Abstract:

AbstractThis article discusses the definition of Ophite Gnosticism, its relationship to Sethian Gnosticism, and argues that Eugnostos, Soph. Jes. Chr., Orig. World, Hyp. Arch. and Ap. John not only have important links with each other but also draw essentially on the mythology the heresiologists called that of the Ophites. Before the Nag Hammadi findings, Ophite Gnosticism was often seen as an important and early form of Gnosticism, rooted in Jewish soil, and only secondarily Christianized. Today, not only are similar claims made of Sethian Gnosticism, but also some of the above-mentioned texts are classified as Sethian. In many recent studies, the Ophite mythology is connected with Sethian Gnosticism, even though the exact relationship between these two forms of Gnosticism has remained unclear. It is argued here that the Sethian Gnostic authors drew on earlier forms of Gnosticism, especially on the Ophite mythology, in composing some of the central Sethian texts.

Abstract:

The article discusses the meaning of chaos in the series of four elements introduced by Irenaeus in haer. 1, 30, 1 to characterize the system of the so-called “Ophites”. Contrary to the explanation that renders this Gnostic system dualistic, it is argued here that, in reality, the “Ophites” of Irenaeus anticipates what we find in other Gnostic families (Naassenes, On the Origin of the World, The Hypostasis of the Archonts) and continues the Orphic tradition that appeared in the Theogony of Jerome and Hellanicus, in which the eternal chaos had been domesticated with the Jewish monotheism of Genesis, and, according to which, this chaos would come to be something like a “hollow”, not eternal, which precedes the material world, shelters it and then favors the appearance of the corporeal. Its status as a Principle should always be understood in a derivative sense, with no obstacle to monism: the Primordial Light (Lumen primum), the only absolute principle, provokes the appearance of the region of the shadow (chaos), but it does so indirectly through the intermediate veil (Spiritus Sanctus). Nothing justifies speaking, therefore, of the “Ophite” system as an ontologically dualistic system.

Abstract:

A detailed surface survey of the gabbro quarry and related facilities in Wadis Umm Wikala and Semna indicates activity in the first to second or early third centuries AD. Surface pottery found associated with quarry faces, loading ramps, related huts, skopeloi, a putative temple, a main adminstrative building and nearby hydreuma attest to intensive operations here contemporary with periods of early exploitation of the larger quarries of Mons Claudianus and Mons Porphyrites farther north in the Eastern Desert. A lengthy Greek inscription of the early first century AD recovered here over a century ago records that the ancient name of the site was Ophites.

Abstract:

A new species of the genus Lycodon from the Gaoligong Mountains, Yunnan, China is described, Lycodon gongshan sp. nov. This species is similar to L. fasciatus, but differs in its longer tail, especially in males, and larger number of subcaudals, especially in females. The number of ventrals and maximum body size is greater in both sexes of the new species. From the Lycodon ruhstrati group, the new species differs in the colour of the belly and the dorsal bands. This new species seems to be endemic to Yunnan Province, People’s Republic of China. The holotype of Ophites fasciatus Anderson, 1879 appears to have been lost, so a neotype is designated in order to address the status of this taxon.

Abstract:

Introduction. The article is devoted to analyzing the specific type of Byzantine phylacteries (amulets), which are a vivid manifestation of folk beliefs that combine pagan, magical and Christian components. The author talks about the so-called “coils” – pendants with the image of a head with reptiles instead of hair or simply in combination with snakes. Many of them have a magical inscription mentioning “hysteria” (uterus), which can be understood as this particular organ, as well as various harmful entities. For this reason, there is a problem of correlation of the image and the magic inscription. But the article attempts to interpret the serpentine composition in the context of its functional purpose. Methods. In historiography, there are many opinions about what the images could represent on this type of monuments. At different times, researchers saw in the image of a head with snakes Medusa Gorgon, the dragon-Satan, Russian Aphrodite – goddess Lada, Abrasax, Sophia of Ophites, Moses’ brazen serpent, Eve and the devil, the seven-headed serpent and seven deadly sins, sisters-Likhoradkas, the dragon from the Apocalypse, the serpent of Aesculapius transformed into Satan. In addition, the composition was recognized as a “portrait” of the demon and his machinations elevated to the image of Khnubis and was considered the personification of the hysterical uterus itself. Analysis. In the article, the meaning of the serpentine composition is considered in the comparative analysis with other images on amulets. This is possible due to the presence of stereotypes and general principles in the construction of magical drawings applied to the amulets, as well as the general meaning that is associated with the functional purpose of the phylacteries. In different types of the images on amulets, semantic emphasis is placed on reproducing the desired action. For this, phylacteries were made and used, and magical texts, signs, images of saints, the Mother of God and even Christ himself were applied to the amulet. Results. The symbolism of the serpentine composition is revealed within the same sign system. The drawing combining a head (face) and wriggling snakes clearly represents the desired effect – the outcome, the flight of illnesses or the forces of the evil symbolized by reptiles from a person.

