Choosing among stakeholder strategies: how do managers make sense of stakeholder management?
Creators: name: Sayer, Bradley James
Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: This thesis explores how managers make sense of stakeholder management. The stakeholder literature is deficient in describing stakeholder management praxis. This deficiency and criticism has led to scholars calling for research into managerial praxis, to explain how managers interpret, practise and make sense of stakeholder management, but to date, these calls for greater research are unanswered. This thesis’ contribution, therefore, addresses this deficiency and responds to calls for further research through an exploration of managerial sense making. This research follows an embedded design, single case study methodology, as detailed by Yin (2014), using multiple data sources. A theoretically derived model develops the interview questions for the 28 field-based semi-structured interviews. Interviews are undertaken with 17 executive managers from two global medical device manufacturers, plus 11 additional executives from their stakeholders to provide depth to the study. To corroborate the findings from the interviews, and to provide breadth to the study, 100 (online) recruitment notices that use the terms ‘stakeholder’ and ‘stakeholder management’ are included. The recruitment notices are an unbiased data source that explains managers’ application of stakeholder management. Finally, another theoretically derived model frames data analysis (i.e., coding) by three approaches to stakeholder management: communications, relationships and positioning. The research findings provide an exploration of how managers make sense of the concept, which includes the foci, implications and the‘why’, ‘when’, ‘who’, ‘what’ and ‘how’ of each approach. This research contributes to stakeholder management theory by explaining how managers make sense of the concept and outlining the implications of the various stakeholder management approaches, which represent opportunities for further research. The contribution to practice explains how common stakeholder management approaches may be more effective in one situation than another.

description: We have compared the aesthetic outcomes of upper blepharoplasty with or without resection of the preseptal orbicularis oculi muscle. In addition we evaluated MRI to visualize the differences in the upper eyelids before and after surgery. An interventional randomized double-blind left right study was conducted in 10 patients with upper eyelid dermatochalazis. One side was randomly chosen for incision of the preseptal orbicularis oculi muscle and direct coagulation or resection of fat pockets. The orbicularis oculi muscle of the contralateral side was not incised. Only a soft coagulation was performed on the muscle to induce a septal contraction and push the orbital fat back. All interventions were performed with an Ellman Dual frequency high frequency low temperature unit. Digital photos were taken before and after surgery and patients were asked to fill in a questionnaire to evaluate the surgery itself as well as the aesthetic outcome. In an attempt to objectify these findings, NMR imaging of the orbits was performed before and 6 weeks after surgery. Symptoms scoring was similar in both groups. At 6 weeks post-operation, no significant differences were observed between left and right eye. In conclusion, patients with dermatochalazis but without prominent fat prolapse in the upper eyelid, did not exhibit significant differences after cutting or not the orbicularis muscle to excise orbital fat. Even in cases with moderate fat prolapse, the fat can be pushed back by soft coagulation of the orbicularis and underlying orbital septum. When the preseptal orbicularis oculi muscle is preserved, the risk of hematoma and orbital cellulitis can be limited.

description: The present study shows that the performance of CNN is not significantly different from the best classical methods and human doctors for classifying mediastinal lymph node metastasis of NSCLC from PET/CT images. Because CNN does not need tumor segmentation or feature calculation, it is more convenient and more objective than the classical methods. However, CNN does not make use of the import diagnostic features, which have been proved more discriminative than the texture features for classifying small-sized lymph nodes. Therefore, incorporating the diagnostic features into CNN is a promising direction for future research.

