: Ca ii λλ3934, 3969 absorbers, which are likely to be a subset of damped Lyman α systems (DLAs), are the most dusty quasar absorbers known with an order of magnitude more extinction in E(B - V) than other absorption systems. There is also evidence that Ca ii absorbers trace galaxies with more ongoing star formation than the average quasar absorber. Despite this, relatively little is known in detail about these unusual absorption systems. Here, we present the first high-resolution spectroscopic study of 19 Ca ii quasar absorbers, in the range 0.6 ≤ zabs ≤ 1.2, with Ca ii λ3934 equivalent widths, W39340 ≥ 0.2 Å. Their general elemental depletion patterns are found to be similar to measurements in the warm halo phase of the Milky Way (MW) and Magellanic Clouds interstellar medium. Dust depletions and α-enrichments profiles of subsamples of seven and three absorbers, respectively, are measured using a combination of Voigt profile fitting and apparent optical depth techniques. Deviations in [Cr/Zn] ~ 0.3 ± 0.1 and [Si/Fe] ≳ 0.8 ± 0.1 dex are detected across the profile of one absorber, which we attribute to differential dust depletion. The remaining absorbers have <0.3 dex (3σ limit) variation in [Cr/Zn], much like the general DLA population, though the dustiest Ca ii absorbers, those with W39340 > 0.7 Å, remain relatively unprobed in our sample. A limit on electron densities in Ca ii absorbers, ne < 0.1 cm-3, is derived using the ratio of neutral and singly ionized species and assuming a MW-like radiation field. These electron densities may imply hydrogen densities sufficient for the presence of molecular hydrogen in the absorbers. The Ca ii absorber sample comprises a wide range of velocity widths, Δv90 = 50-470 km s-1, and velocity structures, thus a range of physical models for their origin, from simple discs to galactic outflows and mergers, would be required to explain the observations.

Stringent null constraint on cosmological evolution of the proton-to-electron mass ratio

Publisher: name: Swinburne

description: We present a strong constraint on variation of the proton-to-electron mass ratio mu over cosmological time scales using molecular hydrogen transitions in optical quasar spectra. Using high quality spectra of quasars Q0405 - 443, Q0347 - 383, and Q0528 - 250, variation in mu relative to the present day value is limited to Delta mu/mu= (2.6 +/- 3.0) x 10(-6). We reduce systematic errors compared to previous works by substantially improving the spectral wavelength calibration method and by fitting absorption profiles to the forest of hydrogen Lyman alpha transitions surrounding each H-2 transition. Our results are consistent with no variation, and inconsistent with a previous approximate to 4 sigma detection of mu variation involving Q0405 - 443 and Q0347 - 383. If the results of this work and those suggesting that alpha may be varying are both correct, then this would tend to disfavor certain grand unification models.
The kinematic signature of damped Lyman alpha systems: Using the D-index to screen for high column density H i absorbers

description: Using a sample of 21 damped Lyman alpha systems (DLAs) and 35 sub-DLAs, we evaluate the D-index from high-resolution spectra of the Mg ii λ 2796 profile. This sample represents an increase in the sub-DLA statistics by a factor of 4 over the original D-index sample. We investigate various techniques to define the velocity spread (Δv) of the Mg ii line to determine an optimal D-index for the identification of DLAs. The success rate of DLA identification is 50-55 per cent, depending on the velocity limits used, improving by a few per cent when the column density of Fe ii is included in the D-index calculation. We recommend the set of parameters that are judged to be most robust, have a combination of high DLA identification rate (57 per cent) and low DLA miss rate (6 per cent) and most cleanly separate the DLAs and sub-DLAs (Kolmogorov-Smirnov probability 0.5 per cent). These statistics demonstrate that the D-index is the most efficient technique for selecting low-redshift DLA candidates: 65 per cent more efficient than selecting DLAs based on the equivalent widths of Mg ii and Fe ii alone. We also investigate the effect of resolution on determining the N(H i) of sub-DLAs. We convolve echelle spectra of sub-DLA Lyα profiles with Gaussians typical of the spectral resolution of instruments on the Hubble Space Telescope and compare the best-fitting N(H i) values at both the resolutions. We find that the fitted H i column density is systematically overestimated by ~0.1 dex in the moderate-resolution spectra compared to the best fits to the original echelle spectra. This offset is due to blending of nearby Lyα clouds that are included in the damping wing fit at low resolution.

