Full textAbstract:
AbstractAlthough small benthic freshwater fish species are an important biological component of fish assemblages and free instream movement is indispensable for their survival, they are often neglected in fish pass performance studies. In this study, a capture-mark-recapture approach was used to assess whether small bottom-dwelling species, including gudgeon (Gobio gobio), stone loach (Barbatula barbatula), spined loach (Cobitis taenia) and bullhead (Cottus gobio), were able to cross a pool-and-weir fish pass in a regulated lowland river. Some tagged individuals of stone loach (18%), gudgeon (7%) and spined loach (2%) managed to successfully ascend the fish pass under study, despite the fact that water velocity levels in the different overflows of the facility (between 0.55-1.22 m/s) exceeded the critical swimming speed of all three species. Although this suggests that a pool-and-weir fish pass is a able to facilitate upstream movement of some small benthic species in a regulated river, more detailed research incorporating advanced tagging and retrieving techniques is necessary.

Full textAbstract:
The morris water maze (MWM) was developed by morris as a device to investigate spatial learning and memory in laboratory rats. MWM has become one of the most frequently used laboratory tools in behavioral neuroscience. The MWM task has been often used in the validation of rodent models for neurocognitive disorders (e.g., Parkinson, Alzheimer, Epilepsy, and Schizophrenia), and the evaluation of possible neurocognitive treatments. It is also being used to assess the properties of established potential antipsychotics in animal models of Schizophrenia. The MWM task requires rats to find a hidden platform in a large, circular pool of water that is colored opaque with powdered non-fat milk (or) non-toxic tempera paint where they must swim to the hidden platform. Because they are in the opaque water, the animals cannot see the platform and cannot rely on scent to find the escape route. Instead, they must rely on extra-maze cues. The behavior of rat can be evaluated by analyzing the different parameters such as escape latency, swim speed, and path length, and probe trail. The purpose of this review is to briefly describe procedural aspects, interpretational difficulties of data and advantages of MWM. This paradigm has become a benchmark test for learning and memory difficulties in animal models and preclinical research in general.

Full textAbstract:
In April 1989, young-of-the-year snapper (Pagrus auratus) were captured from the wild and injected with tetracycline. The fish were reared on natural food in a large pool with flowing sea water under ambient marine conditions. Two fish were removed every two months for two years, and the growth of their otoliths, relative to the tetracycline mark, was measured. Growth of the otoliths was greatest in spring and summer and least during winter. Opaque marks appeared in the otoliths of fish during both winters of the study. Our results confirm that the opaque marks in otoliths of young snapper can be used to determine the age of the fish in years.

Full textAbstract:
Platypuses, Ornithorhynchus anatinus, have been studied on the Duckmaloi River, New South Wales, in a long term mark-release-recapture project from 1986 to 1996. Some animals are recaptured regularly, while others are trapped only once. A high percentage of juveniles are never retrapped. New animals continue to be captured each year. Hence radio-tracking was employed to examine the movements of animals within the river system including their spatial utilisation of the Duckmaloi Weir. Concurrent studies on activity patterns and burrow usage were undertaken. Seventeen animals (I 0 juveniles, 2 subadults and 5 adults) were radio-tracked for various lengths of time between January and October 1993. Telemetric data revealed that radio-tagged animals were not recaptured on all possible occasions. Home ranges (length of river) varied from 0.5 km to 3.5 km. Home ranges of all animals, overlapped extensively, while core area overlap also occurred in the pool behind the Duckmaloi weir. One juvenile male dispersed 8.5 km upstream from the weir. Platypuses typically utilised areas when feeding with water depth between I to 2.5 m, rarely using areas less than 0.5 m deep. Juvenile platypuses were crepuscular and nocturnal, while adults, although mainly nocturnal also exhibited individual variations in diurnality. Although some individuals remained active throughout the night, others returned to burrows before re-entering the water. Animals commonly returned to certain burrow complexes with some exhibiting a higher degree of burrow site specificity than others. Certain burrows were used by nearly all radio-tagged animals over time while others were used by only a select number of individuals. Some animals tracked in the weir pool were found to share burrows.

Full textAbstract:
Clay tonsils mark permeable porous boundaries of basaltic flows. Poor penetration of water is expressed in local occurrence of smectite-sepiolite tonsils with admixtures of halloysite and polygorskite. Increasing water infiltration that results in complete filling of pores and cavities in basalts by the same clay minerals is accompanied by the entry of a goethite admixture. Mature weathering crust on basalts is characterized by smectite-goethite composition without sepiolite. The cryptic clay mineralization of permeable basalt layers might result in overestimating ages in K-Ar system and distortion of primary geochemical signatures of volcanic rocks.

