Central equatorial Paciic sea surface temperature (SST) anomaly is a critical predictor of basin-wide oceanographic and atmospheric eeects of the El Ni~ no-Southern Oscillation (ENSO) phenomenon. We employ two geochemical thermometers measured on coralline aragonite to reconstruct an independent proxy-based measure of central equatorial Paciic sea surface temperature anomaly. In addition, we as...

The exact operator solutions of two-dimensional anomaly-free chiral abelian gauge theories are obtained. We show that anomalycancellation conditions arise as consistency requirements of these solutions. For a certain class of flavour symmetries, fermion condensates are constructed. These are shown to violate the fermion-number conservation rule. The models are extended to include massive fermio...

An expression for the lattice eeective action induced by chiral fermions in any even dimensions in terms of an overlap of two states is shown to have promising properties in two dimensions: The correct abelian anomaly is reproduced and instantons are suppressed.

The study of regional variations and the anthropogenic contamination by metals of soils is very important for environmental planning and monitoring in urban areas. An extensive survey was conducted in the highly urbanized Kowloon area (46.9 km(2)) of Hong Kong, using a systematic sampling strategy with a sampling density of 3-5 composite soil samples (0-15 cm) per km(2). Geochemical maps of 'to...

2755. [19] Wieczorek, M. A. et al. (2013) Science 339, 671-675. Figure 1: Locations of floor-fractured craters [2] plotted on a basemap of crustal thickness [19]. Floor-fractured craters are preferentially located in regions of intermediate (20-30 km) crustal thickness. Mare deposits are located primarily on the lunar nearside and in regions of thinner crust. Figure 2: Crater Buch B (17.0°E, 39...

The Azores archipelago is a classic expression of a hotspot that has interacted with a mid-ocean ridge. A variety of geochemical studies and geophysical observations point to the influence of some sort of mantle plume on the formation of the Azores Plateau and the adjacent Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR), but the mantle structure beneath the Azores has not heretofore been imaged tomographically at a s...
