Nuclear power, which accounts for 19 percent of the nation's electricity generation, is facing some serious challenges. Not only did its hoped-for renaissance fizzle out, four reactors shut down last year, another is closing this fall, and the nuclear giant Exelon says it will announce plant closings by the end of this year if market conditions don't improve.

The UK Rockall, located to the west of Scotland and the Hebrides, is a frontier petroleum-bearing basin. Exploratory drilling in the basin took place over a quarter of a century (1980–2006), during which time a total of 12 wells were drilled, leading to the discovery of a single, subcommercial gas accumulation. We argue that the basin, which has seen no drilling activity for more than a decade, has not been sufficiently tested by the existing well stock. We examine the reasons for the absence of key Jurassic source rocks in the UK Rockall wells, which are widely distributed elsewhere on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), and argue that their absence in the wells does not preclude their existence in the basin at large. An evaluation of the Permian–Early Eocene successions, based upon the seismic interpretation of new 2D seismic data, has been integrated with legacy data and regional evidence to establish the potential for source, reservoir and sealing elements within each interval. Finally, we look at the future for exploration in the UK Rockall and suggest a way forward in the drilling of a new joint governmental–industry test well that may help to unlock the exploration potential of this under-explored, yet prospective, basin.

The Tabaquito batholith (Frontal Cordillera, western Argentina), is mainly composed of shallowly emplaced granodiorite to minor monzogranite with abundant mafic microgranular enclaves. New sensitive high-resolution ion microprobe U–Pb zircon ages of c. 337 Ma (biotite granodiorite) and c. 284 Ma (mafic dyke) along with previously published geochronological data suggest that a long-lived magmatic system formed through at least two magmatic pulses at c. 337 and c. 322 Ma with later superimposition of Permian magmatism. The Tabaquito granitoids are metaluminous, calc-alkalic and magnesian with I-type affinity. Elevated Th/Nb, Y/Nb and La/Nb ratios along with negative Nb–Ta and positive Pb anomalies are consistent with a continental arc setting. Hf, Nd and Sr isotopic composition of the Tabaquito granitoids suggests that their source could result from mixing of an old felsic crustal component and a juvenile mafic to intermediate component. New geochronological and geochemical data together with published data reveal a continuous arc setting from the Carboniferous to the Permian in Argentina, and important magmatic compositional variations through time and space controlled by episodic fluctuations in the subduction angle of the oceanic plate. Reported and compiled data allow us to infer the continuity of the Carboniferous magmatic arc along the west margin of Gondwana.

SUMMARY:

The remarkable temperature sensitivity of the brain is widely recognized and has been studied for its role in the potentiation of ischemic and other neurologic injuries. Pyrexia frequently complicates large-vessel acute ischemic stroke and develops commonly in critically ill neurologic patients; the profound sensitivity of the brain even to minor intraischemic temperature changes, together with the discovery of brain-to-systemic as well as intracerebral temperature gradients, has thus compelled the exploration of cerebral thermoregulation and uncovered its immutable dependence on cerebral blood flow. A lack of pragmatic and noninvasive tools for spatially and temporally resolved brain thermometry has historically restricted empiric study of cerebral temperature homeostasis; however, MR thermometry (MRT) leveraging temperature-sensitive nuclear magnetic resonance phenomena is well-suited to bridging this long-standing gap. This review aims to introduce the reader to the following: 1) fundamental aspects of cerebral thermoregulation, 2) the physical basis of noninvasive MRT, and 3) the physiologic interdependence of cerebral temperature, perfusion, metabolism, and viability.