description: The diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) probably arise from complex organic molecules whose strength in local galaxies correlates with neutral hydrogen column density, N(H i), and dust reddening, E( B− V). Because Ca ii absorbers in quasar (QSO) spectra are posited to have high N(H i) and significant E( B− V), they represent promising sites for the detection of DIBs at cosmological distances. Here we present the results from the first search for DIBs in nine Ca ii-selected absorbers at . We detect the 5780-Å DIB in one line of sight at ; this is only the second QSO absorber in which a DIB has been detected. Unlike the majority of local DIB sight-lines, both QSO absorbers with detected DIBs show weak 6284-Å absorption compared with the 5780-Å band. This may be indicative of different physical conditions in intermediate redshift QSO absorbers compared with local galaxies. Assuming that local relations between the 5780-Å DIB strength and N(H i) and E( B− V) apply in QSO absorbers, DIB detections and limits can be used to derive N(H i) and E( B− V). For the one absorber in this study with a detected DIB, we derive and log N(H i) ≥ 20.9, consistent with previous conclusions that Ca ii systems have high H i column densities and significant reddening. For the remaining eight Ca ii-selected absorbers with 5780-Å DIB non-detections, we derive E( B− V) upper limits of 0.1-0.3 mag.
Revision of VLT/UVES constraints on a varying fine-structure constant

description: We critically review the current null results on a varying fine-structure constant, α, derived from Very Large Telescope (VLT)/Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) quasar absorption spectra, focusing primarily on the many-multiplet analysis of 23 absorbers from which Chand et al. reported a weighted mean relative variation of Δα/α = (-0.06 ± 0.06) × 10-5. Our analysis of the same reduced data, using the same fits to the absorption profiles, yields very different individual Δα/α values with uncertainties typically larger by a factor of ∼3. We attribute the discrepancies to flawed parameter estimation techniques in the original analysis and demonstrate that the original Δα/α values were strongly biased towards zero. Were those flaws not present, the input data and spectra should have given a weighted mean of Δα/α = (-0.44 ± 0.16) × 10-5. Although this new value does reflect the input spectra and fits (unchanged from the original work - only our analysis is different), we do not claim that it supports previous Keck/High Resolution Echelle Spectrograph (HIRES) evidence for a varying α: there remains significant scatter in the individual Δα/α values which may stem from the overly simplistic profile fits in the original work. Allowing for such additional, unknown random errors by increasing the uncertainties on Δα/α to match the scatter provides a more conservative weighted mean, Δα/α = (-0.64 ± 0.36) × 10-5. We highlight similar problems in other current UVES constraints on varying α and argue that comparison with previous Keck/HIRES results is premature.

description: The Standard Model of particle physics assumes that the so-called fundamental constants are universal and unchanging. Absorption lines arising in molecular clouds along quasar sightlines offer a precise test for variations in the proton-to-electron mass ratio, µ, over cosmological time and distance scales. The inversion transitions of ammonia are particularly sensitive to µ as compared to molecular rotational transitions. Comparing the available ammonia spectra observed toward the quasar B0218+357 with new, high-quality rotational spectra, we present the first detailed measurement of µ with this technique, limiting relative deviations from the laboratory value to |Δµ/µ| < 1.8 x 10–6 (95% confidence level) at approximately half the universe's current age—the strongest astrophysical constraint to date. Higher-quality ammonia observations will reduce both the statistical and systematic uncertainties in these observations.

