Structural parameters and pressure coefficients for CdS xTe 1-x : FP-LAPW calculations
The structural parameters and hydrostatic pressure coefficients of CdS xTe 1-x in the two phases, namely zinc-blende and NaCl as well as the transition pressures from zinc-blende to NaCl structures at various S concentrations are presented. The calculations are performed using the full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FP-LAPW) method within the density functional theory (DFT) in the local density approximation (LDA), and two developed refinements, namely the generalized gradient approximation (GGA) of Perdew et al. for the structural properties and Engel-Vosko for the band structure calculations. Detailed comparisons are made with published experimental and theoretical data and show generally good agreement. The present results regarding the studied quantities for compositions x in the 0–1 range (0 > x > 1) and for the NaCl phase are predictions and may serve as a reference for experimental work.

Maping seafloor features and benthic habitats in mud volcanoes of the Moroccan margin of the Gulf of Cádiz using ROV underwater images
In March 2014, the Spanish R/V Sarmiento de Gamboa equipped with the Portuguese multi-operational Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) "Luso 6000" explored and sampled five mud volcanoes of the Gulf of Cádiz during SUBVENT2 expedition. The explored mud volcanoes were Mercator, Yuma, Algacel, Mvseis and Madrid located offshore Moroccan Atlantic margin at water depths between 350 and 1650 meters. In addition, bathymetric data were acquired using the Atlas Hydrosweep DS multibeam echo-sounder and were processed with CARIS HIPS & SIPS yielding a bathymetric grid resolution of 15 m. The characterization of habitats and associated biota was based on high resolution videos and captured photographic material with MAGIX software as well as samples collected with the ROV. The observation was done during scanning the sea floor by TV camera at the altitude of 1-5 meters above the seafloor at low velocity of approximately 0.2-0.5m/s. Digital data analyses and their cartographical representation were performed with ArcMap 10.3.1 and Fledermaus.
Underwater images allowed to characterize the occurrence of cold seeps with different seafloor micro-features, habitats and associated biota. Chemosynthetic bacterial communities, mainly occurring as bacterial mats (e.g., sulfate-oxidizing cf. Beggiatoa sp.), were detected, sampled and related to active bubbling seeps in pockmark-like depressions of different sizes. Sediment mounds and authigenic carbonates of different sizes (0.1-5 m length) were also detected in vent sites. Six different species of chemosymbiotic bivalves, including Lucinoma asapheus, Acharax gadirae, Solemya elarraichensis, Thyasira vulcoluatre, Isorropodon megadesmus and the deep water mussel Bathymodiulus mauritanicus displayed populations in the studied mud volcanoes. Hard bottoms with exhumated carbonate slabs seem to display a wider biodiversity and complexity, including large size sponges (e.g. Geodia, Phakellia), scleractinians (e.g. Caryophillia, Corallium, Madrepora), gorgonians (e.g. Bebryce, Chelidonisis) and antipatharians (e.g. Stichopathes) as well as different mobile associated species.. Habitat types of these mud volcanoes may be influenced by different oceanographic, sedimentation and venting processes resulting then in a broad biodiversity.SUBVENT project (CGL2012-39524-C02, MINECO, Spain), ATLAS project (EU, Horizon 2020) and EMEPC (Portugal
