    Description / Table of Contents: This timely book documents marvelous brachiopod fossils from the Palaeozoic-Mesozoic transition of South China. Numerous beautiful pictures and detailed descriptions (specifically the measurements of body size) of brachiopod species are presented. Systematic discussion on the evolution of brachiopod biodiversity and morphological features across the critical interval is not only extremely important for paleontologists to understand the marine ecosystem evolution from the Palaeozoic to the Mesozoic, but also attractive for students who need to know about the end-Permian mass extinction. The book distinguishes itself from other studies by its detailed study of the taxonomy, biodiversity and paleoecology of Permian-Triassic brachiopods from different palaeogeographic facies, especially from the deep-water environment in South China. The book also offers a unique study of the response of morphological features of brachiopods to palaeoenvironmental changes, providing insights for the process of Permian-Triassic crisis

    Description: The collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates promotes the southeastward extrusion of the Indochina Peninsula while the internal dynamics of its crustal deformation remain enigmatic. Here, we make use of seismic data from 38 stations and employ the ambient noise tomography to construct a 3‐D crustal shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model beneath the Indochina Peninsula. A low‐Vs anomaly is revealed in the mid‐lower crust of the Shan‐Thai Block and probably corresponds to the southern extension of the crustal flow from SE Tibet. Although the Khorat Plateau behaves as a rigid block, the observed low‐Vs anomalies in the lower crust and also below the Moho indicate that the crust may have been partially modified by mantle‐derived melts. The strike‐slip shearing motions of the Red River Fault may have dominantly developed crustal deformation at its western flank where a low‐Vs anomaly is observed at the upper‐middle crust.
    Description: Plain Language Summary: The Indochina Peninsula was believed to behave as a rigid block where significant southeastward extrusion and clockwise rotation have occurred in response to the collision between the Indian and Eurasian plates. Here, we employ ambient noise data to obtain the shear‐wave velocity (Vs) images and find deformations in the interior of the crust beneath the Indochina Peninsula. A low‐Vs anomaly is observed in the mid‐lower crust of the Shan‐Thai Block and represents the crustal flow from SE Tibet. The crust of the Khorat Plateau, the core of the Indochina Block, has been partially modified by mantle‐derived melts. The strike‐slip shearing motions of the Red River Fault have brought crustal deformation at its southwestern flank characterized as a low‐Vs anomaly in the upper‐middle crust.
    Description: Key Points: A 3‐D crustal shear‐wave velocity (Vs) model was constructed for the Indochina Peninsula from ambient noise tomography. Low‐Vs in the middle‐lower crust of the Shan‐Thai Block may represent the southern extension of the crustal flow from SE Tibet. The crust of the rigid Khorat Plateau has been partially modified by intrusion of mantle‐derived melts.

    Notes: The frequency organization in the inferior colliculus of neonatally-deafened rats was investigated using electrical stimulation of the cochlea and immunoreactivity for Fos as a marker of neuronal activity. An electrode implanted either at the base or at the apex of the right cochlea delivered a unique 45-min stimulation at two different level intensities and at two time points, i.e. either at 4 weeks or at 4 months. In 4-week-old rats stimulated at 5× threshold, a site-for-site organization was observed since basal or apical stimulation induced a strong labelling in the ventro-medial or in the dorsolateral part of the left inferior colliculus, respectively. In 4-month-old rats, stimulation of the base induced an extremely weak Fos labelling without any specific location in the left inferior colliculus while stimulation of the apex induced a diffuse labelling with two discrete bands being distinguishable in the left inferior colliculus. In 4-week-old rats stimulated at 15× threshold, basal stimulation elicited a diffuse Fos-like immunoreactivity in the left inferior colliculus while apical stimulation yielded a response restricted to the dorsal part of the left inferior colliculus. In 4-month-old rats, no response was detected in the left inferior colliculus after stimulation of the basal part of the cochlea. Stimulation of the apex could still induce a labelling in the dorsolateral left inferior colliculus. Thus, the inferior colliculus exhibits an adult-like tonotopic organization early on independently of any acoustic stimulation. Prolonged absence of auditory input dramatically alters this organization in the inferior colliculus, especially for high frequencies. From a clinical standpoint, these results could argue for early implantation in deaf children.

