Low-temperature diagenetic reactions (less than 50°C) are held responsible for the generation of small amounts of C1-C8 hydrocarbons (less than 100 ng hydrocarbon/g dry weight of sediment) at outer continental shelf Deep Sea Drilling Project Sites 468 and 469 (sub-bottom depths 415 m and 454 m, respectively). In contrast, Site 471 shows an exponential rise in hydrocarbon yields at depths greater than 500 meters. The high yields of C4-C8 hydrocarbons (up to 30 ng hydrocarbon/g dry weight of sediment) in this area of high geothermal and volcanic activity suggest the penetration of an active petroleum-generating zone. Similar arguments apply to Site 467, where relatively high levels (up to 3 µg hydrocarbon/g dry weight sediment) occurred in very shallow (250-600 m) sediments.

Recent benthic foraminifera and their distribution in surface sediments were studied on a transect through the Peruvian oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) between 10 and 12°S. The OMZ with its steep gradients of oxygen concentrations allows to determine the oxygen-dependent changes of species compositions in a relatively small area. Our results from sediments of thirteen multicorer stations from 79 to 823 m water depth demonstrate that calcareous species, especially bolivinids dominate the assemblages throughout the OMZ. The depth distribution of several species matches distinct ranges of bottom water oxygen levels. The distribution pattern inferred a proxy which allows to estimate dissolved oxygen concentrations for reconstructing oxygen levels in the geological past.

Variations of global and regional silicate weathering rates and paleo-ocean circulation patterns are estimated by using radiogenic isotope records, but the effects of changes in provenance are generally ignored. Here sediment provenance has been constrained through the use of Ar-Ar ages for individual detrital minerals from the Labrador Sea, which can be compared directly to the radiogenic isotope compositions from the same core material. Dramatic changes in the radiogenic isotope composition of North Atlantic Deep Water through the Quaternary Period are shown to reflect discrete changes in both sources and weathering processes accompanying Northern Hemisphere glaciation. Changes in the different radiogenic isotope systems reflect the influence of source, physical weathering, and chemical weathering, and not simply changes in the underlying weathering rate or ocean circulation patterns that are typically inferred.

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.

This report describes the U.S. 63 Corridor in terms of its economic and demographic features, the physical characteristics of the existing facility and the traffic it serves. Also, the various improvement alternatives are described and evaluated. These evaluations consider the traffic needs in the time period up to the year 2010, the travel benefits that would derive from alternative improvements to U.S. 63 and the economic development benefits that would be stimulated by such improvements. These benefits are related to the costs of the improvements and various indicators of economic feasibility are provided.

The authors describe the unusual case of a 63-year-old patient who was referred with fever and lethargy, and was found to be hyponatraemic. The patient subsequently developed hemiparesis, and neuroradiology showed several space-occupying brain lesions. The cause was later identified as cerebral toxoplasmosis in undiagnosed Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS).