description: Maintaining the redox balance within the mitochondria is critical for cellular homeostasis in the eye since the mitochondria host the energy producing systems of the cell and it is widely recognized that damage to the mitochondria plays a key role in sight threatening age-related eye disorders, including retinopathies (maculodystrophy, retinitis pigmentosa , hereditary optic neuropathy), as well as glaucoma, cataract, and autoimmune uveitis. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are generated as by-products of cellular metabolism, primarily in the mitochondria. Although ROS are essential participants in cell signaling and regulation, when their cellular production overwhelms the intrinsic antioxidant capacity, damage to cellular macromolecules such as DNA, proteins, and lipids ensues. Oxidized phospholipids play an important role in execution of the mitochondrial stage of apoptosis and clearance of apoptotic cells. During the lipid peroxidation (LPO) reaction, lipid hydroperoxides are formed as primary products. Several lines of evidence suggest that lipid hydroperoxides can trigger cell death in many cell types, which may be mediated by mitochondria dysfunction pathway. Recently, there was a breakthrough in mitochondrial targeting of antioxidants. Mitochondrial function can be manipulated selectively by targeting bioactive compounds to mitochondria in living cells. Lipophylic antioxidants were covalently coupled to a triphenylphosphonium cation, and these compounds were preferentially taken up by mitochondria. In this work we proposed the combined use of mitochondria-targeted antioxidant mito Vit E and N-acetylcarnosine, an ophthalmic prodrug of L-carnosine in patented formulation of eye drops including the mucoadhesive compound carboxymethylcellulose to help elucidate the role of mitochondrial oxidative damage in apoptotic cell death. We suggest that mitochondrial oxidative damage plays an important role in ROS-induced apoptosis. Further work using these and other mitochondrially targeted compounds to dissect out the role of mitochondrial oxidative changes in peroxide-induced apoptosis is ongoing. The findings reported demonstrate that mitochondrially targeted antioxidants such as mito vit E + N-acetylcarnosine in the eye drop formulation with carboxymethylcellulose can be used to investigate the role of mitochondrial oxidative stress in retinal neuronal cells (RGCs) death and may represent a new pharmacologic tool to mitigate complex ocular pathology for the treatment of sight-threatening eye diseases and, especially, neurodegeneration originating from an oxidative injury and glaucomatous neurodegeneration. This strategy also has potential for unraveling the contribution of oxidative stress to other ocular pathologies involving mitochondrial dysfunction.
Generalizing link prediction for information extraction

description: Information Extraction (IE) is the task of extracting from a text the entities and the relationships that hold between them, in a form that can be stored in a database called a Knowledge Base (KB) or Knowledge Graph (KG). Link prediction, also called as Knowledge Base Completion, is the task of predicting missing links in order to make KG more complete. While most of IE and link prediction models have focused on binary relationships, in the real world relationships are often n-ary (n > 2). Recently, IE algorithms have been proposed that can extract relationships of arbitrary arity, but as far as we know there is no corresponding work on link prediction involving relationships of arbitrary arity. In this thesis, we introduce the task of n-ary link prediction by proposing two different models to model n-ary relationships and two different training methods to train the proposed models. We also provide new dataset (based on Wikidata) for training and evaluating our proposed approaches. We also propose a modification in the standard evaluation criteria in order to overcome the bottleneck of huge computational complexity when working on large-scale KBs. Evaluation in terms of Mean Rank, Hits@10 and classification accuracy on tuple dataset show that our proposed approaches have the ability to generalize link prediction over tuples having arbitrary arity.

description: Dry eye syndrome (DES) is a relatively common condition with signs and symptoms varying from light irritation to functional blindness as a result of corneal opacification. The disorder generally occurs in subjects over 40 years of age. DES management is related to the severity of the symptoms. In most cases treatment focuses on tear substitution. However, permanent punctal occlusion may be indicated for patients in which these conventional therapies fail. The procedure is simple and can be performed in the office. To cauterize and close the punctum, a high-frequency low-temperature surgical device and a specifically designed electrode [Chedly Punctal Occluder (CPO)] are employed. The very same CPO electrode, may be utilized to achieve dilation of the punctum and sealing of the the lumen of the lacrimal duct. In cases where a permanent punctal occlusion is indicated, the CPO, in combination with a high frequency device, permanently seals the punctum. In most cases a scar is only visible by close slit lamp examination. So far no cases of punctum reopening have been observed. Although permanent punctal occlusion in DES is not the first treatment of choice, it sometimes has to be considered in severe DES cases, where other therapies remain unsuccessful.

