The taxonomic richness and geographic distribution of sponges stranded along Sardinian shores were investigated in the long term by means of a revisited ancient sampling method in order to support a comprehensive species inventory. Almost all stranded species were Keratosa (n = 20), plus 6 species of other Demospongiae taxa. Dictyoceratida were dominant, with 6 genera and 19 species of the families Irciniidae, Spongiidae and Thorectidae: 9 Mediterranean endemics, 7 Atlanto‐Mediterranean and 3 widespread species. Regarding Dendroceratida, only the genus Spongionella was found. Some species (n = 8) were recorded for the first time in circum‐Sardinian seas. A high percentage (54.3%; 19 out of the 35 species) of the total Mediterranean Dictyoceratida fauna was recorded, including the most endangered Mediterranean species, that is of the genera Spongia and Hippospongia. Hippospongia communis, Ircinia variabilis, Spongia zimocca and Spongia officinalis were the most common species. Morphotraits of rare and/or poorly known species were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Comparison among Sardinian sectors, and between Sardinian and adjacent seas, revealed a high similarity of stranded Dictyoceratida, despite the fact that the data from Tyrrhenian and Balearic–Catalan seas were collected mainly from SCUBA records. The cost‐effective sampling method used in the present study seems appropriate to the gross qualitative monitoring of coastal areas (e.g. large unexplored Northern African coasts), in order to assess the conservation status of Mediterranean Keratosa species. The wide distribution of all Mediterranean bath sponge species indicates their good conservation status in circum‐Sardinian seas, a datum that could usefully support the future management of this bioresource, particularly in protected areas. 相似文献

We make use of the first high-resolution hydrodynamic simulations of structure formation which self-consistently follows the build-up of supermassive black holes (BHs) introduced in Di Matteo et al. to investigate the relation between BHs, host halo and large-scale environment. There are well-defined relations between halo and BH masses and between the activities of galactic nuclei and halo masses at low redshifts. A large fraction of BHs forms anti-hierarchically, with a higher ratio of BH to halo mass at high than at low redshifts. At z = 1 , we predict group environments (regions of enhanced local density) to contain the highest mass and most active (albeit with a large scatter) BHs while the rest of the BH population to be spread over all densities from groups to filaments and voids. Density dependencies are more pronounced at high rather than low redshift. These results are consistent with the idea that gas rich mergers are likely the main regulator of quasar activity. We find star formation to be a somewhat stronger and tighter function of local density than BH activity, indicating some difference in the triggering of the latter versus the former. There exist a large number of low-mass BHs, growing slowly predominantly through accretion, which extends all the way into the most underdense regions, that is, in voids. 相似文献

A single-crystal of composition CaNiSi2O6 (space group C2/c) was investigated at high pressure up to about 7.8 GPa by X-ray diffraction. The unit-cell parameters were measured at 18 different pressures. The P-V data were fitted by a third-order Birch-Murnaghan equation of state V0=435.21(1) Å3, K 0=117.6(3) GPa and K=6.4(1). The linear axial compressibilities a, b, c and a sin are 2.14(1), 3.00(1), 2.43(1) and 1.63(1) × 10–3 GPa–1. Comparing the compressibility data with other CaM1Si2O6 pyroxenes we suggest that the empirical K × V = constant relationships are followed in C2/c pyroxenes only if the same valence electron character is shared. 相似文献

The high temperature volume and axial parameters for six C2/c clinopyroxenes along the NaAlSi2O6–NaFe3+Si2O6 and NaAlSi2O6–CaFe2+Si2O6 joins were determined from room T up to 800°C, using integrated diffraction profiles from in situ high temperature single crystal data collections. The thermal
expansion coefficient was determined by fitting the experimental data according to the relation: ln(V/V
0) = α(T − T
0). The thermal expansion coefficient increases by about 15% along the jadeite–hedenbergite join, whereas it is almost constant
between jadeite and aegirine. The increase is related to the Ca for Na substitution into the M2 site; the same behaviour was
observed along the jadeite–diopside solid solution, which presents the same substitution at the M2 site. Strain tensor analysis
shows that the major deformation with temperature occurs in all samples along the b axis; on the (010) plane the higher deformation occurs in jadeite and aegirine at a direction almost normal to the tetrahedral–octahedral
planes, and in hedenbergite along the projection of the longer M2–O bonds. The orientation of the strain ellipsoid with temperature
in hedenbergite is close to that observed with pressure in pyroxenes. Along the jadeite–aegirine join instead the high-temperature
and high-pressure strain are differently oriented. 相似文献

Rainfall, infiltration, and groundwater flow in a terraced slope of Valtellina (Northern Italy): field data and modelling 总被引：4，自引：2，他引：2
The aim of this work was to understand and reproduce the hydrological dynamics of a slope that is terraced by dry retaining
walls. This approach will help to assess the influence of temporary groundwater perched tables, which can form at the area
of contact between the backfill of the wall and the bedrock, on the wall’s stability. The study area is located in Valtellina
(Northern Italy) near the village of Tresenda, which was affected by three debris flows that caused 18 casualties in 1983.
In 2002, another event of the same type affected this area, but that event only caused the interruption of a major transport
road. Direct observations of one of the three flows in 1983 and the reconstruction of 2002 indicated that the most probable
triggering cause was the collapse of a dry retaining wall after its backfill was saturated. After field work was conducted
to discover the principal hydrological and hydrogeological characteristics of the slope, numerical modelling was performed
to determine under what conditions the soil will saturate, and therefore, when the collapse of a dry retaining wall might
occur. First, a study of the interaction between pluviometric events and groundwater behaviour was conducted; then, modelling
was performed using finite element analysis software that permits the calculation of groundwater flow both for completely
and partially saturated conditions. The model was calibrated and validated using the hydrographs of the groundwater table
recorded on site. It can be used as a predictive instrument for rainfall events of a given duration and return period. 相似文献

We discuss the physics of the power source for gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). There is a great variety of stellar systems proposed
as progenitors of long and short GRBs, but any current model for the engine ultimately involves the formation of a hyper-accreting
disk around a newly-formed black hole of a few solar masses. The study of such disks can shed light onto the burst composition
and energy content. We present preliminary results from disk vertical structure calculations. These include neutrino transport,
a height-dependent determination of the nuclear composition, and a simplified treatment of turbulent mixing. We find that
vertical mixing is rapid enough to largely erase compositional gradients, and as a consequence the upper layers of the disk
reflect the neutron-rich composition of the midplane close to the black hole. We review the implications of this for the nuclear
composition of outflows in GRBs. Our models suggest an increasing role for pairs in the upper regions of the disk, and we
speculate that a pair-driven wind could be a significant source of cooling.
