The thermal expansion of Ti-substituted CaAl12O19NARA Subscribed
CaAl 12 O 19 , which can incorporate Ti as both Ti 3+ and Ti 4+ (charge coupled substitution with Mg 2+ ), is one of the first minerals to condense from a gas of solar composition and is used as a ceramic. It is variously known as hibonite, calcium hexaluminate (CaO.6Al 2 O 3 ), and CA 6 . The lattice parameters and unit cell volumes of Ti-substituted hibonite ( P 6 3 / mmc ) with the formulae CaAl 11.8 Ti 3+ 0.2 O 19 and CaAl...
During the past century, bivalve populations across the globe have collapsed, resulting in negative ecosystem consequences due to their outsized impact on shallow estuaries. In response, there has been strong interest in the restoration of marine bivalve populations. Here, we present a decade-long restoration effort that sought to rebuild a collapsed (99.5% reduction in harvest) and recruitment-limited population of hard clams...
A new model for zircon saturation in silicate meltsNARA Subscribed
A new model describing zircon saturation in silicate melts is presented that combines the results of 196 data from new experiments with data from previous experimental studies. In the new experiments, the concentration of Zr in melts coexisting with zircon was determined at temperatures between 800 and 1500 °C for 21 compositions (with alumina saturation index, ASI, from 0.20 to 1.15), containing ~ 1 to 16 wt % FeO T and, for...
Prolonging survival in good health is a fundamental societal goal. However, the leading determinants of disability-free survival in healthy older people have not been well established. Data from ASPREE, a bi-national placebo-controlled trial of aspirin with 4.7 years median follow-up, was analysed. At enrolment, participants were healthy and without prior cardiovascular events, dementia or persistent physical disability. Disab...
The global abundance of tree palmsNARA Subscribed
Aim Palms are an iconic, diverse and often abundant component of tropical ecosystems that provide many ecosystem services. Being monocots, tree palms are evolutionarily, morphologically and physiologically distinct from other trees, and these differences have important consequences for ecosystem services (e.g., carbon sequestration and storage) and in terms of responses to climate change. We quantified global patterns of tree...
Phylogeny and biogeography of Croton alabamensis (Euphorbiaceae), a rare shrub from Texas and Alabama, using DNA sequence and AFLP dataNARA Subscribed
Croton alabamensis (Euphorbiaceae s.s. ) is a rare plant species known from several populations in Texas and Alabama that have been assigned to var. texensis and var. alabamensis , respectively. We performed maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian analyses of DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 5.8S regions and chloroplast trn L‐ trn F regions from collections of the two v...