"The sapphirine-bearing rocks in contact with the Lherz peridotite body: New mineralogical data, age and interpretation." BSGF - Earth Sciences Bulletin 191 (2020): 5. http://dx.doi.org/10.1051/bsgf/2019015.

Full text

Abstract:

Sapphirine-bearing rocks are described in the Aulus Basin (Ariège, France) in a contact zone between the Lherz peridotitic body and Mesozoic metasediments which underwent the Pyrenean Cretaceous high-temperature, low-pressure metamorphic event (Monchoux, 1970, 1972a, 1972b). Sapphirine crystals occur in layered clastic deposits characterized by an uncommon suite of Al-Mg-rich minerals. A detailed petrographic study of sixteen samples representative of the diversity of the Lherz sapphirine-bearing rocks is presented. These rocks include breccias and microbreccias with various compositions. Some samples are composed of polymineralic clasts and isolated minerals that derive from regionally well-known protoliths such as ultramafic rocks, meta-ophites, “micaceous hornfels”, and very scarce Paleozoic basement rocks. Nevertheless, a large portion of the sapphirine-bearing clastic suite is composed of mono- and polymineralic debris that derive from unknown protolith(s). We define a "sapphirine-bearing mineral suite” (SBMS) composed of monomineralic debris including: sapphirine + enstatite + aluminous spinel + Mg-amphiboles + Ca-amphiboles + kornerupine + accessory minerals (apatite, diopside, rutile, serpentine, smectite, tourmaline, vermiculite and a white mica). We highlight the dominance of metamorphic Keuper clastic materials in the studied rocks and the presence of inclusions of anhydrite and F-, Cl-, Sr-rich apatite in minerals of the Al-Mg-rich suite. The brecciated texture and the presence of unequivocal sedimentary features suggest that the sapphirine-bearing rocks were mechanically disaggregated and then experienced winnowing in underwater conditions with poor mixing between the different sources. We measured U-Pb rutile age data in order to provide constraints on the age of (one of) the protolith(s) of those clastic deposits. The obtained age (98.6 + 1.2 Ma) is interpreted as the age of metamorphism of this protolith of the SBMS. Previous works interpreted the Lherz sapphirine-bearing rocks as crustal protoliths modified at depth along the contact with the ultramafic rocks of the Lherz body during their ascent towards shallower depths. These new data imply: (i) an Upper Triassic to Lower Jurassic origin for the main protolith of the sapphirine-bearing rocks; (ii) the metamorphism of this protolith along an active hot crust–mantle detachment during Cenomanian times with the involvement of metasomatic, brine-type fluids; and (iii) its brecciation during the exhumation of the material due to the evolution of the detachment, followed by subsequent sedimentary reworking of the metamorphic material.

Abstract:

France is a country composed of moderate seismic hazard regions but however vulnerable to earthquakes. Indeed, only a few parts of existing buildings have been built using paraseismic regulation. Several current large-scale seismic vulnerability assessment methods are used, as Hazus or Risk-UE, but they are inappropriate to the analysis of a specific building. In our case, we use an experimental approach to study the elastic behaviour of existing buildings: ambient vibration analyses seem to be an interesting way to determine the vulnerability. Ambient noise testing with Output-Only Modal Identification is a low-cost non-destructive method to provide vibration data from civil engineering structures like buildings. The interest of this method is to obtain dynamic parameters with only natural excitations: wind, traffic, human activity... In the frame of the “Plan séisme des Hautes-Pyrénées”, the building considered is the relatively regular 18-storey Ophite Tower located in Lourdes, France. The vibration measurements are conducted using a 24-channel system connected to an acquisition station. The modal parameters of this building (natural frequencies, modal shapes and damping) are calculated using the stochastic subspace identification method. These parameters, extracted from in situ data, are then used to calibrate a model. Having defined damage level criterion, the response motion, produced by seismic events, will lead to the determination of the vulnerability curves of Ophite Tower.

