ABSTRACTPurebred lambs from three breeds (East Friesland, Oxford and Texel) were fed to appetite and treated with recombinant DNA-derived bovine somatotropin (BST) at 0·05, 0·10 or 0·20 mg/kg per day or a placebo between 19 and 27 weeks of age.BST maintained growth over the later stages of treatment but did not affect average daily live-weight gain over the whole treatment period. Food intake was decreased and food conversion efficiency was improved by BST treatment. However, carcass weight and killing-out proportion were decreased by BST treatment in all breeds. Consistent breed differences were observed. Oxford lambs had higher live weights and carcass weights than the other breeds but no breed × treatment interactions were apparent. Ultrasonic backfat depth (mean of measurements at 13th rib and 3rd lumbar vertebra) was reduced by BST treatment in the Oxford (the fattest) and Texel lambs but not in the East Frieslands (the leanest). Ultrasonic muscle depth was not affected by BST; East Friesland lambs had considerably smaller muscle depth than the other breeds.In the loin joint, BST decreased fat cover and subcutaneous fat proportion and increased longissimus dorsi proportion. There were also marked breed differences with Oxfords fatter than the other breeds. BST treatment did not affect any of the meat quality indicators but some differences between breeds were apparent in ultimate pH and colour of the muscle. Fatty acid composition of the subcutaneous fat was affected by breed but not by BST. East Friesland lambs had higher concentrations of unsaturated and branched chain fatty acids than the other breeds.A mammogenic response (increased mammary development and some secretory activity) to BST was observed in some female East Friesland and Texel lambs but not in Oxford lambs.

The East Friesland breed, developed as a dairy sheep, has a potentially useful role as a sire of first-cross breeding ewes from hill breeds of sheep. Advantages have been shown in terms of reproductive and lactation performance (Doney et al, 1983, Gunn, 1986) but the carcase conformation may reduce the acceptability of first-cross castrated male (wether) lambs. The characteristics of lambs derived from dairy-type breeds may be suitable for the heavy, lean carcase market (Butler-Hogg et al, 1985). The present study was undertaken as a pilot investigation of the potential growth rate and carcase composition of wether lambs over a range of live weights. East Friesland X Blackface (EFB) wethers were compared with a similar group of Border Leicester X Blackface (BLB) and a smaller group of East Friesland X North Country Cheviot (EFC) wethers.

The land (area) considered here is bounded on the west by Wijdefjorden and on the east by Hinlopenstretet and Storfjorden. The southern boundary is somewhat indefinite. For descriptive convenience Carboniferous through Triassic stratigraphy is treated in Chapters 4 and 5 and Devonian strata to the northwest in Chapter 8. It makes geological sense for these chapter areas to overlap where they meet.Ny Friesland was the name for most of the area under consideration. However, after the accession of the Norwegian King Olav V in 1957 his name was given to what had previously been a somewhat indefinite territory, mostly ice covered (the Terre Glacee Russe of some older maps) to the south east of Ny Friesland. Olav V Land was defined to take in some of what had been referred to as Ny Friesland and early accounts should be read with this in mind (Miloslavskiy et al. 1993, map D8G). This chapter thus concerns Ny Friesland and north western Olav V Land and for descriptive economy Ny Friesland will be used for the area where most of the older rocks crop out.Much of the interior is covered by highland ice rather than an ice cap, meaning that the ice is not thick enough for the surface to be independent of the underlying relief. Indeed the ice cover is broken here and there by rocky cliffs of submerged valley glaciers. The three largest areas of continuous ice are Lomonosovfonna, Asgardfonna and Valhallfonna. The inland ice flows out along valley

The Friesland or East Friesian breed of sheep is a heavy-milking type with a high level of prolificacy. The progeny of the cross with the Scottish Blackface female sheep (ewe) have been shown to have larger, heavier litters in a good lowland environment compared with crossbreds derived from other crossing sires (Boaz, Jones and Smith, 1980; British Friesland Sheep Society, 1983) and to have a higher twinning rate than Scottish Blackface ewes when mated on improved pasture on a hill farm (Doney, Peart, Smith and Sim, 1983). Information is required on the performance of crossbred ewes derived from Friesland sires on other hill breeds and run in less favourable environments such as are common in the hills and uplands.

