Abstract:
Several detailed observations, such as those carried out at the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT), have revealed prominent Low Surface Brightness (LSB) fine structures that lead to a change in the apparent morphology of galaxies. Previous photometry surveys have developed observational techniques which make use of the diffuse light detected in the external regions of galaxies. In these studies, the outer perturbations have been identified and classified. These include tidal tails, stellar streams, and shells. These structures serve as tracers for interacting events and merging events and r

Efficient degradation of plant cell walls by selected anaerobic bacteria is performed by large extracellular multienzyme complexes termed cellulosomes. The spatial arrangement within the cellulosome is organized by a protein called scaffoldin, which recruits the cellulolytic subunits through interactions between cohesin modules on the scaffoldin and dockerin modules on the enzymes. Although many structural studies of the individual components of cellulosomal scaffoldins have been performed, the role of interactions between individual cohesin modules and the flexible linker regions between them

Abstract:
The timescale structure of this book has served well to keep the attention of investigators focused on specific aspects of climate variability and ecosystem response. Indeed, judging by the responses received by the editors of this volume, when given a choice between focusing on one timescale or several timescales, the LTER community was far more comfortable dealing with just one scale. There are obvious reasons for this, not the least of which is that focusing on a single scale greatly simplifies things. The real world, however, does not focus on one timescale. Climatic events and ecosystem responses occur simultaneously at a variety of scales. We wished to explore the climatic variability and ecosystem responses at LTER sites across several different timescales, and the two chapters in this part attempt such an exploration. The chapters consider the temperate rainforest of the H. J. Andrews LTER site in Oregon and the tallgrass ecosystem of the Konza Prairie LTER in Kansas. For the Andrews rainforest, and to some extent the Pacific Northwest (PNW) in general, Greenland et al. (chapter 19) discuss climate variability and ecosystem response at the daily, multidecadal, and century to millennial scales. This discussion for the PNW is supplemented in chapters 6 and 13 of this volume by a consideration of the quasi-quintennial scale and an additional ecosystem response at the decadal scale. The forest ecosystem is more complex than the grassland ecosystem. Greenland et al. cover a wide variety of potential ecosystem responses for the PNW Forest, ranging from severe weather events, to pine cone production, to century- and millennial-scale forest fire frequency regimes and their variation. The focus of chapter 19 is on some of the framework questions of this volume. The questions specifically addressed include the following: What preexisting conditions affect the impact of the climatic event or episode? Is the climatic effect on the ecosystems direct or cascading? Does the system return to its original state? The authors also consider potential future climate change and its possible ecosystem effects. They found that timescale becomes important in addressing some of these questions. For example, at century to millennial timescales, it is suggested that there are likely to be no identical past analogs to the ecosystem at any point in time.

Abstract:
The five chapters of part III provide a broad overview of decadal-scale climate processes and their ecological effect in a variety of ecosystems. Written by authors with disciplinary backgrounds that encompass climatology, biometeorology, and ecology, the chapters range from cross-site climate analysis with little direct attention to ecosystem effects (e.g., McHugh and Goodin, chapter 11; Hayden and Hayden, chapter 14) to more intensive studies of direct climate/ecological interaction at single sites or over more defined geographical areas (e.g., Greenland, chapter 13; Juday et al., chapter 12; Milne et al., chapter 15). Separately, each of these chapters contributes to understanding some aspect of the interaction of climate and ecology. As an integrated whole, they encapsulate many of the cross-disciplinary problems confronted by LTER scientists as they explore the interaction of climate and ecology. Despite the widely varying topics addressed and the disparate backgrounds of the contributors, similar themes emerge in each of the chapters. Here, we elucidate these themes and place them within the framework questions that have guided this volume. Climatologists have long recognized the existence of cyclical or quasi-cyclical modes or patterns in the global circulation system. Typically, these patterns are characterized by variation in the strength or position of semipermanent pressure centers within the global circulation system. These variations occur at timescales ranging from seasonal to decadal, and such variability is frequently invoked as a causal mechanism for climatic trends or fluctuation at these various timescales. A variety of indexes have been constructed to characterize these pressure patterns and the teleconnections that result from them (see van Loon and Rogers 1978, Rogers 1984, and Trenberth and Hurrell 1994 for in-depth discussion of the derivation and interrelationships of atmospheric circulation indices). Evidence of some of these patterns recurs throughout each of the chapters, suggesting their importance in decadal-scale climate/ecology interactions at LTER sites. Although the chapters in this section concentrate on interdecadal variability, climate variability is a multiscale phenomenon in both space and time. Several authors acknowledge this, notably Milne et al. (chapter 15), McHugh and Goodin (chapter 11), and Greenland (chapter 13). Each of these chapters notes the importance of nondecadal variations, particularly the El Niño–Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon.

