Middle Eocene to Pleistocene calcareous nannofossils of ODP Leg 113 holes

Long sequences of Upper Cretaceous through Quaternary sediments rich in calcareous and siliceous microfossils were recovered at Ocean Drilling Program Sites 689 and 690 on Maud Rise off East Antarctica. These sites have become the southernmost anchor in the Atlantic Basin for bio-, magneto-, chemostratigraphic, and paleobiogeographic studies. ODP Sites 692 and 693 on the Weddell Sea margin of East Antarctica and Site 696 on the South Orkney microcontinent of West Antarctica yielded calcareous nannofossils within some stratigraphic intervals. Sites 691, 692, 694, 695, and 697 did not recover Cenozoic calcareous nannofossils. Calcareous nannofossil biostratigraphy suggests a major hiatus across the Paleogene/Neogene boundary at Sites 689 and 690, and two additional hiatuses in the middle Eocene-lower Oligocene section at Site 690. Correlation with magnetostratigraphy reveals: the last occurrence (LO) of Reticulofenestra umbilica at Maud Rise is over 1 m.y. younger than that at the middle-latitude sites; the LO of Isthmolithus recurvus is synchronous in the middle-latitude and high-latitude areas (about 34.8 Ma); Reticulofenestra oamaruensis ranges from 38.0 to 36.0 Ma at Maud Rise; Reticulofenestra reticulata has a shorter range at Maud Rise (42.1 to 38.9 Ma) than at the middle-latitude DSDP Site 516; the range of Chiasmolithus oamaruensis is diachronous over different latitudes; and the LO of Chiasmolithus solitus is a good datum at 41.3 Ma from 30°S to 65°S in the South Atlantic Ocean. Comparison of calcareous nannofossil abundances in a latitudinal transect shows: Reticulofenestra bisecta is a temperate-water species and its LO, which crosses below that of Chiasmolithus altus at Maud Rise, is not applicable for the Paleogene/Neogene boundary in high southern latitude areas; Clausicoccus fenestratus is rare or absent at Maud Rise and can not be used as a marker; Coccolithus formosus is a warm-water species which disappeared earlier toward higher latitudes. Calcareous nannofossil assemblages indicate that by at least the middle Eocene, surface water temperatures became considerably lower in the high southern latitudes than in the middle-latitude areas and that there have been more extreme cold events in the high latitudes during the Neogene. Bicolumnus ovatus n. gen., n. sp. is proposed in this paper.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 113]

O esboço da nova Constituição está pronto. Bernardo Cabral (PMDB-AM) relata que o esboço reflete exatamente o que foi decidido nas comissões temáticas. Sobre a reforma agrária, Fernando Henrique Cardoso (PMDB-SP) relata que o texto permite emendas que propiciem a manutenção da produção e o acesso à terra. Os direitos individuais também sofreram modificações e Nelson Jobim (PMDB-RS) relata que os conceitos foram bem sistematizados e fundamentados. O esboço da Constituição foi entregue ao presidente da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC), Ulysses Guimarães (PMDB-SP) e será reexaminado por todos os membros da Comissão de Sistematização da ANC. Na sessão O Povo Pergunta, cidadão quer saber como fica a questão do emprego. Domingos Leonelli (PMDB-BA) responde que houve um avanço considerável com a redução da jornada de trabalho para 40 horas semanais. José Walter Filho, coordenador do Sine-DF, diz que a questão do desemprego é estrutural e o próprio sistema estatal de emprego não chega a atender 2% do desemprego a nível nacional. Aloísio Vasconcelos (PMDB-MG) acredita que o desemprego está associado a políticas nacionais e que uma política de emprego se faz necessária, ao invés de políticas econômicas que geram emprego ou desemprego, dependendo da ocasião . Virgílio Galassi (PDS-MG) entende que o desemprego depende também do empregador. Celso Dourado (PMDB-BA) relata que deve-se evitar a política monetarista que valoriza o capital, não o trabalho. Olívio Dutra (PT-RS) afirma que dentro do capitalismo brasileiro há formas de minimizar o desemprego.