Film neutron radiography (NR) technique has been adopted to study the internal defects likehomogeneity, porosity, incremental intrusion area, initial rapid absorption (IRA) and water penetratingheight/behavior of the automated machine made environmentally friendly brick-MAB sample.Thermal neutron radiography facility installed at the tangential beam port of 3 MW TRIGA MARK-IIreactor was used in this study. In here optical density or gray values of the neutron radiographicimages of the sample was measured. From the measurement it was found that most of the areas of thissample were homogeneous, which indicateed the presence of a little bit internal porosity andabsorption of water to be very poor. It also showed that its initial rapid absorption was less and waterabsorption behavior was capillary and of wave shape.

Full textAbstract:
The reliability of the extended Time Compression Approximation (TCA), commonly adopted in watershed models in order to represent the infiltration associated with erratic rainfalls, is investigated. This approximation is considered as a component of an adaptive real-time flood forecasting model. The forecasted flows are compared with those obtained replacing the extended TCA with the Complex Storm Point Infiltration Model (CSPIM) recently proposed by Smith et al. (1993). The discharge forecasted through the infiltration component based on the numerical solution of Richards' equation is used as a bench mark. The models were applied to situations representative of real areas in Central Italy. The CSPIM based watershed model was found to provide excellent results. The TCA based model, in spite of the adaptive component, yielded poor results for various rainfall patterns. However, it seems to be a reasonable approximation when a uniform rainfall spatial distribution is involved.

"Role of free-ranging mammals in the deposition of Escherichia coli into a Texas floodplain." Wildlife Research 40, no. 7 (2013): 570. http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/wr13082.
Full textAbstract:
Context The role of wildlife in faecal pollution of water bodies (deposition of Escherichia coli (E. coli)) is not well understood. Current water-quality and land-use planning research largely relies on unreliable wildlife data (e.g. poor sourcing of abundance estimates, population density estimates applied to multiple fundamentally different areas, suspect or insufficiently described data collection techniques) Aims Our goal for the present research was to investigate deposition of E. coli into a floodplain by free-ranging mammals. Objectives of the research were to determine the density of important free-ranging meso- and large mammals in the study area, determine faecal E. coli loads for each species, and evaluate spatial data on species-specific faecal deposition. Methods We conducted our research in south-eastern Texas, USA, on two cattle ranches bisected by Cedar Creek (44-km long). Cedar Creek has elevated E. coli concentrations. We conducted mark–recapture and mark–resight population density estimates (2008/09) for meso- and large mammals in the study areas. We collected faecal samples from all captured wildlife. We also conducted transects through the study area to determine faecal-deposition patterns. Key results We found that raccoons (Procyon lotor), wild pigs (Sus scrofa), Virginia opossums (Didelphis virginiana) and white-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus) all had substantial faecal E. coli loads and population densities, thus implying an important role in E. coli deposition into the study floodplain. All species were widely distributed through the floodplain. Conclusions Free-ranging mammals contribute E. coli to floodplains and potentially affect water quality. We determined that four species commonly found in floodplains throughout North America all contributed E. coli to the study floodplain, thus implying mammal E. coli contributions in many locations and this is potentially important for E. coli management. Implications Improved locally specific mammal population estimates and estimates of locally derived E. coli concentration will improve floodplain and water-quality models that often depend on data of various quality. Additionally, our analyses demonstrated the need for continued research into the role of wildlife in E. coli deposition.

The celebration of the 40th anniversary of the National Institute of Dental Research (NIDR) provides an opportunity for reviewing the growth of dental research over the decades. The Institute owes its origin to public and professional concern over the dental health of Americans and the prospect that a Federal investment in dental research could pay off. The early years of the Institute were devoted to studies of fluoride and dental caries, with notable achievements in clinical trials of water fluoridation and caries microbiology. During the 1960s came the discovery that the periodontal diseases, like dental caries, were bacterial infections that could be prevented. Basic and clinical research expanded, and the research manpower pool grew with the addition of microbiologists, immunologists, salivary gland investigators, and other basic biomedical and behavioral scientists. The Institute created special broad-based Dental Research Institutes and Centers to foster interdisciplinary research, and continued to expand its research base. A national survey undertaken by NIDR in the late 1970s showed major declines in caries prevalence in schoolchildren. Recent NIDR surveys of adults and older Americans as well as a second children's survey have demonstrated overall improvements in oral health and a continued decline in childhood caries. There remain serious oral health problems among older Americans and among individuals and groups susceptible to disease. NIDR will focus on these high-risk individuals in future research aimed at eliminating edentulousness. At the same time, the Institute will continue the cell and molecular biology studies in the area of development, oncology, bone research, and other basic and clinical fields that mark the emergence of dental research as a major force and contributor to biomedical advances today.

