Sediment and pore water N and d15N concentrations of ODP Holes 202-1234A and 202-1235A

The isotopic composition of nitrogen in pore water ammonium and in sedimentary organic matter (Norg) was measured at Sites 1234 and 1235 in order to evaluate the impact of long-term (>100 k.y.) diagenesis on d15N of preserved organic matter. At both sites, the average d15N of pore water ammonium and Norg are within 0.2 per mil to 0.4 per mil. The small difference is less than the analytical uncertainty, indicating that no significant isotopic fractionation is associated with decomposition of organic matter in these sediments. A mass balance for nitrogen was also computed, indicating that ~20% of the organic matter flux buried below 1.45 meters composite depth (mcd) is degraded between this depth and 40 mcd (Site 1235) to 60 mcd (Site 1234) depth. Two factors determine the absence of isotopic fractionation in these sediments: 1. A high degree of organic matter preservation due to rapid sediment accumulation rates at both sites. 2. The dominance of a marine component in the sedimentary organic matter (with only a small fraction contributed by a terrestrial component).

De condes a reyes : los señores de Champaña herederos del reino de Navarra (1234)

Resumen: En el presente estudio consideramos los diversos aspectos de la crisis que vivió el reino de Navarra en 1234, a la muerte del rey Sancho VII, sin herederos directos legítimos. Centramos el análisis en los siguientes aspectos: 1) la decisión real de un acuerdo de prohijamiento mutuo con el rey de Aragón y la voluntad de los señores del reino de hacer prevalecer la sucesión legítima en defensa de la integridad y soberanía del reino; 2) la valoración del desarrollo experimentado en el condado de Champaña y su presencia en el reino de Francia; 3) la entronización de Teobaldo I en el reino de Navarra y el estudio de los aspectos significativos de su acción de gobierno desarrollada en los campos: legislativo, administrativo y social.

Diário da Constituinte [gravação de vídeo] : [programa n. 202]

Deputados progressistas da Assembleia Nacional Constituinte (ANC) se unem para apresentar emendas. Divididos em vinte e nove grupos, avaliam o substitutivo do Relator Bernardo Cabral (PMDB-AM). O Deputado Plínio Arruda Sampaio (PT-SP) considera que, se formarem uma base sólida, os progressistas terão melhores condições de negociar com os outros grupos. O Deputado Vivaldo Barbosa (PDT-RJ) informa dos pontos de consenso do grupo. Na Sessão para discussão de emendas populares, o debate dos direitos dos trabalhadores teve com ponto polêmico a estabilidade no emprego. Luiz Carlos Mandelli, representando o movimento pela livre iniciativa, critica a emenda que dá estabilidade ao empregado. O Deputado Mário Lima (PMDB-BA) afirma que os empresários estão cometendo um equívoco muito grande, pois o trabalhador quando tem estabilidade no emprego produz mais e melhor. Outra emenda popular propõe que o serviço de transporte coletivo seja estatizado. Ela foi defendida por João Bosco, Presidente da CONAN (Confederação Nacional das Associações de Moradores), que considera que cabe às prefeituras a gestão, planejamento e operacionalização do transporte coletivo. A CONAN ainda reivindica 25% do orçamento nacional para a construção de casas populares. Dalva Stella Medeiros (Vice-presidente da CONAN) defende que o poder público deve assumir o direito à moradia popular para todos os cidadãos. Na sessão O Povo Pergunta, cidadã gostaria de saber se os constituintes estão pensando em fazer uma Constituição voltada para pequenos interesses ou para os interesses da grande maioria da população. O Deputado Assis Canuto (PFL-RO) responde que há uma tendência de particularizar a Constituição brasileira, mas cabe a sociedade e aos constituintes fazerem uma Constituição para todos os brasileiros.

Generation time and utilization of energy by aquatic bacteria. [Translation from: Trudy Instituta Biologii Vnutrennykh Vodnany 11(14), 198-202, 1966.]

Recent research has shown that the biomass of bacteria in lakes and other water-bodies can attain significant values. The huge production of bacteria is brought about by their great rate of reproduction. In a series of cases their biomass exceeds the biomass of phytoplankton. Therefore in a study of the biological productivity of water bodies it is necessary to calculate the biomass and production not only of the phyto- and zooplankton, but also of bacteria.The authors uses different methods and formulae to to compare the time of one generation of the bacteria.

On a method of determination of chlorophyll in cells of algae collected on a membrane filter. [Translation from: Trudy Instituta Biologii Vnutrennykh Vodnany 11(14), 198-202, 1966.]

The original method, proposed by Yentsch (1957), of determination of chlorophyll directly in the cells, attracts attention by its simplicity. In order to measure the content of chlorophyll by this method, a determined volume of suspension of algae is filtered through a membrane filter. The latter is dried a little, clarified by immersion oil, clamped between two glasses, and spectrophotometrized. Extinction is read off at , wavelengths equal to 670 millimicrons (around the maximum absorption of chlorophyll a in the cell) and 750 millimicrons (correction for non- specific absorption and dispersion of light by particles of the preparation). The method of Yentsch was employed by the authors for determination of chlorophyll-a in samples of phytoplankton. They conclude that in spite of the simplicity and convenience of determination the method must be applied sufficiently carefully. It is more suitable for analysis of cultures of algae, where, non-specific absorption of light is insignificant.

Study on the dynamics of the population of a copepod (Eudiaptomus vulgaris Schmeil). [Translation from: Memorie dell'Istituto Italiano di Idrobiologia Dott.Marco de Marchi 13 179-202, 1961. ]

Eudiaptomus vulgaris Schmeil is the most abundant copepod in Lake Maggiore and forms also, in respect to other entomostraca, the most important element, through its average biomass and because it is fairly numerous throughout the year. Plankton samples collected in a systematic and quantitative way, gave the opportunity to study some aspects of the dynamics of the population of this copepod, in safety in view of the uncertainty which in this kind of study can ensue when samples are taken only at a single station - in consequence of the changes in size of population between different water masses. The results of the biometrical observations are of the population of Eudiaptomus vulgaris is presented.

Polyimides Derived from 1,4-Bis [3-oxy-(N-aminophthalimide)] Benzene

A novel diamine, 1,4-bis [3-oxy-(N-aminophthalimide)] benzene (BOAPIB), was synthesized from 1,4-bis [3-oxy-(N-phenylphthalimide)] benzene and hydrazine. Its structure was determined via IR, H-1 NMR, and elemental analysis. A series of five-member ring, hydrazine-based polyimides were prepared from this diamine and various aromatic dianhydrides via one-step polycondensation in p-chlorophenol. The inherent viscosities of these polyimides were in the range of 0.17-0.61 dL/g. These polymers were soluble in polar aprotic solvents and phenols at room temperature. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed that the 5% weight-loss temperatures of the polyimides were near 450 degrees C in air and 500 degrees C in nitrogen. Dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA) indicated that the glass-transition temperatures (T(g)s) of these polymers were in the range of 265-360 degrees C. The wide-angle X-ray diffraction showed that all the polyimides were amorphous.
