    Description: This collection attempts to integrate work pertaining to a fundamental question in plant evolution: What are the molecular underpinnings for the origin of different plant forms? Among the many facets this question touches are the transition to land, the emergence of vascular plants, the origin of the seed and the origin and diversification of floral form. We aim to bring to the forefront the most salient and original plant systems and approaches within an inclusive phylogenetic context that encompasses representatives of the major lineages of land plants.

    Notes: This work combines two state-of-the-art techniques in the area of magnetic nondestructive evaluation: the application of the superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) as the magnetic field sensor; and the use of artificial neural networks as analysis tools applied to the detected magnetic signals. Pioneering measurements using the SQUID sensor have been made in steel samples containing various types of flaws, and a neural network system, based on the time-delay neural network and radial basis function algorithms, has been implemented to characterize the flaws. The neural network system aims to, based on the measured magnetic field, provide information about defect geometry, thus allowing the assessment of defect severity, as a basis for maintenance and repair procedures. © 2000 American Institute of Physics.

    Notes: Abstract We built a portable low-cost superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer to be used as the sensing element of an electric current injection NDE system. Using this system, we measured the magnetic fields associated with aluminum plate with single flaws in the millimeter range (2 to 8 mm), at lift-off distances up to ten times the size of the flaw, with injection currents in the order of a few amps. Because the system is at a relatively large distance from the test plate, the signal generated by the flaw is masked by the sinal generated by the edges of the plate. This is independent of the amount of current injected. Due to this, visual inspection is difficult when the distance from the sensor to the flaw exceeds five times its size. To intensify the magnetic field disturbance due to the flaws, we used digital image-enhancement techniques. Applying the enhancement algorithm, magnetic field disturbances were visualized at distances up to ten times the size of the flaw.

    Description: A Late Palaeozoic accretionary prism, formed at the southwestern margin of Gondwana from Early Carboniferous to Late Triassic, comprises the Coastal Accretionary Complex of central Chile (34º−41º S). This fossil accretionary system is made up of two parallel contemporaneous metamorphic belts: a high pressure/low temperature belt (HP/LT – Western Series) and a low pressure/high temperature belt (LP/HT – Eastern Series). However, the timing of deformation events associated with the growth of the accretionary prism (successive frontal accretion and basal underplating) and the development of the LP/HT metamorphism in the shallower levels of the wedge are not continuously observed along this paired metamorphic belt, suggesting the former existence of local perturbations in the subduction regime. In the Pichilemu region, a well-preserved segment of the paired metamorphic belt allows a first order correlation between the metamorphic and deformational evolution of the deep accreted slices of oceanic crust (blueschists and HP greenschists from the Western Series) and deformation at the shallower levels of the wedge (the Eastern Series). LP/HT mineral assemblages grew in response to arc-related granitic intrusions, and porphyroblasts constitute time markers recording the evolution of deformation within shallow wedge material. Integrated P−T−t−d analysis reveals that the LP/HT belt is formed between the stages of frontal accretion (D 1 ) and basal underplating of basic rocks (D 2 ) forming blueschists at c . 300 Ma. A timeline evolution relating the formation of blueschists and the formation and deformation of LP/HT mineral assemblages at shallower levels, combined with published geochronological/thermobarometric/geochemistry data suggests a cause−effect relation between the basal accretion of basic rocks and the deformation of the shallower LP/HT belt. The S 2 foliation that formed during basal accretion initiated near the base of the accretionary wedge at ~30 km depth at c . 308 Ma. Later, the S 2 foliation developed at c . 300 Ma and ~15 km depth shortly after the emplacement of the granitoids and formation of the (LP/HT) peak metamorphic mineral assemblages. This shallow deformation may reflect a perturbation in the long-term subduction dynamics (e.g. entrance of a seamount), which would in turn have contributed to the coeval exhumation of the nearby blueschists at c . 300 Ma. Finally, 40 Ar− 39 Ar cooling ages reveal that foliated HP/LT rocks were already at ~350 °C at c . 292 Ma, indicating a rapid cooling for this metamorphic system.

    Description: At present continental to global scale flood forecasting predicts at a point discharge, with little attention to detail and accuracy of local scale inundation predictions. Yet, inundation variables are of interest and all flood impacts are inherently local in nature. This paper proposes a large scale flood inundation ensemble forecasting model that uses best available data and modeling approaches in data scarce areas. The model was built for the Lower Zambezi River to demonstrate current flood inundation forecasting capabilities in large data-scarce regions. ECMWF ensemble forecast (ENS) data were used to force the VIC (Variable Infiltration Capacity) hydrological model, which simulated and routed daily flows to the input boundary locations of a 2-D hydrodynamic model. Efficient hydrodynamic modeling over large areas still requires model grid resolutions that are typically larger than the width of channels that play a key a role in flood wave propagation. We therefore employed a novel sub-grid channel scheme to describe the river network in detail whilst representing the floodplain at an appropriate scale. The modeling system was calibrated using channel water levels from satellite laser altimetry and then applied to predict the February 2007 Mozambique floods. Model evaluation showed that simulated flood edge cells were within a distance of between one and two model resolutions compared to an observed flood edge and inundation area agreement was on average 86%. Our study highlights that physically plausible parameter values and satisfactory performance can be achieved at spatial scales ranging from tens to several hundreds of thousands of km 2 and at model grid resolutions up to several km 2 .

    Description: Four-wave mixing (FWM) spectroscopy reveals clear signatures associated with the exciton, free carrier inter-band transitions, and the Urbach band tail in low-temperature-grown GaAs, providing a direct measure of the effective band gap as well as insight into the influence of disorder on the electronic structure. The ability to detect (and resolve) these contributions, in contrast to linear spectroscopy, is due to an enhanced sensitivity of FWM to the optical joint density of states and to many-body effects. Our experiments demonstrate the power of FWM for studying the near-band-edge optical properties and coherent carrier dynamics in low-temperature-grown semiconductors.

    Description: The timing and duration of spawning and maturation schedules of Chrysophrys auratus were determined for populations in one subtropical (~25°S on the upper west coast) and two temperate regions (~32°S on the lower west and ~35°S on the south coasts) over 〉2000 km of coastline along the west coast of Australia. This study thus encompassed the wide latitudinal range of this recreationally and commercially important sparid in this region. The results were used, in conjunction with previously published data, to explore traditional paradigms regarding the relationships between the reproductive characteristics and variations in water temperature. Spawning at each latitude occurred mainly at 19–21°C, but following a decline in temperature in the subtropical region and after a rise in temperature in the two temperate regions. Spawning on the upper west coast thus occurred between mid-autumn and early spring (~7 months) as opposed to late winter to early summer on the lower west coast (~6 months). Spawning on the south coast was mainly restricted to mid-spring to early summer (~2–3 months) in 2003 and 2004 and did not occur in 2005 when temperatures in this period were the coldest on record. Thus, marked interannual differences in the prevalence of mature fish on the south coast probably reflect the "marginality" of the population. The length ( L 50 ) and age ( A 50 ) at which C. auratus matured increased markedly from 25 to 32°S. Studies such as this allow for latitudinal variations in reproductive characteristics to be incorporated into population models to optimize fisheries sustainable yield, and contribute towards appropriate spatial scales for sustainable management strategies (e.g. minimum legal lengths consistent with latitudinal variation in length-based maturity schedules). The narrow temperature range over which this species spawns accounts for its current latitudinal distribution and enables predictions of how this distribution might alter with climate change. This study provides relevant information for management and climate change implications for similar subtropical and temperate marine teleosts.
