Optimizing electron backscatter diffraction of carbonate biominerals—resin type and carbon coating
No full textElectron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) is becoming a widely used technique to determine crystallographic orientation in biogenic carbonates. Despite this use, there is little information available on preparation for the analysis of biogenic carbonates. EBSD data are compared for biogenic aragonite and calcite in the common blue mussel, <i>Mytilus edulis</i>, using different types of resin and thicknesses of carbon coating. Results indicate that carbonate biomineral samples provide better EBSD results if they are embedded in resin, particularly epoxy resin. A uniform layer of carbon of 2.5 nm thickness provides sufficient conductivity for EBSD analyses of such insulators to avoid charging without masking the diffracted signal. Diffraction intensity decreases with carbon coating thickness of 5 nm or more. This study demonstrates the importance of optimizing sample preparation for EBSD analyses of insulators such as carbonate biominerals

The future of Australian secularism
No full textOnly 9 per cent of Australians attend church. Yet Prime Minister John Howard explicitly identifies Australian values with Christian values. So what explains the disjunction between Australia\u27s secular culture and the curiously successful adoption of American-style religious rhetoric by Howard and his ministers, asks Carole M. Cusack
Effects of ocean acidification on growth, organic tissue and protein profile of the Mediterranean bryozoan Myriapora truncata
No full textThe possible effects of ocean acidification on growth, organic tissue and protein profile in the bryozoan Myriapora truncata (Pallas, 1766) were studied in samples transplanted along a gradient of different pH conditions in an area of natural volcanic CO2 vents at Ischia Island (Tyrrhenian Sea, Italy). Living colonies from normal (mean pH 8.10), intermediate (pH 7.83) and low (pH 7.32) pH sites were investigated after intervals of 34, 57 and 87 d of exposure. M. truncata formed new and complete zooids at the normal site, whereas at the intermediate and low pH sites, neither partial nor complete zooids were produced. After 34 d at intermediate and low pH conditions, the organic cuticle which envelops the skeleton increased in thickness when compared to normal colonies, suggesting a protective role against dissolution of the high-Mg calcite skeleton. Significant changes in the protein profile and expression displayed by samples from intermediate and low pH conditions suggest that M. truncata makes an initial attempt to overcome the decrease in pH by up-regulating protein production but eventually, especially in the lowest pH condition, exhausts biochemical energy to maintain this rate of protein production, leading to eventual death

Putting the environment at the heart of prosperity & social inclusion: The Stirling Protocol
No full textScotland’s Programme for Government 2019-20, Protecting Scotland’s Future, sets out an ambitious target to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045. Meeting this objective will require policymakers, businesses and other organisations to reconsider how they operate, and make the transition to alternative, sustainable ways of working. All too often, it can seem as if there is a conflict between the need to address climate change and demands for economic growth. Where solutions are put in place, they can often exclude certain sections of the population, or can be impractical or burdensome for smaller organisations to adopt. This complexity often leads to paralysis, leaving headline pledges to decarbonise unfulfilled. This briefing paper overviews the Stirling Protocol, a simple framework which enables organisations to balance the demands of economic growth, environmental sustainability, and social inclusion. As Scotland emerges from the economic shock of the global coronavirus pandemic, the Protocol will be relevant to all those with an interest in placing sustainable, inclusive prosperity at the heart of Scotland’s economic recovery.Scotland-specific policy Briefing based on: Cusack et al.