Intermittent discharges of storm sewage from combined sewer overflows continue to be one of the principal causes of poor water quality in many urban rivers in the UK. Despite the persistent nature of this problem, very little attention has been given to the study of how discharges of varying magnitude, duration and frequency affect the ecological quality of receiving waters. This information is of critical importance for deriving meaningful water quality criteria for the control of intermittent pollution. This paper describes the results of a study which has been carried out on Pendle Water, a river which flows through the urban catchment of Burnley, Lancashire, UK. Both the chemical and biological quality of Pendle Water are adversely affected by storm sewage discharges during heavy rainfall events. The ecological investigation has been primarily concerned with impact of these episodic discharges on benthic invertebrate communities and physiological responses in fish. Quantitative sampling of macroinvertebrates has indicated that storm sewage discharges may have a significant impact on the structure and diversity of benthic communities in receiving waters. Physico-chemical properties of habitats appear to be altered in a way which tends to favour the proliferation of certain pollution-tolerant species and decrease the abundance of taxa intolerant of organic pollution. Insitu bioassays, including the WRc Mark III Fish Monitor, have been deployed to investigate physiological responses to storm events of different magnitude, duration and frequency. Results are discussed in relation to their application in the field validation of proposed water quality criteria for the control of intermittent pollution from combined sewer overflows.

This study aimed to describe the first two microbiologically confirmed cases of cutaneous and soft tissue Mycobacterium marinum infection in Bulgaria. The isolation of the Nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) strains and their species identification was performed at NRL TB, NCIPD using specific media and cultivation conditions, and PCR based Line Probe Assay (LPA) from the positive cultures. The two patients had closely related jobs to fishes and water reservoirs and both of them had a similar clinical manifestation of M. mari­num infection known as “swimming pool” or “fish tank” granuloma. The prolonged specific treatment with at least two-drug combina­tion of rifampicin plus ethambutol and some complications were a big challenge for clinicians as well as the patients.

The Kelingi Tugumulyo Irrigation Area is a permanent weir irrigation that runs through the building for the Satan Muara Beliti Water channel. Secondary Air Satan Muara Beliti channel has 5 buildings with the main function to flow the water through the rice fields in the Mara Beliti sub-district. Problems that arise in the distribution of water are the loss of irrigation water due to the pool of swift water and infiltration of water into the soil if the soil is saturated. These problems cause a lack of discharge for the fulfillment of irrigation water due to water loss in the secondary channel. The method used in assessing the Evaluation of Irrigation Water Provision from the Watervang Dam for Satan Water Secondary Channels was by analyzing the data of maximum discharge, minimum discharge, and average discharge of the Watervang Dam as well as calculating water demand and water availability in the Satan Muara Beliti Water Irrigation Area. There are three results about Tanah Priuk 1 weir channel (BTP1) condition. First, based on the plan discharge, according to the Kelugi Tugumulyo Irrigation network scheme, debit from BTP 1 to BTP 2 was 30.10 l/s, whereas the result from field calculation through the use of current meter was 7.89 l/sec; it means the lack of water from the plan for BTP 1 - BTP 2 which is 22.21 l/sec. Second, the debit from BTP 2 to BTP 3 was 10.80 l/sec, whereas the result from field calculation through the use of current meter was 6.20 l/s; it means the lack of water from the plan for BTP 2 - BTP 3 was 4.60 l/sec. Third, the debit from BTP 4 to BTP 5 was 11.10 l/sec, whereas the result from field calculation through the use of current meter was 6.92 l/s; it means the lack of water from the plan for BTP 4 - BTP 5 was 4.18 l/sec . It concluded that the secondary channel from BTP 5 to the village of Bali has insufficient water.

Full textAbstract:
`Jonagold'/Mark apple (Malus domestica Borkh.) trees that were chip-budded in Washington and Illinois on 31 Aug. or 21 Sept. 1989 were sampled in Apr. 1990 to determine if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) could be used to nondestructively examine vascular continuity or discontinuity between the rootstock and scion. Images could be placed into three categories based on signal intensity: 1) the rootstock, bud shield, and the bud or new scion growth had a high signal intensity; 2) the rootstock and the bud shield had a high signal intensity, but the scion had a low signal intensity; and 3) the rootstock had a high signal intensity, but the bud shield and scion had a low signal intensity. High signal intensity was associated with bound water in live tissue and the establishment of vascular continuity between the rootstock and scion. Azosulfamide staining and destructive sectioning confirmed that vascular continuity was established when the rootstock, bud shield, and scion had a high signal intensity in images, whereas budding failure occurred when the bud shield and/or the scion had a low signal intensity. Additional trees that had wilted or weak scion growth were collected from Illinois in June 1990. Parenchyma tissue was found in the scion adjacent to the bud shield that interrupted the vascular tissue. Poor scion growth on trees from the 21 Sept. budding in Washington may be attributed to insufficient growth of rootstock and/or scion tissues at the union in the fall.