AbstractThe Caledonides of Ny Friesland comprise the type Hecla Hoek sequence of Svalbard, a succession of late Proterozoic to Ordovician strata greater than 18 km thick. Three supergroups constitute the sequence: the Stubendorffbreen Supergroup (Riphean), the Lomfjorden Supergroup (late Riphean-Sturtian) and the Hinlopenstretet Supergroup (Varanger-mid-Ordovician). Basement elements have recently been identified within the Stubendorffbreen Supergroup, but their extent and significance is yet to be established. The Stubendorffbreen Supergroup records the deposition of sediments and volcanics (both acid and basic) in an unstable marine environment. In contrast, the Lomfjorden and Hinlopenstretet supergroups record sedimentation in a shallow-marine, periodically emergent, stable environment without volcanism. The Ny Friesland Orogen is divided into two subterranes by the Veteranen Line, a zone of attenuation along which sinistral strike-slip displacement has occurred. This line separates the strongly deformed Stubendorffbreen Supergroup rocks in the west from the less-intensely deformed Lomfjorden and Hinlopenstretet supergroup rocks in the east. Despite these contrasts and the obvious displacement, there is no evidence that a significant stratigraphie break occurs across it.All the supergroups were deformed and metamorphosed during the late Ordovician-Silurian Ny Friesland Orogeny. Early compressional deformation produced isoclinal folding and nappes in the Stubendorffbreen Supergroup rocks, accompanied by amphibolite faciès metamorphism; deformation in the Lomfjorden and Hinlopenstretet supergroups was less intense with open, upright folds and greenschist or subgreenschist facies metamorphism. Early compression was followed by a Silurian transpressive deformation that generated a pervasive lineation in the Stubendorffbreen Supergroup rocks. Transpressive deformation and the associated sinistral strike-slip was focused where strata were in a near-vertical attitude conducive to displacement. At a late stage in the orogeny, and probably still under a strike-slip regime, batholiths were emplaced into rocks east of the Veteranen Line.As a result of continued sinistral displacement (transpression, transcurrence and transtension) along the Billefjorden Fault Zone, Ny Friesland (part of the Eastern Province of Svalbard) finally docked against the Central Province during the late Devonian Svalbardian movements. At the same time, the Central Province docked against the Western Province. In total, hundreds of kilometres of Caledonian displacement along the Billefjorden Fault Zone brought the Eastern and Central provinces into their present positions. Pre-Carboniferous Svalbard is thus a composite terrane of at least three provinces, each comprising more than one minor terrane.

ABSTRACTVoluntary food intake (VFI) was measured daily and live weight (LW) was measured weekly in a total of 39 growing lambs of six genotypes given a similar complete chopped-straw based diet in experiments in 1983, 1985, 1987 and 1988. The six genotypes and the years of study were: Scottish Blackface (BF), 1983 and 1988; Suffolk × (Border Leicester × BF) (BL × BF), Suffolk × (East Friesland × Cheviot) (EF × NCC), Suffolk × (East Friesland × BF) (EF × BF), 1985; Welsh mountain (WM) and Beulah (BH), 1985. Measurements were made on lambs penned individually within 6 weeks of weaning at 5 to 6 months of age through to slaughter in the following spring. During this period there was an increase in LW and VFI associated with growth. Regression lines were fitted to LW and weekly means of daily VFI against week for each individual. Analysis of deviations about these lines showed a decline in VFI in BF lambs around December and to a lesser e×tent in BL × BF from December to January. The decline in VFI in BF was observed in two different years. A negative deviation from the normal rate of increase in LW was also apparent although it was much less marked and present in EF × NCC lambs as well as BF and BF × NCC. Any such variability of seasonal cycles between genotypes of growing lamb would influence the e×tent to which nutrition and growth may be manipulated. This should be considered when choosing a feeding or growth regime for a particular genotype, or vice versa.

ABSTRACTSeventy-eight lambs, 9 weeks of age, the offspring of sires of the Scottish Blackface, East Friesland, Finnish Landrace, Suffolk and Texel breeds mated to Scottish Blackface females, as a common maternal breed, were given a barley-fish meal diet containing 1-6 g magnesium and 5·9 g phosphorus per kg dry matter for 13 weeks. Urinary excretion of Mg and P was estimated from the ratio of Mg or P to creatinine in spot samples of urine. A relationship between creatinine excretion and live weight was obtained using total urine excretion from a sample of 20 lambs, two of each sex from each sire breed group. Good agreement was found between the actual and predicted urinary excretion of minerals by the 20 lambs on three occasions.The effect of sire breed on urinary excretion of P was significant (P < 0·05) and the breed types ranked, in descending order of excretion rate, Texel, Blackface, East Friesland, Finnish Landrace and Suffolk, with a four-fold difference in excretion rate between Texel and Suffolk. This difference in urinary excretion of P was taken as evidence of breed differences in efficiency of absorption of dietary P.Urinary excretion of Mg was correlated with the intake of Mg. The mean estimated efficiency of absorption of dietary Mg varied, over the three occasions, from 0·42 to 0·50 and from 0·39 to 0·45 for total collections and for spot samples of urine respectively. Individual variation in the estimated efficiency of absorption within sires was not significant whereas that between sires was significant (P < 0·05). Heritability was estimated to be 0·62 (s.e. 0·30).