Abstract:

Dolerites dykes of 4.5 to 25 m wide extend from 200m to 1km, crosscut the GuÃ©bakÃ© granitoids basement in northern Cameroon along EW to N100E directions. Petrographic studies reveal the microlitic porphyritic texture to classical doleritic texture of ophitic to sub-ophitic types. GuÃ©bakÃ© dolerites are mainly composed in various proportions of skeletal plagioclase and feldspar, clinopyxene, amphibole and oxides crystals. ICP-MS and ICP-AES geochemical analyses have distiguished a lava series composed of trachybasalts, basaltic trachyandesites, trachyandesites, trachytes and rhyolites of continentale tholeiites affinity. Lavas have been differenciated trough fractional crystallization process coupled with crustal contamination and metasomatism. GuÃ©bakÃ© dolerites are products of relatively high partial melting rate of E-MORB mantle component. They stand as fingerprints of the post pan African crustal consolidation and precursor of the development of central African rift system at Cretaceous times.Â Â

Abstract:

The mythologies recorded by Irenaeus that he ascribes to the Gnostics contain many features that are difficult to explain by reference solely to Jewish sources, whether orthodox or heterodox. Previously, Douglas Parrott proposed an Egyptian background for the pattern of divinities found in the Gnostic textEugnostos. In this article, it is argued that the so-called Ophite mythology recorded by Irenaeus is earlier thanEugnostosand has more compelling parallels with Egyptian theogony. An Egyptian background for the Barbeloite mythology is also speculated. These parallels demonstrate that there is scope for further research into the Egyptian origins of Gnosticism.

Abstract:

Petrography and geochemical outline studied carried out on BÃ©rem dolerites have shown that they crosscut the local granitoÄ±ds of the basement toward N100-120, EW and N160E directions. Individual dyke may have 5 m to 50 m wide and extend along strike on 200 m to 3 km. Microscopic observations have distinguished the lavas of doleritic textures of ophitic to sub ophitic types. ICP-AES and ICP-MS geochemical analyses of representative samples have distinguished the lavas of basaltic trachyandesite of normative quartz-hypersthene compositions. All lavas belong to the same lavas series of continental tholeiites affinity which have undergone the fluids circulation and crustal contamination processes. Mantle of BÃ©rem dolerites should be E-MORB mantle component which have experienced the relatively high partial melting rate. BÃ©rem dolerites should be considered as imprints of late Pan African relaxation phase which cracks should have been filled by dolerite lavas.

O Pontal da Barra é uma área úmida localizada na praia do Laranjal, município de Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul, no setor sul da laguna dos Patos. A área é rica em biodiversidade, abrigando várias espécies endêmicas dos biomas Mata Atlântica e Pampa, bem como espécies ameaçadas de extinção. Neste estudo reportamos dados detalhados sobre a ocorrência e distribuição, no Pontal da Barra, de oito espécies de vertebrados ameaçados: três peixes, Austrolebias nigrofasciatus Costa & Cheffe, Austrolebias wolterstorffi (Ahl) e Gymnotus refúgio Giora & Malabarba; uma espécie microendêmica e recém-descrita de réptil, Ophiodes enso Entiauspe-Neto et al.; três aves, Circus cinereus Vieillot, Calidris subruficollis (Vieillot) e Xolmis dominicanus (Vieillot); e uma espécie de mamífero, Leopardus geoffroyi (d’Orbigny & Gervais). Essas espécies são ameaçadas em nível nacional ou estadual. Entretanto, duas espécies microendêmicas restritas ao Pontal da Barra e arredores, Austrolebias nigrofasciatus e Ophiodes enso, também se enquadram como ameaçadas globalmente de acordo com os critérios da IUCN (União Internacional para a Conservação da Natureza), embora ainda não tenham sido avaliadas por essa organização. Destacamos que a área abriga as maiores populações conhecidas dessas espécies, o que qualifica o Pontal da Barra como uma prioridade global de conservação. Esse fato, juntamente com a beleza cênica e a integridade ambiental local, justifica a criação de uma unidade de conservação na área.Abstract:Pontal da Barra is a wetland site located at Laranjal beach town, municipality of Pelotas, Rio Grande do Sul state, in the southern end of Patos lagoon.

