[1] We explore the applicability of paired Mg/Ca and O/O measurements on benthic foraminifera from Southern Ocean site 747 to paleoceanographic reconstructions on pre-Pleistocene timescales. We focus on the late Oligocene through Pleistocene (27–0 Ma) history of paleotemperatures and the evolution of the dO values of seawater (dOsw) at a temporal resolution of 100–200 kyr. Absolute paleotempera...

The prospects of utilizing pretreated seawater for the culture of Arthrospira (Spirulina) platensis was evaluated under laboratory conditions with three seawater media and a control: (1) Zarrouk media (freshwater-control) (2) seawater media SW 1 (3) seawater media SW2 and (4) seawater media SW 3. The relative performance of these media were investigated with respect to their biomass production,...

This paper presents a simple method to measure people’s perceptions of the coolness of other people in localized social networks. Folk concepts of cool suggest that cool is real and yet elusive. Approaches to measuring cool that are indebted to traditional personality theory are shown to be insufficient because cool is a constantly changing construct. Instead, the tension between the real and e...

We present a new model for the creation of cool cores in rich galaxy clusters within a ΛCDM cosmological framework using the results from high spatial dynamic range, adaptive mesh hydro/N-body simulations. It is proposed that cores of cool gas first form in subclusters and these subclusters merge to create rich clusters with cool, central X-Ray excesses. The rich cool clusters do not possess “c...

The presentation will be a personnel view of the practical opportunities and intellectual challenges for technological plasmas in emerging and future technologies and in addressing the important issues of energy and the environment. 1. Introduction This presentation will be a personnel view of the role technological plasmas will play in emerging and future technologies and in addressing some of...

A study was made of recruit medical discharges in the British Army in 1988 with the aim of ascertaining the number of medical discharges amongst recruits. AFBs 6863 (Notification of Discharge of a Regular Recruit) were used as the source of data. Recruit medical wastage rate for 1988 was 897 cases, or 16.7% of all known discharges. Three types of medical discharges were present. Four hundred an...

Bacteriol. 87:483-499. 1964.-Escherichia coli did not grow at 37 C, or grew only after a prolonged lag phase in filter-sterilized basal seawater medium (synthetic or natural seawater supplemented with glucose, NH(4)Cl, and K(2)HP...