description: Background: The cytokine tumour necrosis factor-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL) has shown promising anticancer activity in early clinical settings by selectively inducing apoptosis in different tumour types. However, some tumour entities such as hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) display an inherent resistance to TRAIL. A huge effort has been made to unravel strategies for a clinically applicable sensitisation of resistant cancer cells to TRAIL. Reversible epigenetic alterations such as DNA methylation play a major role in development, maintenance and resistance phenomena of tumour cells. Currently, several clinical trials are exploiting the potential of epigenetic drugs, such as 5-azacytidine (5-aza-CR) or 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC) to break primary or secondary resistance phenomena of cancer cells. Therefore, 5-aza-CR and 5-aza-dC were investigated in the context of TRAIL resistance.
Methods: Alterations in proliferation, apoptosis, regulatory proteins and toxicity were investigated in TRAIL-resistant hepatoma, and also in renal, colon and pancreatic cancer cells as well as non-transformed human-derived primary hepatocytes, tissue slices isolated from human liver and non-malignant colon cells, all of which had been exposed to demethylating drugs and/or TRAIL.
Results: Within hours, 5-aza-CR but not 5-aza-dC sensitised in vitro cultured tumour cells to TRAIL, first by activating caspases, followed by a subsequent induction of apoptosis. This surprisingly rapid sensitisation was confirmed in vivo employing a chorioallantoic membrane assay. As a major mechanism, a 5-aza-CR-induced inhibition of cellular protein synthesis was found which led to a breakdown of tumour-protecting factors such as the antiapoptotic factor FLICE inhibitory protein (FLIP). Importantly, TRAIL and 5-aza-CR did not induce relevant toxicity or apoptosis in primary hepatocytes, liver slices from different human donors and in normal colon cells.
Conclusions: Molecular evidence is provided for a novel 5-aza-CR-based translational approach enabling a twofold treatment of apoptosis-resistant tumour entities, not only by an epigenetic reversion of the malignancy-associated phenotype but also by an efficient resensitisation to apoptosis-inducing substances such as TRAIL.

description: The Vercelli Map, one of the largest maps to survive from the Middle Ages, has not received the attention it merits (Plate IV). This is likely the result of its very poor state of preservation, which has been a constant theme in what little has been published on it.' There are several studies that make brief mention of the map, and a few studies focused on it. The most significant publication is Carlo E Capello's 1976 volume, Il mappamondo medioevale di Vercelli, 11911218 which includes a transcription of its inscriptions by region and an alphabetical gazetteer of toponyms.? In essence, the Vercelli Map has been noticed in a number of studies of medieval geography and cartography, but there have not been any sustained discussions of it since Anna-Dorothee von den Brincken's 1990 essay. The Vercelli Maps scholarly neglect and the substantial conceptual transformations in the history of cartography since the 1990s makes this map ripe for reappraisal; fortunately, recent technological developments make it newly available for examination.

description: Das Anliegen dieses Beitrags ist, die Spätphilosophie Ricoeurs, wie er sie speziell in Das Selbst als ein Anderer entfaltet, als eine Ikonografie des fähigen Menschen zu lesen. Als Anlass für diese Lesart sollen im Besonderen zwei Spezifitäten diese Philosophie herausgestellt werden: 1. Ricoeurs Konstituierung des Subjekts, die das Subjekt als Selbst und darin wesent- lich als einen Anderen und in Interaktion mit dem Anderen verstanden wissen will. Indem Ricoeur an die Stelle des unmittelbar gesetzten ich, dessen Existenz als Evidenz erfahren wird, das Selbst setzt, muss das Subjekt sich zuerst über einen Umweg erfahren, um sich als Selbst konstituieren zu können. Dieser Umweg führt über seine veröffentlichten Fähigkeiten. Mit veröffentlichen Fähigkeiten sind hier solche gemeint, die dem Selbst in ihrer Aktualisierung anschaulich werden und in Interaktion mit dem Anderen stehen. 2. Gibt Ricoeurs Ausgestaltung der institutionell vermittelten Distribution von ökonomischen Gütern Anlass, seine Philosophie als politische Ikonografie zu lesen. Diese soll im Anschluss an Rawls und mit Blick auf die Erhöhung der Produktivität ungleich und an der Leistung bemessen erfolgen. Beide genannten Punkte werden im Artikel aus dem Spätwerk Ricoeurs hergeleitet und dabei auch in Ricoeurs metaphysischen Grundannahmen im Anschluss an Spinoza und de Biran fundiert, die es gleichsam herauszuarbeiten gilt. Abschließend zeige ich, indem ich die vorgenannten Punkte mit der metaphysischen Fundierung zusammenführe an, dass Ricoeurs Spätphilosophie ebenso wie als Ikonografie des fähigen Menschen auch, und ersteres fundierend, als Ikonografie der Institution gelesen werden kann.