Untersuchungen am Köhler in der nördlichen Nordsee (Ergebnisse der 113. Reise des FFS "Walther Herwig")

Im Rahmen des Internationalen Jungfischprogramms des ICES untersuchten von Januar bis März 1991 Forschungsschiffe mehrerer Nationen die Jungtischbestände der Nordsee. FFS "Walther Hcrwig" beteiligte sich vom 13. Januar bis 15. Februar an diesen Untersuchungen.

Cytological aspects of gonadotropic cells and pre-opticoneurohypophysial neurosecretion during the ovarian cycle of Eudontomyzon danfordi. [Translation from: Studia Univ.Babes-Bolyai, Biologia 18 105-113, 1973.]

The connection between the activity of the gonadotropic cells of the hypophysis and the neurosecretion in the pre-optico neuro-hypophysial system in different groups of vertebrates has been examined by many authors. It has been established that in many species there exists some kind of synchronism between the sexual cycle and the cellular activity of neurosecretion, a fact that has led to the prevailing idea that gonadotropic activity in the hypophysis is regulated by the hypothalamus. This paper summarises the results of experiments made in this direction on Cyclostomata. The materials for research came from adult individuals of Eudontomyson danfordi Regan taken from the rivers Somes-Rece and Ivo (Harghita district) at different times of the year.

Morphology and photoluminescence of GeSi self-assembled quantum dot on Si(113)

Morphology of self-assembled GeSi quantum dot grown on Si(113) by Si molecular beam epitaxy has been studied by transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. Photoluminescence from the as-grown sample and annealed sample was studied. The results were analyzed and explained.

The structures and transformations on Si(113) surface

The surface structures of the Si(113)-(1 X 1), Si(113)-(3 X 1) and Si(113)-(3 X 2) have been studied theoretically by means of an ab initio quantum chemical CNDO method. We address not only the importance of the surface energy but also the energy minimization and the barrier height in the different structural conversion. We found that (1) the relaxed Si(113)-(1 X 1) structure. (2) the Si(113)-(3 X 1) close to the Si(113) Ranke (3 X 1)-2 model; (3) the atomic positions of Si(113)-(3 X 2) corrugated arrangement.

Kinetics of dissociative water adsorption on stepped Si(001), on Si(115), Si(113), Si(5,5,12) and Si(112)

We present photoelectron spectroscopic and low energy electron diffraction measurements of water adsorption on flat Si samples of the orientations (001), (115), (113), (5,5,12) and (112) as well as on curved samples covering continuously the ranges (001)-(117) and (113)-(5,5,12)-(112). On all orientations, water adsorption is dissociative (OH and H) and non-destructive. On Si(001) the sticking coefficient S and the saturation coverage Theta(sat) are largest. On Si(001) and for small miscuts in the [110]-azimuth, S is constant nearly up to saturation which proves that the kinetics involves a weakly bound mobile precursor state. For (001)-vicinals with high miscut angles (9-13 degrees), the step structure breaks down, the precursor mobility is affected and the adsorption kinetics changed. On (115), (113), (5,5,12) and (112), the values of S and Theta(sat) are smaller which indicates that not all sites are able to dissociate and bind water. For (113) the shape of the adsorption curves Theta versus exposure shows the existence of two adsorption processes, one with mobile precursor kinetics and one with Langmuir-like kinetics. On (5,5,12), two processes with mobile precursor kinetics are observed which are ascribed to adsorption on different surface regions within the large surface unit cell. From the corresponding values of S and Theta(sat), data for structure models are deduced. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.

Hydrogen adsorption induced surface reconstructions on Si(113) studied by LEED

Surface reconstructions on Si(113) induced by dissociated hydrogen adsorption have been studied using low energy electron diffraction (LEED). It has been found that: (1) at 300 K and 80 K temperatures, with the increase of hydrogen coverage on the surface, the (3 x 1) phase transferred continuously into a hydrogen saturated (1 x 1)-2H phase; (2) flashing of the (1 x 1)-2H surface at about 1100 degrees C resulted in a complete new phase of(1 x 3) and further annealing of the sample at 1250 degrees C gave back the starting surface of (3 x 1); (3) saturated hydrogen adsorption at a sample temperature of 700 degrees C resulted in a stable new phase of(1 x 2)-H and further saturation doses of hydrogen at other temperatures below 700 degrees C did not change the (1 x 2) LEED pattern; (4) annealing of the (I x 2)-H surface in the same manner as (2) gave similar results.