AbstractThe late Precambrian–early Palaeozoic rocks of Ny Friesland, which have been subjected to Caledonian deformation and metamorphism, constitute part of the Eastern Province or Terrane of Svalbard. The Harkerbreen group and other divisions of the Stubendorffbreen supergroup form a high-grade and intensely deformed core complex to this terrane which is bounded to the west by the Billefjorden Fault Zone and to the east by a major north–south shear zone. The Stubendorffbreen rocks exhibit two gneissic foliations, one axial planar to a large scale, F1 fold nappe closing to the east and the other axial planar to kilometre-scale upright F2 folds subsidiary to the Atomfjella Arch. Metamorphism in the mid-amphibolite facies range coincided with generation of these folds, and F3.crenulation folding was accompanied by waning P–T conditions. A significant proportion of the gneisses within the Harkerbreen group display silica–major element covariation patterns consistent with their position in the granodiorite field on the AFM plot. Incompatible, immobile element ratios Zr/Ti v. Nb/Y indicate affinities with rhyolites to rhyodacites which is also suggested by their REE profiles. Normalized multi-element plots of the gneisses are similar to those of granites from attenuated within-plate settings such as Mull and Skaergaard. The amphibolites which were intruded in the D1–D2 interval appear to be derivatives of fractionated basalts. They plot across the calk-alkaline tholeiite boundary on the AFM diagram, and the calc-alkaline character of some of the amphibolites is further suggested by their Yb-normalized Ce-Ta abundances. Zr-Ti-Y and REE abundances would support their derivation from a related suite of fractionated basalt liquids. On the Zr/Y v. Zr discrimination diagram the amphibolites appear to have compositions transitional between Mid Ocean Ridge and Within-Plate basalts whilst the Zr-Nb-Ta plot indicates Volcanic Arc Basalt affinities. Th-Hf-Ta and multi-element plots, however, indicate a marginal to back-arc basin setting possibly above a mature subduction zone. The late Caledonian Chydenius granite is an adamellite with mixed within-plate and syn-orogenic characteristics typical of post-collisional granites.

ABSTRACTThe effects of melatonin, administered during anoestrus, on the time of onset of oestrus and on conception rate were investigated in two trials carried out on mature ewes of three indigenous and one imported breed. The ewes lambed between December and February, their lambs were weaned in March and they were hand milked twice daily until September.In the first trial, 12 Chios and 12 Serres ewes were dosed, orally, for 60 days from 19 April with 3 mg melatonin (M) in 10 ml ethanol and water (1: 4 v/v). A similar number of Chios and Serres type ewes in the same flock were nominated as untreated controls (C). Vasectomized rams were used to detect oestrus from 1 May and detected ewes were immediately mated to entire rams of their own breed. The mean dates of first oestrus in Chios ewes were 4 July (s.e. 1·7 days) and 23 July (s.e. 5·4 days) (P < 0·01) for treated and control ewes respectively. Spread of first oestrus was 19 and 61 days, respectively (P < 0·01). Conception rate and ovulation rate were both higher in M (0·90 and 2·3, respectively) than in C (0·55 and 1·8, respectively) but the differences were not statistically significant. The corresponding results in the Serres ewes were 8 July (s.e. 1·6 days) and 31 July (s.e. 6·8 days) (P < 0·01) for date of first oestrus, 19 and 69 days (P < 0·01) for spread of first oestrus, 0·75 and 0·50 (P > 0·05) for conception rate and 1·8 and 1·2 ( P > 0·05) for ovulation rate.In the second trial, 12 Karagouniko and 12 East Friesland ewes received a single subcutaneous implant of melatonin (Regulin®) on 5 June and a further 12 ewes of each breed were untreated controls. The procedure was as given for trial 1. The mean date of first oestrus was advanced by melatonin in both Karagouniko ewes (25 July (s.e. 3·91 days) v. 11 August (s.e. 6·7 days); P < 0·05) and Friesland ewes (28 July (s.e. 3·2 days) v. 24 August (s.e. 7·3 days); P < 0·01). Spread of oestrus was reduced (43 v. 68 days in Karagouniko, P < 0·05 and 22 v. 87 days in Friesland ewes, P < 0·01). Conception rate of melatonin-treated ewes was higher (0·60 v. 0·45; P > 0·05) in both breeds. Ovulation rate was higher in melatonin-treated Karagouniko ewes (1·8 v. 1·3; P > 0·05 but, in the Friesland breed melatonin-treated ewes had a lower ovulation rate (2·8 v. 3·7; P > 0·05).In both trials, melatonin treatment significantly advanced and condensed the dates of first oestrus. Conception rate was consistently increased over all groups (P < 0·05) and there was a tendency towards a higher ovulation rate.