Full textAbstract:
Powdery mildew is a major problem in melon (Cucumis melo L.) production worldwide. Three genes for resistance to Sphaerotheca fuliginea (Schlecht. ex Fr.) Poll. race 1 and race 2U.S. were identified in growth chamber and greenhouse tests in the cross of PI 313970 × `Top Mark'. A recessive gene conditioned resistance of true leaves to race 1. A recessive gene appeared to condition resistance of cotyledons to race 2U.S., although a second recessive gene may be involved. A semi-dominant gene conditioned resistance of true leaves to race 2U.S. Limited data suggested linkage of the recessive gene for resistance to race 1 and the semi-dominant gene for resistance to race 2U.S. The resistance reaction of PI 313970 to infection of true leaves by race 2U.S. included water-soaked spots and resistant blisters, but segregation data for the resistant blister reaction were inconclusive. Allelic relationships of these genes with previously reported melon powdery mildew resistance genes remain to be determined.

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is worldwide forage and grown in different environmental conditions. This high geographical adaptation stimulates the genetic variation and gives breeders the possibility of using highly diverse gene pools. In this work five of Egyptian alfalfa (Medicago sativa L) cultivars of different geographic origin (Ismailia 1, Ismailia 2, Nubaria 1, Ramah and Sewi) in addition to the Australian cultivar (Medicago truncatula ) to complete a set of six cultivars represent six genotypes were evaluated for their responses to water regime on the level of some morphological characters such as flag leaf, stem diameter, plant height, leaf length and weight of 1000 grains then undergone a test for their genetic diversity with two selected molecular markers SSR and ISSR . The ISSR marker is more discriminating, provides more informative data than SSR marker. The five used ISSR primers succeeded in identifying four positive markers, the A1 & A2 primers generated positive bands at molecular size 650 & 510 bp in Nubaria 1 & Australian respectively which positively mark the width of flag leaf, stem diameter plant height and the pods productivity when correlates the obtained ISSR results with some of yield traits. The Sewi, Ramah and Australian cultivars which scored the highest plant and larger leaves under water regime are close relatives and genes can flow smoothly among them to produce new Alfalfa genotype with high tolerance to water deficit. Also, Ismailia 1 & 2 and Nubaria 1 are close relatives can exchange genes in between smoothly.

Full textAbstract:
A survey of Eurasian otters (Lutra lutra) along the Skye coastline revealed a variation in distribution on different coastal types. Factors like geology, width of the intertidal zone, intertidal makeup, slope of coastline, inland vegetation, and number of freshwater pools could influence otter distribution. A quantitative method based on a logistic regression model is applied to take into account three scalable and four categorical environmental variables which may or may not affect otter distribution. Otter presence or absence in 500 m coastal sections was compared with binary dependent variables and a set of independent variables on 622 coastal sites. Analysis shows that this method can be used to characterise combinations of factors to predict if otters are likely to occur on a particular coastline. Geology, height 25 m above High Water Mark (indicating slope of coastline), and number of freshwater pools all affect otter utilisation of the coastal zone. Coastlines with Torridonian and Mesozoic rocks and the Landslip area show a positive effect on otters, while all other coastlines have a negative effect. Although primarily of theoretical importance, the model could be used as a tool to locate coastlines elsewhere which are of potential conservation importance for otters.

Full textAbstract:
The negative organic carbon isotope excursion (CIE) associated with the end-Triassic mass extinction (ETE) is conventionally interpreted as the result of a massive flux of isotopically light carbon from exogenous sources into the atmosphere (e.g., thermogenic methane and/or methane clathrate dissociation linked to the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province [CAMP]). Instead, we demonstrate that at its type locality in the Bristol Channel Basin (UK), the CIE was caused by a marine to nonmarine transition resulting from an abrupt relative sea level drop. Our biomarker and compound-specific carbon isotopic data show that the emergence of microbial mats, influenced by an influx of fresh to brackish water, provided isotopically light carbon to both organic and inorganic carbon pools in centimeter-scale water depths, leading to the negative CIE. Thus, the iconic CIE and the disappearance of marine biota at the type locality are the result of local environmental change and do not mark either the global extinction event or input of exogenous light carbon into the atmosphere. Instead, the main extinction phase occurs slightly later in marine strata, where it is coeval with terrestrial extinctions and ocean acidification driven by CAMP-induced increases inPco2; these effects should not be conflated with the CIE. An abrupt sea-level fall observed in the Central European basins reflects the tectonic consequences of the initial CAMP emplacement, with broad implications for all extinction events related to large igneous provinces.