description: Quantum machine learning models use encoding circuits to map data into a quantum Hilbert space. While it is well known that the architecture of these circuits significantly influences core properties of the resulting model, they are often chosen heuristically. In this work, we present a novel approach using reinforcement learning techniques to generate problem-specific encoding circuits to improve the performance of quantum machine learning models. By specifically using a model-based reinforcement learning algorithm, we reduce the number of necessary circuit evaluations during the search, providing a sample-efficient framework. In contrast to previous search algorithms, our method uses a layered circuit structure that significantly reduces the search space. Additionally, our approach can account for multiple objectives such as solution quality, hardware restrictions and circuit depth. We benchmark our tailored circuits against various reference models, including models with problem-agnostic circuits and classical models. Our results highlight the effectiveness of problem-specific encoding circuits in enhancing QML model performance.

description: This paper examines the properties of flows around objects embedded within common envelopes in the simplified context of a "wind tunnel." We establish characteristic relationships between key common envelope flow parameters like the Mach number and density scale height. Our wind tunnel is a three-dimensional, cartesian geometry hydrodynamic simulation setup that includes the gravity of the primary and secondary stars and allows us to study the coefficients of drag and accretion experienced by the embedded object. Accretion and drag lead to a transformation of an embedded object and its orbit during a common envelope phase. We present two suites of simulations spanning a range of density gradients and Mach numbers -- relevant for flow near the limb of a stellar envelope to the deep interior. In one suite, we adopt an ideal gas adiabatic exponent of $γ=5/3$, in the other, $γ=4/3$. We find that coefficients of drag rise in flows with steeper density gradients and that coefficients of drag and accretion are consistently higher in the more compressible, $γ=4/3$ flow. We illustrate the impact of these newly derived coefficients by integrating the inspiral of a secondary object through the envelopes of $3M_\odot$ ($γ\approx5/3$) and $80M_\odot$ ($γ\approx4/3$) giants. In these examples, we find a relatively rapid initial inspiral because, near the stellar limb, dynamical friction drag is generated mainly from dense gas focussed from deeper within the primary-star's envelope. This rapid initial inspiral timescale carries potential implications for the timescale of transients from early common envelope interaction.

description: Purpose: A case of B-cell non-Hodgkin lymphoma is presented in the right orbit, which, after treatment with excisional biopsy plus chemotherapy, reached a favorable resolution after 9 months of treatment. Case report: 83-year-old male, who at physical exam presents with infraorbital proptosis at the right eye and a 1 cm mobile mass in the right orbit. An excisional biopsy via transconjunctival inferior orbitotomy showed a non-Hodking B cell lymphoma. Discussion: Surgical resection plus chemotherapy gave a favorable outcome at follow-up. The fundamental pillars for a good therapeutic approach is the correct histological classification, and the timely multidisciplinary management in this type of diagnosis. Conclusion: The correct histological classification and appropriate multidisciplinary management of these patients are the fundamental pillars of good therapeutic results.
An enzyme for nucleotide sugar modification in A. Baumannii

description: The gram-negative bacillus Acinetobacter baumannii is an emerging multidrug-resistant, opportunistic pathogen responsible for severe nosocomial and community pneumonia outbreaks worldwide. Increasing resistance to antibiotics is thought to be due in part to highly variable genomic islands and lateral gene transfer. To date there have been studies into multiple genes in A. baumannii that are thought to play major roles in its resistance capabilities. One such gene found in a genomic island of the D1279779 strain of A. baumannii, fnIA, encodes for the protein Ab-WbjB, an extended short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR). Although it is similar in structure to other members of the SDR family, little is known about its function in A. baumannii. I have carried out analysis on the active site chemistry of Ab-WbjB, discovering the necessity for the presence of its cofactor NADP for both overall protein stability and substrate binding. I have also found that Ab-WbjB binds to the substrate analogue UDP-GlcNAc. In addition to functional assays of the protein, an attempt at crystal growth was made under conditions containing both NADP and UDP-GlcNAc. A knockout of the fnlA gene in A. baumannii was also planned, but has yet to be completed.