In this paper we report detailed data on the occurrence and distribution of eight threatened vertebrate species at Pontal da Barra: three fishes, namely Austrolebias nigrofasciatus Costa & Cheffe, Austrolebias wolterstorffi (Ahl) and Gymnotus refugio Giora & Malabarba; a recently described microendemic species of reptile, Ophiodes enso Entiauspe-Neto et al.; three birds, namely Circus cinereus Vieillot, Calidris subruficollis (Vieillot) and Xolmis dominicanus (Vieillot); and a mammal species, namely Leopardus geoffroyi (d’Orbigny & Gervais). These species are threatened at national or state levels. However, two microendemic species restricted to Pontal da Barra and vicinity, namely Austrolebias nigrofasciatus and Ophiodes enso, also qualify as threatened at global level according to IUCN criteria, though both taxa have not been (yet) evaluated by IUCN Red List specialists. We highlight that the area harbor the largest known populations of these two species, thus qualifying as a global conservation priority. This fact, in conjunction with scenic beauty and environmental integrity, justify the creation of a conservation unit in the area.Key-words: Pontal da Barra, biodiversity; conservation; marshes; threatened species

Abstract:

AbstractOlivine-plagioclase corona textures occur in ophitic to sub-ophitic olivine gabbros at Black Hill, South Australia. Contrasting with many corona and symplectite textures previously described, these do not involve spinel or garnet as reaction products and did not form under high-pressure conditions. Rather, the coronas formed at no more than 1 kbar pressure and are composed of a shell of orthopyroxene around the olivine often succeeded by a shell of amphibole or occasionally biotite. Beyond this, a vermicular symplectite of anorthite containing orthopyroxene and rarer amphibole vermicules extends out to host plagioclase of labradorite composition. Textural relations are used to infer a subsolidus igneous origin for all but the orthopyroxene shell which may have formed in the presence of some magma. Compositional zonation is absent from all the constituent phases except the amphibole shell which is strongly zoned in Mg# and may have a late origin. An average maximum corona width of 150- 200 μm indicates a limiting distance for subsolidus chemical diffusion. The corona products involve the reactants olivine and plagioclase in the proportions 1:3 and symplectite formation may have been promoted by a Na potential gradient. The system must also have been open to minor components including H2O and TiO2, with H2O possibly being derived from a hydrothermal system. Such systems may have been set up in the country rocks on intrusion of the magma and subsequently collapsed inwards into the pluton during sub-solidus cooling.

AbstractSix species of ophids (Homoptera: Aphididae) are the most economically significant insect pests of wheat in Washington. Management technologies under development or in use in Washington emphasize biorational approaches, including development and use of resistance germplasm, manipulation of pest populations through cropping systems, and development of biological controls. We review wheat yield losses caused by aphids, their biological control, and the effects of conservation tillage and systemic seed treatment.

Abstract:

The lithological units outcropping in the study area, located in the Southeast Anatolian OrogenicBelt, one of the most important parts of the Alpine-Himalayan Orogenic Belt. The study area crops out ina local area within the Hısırık creek in the north of Sarıgül village of Baskil county, which is located in thewest of Elazig province in Southeast Turkey. Elazig Magmatics contains plutonic and sub-volcanic rocks,mainly felsic and mafic compositions. Plutonic rocks with felsic composition include granite, granodiorite,tonalite and quartz monzonites, while sub-volcanic rocks include aplite. Plutonic rocks with maficcomposition are represented by diorite, quartz diorite, gabbro and orbicular gabbro, and sub-volcanic rocksare represented by diabase and diorite porphyries. The orbicular gabbros, which are the subject of the study,macroscopically contain orbicles ranging in size from 1 cm to 15 cm, formed by repetitive concentric circlesof fine and coarse grains. All these orbicles consist of concentric circles that show magmatic textures bothin macro specimens and under the microscope. The orbicles contain olivine, pyroxene amphibole andplagioclase minerals. Olivines are characteristic of their yellow, orange and bluish interference colours andabundant cracked structures. Pyroxenes show one or two planes of cleavage and have high interferencecolours. Plagioclase inclusions point to magma mixing from the sub-ophitic and ophitic textures. Orbicularcircles were formed by the crystallization of basic magma in the form of a circular texture by conventionalrepetition as a result of adding a basic new magma that was later included in the magma chamber duringthe crystallization of basic magma. Mineralogical and petrographic features suggest that the orbiculargabbro is part of mafic igneous enclaves within intrusive mafic rocks.

