Slides were examined using standard polarized light microscopy (Olympus BX53, Japan Agency for Marine-Earth Science and Technology, JAMSTEC) and scanning electron microscopy imaging (Zeiss Gemini DSM 982, University of Graz). Absolute alkenone-producing nannofossils (APN) abundance estimates are given ...
There is unequivocal evidence that student engagement in reading for enjoyment has many wide-ranging and long-term benefits. Yet, obstacles are mounting in
Accuracy was monitored with the 44069 monazite standard (TIMS normalisation data: 207Pb/206Pb ¼ 425.3 Æ 1.1 Ma, 206Pb/238U ¼ 424.86 Æ 0.36 Ma and 207Pb/235U ¼ 424.89 Æ 0.35 Ma; Aleinikoff et al., 2006) and an in- house monazite standard 94-222/Bruna-NW (ca. 450 ...
Note: Minimum (min), maximum (max), average (mean) values, standard deviation (Stdev) and coefficient of variants were calculated from the means determined for the 11 cultivars. The significantly lower levels of glutenin, gliadin and soluble proteins and the γ and ω gliadins as well as the...
A natural standard (ILC-G31) is analysed daily to monitor instrumental precision. Optically stimulated luminescence. The dated sites are well bleached, finely stratified aeolian deposits lacking any visible evidence of post-depositional bioturbation or other mixing. Sediment samples for OSL dating were ...
The key issues addressed in this chapter concern how the uniqueness of Aunty was being debilitated by paranoia over what the literature described as the “ancient hatreds” between the Murdochs and the ABC, where Rupert Murdoch is one of the major...
standard formulae found in Magurran (1988). We cal- culated basal areas, family importance values (FIV) and an individual value index (IVI) for each species. We calculated the FIV’s using the formula of Mori et al. (1983), namely ...
(2002). This fraction was subsequently passed through aluminium oxide (Al2O3) columns, and spiked with a deuterated C46 standard (Huguet et al., 2006), monitoring m/z 748. A one-point calibration was used to quantify GDGTs using the internal standard. The analysis was by HPLC-MS, ...
Distinct volumes are represented by sets of Lagrangian particles that are embedded within a standard Eulerian finite element mesh, which discretizes the problem and solves the governing equations. For additional information on the numerical technique and the nondimensional equations used the reader is ...
It is worthy of note that about 20ml of atmospheric gases are dissolved in a litre of water under standard conditions of temperature and pressure. These gases can be removed almost completely, for example by freezing and thawing under a vacuum. Dispersions of hydrocarbon or fluorocarbon oils can...
