Possession Islands

The Possession Islands, between 71°53 S, 171°14 E and 71°58 S, 171°07 E, in Fig. 16.35 are located 8 km off the coast of Cape McCormick and Cape Roget on the southern end of the Adare Peninsula. They consist of a group of nine small islands and sea stacks composed of Cenozoic alkali-rich volcanic rocks described 

Possession (2.2 x 1.7 km) and Foyn (2.0 x 1.5 km, elevation 101 m) are the two largest islands followed by Bull and Heftey islands. The others are isolated piUar-like rocky islands detached from the larger islands by wave erosion augmented by weathering (i.e., they are sea stacks). 

The Possession Islands were first visited by Captains James Ross and R.M. Crozier on January 11, 1841 (Section 1.2). Captain Ross dedicated the Possession Islands to Queen Victoria before continuing south along the coast of what is now Victoria Land until he reached a large island on January 24,1841, later named 

Possession Islands are composed of basanite, basalt, and hawai-ite which are less altered than the Cenozoic volcanic rocks on the mainland (Adapted from McIntosh tind Kyle (1990b) in LeMasurier and Thomson (1990)) 

Ross Island. Captain Ross named the two volcanoes on Ross Island after the two small ships in his fleet (Victor 1963).

The volcanoes along the Ross-Sea coast of northern Victoria Land collectively form the Hallett volcanic province in Fig. 16.35. This province includes the Adare, Hallett, and Daniell peninsulas, and Coulman Island. Volcanic rocks of Cenozoic age also occur on the Possession Islands and at a few vents on the mainland west of the major volcanic complexes named above (McIntosh and Kyle 1990a). 

Adare Peninsula, HaUett Peninsula, Daniell Peninsula, Coulman Island, and the Possession Islands. The Cenozoic volcanic rocks in these areas are located adjacent to and may have been deposited on top of the low-grade metasedimentary rocks of the Robertson Bay Group of early Paleozoic age (Section 4.5) (Adapted from Gair et al. (1969))... 

Fig. 16.36 The volcanic rocks in the Hallett volcanic province range from basanites to phonolites and trachytes. The principal volcanic centers represented on this diagram are Cape Adare, Cape Hallett, Cape Daniell, Coulman Island, and the Possession Islands. The rock types are identified by the letters in each field Bn = basanite, Tp = tephrite, Ptp = phonotephrite, Tpp =...

The volcanic rocks on Possession and Foyn islands in Fig. 16.36 are basanites and tephrites in the form of lava flows, volcanic bombs, andmegapillows. McIntosh and Kyle (19900 commented that the rocks of the Possession Islands are least altered of all the rocks in the Hallett volcanic province that have been analyzed.

The most common cause of contact angle hysteresis arises from heterogeneous contamination of the sofid with islands of adsorbed or smeared low-energy impurities. High-energy surfaces attract such contamination more readily than low and often exhibit the surface of low-energy surfaces. Metals also may possess islands of oxidation that induce hysteresis. Low-energy surfaces, on the other hand, can also acquire contamination, more often with surface-active material that is amphipathic in nature. 

In addition, you must send a copy of the report to the State in which the facility is located ( State" refers to State of the U.S., the District of Columbia, the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and any other territory or possession over which the U.S. has jurisdiction). Refer to Appendix Q for the appropriate State address for your submission. If your facility is located on Indian land, send a copy to the Chief Executive Officer of the applicable Indian tribe. Some tribes have entered into a cooperative agreement with the State, in which this case. Form R submissions should be sent to the entity designated In the cooperative agreement. 

Thymus caespitosus Brot. occurs on the northwestern Iberian Peninsula and on the Madeiran and Azorean archipelagos. One of the Azores group is Sao Jorge, a small island, located at ca. 38°40 N, 28°03 W, with an area of about 246km and a width that does not exceed 10km at any point (see Fig. 2.27 for location of Azores). The island possesses a uniform climate and offers little in the way of environmental extremes. It is thus of some interest that significant quantitative chemical variation... 

Variation within a species was examined by looking at the chemistry of Z. dipetalum specimens collected from sites on three islands, Hawaii, Kauai, and Oahu. Of the seven compounds detected in this comparison, only two, caryophyl-lene [542] and humulene [543] (see Fig. 6.5 for structures 542-546), were present in all individuals. Trees from a site on Oahu were unique in their possession of... 

Differences in alkaloid composition between samples of Z dipetalum from different islands have also been reported (Arslanian et al., 1990). These workers found that a tree from Oahu (anethole/estragole chemotype) lacked thalicitrine [546] (see Fig. 6.5), whereas a tree from Kauai and one from Hawaii (both 2-undecanone/2-tridecanone chemotype) possessed the compound. 

The first deals with small islands of silver on a ruthenium substrate. One may look at this sample as a, perhaps somewhat far-fetched, model of a supported catalyst or a bimetallic surface. As metal layers are almost never in perfect registry with the substrate, they possess a certain amount of strain. Goodman and coworkers [46] used these strained metal overlayers as model systems for bimetallic catalysts. Here we look first at the electronic properties of the Ag/Ru(001) system as studied by UPS. 

An essential instrument for the suppression of transcription activity in heterochromatin, as well as for the differential regulation in euchromatin, is the methylation of DNA on the C5 atom of cytidine in the CpG sequence (Fig. 1.43). CpG sequences occur imevenly distributed in the genome. They may be concentrated in CpG islands. Higher eucaryotes possess a characteristic distribution pattern of 5-methyl cytidine (m C), which remains intact upon cell division. Mechanisms must therefore exist to ensure that the methylation pattern is precisely retained in the daughter cells following cell division. A methyl transferase that carries out hemi-methylation in the CpG sequences (Fig. 1.43) is responsible for the inheritance of the methylation pattern. The methyl group is derived from S-adenosyl methionine. The preferential substrates for the hemi-methylation are DNA sequences in which the complementary strand is already methylated. Such a hemi-methylation occurs, for example, shortly after replication of the sequence. 

Those who knew Malay tradition were more cautious, knowing what shallow roots the new polity had. R. O. Winstedt, concerned as inspector of Malay schools to root Malays in a distinct Melayu tradition, nevertheless eventually called one book he wrote for an English public, Malaya. He had to explain what it meant— The word Malaya is an English hybrid applied only to British possessions and protectorates, and especially perhaps to the Peninsula, so that British Malaya is pleonastic (Winstedt 1923 1). As if to overemphasise the alien Britishness of the term, he claimed it should properly also cover the Borneo territories, and even Cocos and Christmas islands. Nevertheless a term was needed and Malaya gradually established itself in the 1920s. In the same year as Winstedt s book, 1923, the venerable Journal of the Straits Branch of the...
