Palaeoclimate records from OIS 8.0-5.4 recorded in loess-palaeosol sequences on the Matmata Plateau, southern Tunisia, based on mineral magnetism and new luminescence dating
No full textMineral magnetic studies of loess–palaeosol sequences on the Matmata Plateau, southern Tunisia, coupled with a new chronology based on luminescence dating, confirm the presence of at least four phases of pedogenesis during the period 100–250 ka. Inter-site correlations between the reddened fersiallitic palaeosols confirms that, despite modern gullying processes, the records are regional and repeatable. The palaeosol magnetic signal is controlled by the formation of secondary ferrimagnetic minerals, which may be easily detected by magnetic susceptibility and frequency-dependent susceptibility measurements. Comparison of the magnetic record with global proxy climate records shows a correlation with loess–palaeosol sequences in China and the marine oxygen isotope (OI) record during stages 8.0–5.4. Preliminary attempts to infer palaeoprecipitation levels from modern analogues of soil magnetism-climate associations suggests that during the periods 100–120 ka and ~ 200 ka precipitation was >400 mm a?1, compared with modern precipitation <150 mm a?1

2000 Commencement Address: G. Timothy Johnson, M.D.
No full textTimothy Johnson, M.D., medical editor for ABC News will deliver the principal address and receive an honorary degree at the 154th commencement exercises at the College of the Holy Cross on Friday, May 26, beginning at 10:30 a.m. at Fitton Field.
Johnson, one of the nation’s leading medical communicators of health care information, has provided commentary on medical problems and answers for viewers since 1975. In addition to commentary on Good Morning America, Johnson provides on-air analysis of medical news for World News Tonight, Nightline and 20/20. He consults with ABC News regardingcoverage of medical news. He is also medical editor for WCVB-TV, Channel 5 in Boston.
Johnson holds joint positions in medicine at Harvard University and Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston. He is the founding editor of the Harvard Medical School Health Letter and co-editor of the Harvard Medical School Health Letter Book. He is also coeditor of the book, “Your Good Health,” published by Harvard Press, as well as co-author with former US Surgeon General Dr. C. Everett Koop of the book, “Let’s Talk,” published by Zondervan in 1992.
He originally intended to join the ministry and graduated from the North Park Seminary in 1963. Two years later he decided to enter medicine. Johnson, who is a Phi Beta Kappa graduate of Augustana College, graduated summa cum laude from Albany Medical College and holds a master’s degree in public health from Harvard University. Johnson served as an assisting minister at the Community Covenant Church in West Peabody, Mass.https://crossworks.holycross.edu/commence_address/1012/thumbnail.jp
Robust energy transfer mechanism via precession resonance in nonlinear turbulent wave systems
No full textA robust energy transfer mechanism is found in nonlinear wave systems, which favours transfers towards modes interacting via triads with nonzero frequency mismatch, applicable in meteorology, nonlinear optics and plasma wave turbulence. We emphasise the concepts of truly dynamical degrees of freedom and triad precession. Transfer efficiency is maximal when the triads' precession frequencies resonate with the system's nonlinear frequencies, leading to a collective state of synchronised triads with strong turbulent cascades at intermediate nonlinearity. Numerical simulations confirm analytical predictions
SOME SOCIAL AND POLITICAL VIEWS M.D. SKOBELEVS
No full textThe article analyzes social and political views of M.D. Skobelev, an outstanding military commander, a hero of the Russian-Turkish and Balkan wars¸ who contributed greatly to the entry of Central Asia (Turkestan) and other regions into the Russian Empire. The author concludes that M.D. Skobelev’s views were close to those of the Slavophiles, though they differed greatly on a number of key issues. They both considered that it was necessary to restore national identity, to consolidate Orthodoxy, to give up European values to the detriment of national ones, to search for the own development way instead of the western one, which was deadlock and destructive
