Perspectives on Gerhard: Selected Proceedings of the 2nd and 3rd International Roberto Gerhard Conferences
No full textPerspectives on Gerhard expands several papers given at the 2nd and 3rd International Roberto Gerhard Conferences in 2012 and 2013. The book focuses on two aspects of Gerhard. Firstly, the pre-1939 period in which he was a student of Schoenberg and then, on returning to Catalonia, began to establish a reputation as a composer. Secondly, and more generally on the composer's stylistic and aesthetic evolution. This latter focus includes both Gerhard's approach to serialism both harmonically and melodically as well as the pivotal role the USA was to play in his later life. The book concludes with two personal reminiscences given at the conferences by Ferran Gerhard and Mariona Agustí Badia

Seed value chains for Sorghum and Millet in Mali: A state-based system in transition
No full text"This paper reviews the structure and performance of the sorghum and millet seed sector in Mali. The Sahel is the origin of pearl millet and sorghum, seed selection and management of these crops is embedded in local cultures, and most producers of these crops are subsistence oriented. Despite seed sector reform, no certified seed of these crops is sold in local markets and farmers prefer to rely on themselves or each other for seed. The dominant source of certified seed is the national seed service. Certified seed is multiplied by contracted farmers and seed producer groups, and supplied to farmers through farmers' associations, development organizations, and extension services. The informal sector supplies farmers with non-certified seed directly and indirectly through village grain markets. There is no consensus about whether it is lack of effective demand or supply that constrains farmer use of certified sorghum and millet seed, but researchers generally conclude that the process of certifying seed is too lengthy, some mechanism must be established for production and trade of locally-adapted landraces, and Mali's highly structured farmers' associations could play an even stronger role in testing and promoting demand for certified seed. Recommendations have included the use of small packs and seed auctions where market infrastructure is sparse, and in more commercialized areas, involvement of agro-input dealers, shopkeepers and traders. Still, estimated adoption rates for improved millet (under 10 percent of crop area) and sorghum seed (under 20 percent of crop area) could be as high as can be expected in this challenging natural environment and institutional context." from Author's AbstractSeeds, Formal sector, Informal sector, Millet, Sorghum, Seed markets, Biodiversity,

Comparing machine learning isoscapes of 87Sr/86Sr ratios of plants on the island of Sardinia: Implications for the use of isoscapes for assessing the provenance of biological specimens
No full textStrontium isotope analysis is widely used to evaluate the provenance and mobility of biological specimens. Frequently applied in archaeology, palaeontology, ecology, forensics, and food science, strontium isotope analysis compares the 87Sr/86Sr ratio of a specimen against a strontium isoscape – a representation of expected 87Sr/86Sr ratios across a landscape – to identify areas that are more and/or less likely to be the source of the specimen. Strontium isoscapes are built using different methods, but all approaches start with empirical 87Sr/86Sr ratios sampled from areas with known coordinates and use them to assign likely 87Sr/86Sr ratios to unknown areas. Following the publication of Bataille et al., 2018 and Bataille et al., 2020, machine learning using a random forest algorithm has become a common method of producing strontium isoscapes. Despite the recognition that this method requires training with local ratios, especially in geologically complex regions, very little work has evaluated machine learning isoscapes' accuracy. This study compares and evaluates two previously published machine learning isoscapes of Sardinia against new empirical data provided by the project ZANBA. The ZANBA data is then used to create a third machine learning map of Sardinia, which is tested against previously published empirical data. The three isoscapes show different levels of predictive accuracy, with more primary data points leading to more correct predictions. However, a densely sampled landscape did not create an isoscape that gave substantially more accurate predictions than a moderately densely sampled landscape when tested against primary data from outside the original sampling areas. Areas of an isoscape with low root mean squared error (RMSE), which is often interpreted as indicating accuracy, did not necessarily give more correct predictions. Finally, a machine learning isoscape of Sardinia that incorporates both new and previously published empirical data is presented

Trace Metal Variations through the Tartan and Waipawa Formations: Implications for the Environment of Deposition
No full textAn inorganic geochemical study of the Late Paleocene organic matter-rich Waipawa and Tartan formations was undertaken in order to investigate the depositional environment. The formation varies in thickness between 2 and 50 metres and is distributed across many of New Zealand’s Cenozoic basins, where it forms an important
potential hydrocarbon source rock. This study measured major and trace elements which can be loosely grouped into redox sensitive, biologically influenced, terrestrially sourced, and rare earth elements (REE). The study focused on three sections through the Waipawa and Tartan formations: Angora Quarry in the East Coast Basin, and the Great
South Basin hydrocarbon exploration wells Kawau-1A and Pakaha-1.
At Angora Quarry, x-ray fluorescence (XRF) was used to measure the major constituents Na₂O, MgO, Al₂O₃, SiO₂, P₂O₅, SO₃, K₂O, CaO, TiO₂, MnO and Fe₂O₃. inductively-coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) was used to measure Li, Ca, Ti, V, Cr, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Ga, Ge, As, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba, REE, Hf, Tl, Pb, Th and U.
For Pakaha-1 and Kawau-1A side wall core samples, ICP-MS was used to
measure Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Y, Zr, Nb, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb, Hf, Ta, W, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th and U. Insufficient sample was available for XRF on these samples.
No major changes in oxygen concentration during deposition were recorded by redox-sensitive elements from Angora Quarry and Pakaha-1 sediments; however samples from Kawau-1A and from a section 1 km upstream from Angora Quarry were deposited under somewhat oxygen-depleted conditions. As the anoxic and suboxic indicators show significantly lower variations than under present day anoxic
environments, and in Angora Quarry CaO and SO₃ are significantly depleted with higher aluminosilicates a rapid deposition is required to explain the preservation of the organic matter. In the Great South Basin wells, the clay content correlates directly with increased gamma ray levels measured by well logs. Increased influx of terrestrial clays has been linked to marine transgressions in many New Zealand sediments and is been taken to mean the same for the Waipawa and Tartan formations. The oxygen depletion indicates that water depths during deposition
exceeded 50 metres. The depositional model proposed here, therefore, is that of a major marine transgression that flooded and eroded near-shore swamps, re-depositing the terrestrial organic matter offshore. The increased nutrients released by this would have stimulated bioproductivity and locally, where conditions were suitable, depleted the
oxygen content of the water column. This study also suggests ternary diagrams are valuable for calculating the enrichment of elements affected by two processes, such as Sr, which is related to both
detrital Al and related to biological Ca. Ga, Ba and Al content are also related on a ternary diagram indicating the similar terrestrial and biological relationships for Ba and Ga. W was found to behave in a similar way to Bi. Enrichment factors proved less useful than absolute enrichment for Kawau-1A, where detrital input varied greatly and
was found to be significantly different in composition to average shale as defined by Wedephol (1971)
