Porphyrin geochemistry of DSDP Hole 71-511

Late Jurassic-early Cretaceous black shales and an overlying sequence of Albian-Campanian zeolitic claystones from the Falkland Plateau (DSDP/IPOD Leg 71, Site 511) were analyzed for tetrapyrrole pigment type and abundance. The "black shale" sequence was found to be rich in DPEP-series dominated free-base, nickel (Ni) and, to a lesser extent, vanadyl (V = 0) porphyrins. A low level of organic maturity (i.e. precatagenesis) is indicated for these strata as nickel chelation by free-base porphyrins is only 50-75% complete, proceeding down-hole to 627 meters sub-bottom. Electronic and mass spectral data reveal that the proposed benzo-DPEP (BD) and tetrahydrobenzo-DPEP (THBD) series are present in the free-base and Ni species, as well as the more usual occurrence in V = 0 porphyrin arrays. Highly reducing conditions are suggested by an abundance of the PAH perylene, substantial amounts of the THBD/BD series and a redox equilibrium between free-base DPEP and 7,8-dihydro-DPEP series, which exist in a 7:1 molar ratio. The Albian-Campanian claystone strata were found to be tetrapyrrolepoor, and those pigments present were typed as Cu/Ni highly dealkylated (C26 max.) etioporphyrins, thought to be derived via redeposition and oxidation of terrestrial organic matter (OM). Results from the present study are correlated to our past analyses of Jurassic-Cretaceous sediments from Atlantic margins in an effort to relate tetrapyrrole quality and quantity to basin evolution and OM sources in the proto-Atlantic.

Radiomic Texture Analysis Mapping Predicts Areas of True Functional MRI Activity.

Individual analysis of functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scans requires user-adjustment of the statistical threshold in order to maximize true functional activity and eliminate false positives. In this study, we propose a novel technique that uses radiomic texture analysis (TA) features associated with heterogeneity to predict areas of true functional activity. Scans of 15 right-handed healthy volunteers were analyzed using SPM8. The resulting functional maps were thresholded to optimize visualization of language areas, resulting in 116 regions of interests (ROIs). A board-certified neuroradiologist classified different ROIs into Expected (E) and Non-Expected (NE) based on their anatomical locations. TA was performed using the mean Echo-Planner Imaging (EPI) volume, and 20 rotation-invariant texture features were obtained for each ROI. Using forward stepwise logistic regression, we built a predictive model that discriminated between E and NE areas of functional activity, with a cross-validation AUC and success rate of 79.84% and 80.19% respectively (specificity/sensitivity of 78.34%/82.61%). This study found that radiomic TA of fMRI scans may allow for determination of areas of true functional activity, and thus eliminate clinician bias.

Geochemistry of tetrapyrrole, carotenoid, and perylene pigments in sediments at DSDP Holes 63-467 and 63-471

Twenty-one core samples from DSDP/IPOD Leg 63 were analyzed for products of chlorophyll diagenesis. In addition to the tetrapyrrole pigments, perylene and carotenoid pigments were isolated and identified. The 16 core samples from the San Miguel Gap site (467) and the five from the Baja California borderland location (471) afforded the unique opportunity of examining tetrapyrrole diagenesis in clay-rich marine sediments that are very high in total organic matter. The chelation reaction, whereby free-base porphyrins give rise to metalloporphyrins (viz., nickel), is well documented within the downhole sequence of sediments from the San Miguel Gap (Site 467). Recognition of unique arrays of highly dealkylated copper and nickel ETIO-porphyrins, exhibiting nearly identical carbonnumber homologies (viz., C-23 to C-30; mode = C-26), enabled subtraction of this component (thought to be derived from an allochthonous source) and thus permitted description of the actual in situ diagenesis of autochthonous chlorophyll derivatives.

A 330-360 GHz spectral survey of G 34.3+0.15 .1. Data and physical analysis

A 330--360 GHz spectral survey of the hot molecular core associated with the 'cometary' ultracompact HII region G 34.3+/-0.15 observed with the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope has detected 338 spectral lines from at least 35 distinct chemical species plus 19 isotopomers. 70 lines remain unidentified. Chemical abundance and rotation temperature have been determined by rotation diagram analysis for 12 species, and lower limits to abundance found for 38 others.

青藏高原高寒草甸生态系统稳定性研究

青藏高原生态系统对全球气候变化较为敏感，系统的行为能更早地预兆全球变化，进而影响到邻近地区乃至全球气候．因此，青藏高原生态系统的行为研究具有特殊重要性．利用中国科学院海北高寒草甸生态系统定位站多年来积累观测的长时间序列数据，运用生态系统稳定性直接分析方法，定量分析高寒草甸生态系统的稳定性及其对环境变化的灵敏度．结果表明，高寒草甸生态系统的主要气候因子如年降水、年均气温都比较稳定（CV值分别为16．55％和28．82％），而年度地上净初级生产量较降水和气温更为稳定（CV值为13．18％）．净初级生产量关于降水和气温的灵敏度或弹性分别为E=0．0782和0．1113，即净初级生产量对降水和气温的波动均不敏感，也说明高寒草甸生态系统具有较高的稳定性．通过高寒草甸生态系统与世界其他地区5个草地生态系统的稳定性度量值横向比较，也显示出该系统的稳定性程度较高．结构相对比较简单的高寒草甸生态系统有较高的稳定性，说明群落稳定性虽然与物种多样性和群落复杂性有关，但未必成正比关系．还有其他一些因素与生态系统稳定性密切相关，如生物群落的外部环境稳定程度等．高寒草甸生态系统的主要气候因子（年降水和年均气温）以34年的主周期随机低频振荡，在其作用下生态系统的行为呈现同主周期、振幅比较稳定的随机波动．高寒草甸生态系统的较高稳定性，是较稳定的环境和系统适应环境的进化演替结果．

A 330-360 GHz spectral survey of G34.3+0.15 .2. Chemical modelling

We describe a detailed depth-and time-dependent model of the molecular cloud associated with the ultracompact H II region G 34.3+0.15. Previous work on observations of NH3 and CS indicates that the molecular cloud has three distinct physical components:- an ultracompact hot core, a compact hot core and an extended halo. We have used the physical parameters derived from these observations as input to our detailed chemical kinetic modelling. The results of the model calculations are discussed with reference to the different chemistries occuring in each component and are compared with abundances derived from our recent spectral line survey of G 34.3+0.15 (Paper I).
