    Distinct peaks of UV-absorbing compounds in CDOM and particulate absorption spectra, of near-surface Great Barrier Reef coastal waters, associated with the presence of Trichodesmium spp. (NE Australia)

    During a field study in The Fitzroy River/Estuary and Keppel Bay region of the Great Barrier Reef in September 2003, samples collected for CDOM and particulate absorption were found to have peaks in the UV region of the absorption spectra. These peaks are assumed to be due to the presence of Mycosporine Amino Acids (MAAs) and are not often observed, especially in the dissolved or CDOM fraction. The data provided shows the effect the UV-absorbing compounds (MAAs) have on the absorption recorded in the visible region. This in turn ultimately affects the accuracy of satellite remote sensing imagery to accurately depict the presence of phytoplankton blooms. \nLineage: A field survey was carried out in the Fitzroy River Estuary – Keppel Bay region within the Great Barrier Reef (GBR) Lagoon in NE Australia between 05 – 12 September 2003. Around 60 sites were sampled to determine various optical and biogeochemical parameters, but this data set is only from sites within Keppel Bay and does not include sites sampled within the Fitzroy River or near the river mouth. \nDiscrete water samples were collected, at several sites, from the surface waters using a 10 L plastic carboy held approximately 10 -20 cm under the surface (nominally referred to as “surface” samples). From this bulk water sample, subsamples were taken for the determination of total suspended matter (TSM) concentration, HPLC pigment concentration and composition, and the absorption coefficient of the particulate and dissolved fractions. At two sites (38 and 48), Trichodesmium cells/colonies were visible in the surface waters. In an attempt to capture these cells/colonies, an additional sample was collected by holding a 2 L plastic bottle within the top 2 - 3 cm of the surface layer, such that the mouth of the bottle was not fully submerged (nominally referred to as “near-surface” samples) and subsamples were taken for all discrete measurements.\n\nIn situ continuous measurements of total absorption and spectral attenuation were collected along a horizontal transect using an ac-9 (WETLabs, 9 wavelengths, 25 cm path length). The water intake for the ac-9 was about 1 meter below the water’s surface and the water was pumped, using low pressure, through a stainless steel filter mesh (pore size 350 um) and a debubbling system into the ac-9 chamber at a flow rate of 6 litres per minute. Samples were collected from the outflow of the ac-9 only at site 9. \nPigment analysis - sample water was filtered through a 47 mm glass-fibre filter (Whatman GF/F) using low vacuum and then stored in liquid nitrogen until analysis. Pigment extracts were analysed using a published method with a HPLC (Waters) and photo-diode array detection. The separated pigments were detected at 436 nm and identified against standard spectra using Waters Millenium software. Concentrations of chl-a, chl-b, and B,B-carotene were determined from standards (Sigma) and all other pigment concentrations were determined from standards of purified pigments isolated from algal cultures. \nParticulate and detrital absorption - sample water was filtered through a 25 mm glass-fibre filter (Whatman GF/F) and then stored flat in liquid nitrogen until analysis. Optical density (OD) spectra for total particulate and detrital matter were obtained using a GBC 916 UV/VIS dual beam spectro-photometer equipped with integrating sphere. The OD spectrum of the phytoplankton pigment was obtained as the difference between the OD of the total particulate and detrital components. The optical density scans were converted to absorption spectra by first nor-malising the scans to zero at 830 nm and then correcting for the path length amplification. \nCDOM absorption -samples were generally analysed within 24 – 48 hours after collection. At the laboratory, the pre-filtered samples were stored under subdued light until they reached room temperature (3 – 4 hours) and then filtered through a 0.2 um Durapore filter (25 mm, Millipore) immediately prior to analysis. The CDOM absorbance was measured in a 10 cm path length quartz cell, from 200–900 nm, using the normal cell compartment of the GBC 916 UV/VIS spectrophotometer, with Milli-Q water as a reference. \

