TL;DR: Differences in the hydrocarbon distribution patterns of various classes of benthic algae may be of taxonomic value and suggest that the normal paraffins of recent marine sediments are largely derived from sources other than the organisms studied.
Abstract: Twelve species of benthic algae from the northeast coast of the United States, three species of planktonic algae grown in the laboratory, a pelagic alga, a sample of mixed phytoplankton and zooplankton, and a recent marine sediment were analyzed for their normal paraffin distribution from C14H30 to C32H66.
Normal paraffins occurred in all samples. Benthic and planktonic algae and the mixed plankton sample exhibited only a slight odd-carbon predominance. All algae showed a major maximum at n-C15H32 or n-C17H36, a minimum between n-C18H38 and n-C31H44 and a secondary maximum between n-C27H56 and n-C30H62. In all these features, the algae and the plankton differed from recent marine sediments. This suggests that the normal paraffins of recent marine sediments are largely derived from sources other than the organisms studied.
Differences in the hydrocarbon distribution patterns of various classes of benthic algae may be of taxonomic value. Pristane occurs in several benthic and planktonic algae; phytane, if present, occurs at a concentration too low to be detected by the method used.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors show that fluid-peridotite and fluid-serpentinite interaction processes are an important factor regarding the budget of exchange processes between the lithosphere and the hydrosphere in slow spreading environments.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examine the processes that determine the properties of marginal sea outflows by reviewing historical data and by an analysis of two simple models, which can accept real bottom topography and real oceanic temperature and salinity profiles.

TL;DR: The response of the ocean redox state to the rise of atmospheric oxygen about 2.3 billion years ago (Ga) is a matter of controversy as discussed by the authors, and the authors of this paper provide iron isotope evidence that the change in the ocean iron cycle occurred at the same time as the change of the atmospheric redox states.
Abstract: The response of the ocean redox state to the rise of atmospheric oxygen about 2.3 billion years ago (Ga) is a matter of controversy. Here we provide iron isotope evidence that the change in the ocean iron cycle occurred at the same time as the change in the atmospheric redox state. Variable and negative iron isotope values in pyrites older than about 2.3 Ga suggest that an iron-rich global ocean was strongly affected by the deposition of iron oxides. Between 2.3 and 1.8 Ga, positive iron isotope values of pyrite likely reflect an increase in the precipitation of iron sulfides relative to iron oxides in a redox stratified ocean.

TL;DR: It is found that the adaptive coefficient μ, which controls the rate of convergence of the algorithm, must be restricted to an interval significantly smaller than the domain commonly stated in the literature.
Abstract: Statistical analysis of the least mean-squares (LMS) adaptive algorithm with uncorrelated Gaussian data is presented. Exact analytical expressions for the steady-state mean-square error (mse) and the performance degradation due to weight vector misadjustment are derived. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence of the algorithm to the optimal (Wiener) solution within a finite variance are derived. It is found that the adaptive coefficient μ, which controls the rate of convergence of the algorithm, must be restricted to an interval significantly smaller than the domain commonly stated in the literature. The outcome of this paper, therefore, places fundamental limitations on the mse performance and rate of convergence of the LMS adaptive scheme.