Ca II and Na I absorption signatures from extraplanar gas in the halo of the Milky Way

description: We analyse absorption characteristics and physical conditions of extraplanar intermediate- and high-velocity gas to study the distribution of the neutral and weakly ionised Milky Way halo gas and its relevance for the evolution of the Milky Way and other spiral galaxies. We combine optical absorption line measurements of Ca II/Na I and 21 cm emission line observations of HI along 103 extragalactic lines of sight towards quasars (QSOs) and active galactic nuclei (AGN). The archival optical spectra were obtained with the Ultraviolet and Visual Echelle Spectrograph (UVES) at the ESO Very Large Telescope, while the 21 cm HI observations were carried out using the 100-m radio telescope at Effelsberg. The analysis of the UVES spectra shows that single and multi-component Ca II/Na I absorbers at intermediate and high velocities are present in about 35 percent of the sight lines, indicating the presence of neutral extraplanar gas structures. In some cases the Ca II/Na I absorption is connected with HI 21 cm intermediate- or high-velocity gas with HI column densities in the range of 10 18 to 10 20 cm-2 (i.e., the classical IVCs and HVCs), while other Ca II/Na I absorbers show no associated HI emission. The observed HI line widths vary from ΔυFWHM=3.2 km s-1 to 32.0 km s-1 indicating a range of upper gas temperature limits of 250 K up to about 22 500 K. Our study suggests that the Milky Way halo is filled with a large number of neutral gaseous structures whose high column density tail represents the population of common HI high-velocity clouds seen in 21 cm surveys. The Ca II column density distribution follows a power-law f(N)=CNβ with a slope of β ≈ -1.6, thus comparable to the distribution found for intervening metal-line systems toward QSOs. Many of the statistical and physical properties of the Ca II absorbers resemble those of strong (W λ2796 > 0.3 Å) Mg II absorbing systems observed in the circumgalactic environment of other galaxies, suggesting that both absorber populations may be closely related.

Penny Lee [Hooper's daughter] explains that her father wrote this memoir "late in his 80s, and of his own admission it shows himself to have been very young, brash and over-keen, simply unaware of how those who had served and survived through those terrible times must have welcomed the end of hostilities. He always told me that he was alive simply because he had so wanted to be a professional soldier, so had the longer training and arrived late."

Born 1898 in Burma. Justin Hooper attended Cheltenham College in about 1912 (pp15) where he was study-orderly for a prefect Wogan-Browne (Wogan-Browne served in the army during the First World War but was killed soon afterwards at the Curragh, Ireland, by mistake, by the Sinn Fein).

These extracts include:

 * The declaration of war 1914 (pp16),

 * being in the OTC at college (pp18),

 * the decision to obtain a regular commission which led to his delay in joining up (pp18), and receiving a white feather on the Promenade in Cheltenham (pp19),

 * the army entrance examinations (pp19-20),

 * to Royal Military Academy, Woolwich for a full year's training in 1917 (pp20-21),

 * dropping his rifle on parade and the punishment (pp21),

 * passing out and going over to France August 1918 (pp22),

 * meeting an American sergeant called Roosevelt - of the famous family (pp22),

 * and finally taking command of a section of the 66th East Lancashire (pp22-23),

 * his servant - Gunner Alfred Birtwhistle (pp23-24),

 * taking ammunition up to the front lines (pp24),

 * travelling across France by railway with his battery to the Cambrai sector, including a train crash (pp 25-26),

 * and to join 'D' Battery 330 Field Brigade of 4.5" howitzers (pp27),

 * hearing of the Amristice 11 November 1918 (pp27) and finding a dead column of British infantry killed only a few days earlier (pp27-28),

 * demobilisation for others and in 1919 posting to Egypt en route to Palestine for Hooper (pp31).