Abstract:

The Poza de la Sal diapir is a closed circular depression with Cretaceous Mesozoic materials, formed by gypsum, Keuper clays, and a large extension of salt in the center with intercalations of ophite. The low seismic activity of the area, the reduced permeability and porosity of the salt caverns, and the proximity to the Páramo de Poza wind park, make it a suitable place for the construction of a facility for underground storage of green hydrogen obtained from surplus wind power. The design of a cavern for hydrogen storage at a depth of 1000 m takes into account the differences in stresses, temperatures, and confining pressures involved in the salt deformation process. During the 8 months of the injection phase, 23.0 GWh can be stored in the form of hydrogen obtained from the wind energy surplus, to be used later in the extraction phase. The injection and extraction ratio must be developed under the conditions of geomechanical safety of the cavity, so as to minimize the risks to the environment and people, by conditioning the gas pressure inside the cavity to remain within a given range.

Abstract:

There is an increasing interest in parasitic plants and infectious disease community ecology in intertropical regions. The study examined the floristic diversity of Loranthaceae family and their potential host species in the ecoregion of Diamare plain in Cameroon. Reasoned sampling method was performed and experimental device consisted of 02 main treatments (Diamare and Mayo-Kani divisions), 08 secondary treatments (councils) and 32 replications (villages), with four (04) villages per council. We used itinerary botanical survey method of 1000 m x 20 m in each village, totalizing 64 ha and all parasitic plants and their potential hosts were inventoried. A total of 11 645 ligneous individuals was inventoried in the Diamare division, distributed within 65 species, 44 genera, and 22 Families. In Mayo-Kani division, a total of 16 645 ligneous individuals were inventoried, distributed in 58 species, 41 genera and 19 families. There was a significant difference between the two divisions in terms of individuals (p < 0.001). In total, nine parasitic plants of the Loranthaceae family were inventoried, with five species identified at the level of species (55.55%) and four species at the level of genera (44.44%): Agelanthus dodoneifolius (DC.) Polh. and Wiens, Tapinanthus globiferus (A. Rich.) Van Tiegh., Tapinanthus oleifolus (JC. Wendl.) Danser; Tapinanthus voltensis Van Tiegh. ex Balle; Tapinanthus ophiodes (Sprague) Danser, Tapinanthus sp1., Tapinanthus sp2., Tapinanthus sp3. and Phragmanthera sp. Agelanthus dodoneifolius, Tapinanthus globiferus and T. ophiodes recorded a weak parasitic specificity (PSp = 81.39%; 72.09% and 30.23% respectively). Combretaceae and Mimosaceae families showed the greatest number of sensitive host species to Loranthaceae infestation (20.89% and 16.27% respectively). There was no significant difference between parasitic specificity of Loranthaceae and parasitic sensitivity of host species (p > 0.05), and both were positively correlated (r = 0.96). Efforts are required to control the development of Loranthaceae in sudano-sahelian zone especially in ecosystem plantations.Keywords: Floristic diversity, Loranthaceae, host species, Diamare plain, Cameroon

Abstract:

A Johnson-Sea-Link submersible was used to examine the geology of Superior Shoal in central Lake Superior. Here, glacially scoured, vertical cliffs, some more than 100 m high, are formed of 1.1 Ga middle Keweenawan basaltic lava flows displaying ophitic interiors and red amygdaloidal tops. Flat-lying sandstones, lithologically similar to the upper Keweenawan Bayfield–Jacobsville sequences, occur to the north of the volcanic rocks. These are inferred to have been downthrown along an eastward extension of the Isle Royale fault, a major boundary fault of the Midcontinent rift. The volcanic rocks are normally magnetized, supporting lithological evidence that they correlate with the middle Keweenawan sequence on Isle Royale. Paleomagnetic data suggest that the volcanics have a complex structure, possibly involving drag folding along the Isle Royale fault.

