Geological and trace element evidence for a marine sedimentary environment of deposition and biogenicity of 3.45 Ga stromatolitic carbonates in the Pilbara Craton, and support for a reducing Archaean ocean

Bedded carbonate rocks from the 3.45 Ga Warrawoona Group, Pilbara Craton, contain structures that have been regarded either as the oldest known stromatolites or as abiotic hydrothermal deposits. We present new field and petrological observations and high-precision REE + Y data from the carbonates in order to test the origin of the deposits. Trace element geochemistry from a number of laminated stromatolitic dolomite samples of the c. 3.40 Ga Strelley Pool Chert conclusively shows that they precipitated from anoxic seawater, probably in a very shallow environment consistent with previous sedimentological observations. Edge-wise conglomerates in troughs between stromatolites and widespread cross-stratification provide additional evidence of stromatolite construction, at least partly, from layers of particulate sediment, rather than solely from rigid crusts. Accumulation of particulate sediment on steep stromatolite sides in a high-energy environment suggests organic binding of the surface. Relative and absolute REE + Y contents are exactly comparable with Late Archaean microbial carbonates of widely agreed biological origin. Ankerite from a unit of bedded ankerite–chert couplets from near the top of the stratigraphically older (3.49 Ga) Dresser Formation, which immediately underlies wrinkly stromatolites with small, broad, low-amplitude domes, also precipitated from anoxic seawater. The REE + Y data of carbonates from the Strelley Pool Chert and Dresser Formation contrast strongly with those from siderite layers in a jasper–siderite–Fe-chlorite banded iron-formation from the base of the Panorama Formation (3.45 Ga), which is clearly hydrothermal in origin. The geochemical results, together with sedimentological data, strongly support: (1) deposition of Dresser Formation and Strelley Pool Chert carbonates from Archaean seawater, in part as particulate carbonate sediment; (2) biogenicity of the stromatolitic carbonates; (3) a reducing Archaean atmosphere; (4) ongoing extensive terrestrial erosion prior to ∼3.45 Ga.

A trace element study of siderite-jasper banded iron formation in the 3.45 Ga Warrawoona Group, Pilbara Craton - Formation from hydrothermal fluids and shallow seawater

Shale-normalised rare earth element and yttrium (REE + Y) patterns for siderite-jasper couples in a banded iron formation of the 3.45 Ga Panorama Formation, Warrawoona Group, eastern Pilbara Craton, display distinct positive Y and Eu anomalies and weak positive La and Gd anomalies, combined with depleted light REE relative to middle and heavy REE. Ambient seawater and hydrothermal fluids are identified as major sources of REE + Y for the BIF. In the case of siderites, strong correlations between incompatible trace elements and trace element ratios diagnostic of seawater indicate variable input from a terrigenous source (e.g. volcanic ash). We propose a volcanic caldera setting as a likely depositional environment where jasper and siderite precipitated as alternating bands in response to episodic changes in ambient water chemistry. The episodicity was either driven by fluctuations in the intensity of hydrothermal activity or changes in magma chamber activity, which in turn controlled relative sea level. In this context, precipitation of jasper probably reflects background conditions during which seawater was saturated in silica due to evaporative conditions, while siderites were deposited most likely during intermittent periods of enhanced volcanic activity when seawater was more acidic due to the release of exhalative phases (e.g. CO2). © 2005 Elsevier B.V.

Perspectivas hermenêuticas de Isaías 45,1-7: Uma análise do título messiânico atribuído a Ciro.