Studi mengenai ekopreferensi dan dua jenis mangrove (Avicennia marina dan A. alba) dilakukan di tegakan mangrove muara sungai Wulan, Demak. Tujuan penelitian ini diarahkan untuk melihat kemampuan ekopreferensi A. marina dan A. alba terhadap salinitas, jenis sedimen dan kandungan air. Data vegetasi diperoleh dengan menggunakan transek garis yang dikombinasikan dengan cara kuadrat yang dimodifikasi dari Cox (1967) dan Mueller-Dumbois & Ellenberg (1977). Dua stasiun pengumpulan data vegetasi ditentukan secara horisontal dari garis pasang terendah sampai garis pasang tertinggi. Pengukuran parameter lingkungan dilakukan pada transek yang ada dan tanah sampel dianalisis untuk melihat fraksi tekstur. Hasil analisis menunjukkan bahwa dalam hal keragaman vegetasi, tegakan mangrove yang ada di muara Sungai Wulan miskin dalam hal komposisi jenis dibandingkan dengan tegakan mangove yang ada di sepanjang pantai utara Jawa Tengah. Studi ini juga menunjukkan bahwa kehadiran A. marina cenderung menjadi species pelopor dibandingkan dengan A. alba. Diduga hal ini disebabkan oleh kemampuan A marina untuk beradaptasi pada kondisi salinitas dan tipe tanah yang marginal. Kata kunci: Bakau, ekopreferensi, A. marina, A. alba, Muara Sungai Wulan A b s t r a c t Study on ecological preferences of two Avicennia species was carried out in Wulan River, Demak, Central Java. The sudy was aimed at revealing the eco-preference toward salinity, sediment types and water content. Vegetation data were collected by implementing line transect approach combined with quadrate methods modified according to Cox (1967) and Mueller-Dumbois & Ellenberg (1977). Two sites for vegetation data collection were set horizontally from High Tide Mark toward Low Tide Mark. All ecological parameters were measured in situ on the established transects. The results showed that in term of mangrove species diversity this area is low or marginally poor compared to other mangrove belts along the northern coast of Central Java. The study also showed that the two Avicennia species are the pioneer species. These two species of Avicennia are adaptable to the salinity and soil types that are poor in term of nutrients content.

Full textAbstract:
This article gives an overview of the cuckoo image from the ethnolinguistic perspective. The cuckoo symbol is very old and is connected with ancient Mari concepts. The cuckoo is often associated with the image of a widow or an orphan. In addition to this, the image of the cuckoo also is connected with images of the funeral and memorial cult of the Mari people. The cuckoo is present in the symbolism of death. It manifests itself not only in fortune telling, but also in a number of omens and superstitions. Like other European peoples, the Mari people ask the cuckoo about the years left for a person to live. The cuckoo is often regarded as a frightening omen. It was regarded as an unhappy omen to hear the cuckoo calling from the right. It is considered to be lucky to have money in the pocket when one hears a cuckoo first. The voice and way of life of this bird distinguishes it from other birds. Girls would ask the cuckoo how many years it would be before they get married. It is said that when the cuckoo starts cuckooing, the water is warm enough to swim. The cuckoo calls incessantly – the weather will be bright and good. A cuckoo near the house foretold misfortune. For the Mari people, cuckoo is a prophetic, sacred bird.Kokkuvõte. Kristina Yuzieva: Linnu kujutamine mari rahva traditsioonilises nägemuses: kägu (etnolingvistiline aspekt). Artiklis antakse ülevaade käo kujutamisest, lähtudes etnolingvistilisest vaatepunktist. Käo sümbol on väga vana ja seotud mari muistsete mõistetega. Kägu seostatakse sageli lesknaise ja vaeslapsega. Lisaks sellele on käo kujutamine seotud mari rahva kujutlusega matustest ja mälestusteenistustest. Kägu kuulub ka surma sümboolikasse. See tuleb esile mitte ainult tuleviku ennustamises, vaid ka arvukates ennetes ja ebausukommetes. Nagu mitmed teisedki Euroopa rahvad, küsivad marid käolt, kui palju aastaid on inimesel jäänud elada. Kägu peetakse sageli kurjakuulutavaks endeks. Kui kuuldi kägu kukkumas paremal pool, siis peeti seda õnnetuse endeks. Kui keegi kuuleb kägu esimesena, siis peeti seda õnnelikuks endeks, et taskusse tuleb raha. Hääl ja eluviis eristavad kägu teistest lindudest. Tüdrukud võivad käo käest küsida, mitu aastat kulub, kuni nad abielluvad. Arvatakse, et kui kägu hakkab kukkuma, siis on vesi piisavalt soe, et ujuma minna. Kui kägu lakkamatult kukub, siis tuleb selge ja hea ilm. Kägu maja lähedal kuulutab ebaõnne. Mari rahvale on kägu prohvetlik ja püha lind.Märksõnad: mari keel, etnolingvistiline aspekt, lind, kägu, sümbol