description: Aims - Investigate the effects of resistivity and viscosity on the onset and growth of the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability (KHI) in an oscillating coronal loop. Methods - We modelled a standing kink wave in a density-enhanced loop with the three dimensional (3-D), resistive magnetohydrodynamics code, Lare3d. We conducted a parameter study on the viscosity and resistivity coefficients to examine the effects of dissipation on the KHI. Results - Enhancing the viscosity and resistivity acts to suppress the KHI. Larger values delay the formation of the instability and, in some cases, prevent the onset completely. This leads to the earlier onset of heating for smaller values of the transport coefficients. We note that viscosity has a greater effect on the development of the KHI than resistivity. Furthermore, when using anomalous resistivity, the Ohmic heating rate associated with the KHI may be greater than that associated with the phase mixing that occurs in an instability-suppressed regime (using uniform resistivity). Conclusions - From our study, it is clear that the heating rate crucially depends on the formation of small length scales (influenced by the numerical resolution) as well as the values of resistivity and viscosity. As larger values of the transport coefficients suppress the KHI, the onset of heating is delayed but the heating rate is larger. As increased numerical resolution allows smaller length scales to develop, the heating rate will be higher even for the same transport coefficients.

'If the world itself is shaken': Roman responses to natural disasters from the late Republic to the great famine under Claudius and Nero (65BC – AD63)

description: The historical analysis of ancient natural disasters, that is, those occurrences of natural phenomena resulting in loss of life and human injury, and damage or destruction to human property, is a new field of research. Yet despite its relatively recent emergence, engagement with this new field can inestimably help historians better understand how those belonging to ancient civilizations understood the natural world around them. This thesis examines the responses of various Romans to natural disasters – an area that has received little attention. For, although scholarly works on individual natural disasters such as the Campanian earthquake of AD62, the great fire of Rome in AD64, and the eruption of Vesuvius, certainly exist, there are relatively few treatments on Roman responses to natural disasters in the broader sense, especially during the Julio-Claudian period which predates those of the aforementioned individual natural disasters under Nero and the Flavians. Stringent historical and historiographical investigative approaches are implemented throughout this monograph in order to derive from the Romans themselves, through the writings and other sources of information they left behind – especially in Rome, but also throughout Italy and the empire – how they articulated their understandings of their natural world and its recurring natural disasters. In line with current scholarship I shall illustrate that Roman perceptions were far from homogeneous and that their responses over time were anything but uniform. However, in divergence from what has gone before, this thesis will demonstrate that the Romans made individual and communal decisions as to how they understood and responded to nature and natural disasters. Thus, the responses of Romans at individual and collective levels are explored throughout this thesis. Moreover, it will be shown throughout, that Romans responded to natural disasters essentially in one or more of the following four ways: firstly as a means of survival, secondly as means of religious observance, thirdly, as a means of following a philosophical standpoint, and fourthly as part of civic duty, at an individual (e.g. a princeps) and/or a communal (e.g. a city or social group) level. Most certainly, cultural trends helped shaped how Romans lived, but so too did their own individual attitudes. In this way, this thesis will benefit future historians seeking to better understand the diversity of the Roman world and, indeed, the ancient Romans themselves.

description: The human eye is in constant contact to environmental conditions that increase its likelihood in being exposed to a multitude of pathogens. Studies have revealed that the normal microbial flora found around the ocular area contribute to the well-being of ocular health as they play a critical role in inhibiting the proliferation of other pathogenic species and maintaining the homeostatic balance. However an imbalance in this status quo may lead to diseases including dry eye syndrome, meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD), blepharitis, rosacea, allergies, keratitis, conjunctivitis and immunological conditions such as mucous membrane pemphigoid and Sjogren’s syndrome. Thus, it is important to investigate and understand the role of various microorganisms that lead to these ocular diseases, and this knowledge may lead to better future treatments. This review focuses on recent advances and insights of pathogens and related ocular diseases which can help the audience further understand the etiology and the control of these diseases.