A survey has been conducted in Bukavu on bovines imported in Democratic Republic of Congo from Rwanda to the public slaughterhouse of Bukavu, with the aim of identifying the Ixodidae ticks on their body. Thus, 1024 ticks have been collected on 300 cows for the entomological identification. Four species have been identified whose Boophilus decoloratus (44.4 %), Rhipicephalus appendiculatus (43.9 %), Amblyomma variegatum (11 %) and Ixodes thomasai (2 %). This last species being a new among those recognized in South Kivu. A charge to ticks of 6.5 has been observed at those bovines and the infestation rate has been significantly different in the 4 races, the Friesland (41.1 %) and Ankolé presented the superior values. The importation of cows in this part of the country from Rwanda is a real factor which conducts to the introduction of ticks and also diseases in Democratic Republic of Congo. Then being measures of heath control in the border must be sustained and reinforced for minimizing real risks.

AbstractPatterns of milk production and circulating blood metabolite and hormone concentrations were determined throughout a 14-week lactation in groups of 10 twin-rearing East Friesland EF) and Scottish Blackface (SBF) ewes. All ewes were offered, ad libitum, a pelleted diet throughout the experiment and milk yields were measured weekly. Pooled blood samples (six samples, 20-min intervals), collected before feeding, on 1 day of each week, were assayed for plasma glucose, non-esterfied fatty acids, 3-hydroxybutyrate (3-OHB), albumin, total protein, insulin, growth hormone (GH), cortisol, prolactin, thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3). At weeks 2, 4,10, and 14, samples were collected at 20-min intervals for 8 h and assayed individually for plasma insulin, GH, cortisol, and prolactin. Mean daily intakes and milk yields of ewes were similar in the two breeds. Mean pre-feeding concentrations of most blood metabolites during the experiment were also similar in ewes of the two breeds but SBF ewes had higher plasma concentrations of 3-OHB (0·67 v. 0·43 mmol/l; P < 0·01) and total protein (73·2 v. 66·4 g/l; P < 0·001). SBF ewes had higher overall mean concentrations of insulin (9·53 v. 4·36 mU/l; P < 0·001), cortisol (7·59 v. 573 μg/l; P < 0·05), prolactin (457·1 v. 316·1 μg/l; P < 0·05), and T3(1.32 v. 1·12 μg/l; P < 0·001). GH and T4profiles were similar in the two breeds. Following the daily introduction of fresh food, there were significant increases in concentration of insulin (P < 0·001) and cortisol (P < 0·01) while there was a decrease in mean concentrations of GH (P < 0·001) and prolactin (P < 0·01). There were significant interactions between breed and feeding effects on insulin, GH, cortisol and prolactin concentrations. Patterns of milk production in ewes of these breeds were associated with changes in insulimGH ratios both before and after feeding which may be of a causal nature.

ABSTRACTNine male and nine female lambs each from the Karagouniko (K), Chios (C) and East Friesland (F) breeds were weaned at a mean age of 50 days and were killed over a commercial range of live weight from 16 to 44 kg (carcass weights 6 to 22 kg).Carcass weight was linearly related to fasted live weight prior to slaughter (r = 0·994). There were significant but small differences between breeds in mean weight of lungs, pelt and internal fat. The carcass components of bone, muscle and fat tissues were related to carcass weight by linear or quadratic regression. Adjusted to mean carcass weight, the mean weight of bone did not differ between breeds (2·82 kg, s.e. = 0·056 at 12·8 kg carcass). The K and C lambs had significantly less muscle than the F lambs (6·77, 6·63 and 8·20 kg, respectively, s.e.d. = 0·094) and more fat (2·87, 2·95 and 1·29 kg, respectively, s.e.d. = 0·017) when compared at mean carcass weight. The breed differences were significant over the whole range whether compared at equal weight or at an equal proportion of estimated mature weight. At the same proportion of carcass fat, corresponding to the United Kingdom market average (250 g/kg) the calculated carcass weights were 16, 17 and 30 kg, respectively, for K, C and F lambs.It is concluded that the Friesland breed differs from many others in the proportions of muscle or fat at corresponding carcass weights but this difference is not a general characteristic of dairy sheep. Comparison of breeds at defined proportions of carcass components, as determined by market standards, can be effectively achieved by serial slaughter over a suitable weight range.

