Nitrogen isotope evidence for expanded ocean suboxia in the early Cenozoic [PDF]
The million-year variability of the marine nitrogen cycle is poorly understood. Before 57 million years (Ma) ago, the ^(15)N/^(14)N ratio (δ^(15)N) of foraminifera shell-bound organic matter from three sediment cores was high, indicating expanded water ...

Quantitative Estimates of Younger Dryas Freshening From Lipid δ2H Analysis in the Beaufort Sea
Abstract The leading hypothesis attributes the Younger Dryas (YD) event to a disruption in the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, driven by meltwater input from North America. Determining the origin, timing, and magnitude of YD freshening are crucial for understanding abrupt climate change.

Immuno Magnetic Thermosensitive Liposomes For Cancer Therapy [PDF]
The present work describes the encapsulation of the drug doxorubicin (DOX) in immuno paramagnetic thermosensitive liposomes. DOX is the most common chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of a variety of carcinomas.

Pliocene Warmth and Patterns of Climate Change Inferred From Paleoclimate Data Assimilation
Abstract As the last time period when CO2 ${\text{CO}}_{2}$ concentrations were near 400 ppm, the Pliocene Epoch (5.33–2.58 Ma) is a useful paleoclimate target for understanding future climate change. Existing estimates of global warming and climate sensitivity during the Pliocene rely mainly on model simulations.

Biomarker evidence of a serpentinite chemosynthetic biosphere at the Mariana forearc
Present-day serpentinization systems, such as that at the Mariana forearc, are prominent sources of reduced volatiles, including molecular hydrogen (H2) and methane (CH4), and are considered analogs for chemosynthetic ecosystems on early Earth.

Abstract We evaluate lead‐lag relationships between warming associated with the Paleocene‐Eocene thermal maximum (PETM) and the attendant carbon isotope excursion (CIE) recorded in sedimentary archives from the mid‐Atlantic continental margin. Cores from the New Jersey coastal plain (NJCP) provide thick (up to 15 m), rapidly deposited shelf PETM ...

The Headgroup (A)Symmetry Strongly Determines the Aggregation Behavior of Single-Chain Phenylene-Modified Bolalipids and Their Miscibility with Classical Phospholipids [PDF]
In the present work, we describe the synthesis of two single-chain phenylene-modified bolalipids, namely PC-C17pPhC17-PC and PC-C17pPhC17-OH, with either symmetrical (phosphocholine) or asymmetrical (phosphocholine and hydroxyl) headgroups using a ...

Abstract A series of transient global warming events (“hyperthermals”) in the early Eocene is marked by massive environmental and carbon cycle change. Among these events, the impacts of the Paleocene Eocene Thermal Maximum (∼56 Ma), Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 (∼54 Ma) and Eocene Thermal Maximum 3 (∼53 Ma) are relatively well documented.

Fire and ecosystem change in the Arctic across the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum [PDF]
Fire has been an important component of ecosystems on a range of spatial and temporal scales. Fire can affect vegetation distribution, the carbon cycle, and climate.

Disentangling influences of climate variability and lake-system evolution on climate proxies derived from isoprenoid and branched glycerol dialkyl glycerol tetraethers (GDGTs): the 250 kyr Lake Chala record [PDF]
High-resolution paleoclimate records from tropical continental settings are greatly needed to advance understanding of global climate dynamics. The International Continental Scientific Drilling Program (ICDP) project DeepCHALLA recovered a 214.8 m long ...