O livro do profeta Dêutero-Isaías aborda que Javé vem consolar seu povo exilado na Babilônia. O rei estrangeiro Ciro, no texto de Is 45,1-7 é intitulado de Messias de Javé. Portanto, esta pesquisa tem como objetivo refletir sobre o título messiânico atribuído ao rei Ciro, no contexto do exílio babilônico. Para isto, analiso algumas contribuições de diversos autores e autoras da área bíblica, explorando a diversidade de pesquisas sobre este tema. Há muitas interpretações sobre o significado do título messiânico atribuído ao rei Ciro, entre elas, há quem define Ciro como o Messias de Javé, ou seja, Ciro como libertador dos exilados e não como o substituto da esperança messiânica em um Messias proveniente da casa de Davi. Neste trabalho, discuto ainda a esperança messiânica, manifesta no período exílico e pós-exílico, destacando a fé que as comunidades messiânicas exerciam nestes períodos. Enfim, analiso o messianismo das comunidades pós-macabaicas e neo-testamentárias na tentativa de descobrir se Ciro era uma figura messiânica, nestes períodos.

Edizione critica del volgarizzamento fiorentino dell'Estoire d'Eracles (Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, ms. Plut. LXI.45)

Edizione critica del volgarizzamento fiorentino trecentesco dell'"Estoire d'Eracles", contenuto nel ms. Plut. LXI.45 della Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana, ancora inedito. Si tratta della traduzione in antico francese dell'opera di Guglielmo di Tiro "Historia rerum in partibus transamarinis gestarum", corredata di continuazioni svincolate all'opera latina e in stretto legame con la "Chronique d'Ernoul et de Bernard le Trésorier", che proseguono la narrazione degli eventi in Terrasanta. Il testo fiorentino riporta i fatti d'Oltremare dalla Prima Crociata a circa il 1231. La sua edizione è preceduta da una introduzione letterario-filologica, dalla descrizione del manoscritto e dall'analisi linguistica; seguono un glossario, l'indice dei nomi e dei luoghi.

Characterization of 45º-tilted fiber grating and its polarization function in fiber ring laser

We have proposed and demonstrated a fiber ring laser with single-polarization output using an intracavity 45°-tilted fiber grating (45°-TFG). The properties of the 45°-TFG have been investigated both theoretically and experimentally. The fiber ring laser incorporating the 45°-TFG has been systematically characterized, showing a significant improvement in the polarization extinction ratio (PER) and achieving a PER of >30 dB. The slope efficiencies of the ring laser with and without the 45°-TFG have been measured. This laser shows a very stable polarized output with a PER variation of less than 2 dB for 5 hours at laboratory conditions. In addition, we also demonstrated the tunability of the laser.

High extinction ratio in-fibre polarisers based on 45° tilted fibre Bragg gratings

We report a near-ideal in-fiber polarizer implemented by use of 45° tilted fiber Bragg grating structures that are UV inscribed in hydrogenated Ge-doped fiber. We demonstrate a polarization-extinction ratio of 33 dB over a 100-nm operation range near 1550 nm. We further show an achievement of 99.5% degree of polarization for unpolarized light with these gratings. We also theoretically investigate tilted grating structures based on the Green's function calculation, therein revealing the unique polarization characteristics, which are in excellent agreement with experimental data.

All-fiber polarization interference filters based on 45°-tilted fiber gratings

We report all-fiber polarization interference filters, known as Lyot and Lyot-Ohman filters, based on alternative concatenation of UV-inscribed fiber gratings with structure tilted at 45° and polarization maintaining (PM) fiber cavities. Such filters generate comb-like transmission of linear polarization output. The free spectral range (FSR) of a single-stage (Lyot) filter is PM fiber cavity length dependent, as a 20 cm long cavity showed a 26.6 nm FSR while the 40 cm one exhibited a 14.8 nm FSR. Furthermore, we have theoretically and experimentally demonstrated all-fiber 2-stage and 3-stage Lyot-Ohman filters, giving more freedom in tailoring the transmission characteristics.

High extinction ratio in-fibre polarizer based on a 45º titled fibre Bragg grating

We report an in-fiber polarizer implemented using a 45° tilted FBG. Polarization extinction ratio of 28dB at 1550nm and HMFW over 80nm has been demonstrated. When the un-polarized light passes this device, 99.5% of degree of polarization can be achieved.