Full textAbstract:
Skeletal concentrations are common foci for paleontologic collecting, yet vary widely in their expected levels of taphonomic bias, particularly temporal resolution and biological fidelity. Basic concentration types include: (1) simple event-concentrations composed of anything from autochthonous-census, entirely exotic, or entirely remanié assemblages (e.g., shelly tempestites, shell-lined burrows); (2) composite concentrations of many stacked to complexly amalgamated events, accumulated in normal to expanded thickness (e.g., bioherms, shell banks & fans); (3) stratigraphically condensed hiatal concentrations having an even greater minimum degree of assemblage-level taphonomic bias (e.g., transgressive shelly sands, sediment-starved bone beds); and (4) lag-concentrations formed by erosion/corrosion of significant section and composed typically of highly culled and time-disordered skeletal material. Detailed field study of three temperate to subtropical basins in North America and reconnaissance of other basins at similar and lower paleolatitudes indicate that these four concentration types are distributed systematically within unconformity-bounded sequences and, moreover, that marine sequences vary qualitatively both in their stratigraphic anatomy (e.g. Van Wagoner et al., 1990; Einsele & Bayer, 1991) and skeletal taphonomy as a function of long-term subsidence.I. Basins of moderate subsidence (total 10's cm/ka maintained over 1–10 ma) are characterized by “textbook” sequences composed of discrete upward-shallowing parasequences in transgressive and highstand/regressive marine phases. Taphonomically, sequences in these settings typically contain a variety of concentration types, and therefore require careful taphonomic differentiation. In the shale-rich Cretaceous Ostracode Zone (Alberta foreland basin; Banerjee & Kidwell, 1991), for example, composite shell beds mark the tops of parasequences near the basin margin, event-beds of granulated shell mark the bases of parasequences further offshore, and diagenetically complex, shell-poor hiatal limestones mark maximum flooding surfaces in the most distal areas.II. Basins of high subsidence (total 100's cm/ka maintained over ≥1ma) are typically characterized by expanded sequences with vague parasequences; sedimentary cyclicity is linked more clearly to local tectonism and autocyclic environments than to eustasy. Taphonomically, these records are dominated by comparatively straightforward event- and composite concentrations. In the Mio-Pliocene Salton Trough (Gulf of California rift basin), for example, oyster bioherms and shell-ridges cap upward-shallowing delta-front cycles, and coral-bearing bioclastites occur along the distal toes of coastal alluvial fans and are banked against inter-fan rocky shorelines. Hiatal concentrations are poorly developed, even along downlap surfaces, and laterally extensive lags are rare.III. Basins of low subsidence (total ≤ few cm/ka maintained over 1–10 ma) are characterized by stratigraphically telescoped sequences with poorly developed (and locally deepening-up) “parasequences”; transgressive surfaces largely coincide with sequence boundaries. Hiatal and lag concentrations are relatively common and close-spaced stratigraphically; these may be taxonomically diverse even in temperate latitudes owing to environmental condensation, and in all instances are taphonomically complex. In the Miocene Chesapeake Group (outcropping U.S. Altantic passive margin), 4 transgressive hiatal shell concentrations lie within 40 m of section; each contains up to ~100 species and rests directly on a 3rd-order sequence boundary. A starved hiatal bone bed with high microplankton diversity marks the major 2nd-order downlap surface; lags of comminuted bones, teeth, and mollusk steinkerns mantle shallow-water unconformities near lap-out.

Full textAbstract:
An analysis of mark-recapture data for Rattus tunneyi in Kakadu National Park from a 7-year period was performed. Capture rates declined 500-fold during this period. The species exhibits a strong preference for riparian vegetation. The diet is primarily herbivorous, with little insect material. High-nutrient plant parts are generally chosen. Reproduction is most common in the wet season but some breeding extends throughout the year if unseasonal rain occurs during the dry season. Fire regime seems to have little effect on population numbers. The level of groundwater irrigating the riparian system and to a lesser extent current rainfall have a much stronger influence. Museum records show a contraction since European colonization from a near-total continental distribution to one-seventh of its former distribution along the north-west Australian and southern Queensland coast. The contraction from the more arid regions is likely to be due to the impact of introduced mammalian herbivores on the riparian habitats which previously functioned as refuge areas during periods of low water availability. Historically, R. tunneyi is likely to have fluctuated in distribution and abundance throughout the continent. In recent times, this has included irruptions into commercial crops in some areas. The loss of local refuges plus relatively poor powers of dispersal have resulted in the distribution now being fragmented, with the north-western and central east coasts of Australia providing the most significant habitat for the species.