Investigating job satisfaction among early childhood teachers using self-determination theory

description: It is widely understood that in Australia there are high levels of teacher turnover in the early childhood (EC) sector. However, what contributes to the job satisfaction of those early childhood teachers who remain committed to teaching in EC is less understood or researched. In particular there is a limited focus on understanding this effect qualitatively in the current Australian ECEC context. The aim of this study was to develop a deeper understanding of why some teachers felt satisfied in their role, what inspired them to remain in the sector and what was happening in their workplaces that supported their work. This study also tested the validity of Deci and Ryan’s (1985) Self-Determination Theory as a theoretical framework for understanding teacher motivation and job satisfaction. Data occurred in two phases. An online survey was completed by 229 EC teachers working in LDC centres across Australia, who held face-to-face teaching responsibilities. In phase 2, in-depth interviews were conducted with 10 of these teachers who reported high levels of job satisfaction and a low intention to turnover in the on-line survey. Of these teachers, two of their directors were also interviewed and artifacts, including centre philosophy documents were collected for analysis. An analysis of both quantitative and qualitative data resulted in the emergence of three key themes influencing teacher job satisfaction: 1) A culture of continual learning, 2) A living philosophy and 3) A meaningful experience at work. Findings from this study have implications for the early childhood sector at both policy and centre levels, with a particular focus on leadership and organisational strategies to enhance EC teacher job satisfaction.

Exact single-electron approach to the dynamics of molecules in strong laser fields

Year: 2017

description: We present an exact single-electron picture that describes the correlated electron dynamics in strong laser fields. Our approach is based on the factorization of the electronic wavefunction as a product of a marginal and a conditional amplitude. The marginal amplitude, which depends only on one electronic coordinate and yields the exact one-electron density and current density, obeys a time-dependent Schrödinger equation with an effective time-dependent potential. The exact equations are used to derive an approximation that is a step towards a general and feasible ab-initio single-electron approximation for molecules. The derivation also challenges the usual interpretation of the single-active electron approximation. From the study of model systems, we find that the exact and approximate single-electron potentials for processes with negligible two-electron ionization lead to a qualitatively similar dynamics, but that the ionization barrier may be explicitly time-dependent.

description: This study has two main purposes: (1) to investigate whether the sports betting markets of the Australian Football League, the National Rugby League and the A-League are efficient ; (2) to examine whether differences in incentives or competitive balance can explain efficiency differences. Efficiency is tested in three stages. Firstly, historical betting odds are analysed for arbitrage opportunities. Secondly, betting simulations are backtested to determine whether traditional biases such as the favourite-longshot bias exist. Thirdly, the extent of inefficiency is tested directly using a conditional logic model. The data consist of historical odds and league statistics from 2010 to 2015. Between eleven to fifty-five bookmakers are surveyed, depending on the match. The results provide evidence of many arbitrage opportunities, lending support for inefficiency at a rudimentary level. Statistical tesing reveals that average bookmaker odds are weakly efficient. The extent to which incentives and competitive balance can explain efficiency differences is varied.

