Anthraconaiasp. occurs in the thin nonmarine interval that lies between the Upper Millersburg Coal Member and the Lower Millersburg Coal Member (Pennsylvanian, Desmoinesian) in Warrick County, Indiana. Specimens ofAnthraconaiasp. resembleAnthraconaiathat occur in Pennsylvanian and Permian rocks of the Appalachian Basin, but they differ slightly in size, form ratios, or both. Specimens were found in massive, nonfissile gray mudstone; buff-colored, laminated limestone (ostracodal biomicrite, wackestone); and platy black shale. The only statistically significant variation between shells from these different lithologies is that shells recovered from the limestone tend to be more ovate than shells from the other two lithologies. This contradicts the findings of previous investigations in which more ovateAnthraconaiawere found in the more organic-rich sediments of a given stratigraphic sequence. This difference is probably caused by the lack of discernible change in energy level through the depositional history of the interval and suggests that changing energy levels may be more important to the control of the morphology ofAnthraconaiathan the level of organic carbon in the sediment.

Rats of 3 strains were fed diets of natural ingredients in 4 different laboratories. The diets contained different levels of protein and energy within ranges comparable to those found in existing laboratory diets. Energy level over the range examined appeared to exert greatest influence on bodyweight gain, but had no effect on food intake. The diet with the highest amino acid content was consumed in smaller amounts than the other diets. Food utilization was less efficient in the lower energy diets. Fat deposition was reduced in animals fed the lowest energy diet. It is concluded that energy level of the diet exerts an effect on the rate of bodyweight gain in rats, but that for longer-term studies a reduced energy level may be beneficial by leading to smaller fat deposits with consequent increase in longevity.

Recently, game-theoretical methods have been adopted to analyze the reasonability of usability distribution mechanisms. On the other hand, sustainability has become a major conception among many fields by focusing on various influences that arose from environmental change, including usability distribution under multi-attribute sports management schemes. In many real-world situations, however, performers and its energy levels (strategies) should be essential factors simultaneously. Based on maximal-usability among energy level (strategy) vectors, we define an output, its efficacious extension and normalization to analyze usability distribution mechanisms under multi-attribute sports management schemes. We also adopt axiomatic processes to present the reasonability for these outputs. By considering reduced scheme and excess mapping, we adopt alternative formulation to offer dynamic processes for the efficacious extension and the normalization, respectively.

The Triassic deposits of the Danish territory are mapped, described and characterized by means of wire line log motifs. Three facies provinces are recognized: A southern and central Germano-type Facies Province, a Northern Marginal Facies Province fringing the basin center, and a Central Graben Facies Province with affinities to the Southern North Sea Basin. The traditional German lithostratigraphic nomenclature previously used in the Germano-type Facies Province is proposed replaced by a system composed of four groups each of two formations corresponding to four Triassic megaphases of sedimentation: Bacton Group including Bunter Shale Formation and Bunter Sandstone Formation, Lolland Group (new) including Ørslev Formation (new) and Falster Formation (new), Jylland Group (new) including Tønder Formation (new) and Oddesund Formation (new), and Mars Group (new) including Vinding Formation and Gassum Formation. In the other facies provinces the nomenclature previously proposed for the Central and Southern North Sea is adopted. A summary of the basin evolution is given for each formation description.

Food Conversion Efficiency

Mice of 2 strains were fed diets of natural ingredients in 3 different laboratories. The diets, which were fed before and after pelleting, contained levels of protein and energy within the ranges comparable to those found in existing laboratory diets and were the same formulation as those fed to rats in a previous paper. The diet with the lowest energy level supported the lowest rate of bodyweight gain, as it had with rats. Little effect was noticed on food consumption, conversion efficiency or water intake. Animals fed the pelleted diets gained bodyweight faster and there were indications of greater food and water consumption and also food conversion efficiency. It was concluded that food intake was improved with the pelleted diets resulting in the other increases.

In his somewhat controversial book Remnants of Auschwitz, Agamben makes brief reference to Theodor Adorno’s apparently contradictory remarks on perceptions of death post-Auschwitz, positions that Adorno had taken concerning Nazi genocidal actions that had seemed also to reflect something horribly errant in the history of thought itself. There was within such murderous acts, he had claimed, a particular degradation of death itself, a perpetration of our humanity bound in some way to affect our perception of reason itself. The contradictions regarding Auschwitz that Agamben senses to be latent within Adorno’s remarks involve the intuition ‘on the one hand, of having realized the unconditional triumph of death against life; on the other, of having degraded and debased death. Neither of these charges – perhaps like every charge, which is always a genuinely legal gesture – succeed in exhausting Auschwitz’s offense, in defining its case in point’ (RA 81). And this is the stance that Agamben wishes to hammer home quite emphatically vis-à-vis Adorno’s limitations, ones that, I would only add, seem to linger within Agamben’s own formulations in ways that he has still not come to reckon with entirely: ‘This oscillation’, he affirms, ‘betrays reason’s incapacity to identify the specific crime of Auschwitz with certainty’ (RA 81).

End Of The World

In several late texts, Derrida meditated on Paul Celan's poem ‘Grosse, Glühende Wölbung’, in which the departure of the world is announced. Delving into the ‘origin’ and ‘history’ of the ‘conception’ of the world, this paper suggests that, for Derrida, the end of the world is determined by and from death—the death of the other. The death of the other marks, each and every time, the absolute end of the world.

This chapter discusses the modeling of the history of atmospheric oxygen. The most recently deposited sediments will also be the most prone to weathering through processes like sea-level change or uplift of the land. Thus, through rapid recycling, high rates of oxygen production through the burial of organic-rich sediments will quickly lead to high rates of oxygen consumption through the exposure of these organic-rich sediments to weathering. From a modeling perspective, rapid recycling helps to dampen oxygen changes. This is important because the fluxes of oxygen through the atmosphere during organic carbon and pyrite burial, and by weathering, are huge compared to the relatively small amounts of oxygen in the atmosphere. Thus, all of the oxygen in the present atmosphere is cycled through geologic processes of oxygen liberation (organic carbon and pyrite burial) and consumption (weathering) on a time scale of about 2 to 3 million years.