Full textAbstract:
The search for new, deep-seated drinking water resources in Denmark has increased significantly during the past five years as a result of the discovery of excessive amounts of nitrate, pesticides and other pollutants in shallow groundwater boreholes (e.g. Nygaard et al. 2004, this volume). To find and map these aquifers, a multidisciplinary sequence stratigraphic approach has successfully been applied to the Miocene deposits of southern Jutland, where especially the Odderup and Ribe Formations are known as a main aquifer for drinking water from several test wells (Rasmussen et al. 2002). Recently, a more systematic study of the Miocene succession in central and western Jutland has been initiated by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) under contract with local authorities. It includes detailed sedimentological descriptions of outcrops, sedimentological andlog-interpretations of new stratigraphic boreholes and interpretation of new high-resolution seismic data (Fig. 1). A number of outcrops and wells have been studied palynologically, resulting in a detailed dinoflagellate cyst stratigraphy and in palynofacies interpretations. The results of these studies have been integrated in the regional geological and stratigraphic model (Fig. 2). Two new aquifers have been discovered: the Bastrup sand and the Billund sand. The Bastrup sand has already been exploited as a main aquifer in central and southern Jutland, and has been referred to either the Ribe or Odderup Formations. However, new stratigraphic results reveal that the Bastrup sand is a separate unit in the Miocene succession. The Billund sand is a deep-seated aquifer located more than 100 m and often more than 150 m deep, and is therefore not penetrated by standard water supply wells which rarely reach c. 100 m. The Billund sand was first revealed by multichannel seismic data deriving from former oil-exploration carried out in the Billund area (Fig. 3A). The resolution of these seismic data is very poor, but one interpretation of the dipping reflectors (clinoforms) seen in Fig. 3A was of a delta complex. This agrees with outcrop studies along the fjords of eastern Jutland which suggest that a spit complex was deposited in this area during the Early Miocene. The Billund sand was tested by the Vandel Mark well in 2001, which penetrated c. 40 m of sand at a depth of 200 m. The presence of a regional major sand body was later confirmed by new high-resolution seismic data and by the Billund and Løvlund wells in 2002. The Billund well penetrated 50 m of medium- to coarse-grained sand, and chemical tests of the water quality were good. However, a water supply well at Fjand in western Jutland has had problems with so-called ‘brown water’ – water enriched in organic matter (humus). Saline water may also be expected close to older deep-seated faults. This paper summarises the results of a mapping programme of the Billund sand initiated in the summer of 2003.

Full textAbstract:
In the papers of G.E. Archie and V.N. Dakhnov were presented formulas of dependence between resistivity (or conductivity) of soil and that of porous water. Such dependence shows that we need to know water resistivity, that means its study at each fieldwork area. In some areas places for groundwater are absent or restricted (boreholes, wells, springs) as places of surface water (rivers, streams, ponds, lakes). Can we measure water resistivity in pools? Immediately after rain such water has no relation with soil resistivity. The purpose of our study consists in determination the rules of ionic exchange between soil and rain water in time. In the paper [Brunet et al., 2010] the authors demonstrated results of water resistivity measurements at contact with soil in time. We wanted to check results of that experiment.

Full textAbstract:
The Indonesian state is authentically a country that is abundant in terms of its natural resources (SDA). The islands from Sabang to Marauke are lined with abundant and varied wealth. Starting from gold, silver, spices and so on. However, the poor state of Indonesia at this time then raises a question mark, why are Indonesia's natural resource assets which spill over cannot support the benefit of the country, instead being followed by bitterness? This problem is very complex and must be searched for causes and solutions found. The goal is so that the Indonesian state does not go bankrupt and become a country that runs aground. Indonesia is entangled in the wave of globalization which is pulling slowly into the valley of destruction. Globalization is sown through these agencies using "nirvana" propaganda for the newly developing countries, including Indonesia. Because, in principle, globalization is nothing more than a camouflage for the expansion of international capitalism which always creates new targets. The collapse caused by the scour of globalization is a historical crisis of authority and extortion of one state to another. One of the fruits of the squeezing of economic globalization is that many laws have a neoliberal flavor. It is clear that the law provides space for international companies to participate in making a profit in Indonesia. Starting from 1999-2012, there were at least 39 laws that led to liberalization. One of the effects of the direction of opening up to foreign capital is that it dominates the agricultural sector. In 2011, foreign investment was dominated by 4 countries: Singapore, the United States, Japan and the UK, covering mining, electricity, gas, water, transportation and agriculture.