description: Objectives: To investigate the value of the maximal lesion diameter on preoperative multiparametric/bi-parametric magnetic resonance imaging for estimating the risk of adverse radical prostatectomy pathology. Patients and methods: Consecutive patients (n = 162) with prostate multiparametric or biparametric magnetic resonance images acquired before prostatectomy were retrospectively stratified into two groups: 65 patients with normal MRI (n = 18) or a suspicious lesion <15 mm in diameter (n = 47), and 97 patients with a lesion diameter ≥15 mm. The presence of extraprostatic extension, margin positivity, seminal vesicle invasion, and lymph node metastasis was examined in these groups using logistic regression analysis, including preoperative clinical parameters (prostate-specific antigen concentration, biopsy Gleason grade group, clinical T-stage, and D’Amico risk group). Results: The prevalence of extraprostatic extension, margin positivity, and seminal vesicle invasion was 53.1% (86/162), 22.8% (37/162), and 17.9% (29/162), respectively. Lymphadenectomy was performed in 64 men, of whom 14 had lymph node metastasis. Lesion diameter ≥15 mm strongly predicted extraprostatic extension (Odds ratio: 7.94, 95% confidence interval: 3.87−16.28, p p p = 0.001). Lesion diameter ≥15 mm was an independent risk factor for adverse prostatectomy pathology. Lesion diameter ≥20 mm, but not ≥15 mm, was a significant risk factor for lymph node metastasis. Conclusion: Magnetic resonance imaging lesion diameter ≥15 mm is an independent risk factor for extraprostatic extension, margin positivity and seminal vesicle invasion.

description: Vortices are commonly observed in the context of classical hydrodynamics: from whirlpools after stirring the coffee in a cup to a violent atmospheric phenomenon such as a tornado, all classical vortices are characterized by an arbitrary circulation value of the local velocity field. On the other hand the appearance of vortices with quantized circulation represents one of the fundamental signatures of macroscopic quantum phenomena. In two-dimensional superfluids quantized vortices play a key role in determining finite-temperature properties, as the superfluid phase and the normal state are separated by a vortex unbinding transition, the Berezinskii-Kosterlitz-Thouless transition. Very recent experiments with two-dimensional superfluid fermions motivate the present work: we present theoretical results based on the renormalization group showing that the universal jump of the superfluid density and the critical temperature crucially depend on the interaction strength, providing a strong benchmark for forthcoming investigations.

description: In the limit of infinite number of nodes (agents), the Itô-reduced Bouchaud-Mézard network model of economic exchange has a time-independent mean and a steady-state inverse gamma distribution. We show that for a finite number of nodes the mean is actually distributed as a time-dependent lognormal and inverse gamma is quasi-stationary, with the time-dependent scale parameter.

Linguistic theory and translation practice: the impact of thematic shift on semantic and functional aspects of the translated text

description: The aim of this research is to investigate the linguistic choices made in translated texts. The investigation is conducted through the examination of a sample of more than 40 translated texts and their originals, selected from an archive of some two hundred pairs of texts, which are used as referential resources to illustrate the most common issues found in English into Vietnamese translation. The texts range across many areas of government services from resettlement issues, to housing, education and common health issues, with a particular focus on mental health. The research has been inspired by several underlining questions concerning the relationship between translation theory and practice and linguistic theory, as well as the possible applicability of linguistic notions and methodologies to further the understanding and seeking solutions for many translation problems. It explores various linguistic notions in explaining and describing the most common issues in translation. It then goes on to examine different analytical tools in text analysis for translation purposes such as register analysis, discourse analysis, metafunction analysis, and genre analysis. Eventually it rests with the textual metafunction analysis, the notion proposed by Halliday (1967, 1985, 1994), which is the language component responsible for organizing and constructing the two other language components; i.e. ideational and interpersonal, into a message. Or, as described by Halliday and Matthiessen (1999: 512), the most important function of the textual component is that it creates information “[and] engenders discourse, the patterned forms of wording that constitute meaningful semiotic contexts.” The textual metafunction consists of two interrelated systems, the thematic and information systems, which play a crucial role in the creation of discourse in a communicative event. The research, however, has a particular interest in investigating the impact caused by the transfer of the thematic structure of the source language text (ST) into that of the target language (TT). In order to achieve the above aim certain theoretical notions such as Theme and Rheme, as well as thematic structure, are discussed in the light of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL); and the linguistic resources used to realize Theme in both languages are looked into. With respect to translation, a detailed discussion regarding the relationship between a particular choice of Theme and the intended meaning of the text covers both Chapter IV and Chapter V of the study. The research also examines how meanings made through the thematic choices in the original texts are interpreted and reproduced by the translator, and the effect of this upon the translations.