Svalbard is part of the Old Red Sandstone province with affinities in East Greenland, Norway, Appalachian North America and, of course, the British Isles where the Devonian Period was defined. This allows Devonian history in this region, controlled by Caledonian events, to form a neat and natural chapter, though not necessarily a global one. Old Red Sandstone environments in each area were already becoming established in Late Silurian time. Olaf Holtedahl was the prime author of both Caledonian tectogenesis in Svalbard and the Old Red Sandstone aftermath.Of the many and varied biotas of Svalbard the fossil fish have made remarkable and classic contributions to Spitsbergen geology.The earliest 'Old Red Sandstone' Spitsbergen strata have yet to yield evidence of age and so may be latest Silurian (Siktefjellet Group). But the earliest Devonian strata to be identified biostratigraphically begin with the Red Bay Group. Similarly the (major) Ny Friesland Orogeny and the various late orogenic granite emplacements, while initially Silurian, continued at least to cool in Devonian time. For convenience the orogenic events that may continue as early Devonian are treated in the Silurian chapter and the sedimentary events that may be Silurian are treated here.Devonian successions in Svalbard are known only from terranes which are postulated to have originated from the North East Greenland Province. No record has yet been established for Devonian strata in Svalbard either from the eastern terranes (East Greenland Province) or from the western terranes (North Greenland-Pearya Province). Moreover, the East Greenland succession lacks

The presence of high concentrations of branched-chain fatty acids in lamb fat results in soft discoloured tissue and objectionable flavours and odours. However, the factors regulating their synthesis and deposition are Incompletely understood. In some studies, but not others, excessive deposition is associated with high cereal diets. Their concentrations may be higher in rams than wethers and there is circumstantial evidence for differences between breeds. We have Investigated their concentration in ewe and ram lambs of three breeds: East Friesland, Oxford and Texel.Ten lambs of each breed and sex, born in March, were fed to appetite twice daily a concentrate (barley 683 g/kg, crude protein 170 g/kg DM ME 12.1 MJ/kg D.M) with hay available ad libitum. Animals were slaughtered together, by conventional procedures, at 27 weeks of age (± 4 days) and the hind loin was removed and dissected. The subcutaneous fat was analysed for fatty acid composition by capillary gas-liquid chromatography on Chrompack CP Sil 88 and CP wax 57 CB.

Full textAbstract:
Recent interest in the early-modern British composite state has neglected Hanover, despite evidence of frequent and informal co-operation between the countries in foreign affairs. This article explores one aspect of diplomacy with particular import for the British–Hanoverian union, British policy in North Africa, and finds a greater degree of integration in trade policy than has been hitherto recognized. Britain's government came to recognize and treat Hanoverians in Morocco as British subjects during the eighteenth century, a policy which was expanded to the rest of North Africa and elsewhere after the acquisition of the maritime state of East Friesland at the Congress of Vienna increased the Hanoverian government's commercial responsibilities beyond its ability to cope. British policy did not reflect a consensus, and it was criticized by some who regarded Hanover as an entirely foreign state beyond the purview of the British government. But British sponsorship of Hanoverian trade prevailed over such dissent until the union's end, so that Britain's experience of composite statehood lasted until 1837.

An experiment was carried out at the Glensaugh research station to investigate the effects of breeds of ewe, differing in mature body size on the utilisation of a long-established reseed maintained at sward heights of 3.5 and S.5 cm until weaning.The experimental area, dominated by Lolium perenne (40%), Poa spp (30%) with other grasses (10%) and weed species (20%), was divided into 12 plots each of 0.7 ha. When the mean sward height reached at least 3.5 cm in every plot (13.5.85) they were each stocked with 9 ewes + 15 lambs from one of 3 ewe genotypes (Border Leicester x Blackface, GF; East Friesland x Blackface, EFX; Cheviot x Shetland, SHX) in two replicates. All lambs were sired by Suffolk rams.Mean sward height, herbage mass and estimated herbage accumulation rate were measured weekly and ewes and lambs were weighed weekly. Sward heights were maintained on each plot by movement of an electric fence to vary the grazing area. The area behind the fence was maintained at an equal sward height by non-experimental ewes and lambs to permit movement in any direction. The lambs were approximately 6 weeks old at the beginning of the trial and were weaned after 13 weeks on the plots.

