On the origin of plankton patchiness
Plankton is the productive base of aquatic ecosystems and plays a major role in the global control of atmospheric carbon dioxide. Nevertheless, after intensive study, the factors that drive its spatial distribution are still far from being clear. The models proposed so far show very limited agreement with actual data as many of their results are not consistent with field observations. Here we s...
متن کاملPhotocatalytic Reduction of CO2 to Formaldehyde: Role of Heterogeneous Photocatalytic Reactions in Origin of Life Hypothesis
Photocatalytic reduction of carbon dioxide to formaldehyde was investigated on four semiconductor photocatalysts (FeS, FeS/FeS2, NiO and TiO2). The reaction was carried out in continues flow of CO2 gas bubbled into the reactor. Semiconductor photocatalysts were characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) and Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopic (DRS) methods. Sulfide ion was used as hole scavenger. T...

متن کاملOrigin of the Eocene Planktonic Foraminifer Hantkenina by Gradual Evolution
Hantkenina is a distinctive planktonic foraminiferal genus characterized by the presence of tubulospines (robust hollow projections) on each adult chamber, from Middle and Upper Eocene marine sediments worldwide. Here we illustrate its evolutionary origin using c. 150 specimens from 30 stratigraphic intervals in two sediment cores from Tanzania. The specimens, which span an estimated time inter...
متن کاملNew Hypothesis on the Origin of Metastases
A new hypothesis for the origin of metastases is presented. It assumes that a cancer-transformed gene in a primary tumour is incorporated in its identical form via a virus-vector function into biologically potent recipient cells in other organs, such as stem cells, multipotent cells or cells in an early phase of division. The origin of metastases may thus possibly occur via a genetic pathway.