    The absorption spectra together with the phycocyanin and phycoerythrin concentrations were measured on ten cyanobacterial cultures obtained from the Australian National Algae Culture Collection (ANACC) based at CSIRO, Hobart, Tasmania, Australia.\nLineage: All cultures except CS-601, were maintained at 20°C on a 12/12 hour light/dark cycle. CS-601 was maintained at 6°C on 24 hour low light.\nAbsorption spectra for each culture were recorded from culture suspensions in 1 cm cuvettes positioned against an integrating sphere in a Cintra 404 UV/VIS dual beam spectrophotometer. The reference solution for each culture was the media solution used for that culture. \nFor phycocyanin and phycoerythrin concentrations; approximately 3 ml of each culture was filtered through a 25 mm glass fibre filter (Whatman GF/F) and the filter folded in half and stored in a cryovial in liquid nitrogen until analysis. Each culture filter was ground in a glass mortar and pestle with 5 ml of 0.1 M phosphate buffer (pH 6.5). The extract was transferred to a 10 ml centrifuge tube, vortexed for 20 seconds, sonicated in an ice water bath for 20 minutes before storing at 4°C in the for 3 hours. The culture extracts were then centrifuged for 5 minutes at 2500rpm (-2°C). The volume of the final extract was recorded before analysis using a Perkin Elmer LS50B Luminescence Spectrometer. Phycocyanin and phycoerythrin standards were prepared in the same way (storage at 4°C in the dark for 3 hours) on the day of analysis. The excitation and emission wavelengths for phycocyanin, and phycoerythrin, were 620/640 and 543/562 nm resepectively. Note that this method does not provide 100% extraction of PC and PE for all cultures. However the purpose of providing this data is to show which species/cultures contained PC, PE or both, rather than an accurate concentration.\

    Geografía del corazón: Lugares emblemáticos en la poesía de Carlos Clementson

    This book was born out of a friendship that has lasted for over fifty years, and it is dedicated to that same friendship, which continues to await good news from a distance. In it, the author and the book\u27s intended recipient, Carlos Clementson Cerezo, share an age that enables them to view life through the lens of waiting, and to appreciate the beauty of memory, nostalgia and absence. Although this volume could have been written earlier, perhaps it was only now that the author was able to interweave friendship, emotion and literary doctrine with such maturity. The work has been reworked several times until everything fell into place, as if it were a skilfully woven message in the recovery of time. During this process, the author discovered the ideal space in which to write it, combining modern theory and criticism under the guidance of a reasoned tradition. Thus, using materials provided by the friend and professor, spaces are created — some idealised — where the heart can express itself freely and pay homage to the great poet lorquino-cordobés, whose expansive, Mediterranean words transport the listener to a primitive state characterised by austere melancholy and Córdoba philosophy. This book vindicates humanism in postmodernity — a constant search for the murmurs born in childhood, alongside the marine myth of Calabardina, and in the sonorous kingdom of the orchard of La Rueda. The sea, land and sky of the poet\u27s childhood are evoked here through the mature resignation of age as he reads the kind words written about him with emotion.Este libro nace de una amistad que se prolonga por más de cincuenta años y se dirige a esa misma amistad que, desde la distancia, sigue aguardando buenas noticias. En él, tanto su autor como su primer destinatario, Carlos Clementson Cerezo, comparten una edad que permite contemplar la vida desde la espera, en la belleza del recuerdo, la nostalgia y la ausencia. Aunque este volumen pudo haberse escrito antes, acaso no fue sino hasta ahora cuando su autor logró entrelazar con madurez amistad, emoción y doctrina literaria. Se trata de una obra reelaborada en distintas ocasiones, hasta que todo encajó, como si se tratase de un mensaje hábilmente hilvanado en la recuperación del tiempo. En este proceso, el autor halló el espacio propicio, casi mágico, para su composición, combinando teoría y crítica modernas bajo la guía de una tradición razonada. Así, con los materiales que brinda el amigo profesor, se construyen espacios —algunos de ellos idealizados— donde el corazón puede manifestarse libremente y rendir homenaje al gran poeta lorquino-cordobés, cuya palabra amplia y mediterránea conduce a quien la escucha a un estado primigenio habitado por la melancolía austera y la filosofía cordobesa. Este libro reivindica el humanismo en la posmodernidad, una búsqueda constante de los murmullos nacidos en la infancia junto al mito marino de Calabardina y en el reino sonoro del huerto de la Rueda. Mar, tierra y cielo de la niñez del poeta se evocan aquí desde la resignación madura de la edad, mientras lee, emocionado, las palabras amigas que sobre él se escriben
