<p>Modelling results from PlioMIP2 (the Pliocene Model Intercomparison Project Phase 2) focussing on MIS KM5c; ~3.205Ma, suggest that global mean surface air temperature was 1.7 – 5.2 °C higher than the preindustrial.  This warming was amplified at the poles and over land.  The results are in reasonable agreement with paleodata over the ocean.   </p><p>Over the land the situation is more complicated.  Model and data are in very good agreement at lower latitudes, however at high latitudes an initial data-model comparison shows much warmer mPWP temperatures from data than from models.   </p><p>Here we consider possible reasons for this data-model discord at high latitudes.  These include uncertainties in model boundary conditions (such as CO<sub>2 </sub>and orbital forcing), and whether there are local site-specific conditions which need to be accounted for.  We also show that the seasonal cycle in mPWP temperatures at these high latitude sites has no modern analogue.  This could lead to inaccuracies when comparing model derived mean annual temperatures with quantitative climatic estimates from palaeobotanical data using Nearest Living Relative methods.</p>

Abstract The areal distribution of seismic ground-motion intensity in the city of Christchurch, New Zealand, during the 1994 Arthurs Pass Earthquake (ML 6.6) was evaluated using an intensity questionnaire together with local site amplifications inferred from seismic recordings and microtremors. In order to estimate the intensity in parts of the city where no intensity data were available, intensity data were compared to relative levels of shaking determined from both weak-motion and microtremor recordings. Weak ground-motion amplification factors were determined using ratios of ground accelerations at five sediment sites with respect to a rock site. Microtremor amplification factors were determined from horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratios at a 1-km spacing throughout the city. A positive correlation between weak-motion and microtremor amplification factors allowed extrapolation of microtremor amplification to estimated MM intensity (EMMI). EMMI ranged from 3 to 6 and was consistent with the questionnaire intensity and geological conditions and showed detailed information on the areal distribution of ground-motion intensity in the city.

We report the levels of coxsackievirus type A24 (CA24) and the levels and type of interferon produced early during naturally acquired picornavirus epidemic conjunctivitis. Virus levels ranging from 10(1.8) to 10(5.8) 50% tissue culture infective doses per ml were detected in 29 of 37 acute (collected 1 to 4 days after onset of conjunctivitis) tear samples. Interferon (10(1.5) to 10(3.3) U/ml) was detected in 12 of 29 tear samples collected on day 1, in 2 of 6 tear samples collected on day 2, and in 1 tear sample collected on day 3 after onset of conjunctivitis. The interferon activity in pooled tear samples was completely neutralized by antiserum against human fibroblast interferon, stable at pH 2.0, and active against different viruses. In addition, the interferon activity in tears, like human fibroblast and leukocyte interferons produced in vitro, protected human and rabbit, but not mouse, cells. This is the first report of production and identification of the antigenic type of interferon induced by an enterovirus during natural infection. The early appearance of fibroblast interferon suggests that it may be an important host defense at the local site of implantation against this and possibly other enterovirus infections.

PurposeThe purpose of this research is to reveal the gendered nature of social arrangements in order to bring to the surface the hidden discourses that mediate the opportunities of women leaders in the field of corporate social responsibility (CSR) and sustainability.Design/methodology/approachThe author uses critical sense-making (CSM) to analyze interviews with CSR leaders toward understanding the interconnected layers of influences they draw from as they make sense of their experiences.FindingsDespite the positioning of women as being untapped resources within CSR, the reality within CSR leadership indicates that resilient, stereotypical social constructions of gender are being (re)created. However, cues can disrupt the ongoing process of sense-making and create shocks that represent opportunities for resistance as discriminatory practices are revealed.Research limitations/implicationsApplying CSM as a methodology and to the field of CSR adds a component to CSR and gender scholarship that is currently missing. CSM as a methodology bridges broader sociocultural discourses and the local site of sense-making, making visible the structures and processes that enable some narratives to become legitimized by the formative context and protect the status quo.Social implicationsIf these leaders are able to use their discursive power to establish an alternate, dominant narrative throughout their organizations – a culture of emotional empathy within CSR – alternate meanings about the nature and purpose of CSR may emerge while highlighting the need for change.Originality/valueApplying CSM as a methodology and to the field of CSR adds a component to CSR and gender scholarship that is currently missing. CSM as a methodology bridges broader sociocultural discourses and the local site of sense-making, making visible the structures and processes that enable some narratives to become legitimized by the formative context and protect the status quo.

AbstractMeasurements of the ultrasonic attenuation and velocity have been made in solid electrolytes with fluorite structure, PbF2, BaF2, and CdF2, from room temperature to temperature at or above the diffuse solid electrolyte transition temperature, Tc. The ultrasonic attenuation peaks observed in this class of materials are associated only with the ionic conductivity saturation rather than in combination with crystallographic phase transition found in many other solid electrolytes. The relaxation rates and Arrhenius activation energies for anion motion above the transition temperature were obtained from the temperature dependence of the ultrasonic attenuation and the theory of local site fluctuations. The ultrasonic attenuation peaks observed for the first time in CdF2was used to define the diffuse transition temperature in this material. An Anomalous peak is also observed in the linear thermal expansion coefficient of PbF2.