Full textAbstract:
There are many locally-named breeds in Greece, all of which are derived from Zackel or Tsigai types in various combinations. One of the most numerous is the Karagouniko, described as a medium-sized, hardy breed of Zackel origin, probably with some introduction of a fat-tail breed. A ewe in good body condition weighs about 60 kg. In most regions there is little consistent breeding policy except to improve milk production and fecundity of the local breed by crossbreeding to the semi-indigenous Chios or, less commonly, the imported East Friesland. The Chios is reputed to be derived from a Turkish fat-tail breed crossed with ingenous sheep of Zackel and/or Tsigai origin. Adult ewes in good condition weigh around 65 kg.The traditional marketing period for lambs is December to Easter and 80% are sold off milk at an age of 30 to 50 days and a carcase weight (including head) of 5 to 9 kg. Despite the highest, number of sheep per head of population in the EEC, some 16% of consumption is imported, usually in the 13 to 15 kg carcase range. The consumer discriminates against fat but there is no recognised standards of assessment or grading.

Full textAbstract:
Paleobiological studies of early metazoan evolution are critically dependent on the accurate stratigraphic subdivision and correlation of uppermost Proterozoic and Lower Cambrian sequences. Planktonic microfossils evolved rapidly during this period and are widely distributed and abundant in Vendian and Lower Cambrian rocks; therefore, they provide what is potentially one of the best means of correlating successions of this age. In Ny Friesland, Spitsbergen, tillite-bearing detrital rocks of the uppermost Proterozoic Polarisbreen Group are overlain without apparent unconformity by the Tokammane Formation, a tripartite lithologic sequence consisting of quartzarenites (Blårevbreen Member) overlain by dark shales with subordinate sandstone (Topiggane Member) and dolomites (Ditlovtoppen Member).Salterella, hyoliths, and other invertebrate remains occur in the upper part of the Tokammane succession; trace fossils are found in the Tokammane quartzarenites and shales, as well as in the uppermost few meters of the Polarisbreen sequence. Planktonic microfossils occur throughout the succession. They indicate that the Polarisbreen Group is Vendian in age and that a hiatus corresponding in time to the latest Vendian and (perhaps) earliest Cambrian coincides with the Polarisbreen/Tokammane boundary. Lower Topiggane shale samples contain acritarchs comparable to those found in the sub-HolmiaLontova Beds of Eastern Europe. Upper Topiggane samples contain diverse acritarch assemblages that indicate a lateHolmiaorProtolenusage, suggesting the presence of a second hiatus within the Tokammane Formation. Planktonic microfossils allow biostratigraphic correlation with other sequences both within (East Greenland) and between (East European Platform) paleocontinents. Like those from other areas, diversity trends exhibited by late Proterozoic and Early Cambrian acritarchs from Spitsbergen indicate a major Vendian episode of extinction followed by Early Cambrian rediversification of planktonic microfossils.

Full textAbstract:
The n-alkanes of grass outioular wax (odd-chain, C25- C25) can be used simultaneously with dosed n-alkanes (C28or C32) as markers for estimating the herbage intake of grazing sheep if the faecal recoveries of both herbage and dosed markers are the same. In adult sheep the accuracy of herbage intake estimation is not affected by the inclusion of concentrate in the diet as long as the intake and alkane concentrations of the concentrate are known. If, similarly, the ingestion of milk does not interfere with the relative absorption of dosed and herbage alkanes the herbage intake of suckling lambs at pasture could be estimated. To evaluate the potential of the technique in suckling lambs the faecal recoveries of odd-chain herbage n-alkanes and of dosed dotriacontane (C32) were determined in lambs offered eves’ milk and freshly cut herbage.From 2 weeks of age seven individually-housed male lambs received 1 kg/day homogenised ewes’ milk (166 g/day dry matter (DM)) in 4 feeds from an automatic feeder. The milk Has obtained by daily hand-milking of East Friesland ewes and was stored at -20° until used. Freshly cut perennial ryegrass was offered to the lambs ad libitum from the age of 4 weeks. A 6-day total collection of faeces was carried out when the lamba were 10 weeks of age.

