[1] Until recently, very few high-quality deep ocean sedimentary sections of Eocene age have been available. Consequently, our understanding of Eocene paleoceanography has become heavily reliant on ''composite'' records patched together from multiple sites in different ocean basins and generated using multiple taxa (potential sources of ''local'' noise in the global signal). Here we test the reliability of the early to middle Eocene composite d 18 O and d 13 C stratigraphies (Zachos et al., 2001) by generating new monospecific records in benthic foraminiferal calcite from a single locality, Demerara Rise, in the tropical western Atlantic (Ocean Drilling Program Leg 207). We present new stable isotope correction factors for commonly used Eocene benthic foraminiferal species. We find that interspecies isotopic offsets are constant across the isotopic range, supporting the notion that the inconstant intertaxa offsets reported elsewhere result from mixing species within genera. In general, the d 18 O stratigraphy from Demerara Rise supports the validity of the Eocene d 18 O composite, while revealing a temporary warming punctuating middle Eocene cooling. This warming may correspond to the so-called ''Middle Eocene Climatic Optimum'' previously documented in the Southern Ocean. The composite and Demerara Rise records for d 13 C differ substantially. By removing the intersite and intertaxa sources of uncertainty in d 13 C, we obtain a clearer picture of carbon cycling during the Eocene. Secular change in interocean d 13 C gradients through the Eocene reveals that intervals of climatic warmth (especially the early Eocene) are associated with very small water mass ageing gradients.

متن کاملThe Caenorhabditis elegans Iodotyrosine Deiodinase Ortholog SUP-18 Functions through a Conserved Channel SC-Box to Regulate the Muscle Two-Pore Domain Potassium Channel SUP-9
Loss-of-function mutations in the Caenorhabditis elegans gene sup-18 suppress the defects in muscle contraction conferred by a gain-of-function mutation in SUP-10, a presumptive regulatory subunit of the SUP-9 two-pore domain K(+) channel associated with muscle membranes. We cloned sup-18 and found that it encodes the C. elegans ortholog of mammalian iodotyrosine deiodinase (IYD), an NADH oxida...
متن کاملA visible allele of the muscle gene sup-10X of C. elegans.
In this paper, we extend our previous analyses of a set of genes in Caenorhabditis elegans that are involved in muscle structure and function: unc-93 III, sup-9 II, sup-10 X and sup-11 I. We describe an unusual, visible allele of sup-10, examine how this allele interacts genetically with mutations in other genes of this set and propose that the wild-type products of the unc-93 and sup-10 loci m...

The reaction dynamics of the boron monoxide radical (BO; XΣ) with diacetylene (C4H2; XΣg) were investigated at a nominal collision energy of 17.5 kJ mol−1 employing the crossed molecular beam technique and supported by ab initio and statistical (RRKM) calculations. The reaction is governed by indirect (complex forming) scattering dynamics with the boron monoxide radical adding with its boron at...