description: Recent advances in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) instrumentation have made it possible to focus electron beams with sub-atomic precision and to identify the chemical structure of materials at the level of individual atoms. Here we discuss the dynamics that are observed in the structure of low-dimensional materials under electron irradiation, and the potential use of electron beams for single-atom manipulation. As a demonstration of the latter capability, we show how momentum transfer from the electrons of a 60-keV Ångström-sized STEM probe can be used to move silicon atoms embedded in the graphene lattice with atomic precision.

description: We investigate mixed Lusin area integrals associated with Jacobi trigonometric polynomial expansions. We prove that these operators can be viewed as vector-valued Calderón-Zygmund operators in the sense of the associated space of homogeneous type. Consequently, their various mapping properties, in particular on weighted $L^p$ spaces, follow from the general theory.

Rock magnetic properties of uncultivated magnetotactic bacteria and paleo-redox changes across the Paleocene-Eocene boundary, New Jersey Coastal Plain

description: Magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) can biosynthesize ferrimagnetic magnetite (Fe₃O₄) and/or greigite (Fe₃S₄) nanocrystals. Their ubiquitous presence in oxygen-stratified environments makes them useful redox indicators, in addition to being major players in the biogeochemical cycling of iron and other elements. Furthermore, since the MTB magnetite and/or greigite organelles, or magnetosomes, are within the magnetic stable single-domain (SSD) size range, they are candidate carriers of stable remanent magnetization. As such, the detection of fossilized magnetosomes (magnetofossils) is of special interest. Here, at least seven uncultivated MTB morphotypes, including magnetite producers, magnetite and greigite co-producers, and greigite-only producers were collected from the chemically stratified water column of Pettaquamscutt River Estuary, Rhode Island, U.S.A. In stark contrast to putative Neogene greigite magnetofossil records, the anhysteretic remanent magnetization (ARM) coercivity spectra for greigite producing MTB are fundamentally left-skewed with a lower median, and are strikingly similar to magnetite producing MTB. The ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectra of uncultivated MTB are characterized by a wider empirical parameter range than cultured single-chain magnetite magnetosomes, which has important implications for magnetofossil detection by FMR. The MTB population turnover rate, once every 28.3 days, is determined for the first time in the investigated estuary. The associated magnetosome iron flux, 15.3 to 18.2 μg Fe cm⁻² yr⁻¹, is nearly half of the reduced Fe flux in the open Black Sea. The propensity of magnetite and greigite magnetosomes to acquire gyroremanent magnetization (both static and at a high rotation rate of 95 r.p.s.) has been assessed. Compared to framboidal greigite particles that can acquire a strong gyroremanence, magnetosomes acquire significantly less. Lastly, the above newly delineated magnetofossil characteristics are used to probe the unusually magnetic Marlboro Clay at the New Jersey Coastal Plain dating to the Paleocene-Eocene boundary. Analyses of ARM coercivity spectra suggest that between 22-37% of the ARM signal can be attributed to magnetofossils, while semi-quantitative analytical microscopy as well as rotational remanent magnetization (RRM) suggest framboidal greigite as a heretofore overlooked magnetic signal carrier. The redox significance of magnetofossils is assessed by independent inorganic geochemical proxies (trace metal and iron species) as well as lipid biomarkers (gammacerane index and pristane/phytane ratio). Overall, these proxies suggest a transition toward a more reducing condition at this continental margin setting at the onset of abrupt warming with a concomitant negative carbon isotopic excursion.