Full textAbstract:
SummarySuckled single lambs, 6 weeks of age at slaughter, were used to study the melting point, iodine value, fatty acid composition and softness index of carcass fat. The lambs, born in mid-October in central Greece, were suckled from birth to slaughter and received no supplementary feed. They consisted of 43 Sarakatsaniko, 22 Karagouniko and 29 Chios x (East Friesland x Karagouniko). At slaughter, samples of subcutaneous fat from the base of the tail and perinephric fat were removed and stored at – 10 °C until analysed.Melting point and iodine value were determined by the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (1980) and International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (1977) methods of analysis. Gas-liquid chromatography, on 12% diethyleneglycol succinate as stationary phase, was used for fatty acid methyl esters analysis. Softness index was calculated.Component fatty acids in decreasing order of proportion in total fat were oleic, palmitic, stearic, myristic, palmitoleic, linoleic, linolenic, lauric and capric acids. The total of odd-numbered n-acids and branched chain acids occupied a position approximately mid-way. There was very little evidence of differences between the sexes. However, the differences between the two fat depots and those between breeds were significant in most of the traits. Significant correlations between some of the traits studied and also linear regression equations between selected variables were obtained.

Abstract Reduced irrigation (RI) can conserve water and control plant growth; however, the timing of RI applications can impact plant growth and flowering. The goal of this research was to quantify growth of Salvia nemorosa L. ‘Ostfrieland' (East Friesland) in response to RI. A soil-moisture sensor automated irrigation system was used to apply four irrigation treatments: RI and well-watered (WW) controls (20% and 38% substrate water content) and two combination treatments to apply RI for either the first two weeks (20% followed by 38%, RIWW ) or final four weeks (38% followed by 20%, WWRI ) of the six-week study. Flower number, height, compactness, and relative chlorophyll content (SPAD) were not different across treatments. Average flower stem length was greater for the WW and RIWW treatments than for the RI treatment. Shoot dry weight was less for the RI treatment compared to the WW and RIWW treatments, respectively]. Cumulative irrigation volume was lowest for the RI treatment and highest for the RIWW treatment. Visually, plants in the RIWW treatment had an open, floppy habit that would likely negatively impact sales in a retail setting. Plants in the RI treatment were smaller, but visually appealing. Index words: soil moisture sensor, plant production, herbaceous perennial, container plants. Species used in this study: ‘Ostfrieland' salvia (Salvia nemorosa L.).

Geological Magazine 135, no. 6 (November 1998): 755–68. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/s0016756898001757.
Full textAbstract:
The Lilljeborgfjellet Conglomerate Formation composes the lower part of the alluvial Siktefjellet Group of northwestern Spitsbergen's Old Red Sandstone succession. Siktefjellet strata are of late Silurian or early Devonian age, but lack precise age-diagnostic fossils. They are unconformably overlain by conglomerates and sandstones of the Red Bay Group, which contain a well established fish fauna of Lochkovian age. The Lilljeborgfjellet Conglomerate rests with a major unconformity on high-grade (with eclogites) schists and gneisses, with associated corona gabbros and granitic gneisses. Previous isotope-age studies have shown that these igneous rocks yield U/Pb ages of c. 950 Ma, and that the eclogite facies metamorphism may be of Caledonian or late Neoproterozoic age. The high P/high T rocks are intercalated with and overlain by schists affected only by Caledonian amphibolite facies metamorphism, recorded by 40Ar/39Ar and Rb/Sr cooling ages of 400–430 Ma.In the Lochkovian Red Bay Group of the Raudfjorden Graben, two horizons of tuffites occur, interbedded with sandstones. New studies of eight zircons from these volcanic rocks have provided single-zircon lead-evaporation ages of c. 950 and c. 1350 Ma; one yielded 440 Ma. All these zircons are probably derived from the underlying basement rocks, the ages being significantly older than the Devonian host strata (c. 410 Ma).The clasts in the Lilljeborgfjellet Conglomerate are generally angular to subrounded and derived locally from the underlying high-grade metamorphic complex. A subordinate (usually less than 1%, but up to about 10%) component of the clasts is a quartz porphyry that is not known in the exposed bedrock anywhere in northwestern Spitsbergen. The quartz porphyries are better rounded than the other clasts; however, the maximum diameter reaches 1.5 metres, indicating that transport distances are unlikely to have exceeded a few kilometres. Three quartz porphyry boulders have been dated by the single-zircon lead-evaporation method and shown to be of Palaeoproterozoic age, yielding ages of 1735±4, 1736±5 and 1739±5 Ma that have not previously been detected in the northwestern part of Svalbard's Caledonides.The quartz porphyry clasts show no evidence of the widespread high-grade tectonothermal activity of Mesoproterozoic and early Palaeozoic age that influenced northwestern Spitsbergen. It is therefore concluded that the most probable source of these clasts lies to the east in the unexposed basement beneath the Old Red Sandstones of the Andrèeland–Dicksonland Graben. The Lilljeborgfjellet quartz porphyry clasts are closely similar in age to the granitic rocks of Ny Friesland. Whereas the latter were subject to Caledonian high amphibolite facies metamorphism, the quartz porphyry clasts have only been affected by a low greenschist facies overprint. Nevertheless, the similarity in age suggests an affinity to Ny Friesland and it is proposed here that the Breibogen–Bockfjorden Fault defines the most important boundary between Svalbard's Caledonian terranes.

