Ge-Si ratio for assessing the chemical weathering intensity at the paleocene-eocene boundary in ancient transuralian Basin

© 2020 Tomsk Polytechnic University, Publishing House. All rights reserved. Relevance. Diatomites and their transitional differences formed in the Paleocene-Eocene marine basin are one of the most widespread in the near-surface occurrence of sedimentary rocks in the vast territory of the Trans-Urals. At the same time, with regard to the genetic aspects of such rocks, the discussion on the fundamental sources of silica for formation remains still relevant. An urgent task is to analyze the role of each of two factors in the origin of rocks - continental weathering and upwelling activities. The ratio of Ge to Si can potentially be considered as a tool for deciphering the source of silica in biogenic siliceous rocks, since germanium is delivered to the rock by incorporation into biogenic opal; Ge introduction into the rock from other sources during the diagenesis is not significant, which makes the results indicatively valuable. The main aim is estimation of the chemical weathering intensity at the boundary of the Paleocene and Eocene in the Trans-Urals based on the study of the ratio of Ge and Si in diatomites of different ages. The methods: field studies, X-ray fluorescence analysis, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy. The results. The paper contains the first results of estimation of chemical weathering intensity at the boundary of the Paleocene and Eocene in the Trans-Urals by analyzing the ratios of germanium and silicon in bulk diatomite samples and bioclastic preparations, where clay material was removed. The Ge/Si ratios in bioclastic preparations from the Paleocene (Brusyana section) and Eocene (Irbit deposit) differ almost twofold. The obtained values should be considered as mark that the intensity of chemical weathering undergoes serious changes at this boundary: intensive chemical weathering, strengthening of the hydrological cycle during the PETM period determined an increase in the supply of dissolved silica to the marine basin during the accumulation of biosiliceous rocks in the territory of modern Trans-Urals. The weakening of tectonic movements and land peneplenisation within the East Ural contributed to the weathering intensification. This provided an additional transfer of siliceous matter in the form of true and colloidal solutions to the sedimentation basin for the biosiliceous rocks accumulation. The amount of silica influx from land over a relatively short period of time became more noticeable in the overall balance of silica supplied to the sedimentation basin. For the same reason, i. e. the presence of an additional source of silicic acid, the gross SiO2 content in the Paleocene diatomites is slightly higher than in the Eocene

Active faults in the Eastern hemisphere.

The Project ‘‘World Map of Major Active Faults’’ was initiated in 1989 and was approved by the International Lithosphere Commission in 1990 under the chairmanship of Vladimir G. Trifonov (Russia) as Project II-2 of the International Lithosphere Program (ILP). The Project was supported by UNESCO as a contribution of the ILP to the UN International Decade of Natural Disaster Reduction. In 1991, the Project was separated for better management into two sub-projects including correspondingly representatives from the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. Dr. M.S. Machette (USGS, Denver, USA) was approved as a co-chairman for the Western Hemisphere sub-project. Because knowledge of location, parameters and contemporary behavior of active faults is important and even necessary not only for studying recent geodynamics and rock deformation, but also for estimating various natural hazards and especially seismic ones, the ILP Project II-2 was included in 1993 in the ILP Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program

The Dolmen Kolikho, Western Caucasus: Isotopic Investigation of Funeral Practice and Human Mobility

We investigated the dolmen known as Kolikho (Black Sea coast, Russia), discovered accidentally in 2008. It is a unique, undisturbed megalithic structure. The burial chamber contains disarticulated human remains from about 70 individuals. Radiocarbon dating shows that the dolmen was in use between roughly the 19th to 13th centuries BC. Strontium isotopes are used to investigate the origin and last residence location of the people buried in the structure.

Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of tris(pyrazolyl)methane lanthanide complexes: Effect of the anion on the slow relaxation of magnetization

We report on the synthesis, structure and investigation of magnetic properties of a series of six heteroleptic complexes of the general formula [Ln(Tpm)X3]·yMeCN (Tpm = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)methane; Ln = Tb, Dy, Er; X- = NO3 -, Cl- and y = 1 or 2). We demonstrate that the observation of a field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization is highly dependent on the anion's nature. While nitrate moieties appear to be suitable to stabilize the oblate electronic density of Dy3+, chloride ions generate an equatorial crystal-field allowing the slow relaxation of the prolate Er3+ ions. © 2018 The Royal Society of Chemistry

Electroencephalography in acute stroke [Elektroentsefalografiya v ostrom periode insul'ta]

OBJECTIVE: To determine the incidence of non-convulsive status epilepticus, epileptiform activity, rhythmic and periodic patterns in patients with acute stroke. MATERIAL AND METHOD: An analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) in 86 stroke patients in the neurointensive care unit of the tertiary medical center was performed. Criteria for starting EEG recording were epileptic seizures or clinical suspicion of uncontrolled epileptic status. The ictal-interictal continuum biomarkers and the diagnostic value of EEG for prediction of survival and recovery were assessed. RESULTS: Pathological changes on EEG were recorded in 84% of patients. These patients showed the absence of the dominant occipital rhythm (66%) and hemispheric slowing (42%). Diffuse slowing below the theta range was observed in 41% of patients. EEG reactivity was absent in 20%. Sporadic epileptiform discharges were recorded in 36% of patients and rhythmic and periodic patterns in 26%. Reliable predictors of the unfavorable outcome were the absence of dominant occipital rhythm, lack of reactivity, and low amplitude of the background EEG. No association between the recording of epileptiform activity and the probability of death was shown. CONCLUSION: The most useful EEG biomarkers for predicting survival are amplitude, dominant frequency of background EEG activity and reactivity to external stimulus. Sporadic epileptiform discharges, rhythmic, and periodic patterns are not mandatory associated with a negative prognosis in stroke patients.ЦЕЛЬ ИССЛЕДОВАНИЯ: Определить частоту бессудорожного эпилептического статуса (БСЭС), эпилептиформной активности, ритмичных и периодических паттернов у пациентов с острым нарушением мозгового кровообращения (ОНМК). МАТЕРИАЛ И МЕТОДЫ: Исследовали информативность ЭЭГ у 86 пациентов, госпитализированных в отделение реанимации и интенсивной терапии неврологического профиля медицинского центра третьего уровня с диагнозом ОНМК. Критерием начала регистрации были эпилептические приступы или клиническое предположение о БСЭС. Оценивали представленность биомаркеров иктально-интериктального континуума и диагностическую ценность ЭЭГ в отношении прогноза выживания и восстановления сознания. РЕЗУЛЬТАТЫ: Патологические изменения на ЭЭГ были зарегистрированы у 84% больных. Среди них преобладало отсутствие доминирующего затылочного ритма (ДЗР) (66% пациентов) и полушарное замедление (42%). Замедление фонового ритма ниже тета-диапазона мы отметили у 41% пациентов. Реактивность ЭЭГ отсутствовала у 20% больных. Отдельные эпилептиформные графоэлементы были зарегистрированы у 36% пациентов, а ритмичные и периодические паттерны были зарегистрированы у 26% пациентов. Достоверными предикторами неблагоприятного исхода были отсутствие ДЗР, ареактивность, снижение амплитуды и генерализованное замедление фоновой ЭЭГ ниже частот тета-диапазона. Наши данные не показали связи регистрации эпилептиформных графоэлементов и их ритмичных и периодических паттернов с повышением вероятности летального исхода. ЗАКЛЮЧЕНИЕ: Наиболее информативными показателями ЭЭГ для прогнозирования выживания и восстановления сознания являются амплитуда, доминирующая частота фоновой записи и реактивность в ответ на внешнюю стимуляцию. Регистрация спорадических эпилептиформных графоэлементов и ритмичных и периодических паттернов у больных ОНМК не всегда связана с неблагоприятным прогнозом его течения