The progeny of stellar dynamics and stellar evolution within an N-body model of NGC 188
Creators: name: Geller, Aaron M.
name: Hurley, Jarrod
name: Mathieu, Robert D.
Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: We present a direct N-body simulation modeling the evolution of the old (7 Gyr) open cluster NGC 188. This is the first N-body open cluster simulation whose initial binary population is directly defined by observations of a specific open cluster: M35 (150 Myr). We compare the simulated color-magnitude diagram at 7 Gyr to that of NGC 188, and discuss the blue stragglers produced in the simulation. We compare the solar-type main-sequence binary period and eccentricity distributions of the simulation to detailed observations of similar binaries in NGC 188. These results demonstrate the importance of detailed observations in guiding N-body open cluster simulations. Finally, we discuss the implications of a few discrepancies between the NGC 188 model and observations and suggest a few methods for bringing N-body open cluster simulations into better agreement with observations.

Bacterial extracellular polysaccharides involved in biofilm formation
Creators: name: Vu, Barbara

Publisher: name: Swinburne
Year: 2024

description: Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) produced by microorganisms are a complex mixture of biopolymers primarily consisting of polysaccharides, as well as proteins, nucleic acids, lipids and humic substances. EPS make up the intercellular space of microbial aggregates and form the structure and architecture of the biofilm matrix. The key functions of EPS comprise the mediation of the initial attachment of cells to different substrata and protection against environmental stress and dehydration. The aim of this review is to present a summary of the current status of the research into the role of EPS in bacterial attachment followed by biofilm formation. The latter has a profound impact on an array of biomedical, biotechnology and industrial fields including pharmaceutical and surgical applications, food engineering, bioremediation and biohydrometallurgy. The diverse structural variations of EPS produced by bacteria of different taxonomic lineages, together with examples of biotechnological applications, are discussed. Finally, a range of novel techniques that can be used in studies involving biofilm-specific polysaccharides is discussed.
FUNCTIONAL MORPHOLOGY  AND MODE OF LIFE OF THE LATE TRIASSIC PLACODONT PSEPHODERMA ALPINUM MEYER FROM THE CALCARE DI ZORZINO (LOMBARDY,  N ITALY)

Subjects: Psephoderma alpinum (Reptilia, Placodontia); Description; Functional morphology; Palaeoecology.

description: The recent  find of a new complete  specimen of Psephoderma  alpinum  Meyer, 1858 in the Norian  Calcare  di Zorzino (Zorzino Limestone), in northern  Italy, adds  to our knowledge  of the osteology  of this species.  The new  specimen  is the largest  so far collected, reaching  180 cm in length. Allometric  growth of  the limbs  during  ontogeny is demonstrated.  A new  interpretation  of its palaeoecology  and mode of life is given on the bases  of  both functional morphology and palaeoenvironmental  observation. The streamlined  keeled carapace is interpreted as having  a hydrodynamic rather than  a defensive function.  The long, stiff tail and, probably, the dorsal  caudal plate served for balance. The gap in the carapace, above  the sacral  region, enabled Psephoderma  to swim at least  as well as trionychid  turtles, though  no particular  swimming  adaptations of the pelvic girdle and of the femur are observed.  Invertebrates  and a rich fish fauna  were found  together with these placodonts,  allowing  the restoration  of the oxic part of the basins environment as a normal marine  one. The surface  waters were influenced by tides that possibly  generated  rarher  strong  local currents close  to the mouth of tidal channels  crossing  the platform.  This provided for a rich nectonic  and benthic life in the more superficial waters: Psephoderma  fed on bissate molluscs,  such  as Modiolus and Isognomon, dwelling  on shallow  oxic bottoms at the basins  edge. Due to  water stratification,  a long-lasting  anoxic  environment developed in the deepest part of the basins  themselves, allowing fine preservation  (Konservat-Lagerstaetten)  of allochthonous  organisms.

