(Table 1) Bulk carbonate content of ODP Hole 194-1198A sediments, east of the Great Barrier Reef

Upper Quaternary sediment sequences east of the Great Barrier Reef are characterized by alternating siliciclastic- and carbonate-rich horizons caused by changes in the input of various sedimentary components and reflected in cores by variations in bulk carbonate content. A total of 153 measurements of bulk carbonate content were determined using the carbonate-bomb technique for late Pleistocene sediments between 0 and 23.69 meters below sea floor (mbsf) in Ocean Drilling Program Hole 1198A. Average sample resolution was 15 cm and multiple analyses were performed on each sample. Bulk carbonate content ranges from a maximum of 94 wt% at 13.63 mbsf to a minimum of 73 wt% at 14.54 mbsf. Five cyclic trends are observed that may relate to five major glacial events during the last 500 k.y. of the Quaternary.

Dinoflagellates of multicorer surface sediments

Only very few studies focus on recent calcareous dinoflagellate cyst diversity, geographic distribution and ecology, so that information on the distribution patterns and environmental affinities of individual cyst species is extremely limited. This information is, however, essential if we want to use calcareous dinoflagellate cysts for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction. Surface sediment samples from the generally oligotrophic western equatorial Atlantic Ocean, offshore northeast Brazil, were therefore quantitatively analysed for their calcareous dinoflagellate cyst content, including the calcareous vegetative coccoid Thoracosphaera heimii. Seven calcareous dinoflagellate cyst species/morphotypes and T. heimii were encountered in high concentrations throughout the area. Substantial differences in the distribution patterns were observed. The highest concentrations of cysts are found in sediments of the more oligotrophic, oceanic regions, beyond the influence of Amazon River discharge waters. Dinoflagellates producing calcareous cysts thus appear to be capable of surviving low nutrient concentrations and produce large numbers of cysts in relatively stable and predictable environments affected by minimal seasonality. To test for the environmental affinities of individual species, distribution patterns in surface sediments were compared with temperature, salinity, density and stratification gradients within the upper water column (0-100 m) over different times of the year, using principal components analysis and redundancy analysis. T. heimii and four of the seven encountered cyst species (Sphaerodinella? albatrosiana, two morphotypes of Sphaerodinella? tuberosa and Scrippsiella regalis) relate to these parameters significantly and the variations in the cyst associations appear to be associated with the different surface water currents characterising the area. The results imply that calcareous dinoflagellate cyst distributions can potentially be used to distinguish between different open oceanic environments and they could, therefore, be useful in tracing water mass movements throughout the late Quaternary.

TELEVISÃO REGIONAL: O regional performativo na programação jornalística da TV TEM

Os meios de comunicação que atuam em perspectiva regional alcançaram, inegavelmente, maior visibilidade no contexto da globalização. Em se tratando de emissoras regionais de televisão há, em grande parte dos casos, a afiliação a uma rede nacional. Este estudo é sobre uma emissora regional, a TV TEM Bauru, integrante do grupo TV TEM de afiliadas à Rede Globo de Televisão. O trabalho se fundamenta em conceitos de região, espaço, território e local, mídia local e televisão regional. Tem como objetivo compreender as configurações desta TV, no que se refere às suas origens, vínculos corporativos e as condições de ordem tecnológica, de sustentação comercial e de cobertura jornalística, especificamente, a produção e circulação da informação jornalística gerada e difundida nas cidades da região de cobertura do grupo TV TEM. Visa também caracterizar a relação entre o espaço total de programação ocupado pela cabeça-de-rede em nível nacional e aquele destinado a programas jornalísticos produzidos localmente e, dentro destes, o tempo destinado à veiculação de anúncios publicitários em escala regional. Opta-se pelo método de abordagem dialético, dada a complexidade e as contradições do fenômeno investigado. Trata-se de uma investigação qualitativa do tipo estudo de caso, mas que incorpora dados quantitativos, e se baseia em observação e estudo de conteúdo jornalístico da emissora bauruense, além de pesquisa bibliográfica e documental. A principal conclusão é que o espaço regional é limitado por constrangimentos de ordem comercial, por restrições impostas pela cabeça de rede e, ainda, por um projeto de regionalização que não contempla significativamente as nuanças regionais.(AU)

A study of the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite on melt quenched Bioglass(A (R)) using surface sensitive shallow angle X-ray diffraction

Melt quenched silicate glasses containing calcium, phosphorous and alkali metals have the ability to promote bone regeneration and to fuse to living bone. These glasses, including 45S5 Bioglass(A (R)) [(CaO)(26.9)(Na2O)(24.4)(SiO2)(46.1)(P2O5)(2.6)], are routinely used as clinical implants. Consequently there have been numerous studies on the structure of these glasses using conventional diffraction techniques. These studies have provided important information on the atomic structure of Bioglass(A (R)) but are of course intrinsically limited in the sense that they probe the bulk material and cannot be as sensitive to thin layers of near-surface dissolution/growth. The present study therefore uses surface sensitive shallow angle X-ray diffraction to study the formation of amorphous calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite on Bioglass(A (R)) samples, pre-reacted in simulated body fluid (SBF). Unreacted Bioglass(A (R)) is dominated by a broad amorphous feature around 2.2 A...(-1) which is characteristic of sodium calcium silicate glass. After reacting Bioglass(A (R)) in SBF a second broad amorphous feature evolves similar to 1.6 A...(-1) which is attributed to amorphous calcium phosphate. This feature is evident for samples after only 4 h reacting in SBF and by 8 h the amorphous feature becomes comparable in magnitude to the background signal of the bulk Bioglass(A (R)). Bragg peaks characteristic of hydroxyapatite form after 1-3 days of reacting in SBF.