Abstract:
Geological time is much mentioned in the wine world. Many a label proclaims the geological age of the rocks and soils in which the vines were growing; many a vineyard description enthuses about just how old its bedrock is. The age may be expressed as a fine-sounding technical term or as a quantity, typically, some unimaginably large number of millions of years: “The area’s best vineyards are on Turonian soils”; “Cretaceous limestone is best for our vines”; “the wine’s secret is the Devonian slate”; “our Shiraz grows in soils 500 million years old.” It’s almost as though the older the geology can be made to appear, somehow the finer the wine. I must declare my own position in all this: surely the geological age of the bed­rock has little to do with viticulture? The age of the soil is certainly relevant, as it is continually changing on a human timescale, but these geological time words almost always are referring to the age of the vineyard bedrock. And almost invariably the age of the soil will be unrelated and vastly younger than the bedrock. Surely the vine doesn’t care, so to speak, how long ago the bedrock happened to form. Nevertheless, the fact is that geological time pervades wine literature, so this chapter explains how geologists work with the ages of rocks. The thinking is nicely explained by outlining how geological time was “discovered.” Modern geology began two or three centuries ago, essentially when it dawned that answers to questions about the physical world were better answered by going out and observing nature rather than poring over ancient scriptures. We saw in Chapter 1 how James Hutton peered into the “abyss of time.” Soon after, other founders of the science began to compare features preserved in rocks with processes they could see happening all around them, and they were able to establish rules (see the accompanying box) that enabled them to disentangle past geological time and to work out the geological history of a particular place. Using these kinds of principles, the early geologists were soon able to recognize past intervals of geological time and give them names.

Abstract:
The first five chapters have been devoted to reformulating a pre-institutional static theory of general equilibrium, into considering an economy in terms of process where markets and other institutions exist embedded within and interacting on different timescales with the polity and society. This embedding of the economy within the framework of government and society provides both a natural formal and informal control system. The government provides the formal rules with the laws and their enforcement and the society and polity on different timescales provide the pressure on the government for rule formation and the direct pressures on the economy to conform to custom as well as law. The price system where it exists provides a perception device where the pressures of disequilibrium are signalled by the shadow prices that develop both on the price of commodities and on loans and other financial instruments. We deal here with the production and exchange economy in a process setting.

Increasing enrollment and costs in introductory geoscience classes are making the logistics of organizing on-location field trips challenging; but with modern technology, virtual field trips (VFTs) can provide a proxy. Students entering college today are digital natives with short attention spans, suggesting they would find a VFT appealing and easy to navigate. While not a replacement for an actual field trip, VTFs offer interactive alternatives to traditional lectures, and several have been successful in engaging and educating students. This proposed VFT utilizes the iconic geology of Yosemite National Park to teach the effects of climate change at geologic and anthropogenic timescales. The story is told along Yosemite's four roads and is designed for use as a roadside geology accompaniment in the park, or as a standalone interactive tool in the classroom. VFT stops narrate the geologic history of the area and use photos with illustrated overlays to further describe concepts.

Abstract:
Unlike the other factors that have been invoked to account for mass extinctions, climate change is manifest to us all, whether we travel from the tropics to the poles or experience the seasonal cycle. Over a longer timescale, the issue of global warming in the recent past and likely future, and its probable consequences for other aspects of the environment, has occupied a considerable amount of media attention. Those people who are unaware of the likely consequences of the burning of fossil fuels cannot count themselves as well educated. Over a longer timescale, geologists have been aware for many decades of significant climatic changes on a global scale leading to the appearance and disappearance of polar ice caps on a number of occasions. Steve Stanley, the distinguished palaeobiologist at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, has actively promoted the view that episodes of climatic cooling are the most likely cause of mass extinctions. However, we must consider also the significance of global warming, and for the continents, at any rate, the possible effects of changes in the humidity–aridity spectrum. Before examining the relationships between climatic change and mass extinctions we need to examine the criteria from the stratigraphic record that geologists use to determine ancient climates, or palaeo-climates. The most obvious way of detecting cold conditions in the past is to find evidence of the presence of ice. At the present day the sedimentary deposits associated with glaciers and ice sheets, which occur where melting ice dumps its rock load, range in grain size from boulders and pebbles to finely ground rock flour. Such deposits are known as boulder clay or till, and ancient examples consolidated into resistant rock as tillites. The surfaces of hard rock that have underlain substantial ice sheets bear characteristic linear striations indicating the former direction of ice movement, such as glaciers moving up or down a U-shaped valley. The striations are produced by pebbles embedded in the ice, and are a unique marker for glacial action. In the 1830s Louis Agassiz, the great Swiss naturalist, extrapolated from his knowledge of the margins of Alpine glaciers to propose that the whole of northern Europe had been covered by one or more ice sheets in the recent geological past.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter develops the tensions inherent in Synge’s early works towards an understanding of his formal innovation, asserting the ‘time pressure’ of his one-act plays as a dimension of his response to modernity. Synge’s drafts for various articles, particularly ‘The Old and New in Ireland’, and an article on social change in Wicklow, combine with his notes on Herbert Spencer and evolutionary theory to show a writer deeply conscious of modernization and literature’s responsiveness to modernity. Contributing to and drawing on new work on the spatial and temporal dimensions of modernism, this chapter shows that the structures and plots and Synge’s one-act plays Riders to the Sea and The Shadow of the Glen are rooted in a battle of temporalities. By comparing the timescales of Synge’s one-act plays to those of his Revivalist contemporaries, this chapter shows that his reading in sociology, philosophy, and evolutionary science, alongside his experiences in the modernizing ‘Congested Districts’ of Ireland, fundamentally affected his literary output. Fractured communal relations are figured as fractures in the time frames of the drama, and the overlapping of temporalities and levels of modernization find their correlatives in the constant and unresolved competition for dominance from any one conception of time. These plays, far from being isolated from the concerns of modernization, or from reverting to a solely romanticized vision of the peasantry, in fact register a sense of formal instability as a result of their fraught and multiple conceptions of time and space.

