A new special collection in AGU journals will present findings from the Second REgional Carbon Cycle Assessment and Processes (RECCAP2) study with a decade of data on greenhouse gas growth.
Experience with the use of cytotoxic drugs in the first trimester of pregnancy is limited. We report on the clinical phenotype and infantile development of a girl born to a 36-year-old mother. Before recognition of pregnancy, the latter had been treated for acute myelocytic leukaemia receiving cytarabine, daunorubicin and doxorubicin at conception and cytarabine and thioguanine at about 35-37 days post conception. At delivery, there were severe brachycephaly, hypoplasia of the anterior cranial base and the midface as well as synostoses of both coronal and metopic sutures. Further findings included bilateral four-finger hands with hypoplastic thumbs and absent radii. This phenotype is reminiscent of the Baller-Gerold syndrome. The child, at present 15 months old, has had to undergo two operations for fronto-orbital advancement because of insufficient growth of the mid-face, nasal airway hypoplasia and increased intracranial pressure. Motor milestones are slightly retarded--neurodevelopment is otherwise normal. These findings are discussed in the context of the few previous reports and are particularly important for future genetic counselling.
Attersee represents a good example of a lake situated in the Northern forelands of the Northern Calcareous Alps and influenced by different sediment-supplying processes during the postglacial . Several compounds, of different origin, form the sediments of the basin . Clastics which are mainly composed of dolomites derive from the Northern Calcareous Alps . Clastic input of organic and inorganic particles is accomplished by rivers and landslides . They are responsible for the main input of siliciclasts like quartz, feldspar and mica . A high proportion of the sediment results from autochthonous biogenic carbonate precipitation . In the shallow sublittoral areas of the northern part of the lake benthic decalcification caused by encrusting macroand micro-phytes is dominant, while in the southern and central parts of the lake epilimnetic decalcification caused by the blooming of phytoplancton is more important during summer . The total biogenic calcium carbonate production reaches about 11000 to 12000 metric tons a year.Nutrients and residues of cyanophytes (Oscillatoria rubescens) deriving from the eutrophic lake Mondsee were washed into lake Attersee by the Mondseeache . High amount of phosphorus in the sediments of the southern basin depicts local eutrophication in the mouth area of the Mondseeache . The average sedimentation rate in lake Attersee can be determined by different dating methods . Sedimentation rates increased during the last 110 years from 1 mm a year to 1 .8-2 mm a year as a result of human activities . Five main phases in the postglacial sedimentary history can be recognized : Wurm moraines and finely banded varves (before 13 000 B .P.), the early Attersee stage (from 13 000 B.P. up to 1200 B .P.), and the later Attersee stage after the Bavarian colonization (from 1200 B .P. on) . Using heavy metal and isotope analyses the sedimentary history can be reconstructed in more detail for the last 100 years .
Traunsee was formed by glacial overdeepening of a pre-existing fault system . Present-day morphology is characterized by a deep (189 m) narrow trough with steep slopes (>50°) in the southern part surrounded by the Northern Calcareous Alps. The northern part of the lake is bordered by flysch and glacial deposits with gentle slopes (< 30°) and exhibits several ridges, basins and troughs .During the late and postglacial period, more than 45 m of sediment has accumulated in the central basin . Sedimentation in the southern part of Traunsee is mainly controlled by the river Traun forming a prograding delta in the south and -within the past 50 years -by industrial tailings consisting mainly of calcite . Sediments are distributed by undercurrents and by turbidites . Cores from the central basin thus show an intercalation of Traun-derived dolomite-rich sediments with anthropogenic muds from the tailings deposited up to more than 6 km from its source .Within the northern basin, land slides from the flysch region played an important role leading to drastic changes in the morphology of slopes and adjacent basins. These slumps have persisted until historic times . Sedimentation in the shallow sublittoral regions is dominated by benthic biogenic decalcification .The frequency of turbidite sedimentation within the profundal basin decreased during the last 200 years probably due to man's activities in the drainage area such as regulation of rivers and torrents . Sedimentation rates during the past decades range from 2-3 cm/a in the southern basin to 0 .4 cm/a in the northern part as shown by 131 Cs-dating .Geologic setting, morphology and hydrography
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
