The paleoenvironmental impact of the early Aptian Ocean Anoxic Event 1a (OAE 1a, ca. 121 Ma) has been investigated in detail Cismon Core (Lombardy Basin, western Tethys) by using different geochemical and micropaleontological proxies. We provide first high-resolution data benthic foraminiferal assemblages through upper Barremian - lower stratigraphic interval. Benthic foraminifera are integrate...

We investigated the deep-sea sedimentary sequence of core MD012422 corresponding to last 350 ka (since marine isotopic stage, MIS 10) from off Shikoku Island, NW Pacific Ocean, and refined its tephrostratigraphy. detected many tephras cryptotephras correlated them with terrestrial on basis major- trace-element compositions their glass shards. Then we cross-checked our results against reported t...

IT WILL BE SEEN FROM THE ABOVE THAT WE HAVE STUDIED THE CONDITIONS ASSOCIATED WITH THE DEPOSIT OF CALCAREOUS SALTS: (I) in connection with normal and pathological ossification, and (2) in pathological calcification as exhibited in (a) atheroma of the vessels; (b) calcification of caseating tubercular lesions; (c) calcification of inflammatory new growth, and (d) degenerating tumors; and we have...

Lonicera confusa was a medical plant which could adapt to the Ca-rich environment in the karst area of China. The photosynthesis, relative chlorophyll content,differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and differentially expressed proteins (DEPs) of L. confusa that cultivated in calcareous and sandstone soils were investigated. The results showed that the relative chlorophyll content and net photosy...

In replicate series of experiments in natural seawater, one in full darkness and the other in a 1:1 diurnal cycle with as little as ~5% of natural solar illumination, sunlight promoted calcareous deposition on cathodic stainless steel surfaces. As exemplified by scanning electron microscopy, the deposit that formed under the natural diurnal cycle, in the presence of photosynthetic biofilms, was...

Re-excavation of the famous Mont-des-Récollets quarry in northern France and re-interpretation adjacent Cassel borehole have led to reconstruction one most complete Upper Ypresian Lutetian stratigraphic successions southern North Sea Basin. It includes entire suite formations members, from top Hyon Sand Formation (top NP12) base Maldegem (mid-NP15), originally defined central Belgium, extending...

PURPOSE To clarify the usefulness of multilayer amniotic membrane transplantation in an unusual case of calcareous corneal degeneration in a patient with graft-versus-host disease. METHODS A 20-year-old Caucasian woman had bilateral calcareous corneal degeneration of one year of evolution, secondary to graft-versus-host disease. Treatment for both eyes with topical steroids and antibiotic oin...
