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
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Philip Larkin, Jill
No full textPresentazione del romanzo Jill del poeta Philip Larkin pubblicato nel 1946. Nella forma di un "racconto privo di ambizioni", Jill narra le vicende, problematiche e commoventi, di un giovane e timido studente, John Kemp, di modeste origini provinciali e il suo difficile impatto con il tempio della cultura. Invece di integrarsi nel nuovo ambiente, John Kemp perderà le vecchie radici senza trovarne delle nuove, vivendo un'esperienza di totale spaesamento che si trasforma poi in apatica indifferenza verso tutto e tutti

Poesie di Larkin
No full textL'articolo presenta l'itinerario poetico di Philip Larkin, dai primi componimenti, in cui si avvertono l'influenza di Auden, la precipua musicalità del verso yeatsiano, le riflessioni dolenti e pessimistiche di Hardy, alle poesie successive in cui spiccano quelle di Ti ingannasti di meno (1955) che lo imposero all'attenzione del pubblico, fino all'ultima raccolta, Finestre alte (1974)
Philip Larkin. Immaginazione poetica e percorsi del quotidiano
No full textQuesto studio presenta l’opera di Philip Larkin (1922-1985), una delle voci più significative della poesia anglossassone degli ultimi cinquant’anni. Coinvolto ai suoi esordi nelle istanze letterarie dei giovani intellettuali del cosiddetto Movement, Larkin coniuga la polemica anti-modernista e anti-neoromantica con la ricerca di una più radicata collocazione della poesia nel quadro culturale socio-epistemico del secondo dopoguerra. Di qui l’esplorazione larkinana dei complessi e contraddittori scenari del mondo contemporaneo, sempre osservato nella sua “quotidianità”, descritto con il linguaggio diretto e accessibile dell’uomo “ordinario”. Il libro si propone di indagare, in una prospettiva testualmente dinamica, i procedimenti creativi, le modalità poetiche, i percorsi ermeneutici messi in atto da Larkin, attraverso l’analisi di alcuni componimenti ritenuti significativi per delineare il ritratto di un artista totalmente dedito alla sua musa, attento a cogliere tutte le sfumature ontologiche e le ambiguità comportamentali della provincia inglese nella seconda metà del Novecento