NEW CALCAREOUS NANNOFOSSIL DATA ON THE CRETACEOUS-EOCENE AGE OF CORSICAN TURBIDITES
Creators: name: MARINO, MARIA

Publisher: name: Rivista Italiana di Paleontologia e Stratigrafia (Research In Paleontology and Stratigraphy)
Year: 2017
Subjects: Calcareous Nannofossil Biostratigraphy; Corsica; Cretaceous-Eocene; Turbidites.

description: A  detailed  biostratigraphical  study  based on  calcareous nannofossils  has been carried out on  the following Cretaceous-Eocene  flysch of Alpine Corsica:  Macinaggio Flysch, Tralonca  Flysch,  Vezzani Flysch,  Balagne Calcareous  Flysch,  Lydienne  (Toccone  Unit), Palasca  Sandstones,  Gare  de Novella Sandstones,  Alturaia  Arkoses. The bad preservation  of calcareous  nannofloras  due to dissolution and overgrowth  phenomena,  did not permit the recognition of precise biozonal  intervals; although many samples were barren, calcareous  nannofossils provided  further  information  about  the Corsican flysch age and they  often confirmed the previous age  determination  based  on Foraminifera. The Macinaggio Flysch, ascribed in  literature  to  the Cenomanian, has  been  referred  to an age  not older than  latest  Coniacian;  the Balagne  Calcareous  Flysch, previously  referred  to the Eocene  and, subsequently,  to the Senonian,  is Cenomanian and latest Coniacian-Campanian  in age; for the Palasca Sandstones the Eocene age has been confirmed; the Lydienne (Toccone  Unit) has  been referred  to an age  not older than  Late Albian; in the Gare de Novella Sandstones  a Late Albian  age has  been  recognized. These  new data  would suggest  an older Cretaceous  age  for the beginning of the Corsican flysch deposition  (Albian-Cenomanian) when compared to the Santonian and  Maastrichtian  ages of the Cretaceous  flysch  in the Northern  Apennine. These results  concerning  the age of Corsican  flysch together with  the stratigraphic-structural  and sedimentological  data from the literature,  provide  new interesting considerations  about  the paleogeography of western Tethys.

NUMMULITE BIOSTRATIGRAPHY AT THE MIDDLE/UPPER EOCENE BOUNDARY IN THE NORTHERN MEDITERRANEAN AREA

Subjects: Biostratigraphy; Nummulites; Middle/Upper Eocene boundary; Northern Mediterranean.

description: Some larger  foraminiferal assemblages (mostly nummulitids) near the Middle/Upper Eocene boundary have been investigated. Sections of the Veneto area (Berici and Lessini Mts., northern Italy) were studied and compared with others of the same age from Spain (Ebro basin) and Romania (Cluj-Napoca). In the Veneto area the results allow to split the upper Middle Eocene Nummulites brongniarti Zone into two biozones: a lower N. lyelli Zone and an upper N. biedai Zone. The N. aff. fahianìi Zone is here renamed N. variolarias/incrassatus Zone. This subdivision can also  be recognized in Spain and Romania. According to the current conceptions,  the base of the Priabonian (= Upper Eocene) could correspond either to the base of the N. fabianii s.s. Zone or to the base of the N. vaiolarius/ incrassatas Zone. Anyway, the Mossano succession could be a potential Globai Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the Priabonian.

Xmas gift box 1914

Royal Scots cap badge

My grandfather John Kimmet was a private in the 1/4 Royal scots (Reg. number 245031)

He fought at Gallipoli and seconb battle of the Somme. The photo was taken while he was on leave - probably after returning from Gallipoli.

The only story I know of him at Gallipoli was that his lack of height saved his life. He was standing on a beach talking to ataller comrade when a bullet passed over his head and hit the man in the forehead killing him instantly.

The Xmas 1914 cigarette/chocolate box and his cap badge which he is wearing in the photo were brought back by him to his family in 1918.

Although he survived the war my grandmother said his health was never the same after the war due to his experiences and having to live at times up to his waist in mud.
He went to work in the Leith shipyards contributing to the second war effort and died in 1946.
