A multi-decadal delay in the onset of corrosive ‘acidified’ waters in the Ross Sea of Antarctica due to strong air-sea CO<sub>2</sub>disequilibrium
No full textInternational audienceAntarctic coastal waters have an abundance of marine organisms that secrete the mineral aragonite for growth and survival. Increasing oceanic anthropogenic CO 2 uptake will push these waters to a point whereby aragonite will start to geochemically corrode, with direct consequences for the Antarctic ecosystem. Here we combine surface CO 2 data in the Ross Sea, Antarctica with a regional ocean/sea-ice model to better pinpoint the timing of corrosive conditions. Our analysis suggests sea-ice cover and deep-water entrainment during winter results in 65% lower storage of anthropogenic CO 2 in comparison to atmospheric CO 2 equilibrium. This means that instead of corrosive 'acidified' waters beginning as early as the winter of 2015, anthropogenic CO 2 disequilibrium delays its onset by up to 30 years, giving this Antarctic marine ecosystem a several decade reprieve to corrosive conditions. Our results demonstrate a broader importance of understanding natural oceanic carbon cycle variability for the onset of corrosive conditions. Citation: McNeil, B. I., A. Tagliabue, and C.

Review of \u3ci\u3eMangas Coloradas: Chief of the Chiricahua Apaches\u3c/i\u3e By Edwin R. Sweeney
No full textInch by inch Sweeney drags readers through the military life and times of one of the Chiricahua Apaches\u27 most noted leaders Mangas Coloradas. With certain exceptions noted below, the author describes what quite possibly was every major event in this famous chief\u27s life from cradle to grave. Here briefly are stories of his youth, the Native customs applied to children, the activities and the lessons all Chiricahua children learn in growing up. Here too are descriptions of later battles led by Mangas Coloradas and fought in two countries, the attempts to make peace, the successes and failures of those arrangements, and the frustrations on all sides.
Sweeney\u27s research has uncovered names, names, names, producing a virtual who\u27s who among the Chiricahua Apaches and the Spanish and American military on the frontier of the 1800s. Speaking of names, Sweeney concludes that an Apache named El Fuerte by the Spanish later became Mangas Coloradas. Although he won\u27t be seriously challenged on this designation, there was more than one El Fuerte on the Spanish frontier, as indicated by information indexed at the Arizona State Museum. In particular, Spanish military officers in the Sonora of the 1700s recorded one Apache warrior\u27s name as El Calvo Fuerte. Was this also the same man as Mangas Coloradas? It\u27s a curious point that doesn\u27t really matter here, for this is a book of battles, not names, and the actions all swirl around Mangas Coloradas. Rightly so, for without question this biography spotlights one individual only; everyone else occupies a supporting role.
Sweeney\u27s richly detailed description of the military aspects of this Chiricahua Apache chief\u27s life conveys the impression that few Indians were comparable, either in authority or personal power. He did the same in his previous book about Cochise who, not incidentally, was Mangas Coloradas\u27s son-in-law. Perhaps one day Sweeney will produce a third work comparing the two so that readers might learn the author\u27s preference, if he has one. As it stands, it is difficult to find the author anywhere in the thousands of -words he has written in this particular volume. The distance between Sweeney and his subject is palpable, often painful, particularly in his frequent use of the adjective bellicose to describe the Chiricahuas. Yes, they were that, but they were much more, and Sweeney resists feeling or sensing the complete picture of Mangas Coloradas\u27s Apaches and then portraying them fully through his diction. After all, besides being bellicose, the chief and his people were also husbands, fathers, sons, brothers, uncles, aunts, sisters, daughters, mothers, and wives who led lives that included more than the battles Sweeney relates. For example, while Mangas Coloradas was a chief and a respected strategist, he was also the husband and father who, as a tired warrior, had to come back from battle to his family. Who were they and what was that aspect of his life like? Sweeney doesn\u27t elaborate. Had he interviewed Mangas Coloradas\u27s contemporary descendants, they might have added another dimension to this work and possibly helped him present a picture of the total man, not just the renowned fighter. Sadly, the author devotes only a short paragraph of nine lines at the very end of his book to the chief\u27s heirs without mentioning their names. That\u27s too bad, for some of them are today\u27s Chiricahua Apache leaders and others are accomplished in various walks of life. They deserve recognition.
Nonetheless, although this exhaustively thorough book is clearly not written for casual and general readers, it should interest a select audience of history buffs, aficionados, and serious scholars of Chiricahua Apache history and culture. A true test will be its appeal to the Chiricahua Apaches themselves

Brian Friel's Molly Sweeney and its Sources : a Postmodern Case History
No full textBrian Friel's Molly Sweeney (1994) has a theme similar to Synge's The Well of the Saints (1905), a modernist text, but it has a plot based on a case study by anthropologist Oliver Sacks, « To See and Not See ». While exploring the ethics of appropriation in the light of Foucault's « What is an Author ? », this paper establishes Friel's fascination with questions of freedom, perception and irony and defines the form of Molly Sxueeney as postmodernist rather than modernist.On peut comparer Molly Sweeney (1994) de Brian Friel à The Well of the Saints (1905) de J.M. Synge, un texte moderniste, mais il a pour source première une étude de cas contemporaine de l'anthropologue Oliver Sacks « To See and Not See ». Tout en étudiant l'éthique d'appropriation à la lumière de Foucault, cet article analyse la fascination qu'exercent sur Friel les questions de liberté, de perception et d'ironie, et il montre que la forme est postmoderniste plutôt que moderniste.Murray Christopher.

Effect of pretreatment with an adenosine analogue, N(6)-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), on stroke outcome in rats
No full textAdenosine A1 receptor agonists, such as N6-cyclohexyladenosine (CHA), N6-(R)-phenylisopropyladenosine (R-PIA), and N 6-cyclopentyladenosine (CPA), are neuroprotective when administered prior to a hypoxia-ischemia (H-I). Activation of A1 receptors may also mediate ischemic preconditioning. It was hypothesized, therefore, that a single administration of CPA prior to a H-I insult would provide neuroprotection against H-I induced damage in the rat hippocampus. This thesis examined the neuroprotective response to CPA when it was administered at varying doses and varying time points prior to a H-I insult. Results confirm the neuroprotective effect resulting from activation of adenosine A1 receptors before a H-I insult, against H-I induced damage and suggest a possible therapeutic application for adenosine Al agonists for the prevention of stroke damage.
