Data paper describes Antarctic biodiversity data gathered by 90 expeditions since 1956

Huge data encompassed into a unique georeferenced macrobenthic assemblages database

A new peer-reviewed data paper offers a comprehensive, open-access collection of georeferenced biological information about the Antarctic macrobenthic communities. The term macrobenthic refers to the visible-for-the-eye organisms that live near or on the sea bottom such as echinoderms, sponges, ascidians, crustaceans. The paper will help in coordinating biodiversity research and conservation activities on species living near the ocean bottom of the Antarctic.
The data paper "Antarctic macrobenthic communities: A compilation of circumpolar information", published in the open access journal Nature Conservation, describes data from approximately 90 different expeditions in the region since 1956 that have now been made openly available under a CC-By license. The paper provides unique georeferenced biological basic information for the planning of future coordinated research activities, for example those under the umbrella of the biology program Antarctic Thresholds – Ecosystem Resilience and Adaptation (AnT-ERA) of the Scientific Committee on Antarctic Research (SCAR). The information collected could be also beneficial for current conservation priorities such as the planning of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) by the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR).
The expeditions were organised by several famous explorers of the Antarctic. The area covered by the paper consists of almost the entire Southern Ocean, including sites covered by a single ice-shelf. The vast majority of information is from shelf areas around the continent at water depth shallower than 800m. The information from the different sources is then attributed to the classified macrobenthic assemblages. The results are made publicly available via the "Antarctic Biodiversity Facility" (data.biodiversity.aq).
A specific feature of this paper is that the manuscript was automatically generated from the Integrated Publishing Toolkit of the Antarctic Node of the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (AntaBIF IPT) and then submitted to the journal Nature Conservation through a novel workflow developed by GBIF and Pensoft Publishers. (see previous press release). Data are made freely available through the AntaBIF IPT, and sea-bed images of 214 localities through the data repository for geoscience and environmental data, PANGAEA- Data Publisher for Earth and Environmental Science (sample: http://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.198682).

Speaking from on board the research vessel 'Polarstern', the paper's lead author Prof. Julian Gutt of the Alfred Wegener Institute Helmholtz Centre for Polar and Marine Research, Germany commented:
"The most important achievement of this paper is that data collected over many years and by various institutions are now not only freely available for anyone to download and use, but also properly described to facilitate future work in re-using the data. The Data Paper concept is certainly a great approach that multiplies the effect of funds and efforts spent by generations of scientists."
The data will also be used for a comprehensive Biogeography Atlas of the Southern Ocean project to be released during the XI SCAR Biology Symposium in Barcelona July 2013.

Александр Матвеевич Понятов и первый в мире видеомагнитофон VRX–1000, 1956 год, США

https://c2n.me/47rgOtW.jpg

Александр Понятов (1892–1980) — американский инженер, основатель и президент компании Ampex, которая выпустила в 1956 году первый коммерческий видеомагнитофон. До появления этого изобретения единственным способом записи телепередач была съемка кинескопа на пленку, что давало посредственное качество изображения и было дорогостоящим. Так многие ранние телепередачи вообще не попали в архивы. С помощью видеомагнитофона стало возможным записывать передачи и транслировать их через несколько часов в другом часовом поясе. Изобретение было настолько революционным, что коллектив авторов VRX–1000 получил в 1957 году премию «Эмми».

Александр Матвеевич — выходец из крестьянской (позже купеческой) семьи Казанской губернии, учился в ИМТУ и в Германии, ветеран Первой мировой, воевал в Белой армии, иммигрировал в Китай, позже жил во Франции, затем стал гражданином США. Будучи уже 50–летним инженером, в 1944 организовал в своем гараже в Сан–Франциско фирму AMPEX (Alexander М. Poniatoff EXcellence), которая сначала работала на оборонку. После войны Ampex занялась выпуском аудиомагнитофонов. С 1951 года фирма вела разработку технологии записи видео на магнитную ленту и к 1956 представила первый серийный коммерческий образец видеомагнитофона, который опережал прототипы конкурентов: в Ampex VRX–1000 вместо того, чтобы увеличивать скорость движения магнитной ленты, магнитные головки в видеокамере и видеомагнитофоне закреплены на вращающемся с высокой скоростью барабане, что позволило значительно снизить скорость лентопротяжного механизма (а значит, и расход ленты).

На видеопленку Ampex в частности записаны «кухонные дебаты» Никсона и Хрущева (ч1 ч2).
В самом СССР из–за эмбарго пришлось самостоятельно разработать свой видеомагнитофон в 1958–1960 гг.
