High resolution geochemical analyses of ODP Leg 119 samples

Higher resolution pore-water samples were recovered at intervals of 0.3 to 3 m from selected cores during Leg 119 in order to identify zones where active geochemical reactions were occurring. In addition to shipboard measurements, solid- and dissolved-phase samples were analyzed at my shore-based laboratory. Solid-phase samples were analyzed for redox conditions, carbon, total metals, and leachable metals. Pore-water samples were analyzed for ammonia, silica, sulfate, and major cations. Data are presented in tables for 400 samples from Site 739 in Prydz Bay, East Antarctica, and Sites 736, 737, 738, 744, 745, and 746 at the Kerguelen Ridge, South Indian Ocean.

Investigating the peculiar emission from the new VHE gamma-ray source H1722+119

The MAGIC (Major Atmospheric Gamma-ray Imaging Cherenkov) telescopes observed the BL Lac object H1722+119 (redshift unknown) for six consecutive nights between 2013 May 17 and 22, for a total of 12.5 h. The observations were triggered by high activity in the optical band measured by the KVA (Kungliga Vetenskapsakademien) telescope. The source was for the first time detected in the very high energy (VHE, E > 100 GeV) γ-ray band with a statistical significance of 5.9 σ. The integral flux above 150 GeV is estimated to be (2.0 ± 0.5) per cent of the Crab Nebula flux. We used contemporaneous high energy (HE, 100MeV < E < 100 GeV) γ-ray observations from Fermi-LAT (Large Area Telescope) to estimate the redshift of the source. Within the framework of the current extragalactic background light models, we estimate the redshift to be z = 0.34±0.15. Additionally, we used contemporaneous X-ray to radio data collected by the instruments on board the Swift satellite, the KVA, and the OVRO (Owens Valley Radio Observatory) telescope to study multifrequency characteristics of the source. We found no significant temporal variability of the flux in the HE and VHE bands. The flux in the optical and radio wavebands, on the other hand, did vary with different patterns. The spectral energy distribution (SED) of H1722+119 shows surprising behaviour in the ∼ 3×1014 −1018 Hz frequency range. It can be modelled using an inhomogeneous helical jet synchrotron self-Compton model.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 745 ]

Apresenta os capítulos referentes aos direitos dos cidadãos. A Nova Constituição estabelece, que todos são iguais perante a lei, destacando pontos relevantes, como o direito do cidadão de iniciativa de projetos de lei, o que demonstra grande avanço. Quanto aos direitos dos trabalhadores, há uma nova relação entre o capital e trabalho no país, inclusive na área rural. No capítulo referente à família foi possível estabelecer o direito ao planejamento familiar.

On distribution of pollen in lakes. [Translation from: Palynology in geological research in the Baltic Soviet Republics p113-119. Vilnius, 1973.]

Systematic investigations of the distribution of pollen in stationary water bodies until now have hardly been conducted. For clarification of the problem of how the pollen of different plants which falls into a lake is deposited in relation to its physical properties, the character of the lake, wind currents and other factors, pollen analyses were carried out of surface samples of the bottom sediments of 13 Lithuanian lakes. Lakes were selected of different sizes (areas from 2333 ha. to 8 ha.) and different depths, not uniformly overgrown, situated in different physico-geographic regions of Lithuania. As a result of the investigation, it was established that in the surface layer of the sediments of the lakes of Lithuania pollen of woody species predominates.
