Verrucella rubra Thomson & Henderson 1905
No full textVerrucella rubra Thomson & Henderson, 1905 Verrucella rubra Thomson & Henderson, 1905: 315–315, pl. 4, fig. 13; pl. 5, fig. 8 (Gulf of Mannar). Opinion: This species does occur in the region, but its true identity is unknown. Justification: These Indian records seem to be either invalid or unconfirmable: Thomas & George 1986: 110, fig. 1t, 1–3 (SW coast; Gulf of Mannar). Literature analysis: This species was established for a badly damaged specimen from the Sri Lankan side of the Gulf of Mannar, but it is unrecognisable from the original poor description and has never been redescribed. Nevertheless, Kükenthal (1924) synonymised the species under Gorgonella umbraculum (Ellis & Solander, 1786), which was also unrecognisable at the time: a neotype for that species was designated by Bayer & Grasshoff (1994). Without knowing the characters of the species, Thomas & George (1986) assigned material to it under the old genus Gorgonella, but that cannot be validated until the original material is redescribed. Verrucella rubra is not currently in the WoRMS database. Thomas & George (1987) just listed the species.Published as part of Ramvilas, Ghosh, Alderslade, Philip & Ranjeet, Kutty, 2023, The taxonomy of Indian gorgonians: an assessment of the descriptive records of gorgonians (Anthozoa: Octocorallia: Alcyonacea) recorded as occurring in the territorial waters of India, along with neighbouring regions and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, and the highlighting of perceived unethical practice, pp. 1-124 in Zootaxa 5236 (1) on page 104, DOI: 10.11646/zootaxa.5236.1.1, http://zenodo.org/record/763932
Inclined transpression at the toe of an arcuate thrust: an example from the Precambrian ‘Mylonite Zone’ of the Sveconorwegian orogen
No full textThe ‘Mylonite Zone’ (MZ) forms a major, arcuate terrane boundary in the Precambrian
Sveconorwegian orogen of SW Scandinavia. SE-directed thrusting along this curvilinear shear
zone emplaced the higher-grade Idefjorden Terrane to the west onto the lower-grade Eastern
Segment terrane to the east. Detailed structural characterization of the MZ mylonites in two different
localities (Va ̈rmlandsna ̈s and Bua peninsulas) reveals a complex three-dimensional strain
pattern. Inclined transpression is inferred on the basis of coexisting (and broadly coeval) foliation-
parallel oblique shearing (resolvable in a strike-slip and dip-slip component) and acrossfoliation
shortening. The former accommodated the transpressive component of the MZ, and its
kinematics is either sinistral or dextral depending on the local strike of the MZ with respect to
the regional thrust shortening vector. The latter led to pure-shear shortening perpendicular to the
thrust sheet and subsequent lateral extrusion parallel to the mylonitic foliation via the development
of antithetic displacements. No significant strain partitioning is observed at the meso-scale and
strain is thus truly triclinic. The example described is an outstanding case of triclinic deformation,
confirms theoretical analyses of complex strain models and adds valuable natural field constraints
to our knowledge of deformation in the crust
Dependence of unsaturated chloride diffusion on the pore structure in cementitious materials
No full textConceptual analysis is performed to examine the effects of pore features on the water continuity in unsaturated porous systems. The roles of pore features in relative chloride diffusion coefficient (Drc) of mortar specimens at various degrees of water saturation (Sw) were studied based on mercury intrusion porosimetry and resistivity tests. It is found that the role of pore structure in the Drc-Sw relationship is a result of its effect on the water continuity. Porosity and tortuosity are not relevant to the Drc-Sw relationship. A finer pore size distribution or lower pore connectivity tends to result in a lower Drc. The pore size effect on the Drc is pronounced primarily at high Sw, while the Drc is dominated by the pore connectivity at low Sw. Cement mortar with a higher water-to-binder ratio shows larger chloride diffusion at high relative humidity levels but smaller chloride diffusion at low relative humidity levels.Accepted Author ManuscriptMaterials and Environmen