Abstract Background The ongoing community-based participatory research (CBPR) project is based on a representative cross-sectional study on health and well-being in a rural region of Germany (n = 655). Methods We use a wide array of participatory methods to involve the general public, politicians and experts such as conferences open to the public including the use of the Mentimeter app, e-participation via an online-forum, working groups on topics identified by the public, a Delphi survey elicit expert opinions and focus groups to get deeper knowledge on key aspects. Results The results confirm the interest the public has in understanding better scientific research in the field of public health. The diversity of people (most notably age, social background) is a challenge in reaching out to people. Presenting statistical data to non-experts requires the researchers to re-think ways of presenting data, therefore basic knowledge on data research has to be taught. Usage of the tools such as the Mentimeter app offers a low-threshold for empowering people to take part in participatory conferences. Conclusions Sustainability is of utmost importance for participatory research. The population not only has the need but deserves timely information on results. Key challenges are communication, building trust and implementing sustainable CBPR projects. CBPR helps in building mutual trust, knowledge and science - public co-operations. Conferences open to the public that are tailored to the public`s needs and competences show the great interest people have in scientific knowledge generated through population-based surveys. By participatory research, Public Health Science can contribute to society, empower the general public. Key messages There is an existing interest in CBPR by the general public. It can be assumed that promoting CBPR in a sustainable manner will increase that interest. The diversity of participants is a challenge as well as communicating scientific data to non-experts.

Abstract Background Relationship of wellbeing of adolescent and community determinants in rural areas are mainly unknown. The aims of this study is 1) to provide data on wellbeing of adolescents in a rural area, 2) to analyses the association of sociodemographic variables and satisfaction with their community with adolescents` wellbeing. Methods We conducted a representative cross-sectional study (June 2018 - May 2019) in a rural catchment area including adolescents aged 14-18 years. We included socio-demographics (age, gender, education status), and time spent with parents in our study. Additionally, we measured wellbeing with the Ryff wellbeing scale (42 Items) and satisfaction with the community with a self-developed scale (21 Items). Data were analysed with uni- and multivariate linear regression models. Results A total of n = 157 adolescents (n = 82 girls/n=73 boys, age mean=16.7 years) participated in this families health study. The majority (97%/n=152) lived with their parents, and 70% (n = 110) had siblings. Among them were n = 146 adolescents (93%) who are in school-based education, and n = 11 (7%) are under work training education. Overall, adolescents reported high well-being scores (mean=166.78, SD = 32.8, 95%CI=161.24-172.19) and high satisfaction with their community (mean=13.67, SD = 1.63, 95%CI=13.45-14.03). Surprisingly, adolescents loved to spend time with their parents. Multivariate analyses suggest no significant associations of age (p-value=0,565), gender (p-value=0.961), education status (p-value=0.271) with well-being. However, community satisfaction is associated with well-being (p-value=0,006). Conclusions Sociodemographic variables were not associated with adolescents' satisfaction but with well-being in this rural community. A potential explanation might be that adolescents rely on their families rather than the wider community. Further studies are necessary to investigate the role of family relations in explaining the high well-being of this population.

This article discusses the complicated question of the connection between Calvin and the confessions of the Presbyterian Reformed tradition. Firstly, a contrast is drawn to the question of the connection between Luther and the Lutheran confessions. It is noted that here a closed canon of Lutheran confessions exists, and Luther himself wrote three of the documents. On the other hand, there is no closed canon of Reformed confessions. However, there is a broad consensus concerning which Reformed confessions from the 16th century are classical. In this article a synopsis is provided of this list, and it is discovered that Calvin himself only wrote one of the classical Reformed confessional documents, although he influenced some others. The article then continues to discuss Calvin’s own contribution, his Catechism of 1542/1545. The historical context of writing in which this Catechism is sketched, its use in Geneva is described, and the outline of the Catechism is mentioned. The article continues to discuss why Calvin thought there was a need for a catechism, and why he wrote it in Latin and sent it to East Friesland. In conclusion the author explains why he has discussed Calvin’s Catechism, instead of focusing on the English Confession of 1556.
