High stable carbon isotope (δ¹³C) values (−2.8‰ to +3.1‰) throughout the stalagmite's growth reflect a persistently low input of biogenic CO², indicating that the steep, barren and alpine-like recharge area of today has been in existence for at least the last ∼380 kyr. During MIS 9, the lowest δ¹³C values occur well after maximum interglacial conditions, suggesting a lag in the development of post-glacial soils in this high-altitude karst. The stable oxygen isotope (δ¹⁸O) trends match the main structural features of the major climate proxy records (SPECMAP, Vostok and Devils Hole), suggesting that the δ¹⁸O of CC1 has responded to global-scale climate changes, whilst remarkable similarity exists between CC1 δ¹⁸O and regional sea-surface temperature reconstructions from North Atlantic core ODP980 and southwest Pacific marine core MD97-2120 through the most detailed part of the CC1 record, MIS 9–8. The results suggest that CC1 and other stalagmites from the cave have the potential to capture a long record of regional temperature trends, particularly in regards to the relative severity of Pleistocene glacial stages.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:27:20 AEDT ]]> Concentration quenching of fluorescence from the ³P₀ +³P₁ manifold in heavily-doped Pr³⁴: ZBAN glasses https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:2295 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:26:57 AEDT ]]> Nano-domain behaviour in P3HT: PCBM nanoparticles, relating material properties to morphological changes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19913 w=5–72 kg mol⁻¹). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) have been used to support the STXM data. We find that unannealed P3HT:PCBM nanoparticles (NPs) exhibit a common core–shell morphology, with a PCBM-rich core and P3HT-rich shell. The morphology of the thermally annealed NP films is highly dependent upon the molecular weight of the P3HT and is determined by PCBM diffusion through the P3HT matrix. Two PCBM diffusion mechanisms operate within this system: (1) at high molecular weights diffusion of molecular PCBM dominates whilst, (2) at low molecular weights diffusion of the PCBM cores is significant. The Stokes–Einstein continuum model for diffusion has been used to determine a threshold molecular weight at which the diffusion of PCBM cores is activated in these films. The calculated value (Mw~38–25 kg mol⁻¹) is shown to agree very well with experimental observations. Finally, a model for the morphological evolution of annealed P3HT:PCBM NP films is developed.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:45 AEDT ]]> Larval caddis-fly nets and retreats: a unique biosedimentary paleocurrent indicator for fossil tufa deposits https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3323 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:19 AEDT ]]> Are current models of tufa sedimentary environments applicable to tropical systems?: a case study from the Gregory River https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3320 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:23:18 AEDT ]]> Rank annihilation correction for the amendment of instrumental inconsistencies https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3228 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:22:15 AEDT ]]> Application of a genetic algorithm: near optimal estimation of the rate and equilibrium constants of complex reaction mechanisms https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3220 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:22:13 AEDT ]]> A disaggregation scheme for soil moisture based on topography and soil depth https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3403 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:41 AEDT ]]> Multi-parameter fingerprinting of sediment deposition in a small gullied catchment in SE Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3401 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:41 AEDT ]]> Interplay between deformation and magmatism during doming of the Archaean Shaw Granitoid Complex, Pilbara Craton, Western Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3418 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:38 AEDT ]]> Slab pull, mantle convection, and Pangaean assembly and dispersal https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3404 400 Ma. A transverse (Rheic–Tethyian) subduction system splits the Pangaean cell. Poloidal plate motion in the oceanic cell reflects circumferential pull of Panthalassan slabs, but toroidal flow in the Pangaean cell, reflected by vortex-type motion of continents toward the Altaids of central-east Asia throughout the Phanerozoic, has resulted from the competing slab-pull forces of both cells. The combined slab-pull effects from both cells also controlled Pangaean assembly and dispersal. Assembly occurred during Palaeozoic clockwise toroidal motion in the Pangaean cell, when Gondwana was pulled into Pangaea by the NE-trending Rheic subduction zone, forming the Appalachian–Variscide–Altaid chain. Pangaean dispersal occurred when the Rheic trench re-aligned in the Jurassic to form the NW-trending Tethyside subduction system, which pulled east Gondwanan fragments in the opposite direction to form the Cimmerian–Himalayan–Alpine chain. This re-alignment also generated a new set of (Indian) mid-ocean ridge systems which dissected east Gondwana and facilitated breakup. 100–200-Myr-long Phanerozoic Wilson cycles reflect rifting and northerly migration of Gondwanan fragments across the Pangaean cell into the Rheic–Tethyian trench. Pangaean dispersal was amplified by retreat of the Panthalassan slab away from Europe and Africa, which generated mantle counterflow currents capable of pulling the Americas westward to create the Atlantic Ocean. Thermal blanketing beneath Pangaea and related hotspot activity were part of a complex feedback mechanism that established the breakup pattern, but slab retreat is considered to have been the main driving force. The size and longevity of the two cells, organised and maintained by long-lived slab-pull forces, favours deep mantle convection as the dominant circulation process during the Phanerozoic.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:36 AEDT ]]> Ab initio structures and stabilities of HeTM³⁺ (TM=Sc-Cu) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3256 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:21 AEDT ]]> Complexation of a four-strand tetraalcohol with labile metal ions probed by electrospray mass spectrometry https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3253 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:20 AEDT ]]> Electrospray identification of new polyoxochromate species https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3257 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:21:20 AEDT ]]> Comparison of two petrographic methods for determining the degree of anomalous vitrinite reflectance https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3475 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:20:27 AEDT ]]> Origin of fine-scale sheeted granites by incremental injection of magma into active shear zones: examples from the Pilbara Craton, NW Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3381 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:19:00 AEDT ]]> Measurements of Si ion stopping in amorphous silicon https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3379 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:59 AEDT ]]> The isoelectric points of sapphire crystals and alpha-alumina powder https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3393 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:58 AEDT ]]> The rheology of concentrated suspensions of depletion-flocculated latex particles https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3385 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:58 AEDT ]]> Water and protons in electrodeposited MnO₂ (EMD) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:3386 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:18:57 AEDT ]]>