Total Cost of Ownership for Application Replatform by Open-source SW
No full textAbstractIn intra-company IT environment, the use of open-source software (OSS) should be expanded to reduce IT costs and to establish SW governance. This requires the migration of systems from the existing commercial SW to open-source SW, but the attempt of application replatform is prevented by the expenses for application reprogramming and data migration. This study proposes a methodology for TCO calculation of application replatform using open-source SW. In practice, a five-year TCO shows a cost reduction effect of 78% - 83%. This TCO could be further reduced if the application size is increased due to data accumulation and the company gets open-source SW capabilities internally. In addition, it is possible to directly apply an application developed from open-source SW to a virtualized infrastructure environment, which enables to operate in a hybrid cloud environment. This enables a scalable, efficient and flexible IT operation and a sustainable TCO reduction in the futur
Community and trophic responses of benthic Foraminifera to oxygen gradients and organic enrichment
No full textGlobal warming and eutrophication are driving an expansion of hypoxia in the World Ocean. This will favour organisms, such as Foraminifera (testate protists), that tolerate low-oxygen conditions and may lead to an overall decline in marine biodiversity. With this in mind, community and trophic responses of benthic Foraminifera were investigated at two contrasting sites in the upper boundary (140 m water depth; bottom-water oxygen concentrations = 2.05 mll-1 during the spring intermonsoon and 0.11 mll-1 during the SW monsoon) and the core (300 m water depth; bottom-water oxygen concentration consistently ~ 0.11 mll-1) of an intense, natural, mid-water oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) on the Pakistan Margin, NE Arabian Sea. Live macrofaunal (>300 µm fraction) Foraminifera (including softwalled species) and metazoans were examined at each site during the 2003 spring intermonsoon (April) and SW monsoon (October) seasons (4 replicate multicores/site/season, 25.5cm2 surface area, 0-5 cm depth). Wet-sorting revealed a low diversity assemblage dominated (> 60 %) by calcareous Foraminifera at both sites. A total of 36 species was recognised and diversity was not greatly affected by water depth or season. At both sites, >86 % of Foraminifera were restricted to the upper 0-1 cm layer of sediment and the Average Living Depth (ALD) decreased from the spring intermonsoon to the SW monsoon (140 m, ALD5 = 0.41 to 0.33; 300 m, ALD5 = 0.65 to 0.44). Foraminifera increased in mean abundance from 124 to 153 individuals per 10 cm2 from the spring intermonsoon to the SW monsoon at 140 m and from 86 to 122 individuals per 10 cm2 at 300 m. The calcareous species Uvigerina ex. gr. semiornata dominated communities and increased in mean abundance from 54 to 118 individuals (140 m) and from 41 to 69 individuals (300 m) per 10 cm2 following the SW monsoon. At 140 m, Foraminifera were 3.6 times more abundant than metazoans during the spring intermonsoon, rising to 13.9 times during the SW monsoon. The corresponding proportions at 300 m, where metazoans were rare, were 12.4 and 14.5. Fatty acid biomarkers suggest that foraminiferal diets vary between species. The calcareous species U. ex. gr. semiornata, Bolivina aff. dilatata and Globobulimina cf. G. pyrula selectively ingested phytodetrital material, whereas the agglutinated species, Ammodiscus aff. cretaceus, Bathysiphon sp. nov. 1, and Reophax dentaliniformis favoured bacteria. Moreover, U. ex. gr. semiornata, rapidly ingested (within two days) 13C-labelled diatoms in shipboard laboratory and in situ pulse-chase experiments at the 140-m site following the SW monsoon. This enabled the uptake and processing of organic matter (OM) to be tracked in the foraminiferal cell into individual fatty acids, using Gas Chromatography - Mass Spectrometry (selective ion scan). These results suggest that calcareous Foraminifera, in particular U. ex. gr. semiornata, play a central role in OM cycling on the sea-floor in the upper part of the Pakistan margin OMZ
