    Sketch from the scrapbook of Sarah E.E. Mitchell of Lisdillon on the East Coast of Tasmania 1868. Sketch, not numbered, taken 1868, by Catherine Mitchell, with subsequent notes by Sarah Mitchell in 1935. This sketch was returned from England, 1927. Mark Septimus Mitchell went out shooting during holidays home from Horton College Ross (Kate) C.P. Mitchell and Amy M J Mitchell went with him to Mayfield Swamp. Going through the water called to them “Come on” but they would not. & used to tease him for asking them to come. Mayfield East Coast Tasmania belonged to my father John Mitchell. The sketches by Catherine Penwarne (Kate), eldest daughter of John and Catherine Mitchell (of Cornwall, England, who settled at Lisdillon, East Coast Tasmania in 1852) were made between 1860 and 1876, and portray aspects of 19th Century social and domestic life. Catherine’s sketches were compiled by her sister Sarah. E.E.Mitchell. Derived from her own collection, from those of friends and relations, and from John Ball, Kate's husband, they were compiled sometime between 1928 and 1933. The sketches are mounted in an album, together with: locks of Kate's hair on red silk; a pressed fern arrangement; a coloured photograph of John and Catherine Ball; and coloured views of Buckland Churchyard in 1850, showing the grave of Paul Thomas Mitchell, aged 3 days, and in 1879 showing the grave of Catherine Penwarne Ball. The scrapbook was bequeathed to The Royal Society of Tasmania in 1946. RS 32/

    Correspondence regarding Horace Kephart collection

    No full text
    This copy of a 1934 correspondence, from W. E. Bird to J. Ross Eakin, concerns the Horace Kephart collection. Horace Kephart (1862-1931) was a noted naturalist, woodsman, journalist, and author and promoter of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. William Ernest Bird (1890-1975) with Western Carolina Teachers College would become president of the college in the 1950s. J. Ross Eakin (1879-1946) was the first superintendent of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, holding that post from 1931 until 1945

    Greenlandic debris in Iceland likely tied to Bond 1 ice-rafting in the Dark Ages

    No full text
    We report the discovery of exotic igneous, metamorphic, and sedimentary cobbles in raised beach deposits near Breiðavík, northern Iceland. These deposits consist of alternating cobble-, sand-, and silt-dominated facies. A nearby package of sands and silts, dated to the Late Antique Little Ice Age (LALIA; ca. 536−660 CE), provides age constraints for the raised terraces. While the upper terraces are composed exclusively of local basaltic material, the lowermost terraces (∼2 m above high tide) contain a mix of basaltic and nonbasaltic cobbles, including quartzofeldspathic gneiss, granitoid, rhyolite, sandstone, and serpentinite. U-Pb geochronologic analysis of zircon revealed dominant age modes of ca. 2800, 1150, 500, and 240 Ma with Lu-Hf isotopic compositions suggesting derivation from Greenland’s North Atlantic craton and Caledonian fold belt. The colder conditions of the LALIA, coupled with increased iceberg calving from the Greenland ice sheet, would have led to enhanced ice-rafted debris (IRD) transport to disparate areas south and east of Greenland. The East Greenland and East Iceland currents transported this IRD from Greenland, with deposition occurring along the Icelandic coast as the icebergs melted. This IRD was likely transported across the North Atlantic during Bond event 1. This process, along with those during other transient cooling events, may explain the age discrepancies between local bedrock and detrital zircons in the Arctic

    Influence of hosts on the ecology of arboviral transmission: Potential mechanisms influencing dengue, Murray Valley encephalitis, and Ross River virus in Australia

    Ecological interactions are fundamental to the transmission of infectious disease. Arboviruses are particularly elegant examples, where rich arrays of mechanisms influence transmission between vectors and hosts. Research on host contributions to the ecology of arboviral diseases has been undertaken within multiple subdisciplines, but significant gaps in knowledge remain and multidisciplinary approaches are needed. Through our multidisciplinary review of the literature we have identified five broad areas where hosts may influence the ecology of arboviral transmission: host immunity; cross-protective immunity and antibody-dependent enhancement; host abundance; host diversity; and pathogen spillover and dispersal. Herein we discuss the known and theoretical roles of hosts within these topics and then apply this knowledge to three epidemiologically important mosquito-borne arboviruses that occur in Australia: dengue virus (DENV), Murray Valley encephalitis virus (MVEV), and Ross River virus (RRV). We argue that the underlying mechanisms by which hosts influence arboviral activity are numerous and attempts to delineate these mechanisms further are needed. Investigations that focus on hosts of vector-borne diseases are likely to be rewarding, particularly where the ecology of vectors is relatively well understood. From an applied perspective, enhanced knowledge of host influences upon vector-borne disease transmission is likely to enable better management of disease burden. Finally, we suggest a framework that may be useful to identify and determine host contributions to the ecology of arboviruses

    Evolving mantle convection from bottom-up to top-down

    No full text
    When it comes to convection, what goes up must come down. Or is it, what goes down must come up? The truth is it depends. Although convection must be mass balanced, there is no reason that it must be force balanced: the positive and negative buoyancy forces driving convection up and down, respectively, do not necessarily need to be balanced. The balance, or imbalance, all depends on the top and bottom boundary layers. Thus, convection in Earth's mantle depends on the temperature differences across the core-mantle boundary below and the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary above. Convective asymmetry predominated by positive buoyancy, or bottom-up convection, would be driven by plume ascent, whereas if it were predominated by negative buoyancy, or top-down convection, it would be driven by plate subduction. Symmetric convection would balance plume ascent and plate subduction. Is mantle convection on Earth balanced, dominantly top down or bottom up, or time dependent?</p