Abstract:
When temporally smoothed data are used for the period 1925 to 1985 there is a close inverse statistical relationship acting at an interdecadal timescale between the Pacific Northwest (PNW) air temperatures and Coho salmon catch off the coast of Washington and Oregon. This relationship is now well known, although not fully explained, but at the time of its discovery in 1994 it was part of advances being made by several research groups on interdecadal-scale climate/ecological changes in the PNW (Greenland 1995). The discovery and later, related findings may be usefully examined within the context of the framework questions of this book (see chapter 1) because it provides a very interesting example of climate variability and ecosystem response found, in part, by Long-Term Ecological Research (LTER) investigators. The logical progression for this chapter is first to review a little of the relationship between Coho salmon and climate and then to explain how a study at one LTER site led to a finding with regional implications. An update of the findings at interdecadal-scale climate/ecological changes in the PNW is then appropriate, followed by a discussion of the topic with the framework questions of this book. The PNW is defined, for the purposes of this chapter, as the area of Washington and Oregon west of the crest of the Cascade Range. The term decadal is used loosely in this chapter to refer to changes that focus on time periods of about 10 to 30 years in length. Salmon live part of their lives in terrestrial, freshwater environments and part in marine, saltwater environments. The salmon life history starts with fertilized eggs remaining in gravel in freshwater stream beds and hatching after 1–3 months. One to five months later, fry emerge in the spring or summer. Juvenile fish are in freshwater from a few days to 4 years, depending on species and locality. After the juveniles change to smolts, they can migrate to the ocean, usually in spring or early summer, often taking advantage of streamflows driven by snowmelt. The fish spend 1–4 years in the ocean and then return to their freshwater home stream to spawn and die. More specifically, the typical life cycle for Oregon Coho spans 3 years (18 months in freshwater and 18 months in the ocean).

SPH is capable of modeling viscous and inertial effects for these impacts for short times. We have also identified our fire code Lagrangian/Eulerian (L/E) p

Abstract:
Failures of natural gas transmission pipelines have occasionally occurred around the world. Ignited releases from ruptured high-pressure transmission pipelines produce a highly transient thermal radiation field in the initial stages, as described in papers presented at IPC previously. In the context of risk assessment, modeling the effects of fires on buildings is as important as modeling the thermal radiation field. A simplistic approach may not be appropriate, particularly when there is a significant difference in thermal radiation levels between the nearest and the furthest points of the bu

Abstract:
Optical storage capacity in devices such as DVDs is fundamentally restricted by the diffraction limit of light. We present an optofluidic approach which exploits nanofluidic manipulation of quantum dot cocktails to achieve spectrally multiplexed data storage in a traditional planar format. Quantum dot cocktails are delivered to the vicinity of a nanowell through pressure driven flow and are subsequently trapped and stored electrokinetically. Once in the nanowells, they are excited with a blue light source and their discrete spectrographic signal is captured through a fiber spectrometer. Data e

Abstract:
The UK has significant quantities of radioactive waste, which have arisen over the past fifty years or so, largely as a result of nuclear power, reprocessing and defence programmes. The intermediate level wastes arising as a result of these activities, exhibit a high level of physical and chemical diversity, and must be managed safely in a way that protects existing and future generations and the environment. Development work has been conducted since the early 1980s to identify suitable conditioning materials and techniques that are compatible with the needs of safe long-term management, inclu