Abstract:

Energy consumption, because of population development, is progressively increasing. For this reason, new sources of energy are being developed, such as that produced from the combustion of biomass. However, this type of renewable energy has one main disadvantage, the production of waste. Biomass bottom ash is a residue of this industry that currently has not much use. For this reason, this research evaluates its use as a filler in bituminous mixtures, since this sector also has a significant impact on the environment, as it requires large quantities of raw materials. With this objective, first, the physical and chemical properties of biomass bottom ashes were evaluated, verifying their characteristics for their use as filler. Subsequently, bituminous mixtures were conformed with biomass bottom ash as filler, and their physical and mechanical properties were analyzed through particle loss and Marshall tests. The results of these tests were compared with those obtained with the same type of mixture but with conventional and ophite aggregates. This study confirmed that biomass bottom ash was viable for use as a filler, creating mixtures with a higher percentage of bitumen, better mechanical behavior, and similar physical properties. In short, more sustainable material for roads was obtained with waste currently condemned to landfill.

Full text

Abstract:

The Ammassalik mobile belt of South-East Greenland and the Archaean gneisses to the north and south are cut by abundant variably deformed and metamorphosed Proterozoic basic dykes. Undeformed and unaltered dolerite dykes in the southernmost part of the region retain fresh igneous subophitic textures and mineral assemblages, the pyroxenes of which preserve complex chemical variations with highly variable Ca, Mg and Fe contents. The ophitic pyroxenes in neighbouring dykes of supposed Tertiary age comprise more usual, compositionally uniform pigeonite-augite pairs. The contrast between these pyroxene assemblages probably resuIts largely from differences in the oxygen fugacity of their respective parental magmas. The investigated Proterozoic dykes have chemical and mineralogical similarities with dykes of the same general age in southern West Greenland and Scotland, and they pre-date the development of the Ammassalik mobile belt, rather than being directly related to it.

Abstract:

Abstract The following study of Epiphanius, Panarion 26 is divided into three parts. The first part argues that Epiphanius used a macro heresiological category, “Gnostics,” to combine what were in fact several different social formations in different areas with recognizably different practices. If we pay attention to practices, we can plausibly identify at least two groups in Egypt: the “Stratiotics” (with their distinctive agape ritual) and the “Phibionites” (with their distinctive ascent-descent ritual of 730 sex acts). The second part contends that, since Epiphanius shed light on several different social formations, we cannot assume they were all in one place, namely Alexandria. The third part, finally, offers an “annotated bibliography” of the texts used by “Stratiotics” and “Phibionites,” among others. It argues that the “Stratiotics” in particular used the Greater and Lesser Questions of Mary, which they may have in fact composed. In turn, “Phibionites” used the Birth of Mary and their own Gospel of Philip, though these works probably had a pre-“Phibionite” history. “Stratiotics” may also have modified received works such as Noria. Not all of these books said the same things, supported the same rites, and upheld the same ideology. The literature was diverse, making it difficult to fit “Stratiotic” and “Phibionite” theology neatly into any modern scholarly category (e.g., Sethian, Valentinian, or Ophite).

Abstract:

AbstractMetanorite dykes intrude the Banded Gneiss Complex at various places in Rajasthan, N.W. India. They show neither chilled margins nor gradational contacts with the country rock amphibolite or granulite facies gneisses. They have ophitic to subophitic texture with strongly zoned subcalcic clinopyroxene and orthopyroxene, olivine and plagioclase, with subsidiary biotite. During slow cooling a series of reaction coronas developed with garnet forming round biotite, ilmenite and orthopyroxene; hornblende round pyroxenes and orthopyroxene, hornblende ± spinel round olivine, which may be totally replaced. It is inferred that the dykes crystallised from a tholeiitic magma at about 1100-1150 °C and were intruded during the waning stages of granulite facies metamorphism. The corona minerals grew at about 650–700 °C. A series of reactions to account for the development of the coronas is proposed using measured mineral compositions. Although these reactions do not balance for individual corona formation, metamorphism was probably isochemical with Ca, Na, K, Ti, Si and H2O only mobile on the scale of a thin section. Si and H2O were possibly mobile on a larger scale.