    Notes: Abstract The rheological behavior and a constitutive relationship of elastic-visco-plasticity for polymers are investigated in this paper. Several sets of experiments have been carried out to determine the material constants and to test the validity of constitutive formulation. It is shown that the theoretical profiles are in good agreement with experimental results. The rheological characteristic and the strain-rate effect of model are analyzed by computer simulation.

    Notes: A general equation is derived for the stress response of a linear viscoelastic material to periodic strain excitation at constant strain rates. The energy dissipated in any cycle, especially in a steady-state loop, is discussed. The results can be used to analyze test results in determining mechanical properties of polymers. A simple Maxwell model and a three-parameter Maxwell model are used to illustrate the calculation of stress response and energy dissipation under constant-strain-rate loading.

    Description: The Qinling orogenic belt and surrounding areas are a junction zone in Central China that connects the North China craton, Yangtze craton and northeastern Tibetan plateau. This area is in a key position within the more general framework where there is eastward extrusion of the Tibetan plateau and westward subduction of the Pacific plate. There is an ongoing scientific debate on how these two main processes are driving the geodynamic evolution of the Qinling orogenic belt and surrounding areas. Specific mechanisms have been proposed, such as lower crustal flow, crustal shortening and big mantle wedge tectonics. Knowledge of the seismic velocity structure helps us understand how these two driving forces affect the tectonic blocks of the study area, as well as test how well the proposed mechanisms to fit the regional velocity structure. For this purpose, a high-resolution P-wave velocity model of the crust and uppermost mantle was obtained by inverting arrival times from local earthquakes that occurred in the Qinling and surrounding region. Our three-dimensional (3D) model suggests that crustal channel flow cannot exist in the whole Qinling orogenic belt, and the localized low-velocity zone generated by the horizontal compressive stress caused by the collision of the Indian and Eurasian plates, is a possible explanation for the growth of the northeastern Tibetan plateau. The contrast in seismic velocities found under the east-Qinling and the west-Qinling orogenic belts implies a different response of these two terranes to the eastward extrusion of the Tibetan plateau. Our velocity model points to relatively stable structural features in the east-Qinling and the Weihe graben, while a low-velocity anomaly in the uppermost mantle of the southernmost Ordos plateau suggests that the lithosphere of the southern Ordos plateau is undergoing destruction.

    Description: Background: Metabolic functions may operate as important biophysiological mechanisms through which social relationships affect health. It is how social embeddedness or the lack thereof is related to risk of metabolic dysregulation. To fill this gap we tested the effects of social integration on metabolic functions over time in a nationally representative sample of older adults in the United States and examined population heterogeneity in the effects. Methods: Using longitudinal data from 4,323 adults aged over 50 years in the Health and Retirement Study and latent growth curve models, we estimated the trajectories of social integration spanning five waves, 1998-2006, in relation to biomarkers of energy metabolism in 2006. We assessed social integration using a summary index of the number of social ties across five domains. We examined six biomarkers, including total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glycosylated hemoglobin, waist circumference, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure, and the summary index of the overall burden of metabolic dysregulation. Results: High social integration predicted significantly lower risks of both individual and overall metabolic dysregulation. Specifically, adjusting for age, sex, race, and body mass index, having four to five social ties reduced the risks of abdominal obesity by 61% (odds ratio [OR] [95% confidence interval {CI}] = 0.39 [0.23, 0.67], p = .007), hypertension by 41% (OR [95% CI] = 0.59 [0.42, 0.84], p = .021), and the overall metabolic dysregulation by 46% (OR [95% CI] = 0.54 [0.40, 0.72], p 〈 .001). The OR for the overall burden remained significant when adjusting for social, behavioral, and illness factors. In addition, stably high social integration had more potent metabolic impacts over time than changes therein. Such effects were consistent across subpopulations and more salient for the younger old (those under age 65), males, whites, and the socioeconomically disadvantaged. Conclusions: This study addressed important challenges in previous research linking social integration to metabolic health by clarifying the nature and direction of the relationship as it applies to different objectively measured markers and population subgroups. It suggests additional psychosocial and biological pathways to consider in future research on the contributions of social deficits to disease etiology and old-age mortality.