Full textAbstract:
The Hihi Notiomystis cincta, a New Zealand honeyeater (Aves: Meliphagidae), became extinct everywhere except one offshore island following European colonization, Attempts to establish Hihi on additional islands in the 1980s had poor success, and this was attributed to food limitation. These islands had all been modified by human use, and had a lower diversity of natural carbohydrate (fruit and nectar) sources than the source island, particularly in winter. When Hihi were released on two additional islands, Mokoia and Tiritiri Matangi, we used supplementation experiments to test whether condition and survival of birds were limited by availability of carbohydrate food. Sugar water was provided on an on-off basis from autumn through spring in the year after the release. Birds were weighed at the beginning and end of fed periods, and survival for fed and unfed periods was estimated using mark-recapture analysis on sighting data. Armstrong and Perrott (2000) reported that supplementary feeding had no effect on condition or survival on Mokoia, and annual survival was about 40%, both in the year of the experiment and in subsequent years when food was supplied continuously. This paper reports contrasting results for Tiritiri Matangi. Supplementary feeding on Tiritiri Matangi increased both condition and survival, and overall survival was substantially higher than on Mokoia - 66% in the year of the experiment and 76% the following year when food was supplied continuously. It therefore appears that supplementary feeding can be used to improve survival of Hihi on Tiritiri Matangi, whereas survival is constrained to a low level by other factors on Mokoia. These results emphasize the value of habitat manipulation experiments for developing appropriate management strategies for reintroduced populations.

The water is salty more so than some bores. The why doesn?t matter. But it made a nice salty cup of tea, which some of the students in my company didn?t finish drinking even though they agreed with me that had they made soup with it the salt would have been advantageous. I only asked, ?Did the water boil?? Thus, it was safe to drink ? even better with soup. In some cities in Australia they are banning bottled water, because it is the most wasteful use of money and energy since the disposable razor. There are lessons to be learnt here.

Full textAbstract:
Although there are many positive benefits gained from green areas, it is possible that people also have a negative perception towards such areas. Previous studies have shown that natural areas are sometimes perceived as scary, disgusting and uncomfortable when the sites are more densely vegetated, particularly when the vegetation is not apparently maintained and crime is often cited as a reason to avoid densely wooded areas. Based on this notion. a preliminary survey was conducted at Kepong Metropolitan Park. A total 0/69 park users were interviewed. A questionnaire was designed to provide information on the users' perception 0/ personal safety based on vegetation composition in urban parks. The perception of personal safety was based on photos taken before the survey. These photographs were taken at several urban parks in Kuala Lumpur. Out of 66 photographs taken. only 24 photographs were chosen for this study. The selection of the photographs was based on the type of vegetation such as topiary, young trees, matured trees. open space. hedges, shrub. water plant, bamboo, non-woody plants, and palms. Each of these photographs was identified with a numbered label. The respondents were requested to assess the type of surrounding vegetation they regarded as providing the safest environment. This study indicated that a photograph representing topiary plants was chosen by most park users as providing the safest park environment. On the other hand, a photograph depicting a pool with tall water grasses was considered as providing the least secure environment. This preliminary study revealed that people preferred parks which are more organized, maintained and well managed with a 'more formal' landscape setting. This study only presents preliminary evidence for the idea that a green environment can contribute towards fear and the feeling of being unsafe.

Full textAbstract:
Buildings with indoor swimming pools have a large energy footprint. The source of major energy loss is the swimming pool hall where air humidity is increased by evaporation from the pool water surface. This increases energy consumption for heating and ventilation of the pool hall, fresh water supply loss and heat demand for pool water heating. In this paper, a mathematical model of the swimming pool was made to assess energy demands of an indoor swimming pool building. The mathematical model of the swimming pool is used with the created multi-zone building model in TRNSYS software to determine pool hall energy demand and pool losses. Energy loss for pool water and pool hall heating and ventilation are analyzed for different target pool water and air temperatures. The simulation showed that pool water heating accounts for around 22%, whereas heating and ventilation of the pool hall for around 60% of the total pool hall heat demand. With a change of preset controller air and water temperatures in simulations, evaporation loss was in the range 46-54% of the total pool losses. A solar thermal sanitary hot water system was modelled and simulated to analyze it's potential for energy savings of the presented demand side model. The simulation showed that up to 87% of water heating demands could be met by the solar thermal system, while avoiding stagnation.

Full textAbstract:
Safranbolu is known for the abundance of its water resources. The city is a unique and historic settlement that hosts very beautiful examples of traditional Turkish architecture. The city attracts both national and international tourists. In this paper, firstly the Ottoman period water supply structures of Safranbolu are described. Incekaya Aqueduct and water transmission system, also known as the Pasha Water Supply System or Spring System are discussed. The Incekaya Aqueduct delivers drinking water from the spring at Danaköy Village to Safranbolu enabling the transfer over the Tokatlı Canyon via gravity. This aqueduct, a very historic and aesthetically pleasing water structure, was commissioned as a city asset by Ottoman Grand Vizier Izzet Mehmet Pasha in the period of 1794–98. The paper secondly discusses the pool rooms that serve as an example of the spatial usage of water features in traditional residential architecture of the Ottoman period in Safranbolu. The pool rooms were constructed either within or separate from the traditional Safranbolu mansions. Asmazlar Mansion in Safranbolu and Deligözler House in the Bağlar District have been evaluated as examples of pool rooms within the house, and two garden pools in the Bağlar and central districts are assessed as examples of outside pools, known as pavilion mansions with a garden pool.
