We are very excited about this year’s program theme, "Embracing the Digital Environment,” a theme that is woven throughout the sessions and symposia during this week . Our innovative science addressing today’s grand challenges will be greatly strengthened by the broad interdisciplinary expertise across our three societies . Highlights of this year’s program include the Opening Keynote presentation by Joe Cornelius, Global Development Director of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation on Sunday evening, followed by a Welcome Reception in the exhibit hall . Alex McBratney, Director of the Sydney Institute of Agriculture will present the SSSA plenary (Nyle C . Brady Frontiers of Soil Science Lectureship) on Monday morning . For the ASA plenary (Dr . & Mrs . E .T . York, Jr . Lectureship) on Tuesday morning, Cyndy Parr and Andy Jarvis will share the podium for complimentary lectures and a panel discussion . Kim Kidwell, Dean of the College of ACES, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign will deliver the CSSA Plenary (Betty Klepper Endowed Lec- tureship) on Wednesday morning . Numerous tours and workshops are also provided for your professional enrichment, and an expanded Closing Reception will round out our time together on Wednesday evening . San Antonio is a great location for our meeting and November is a perfect time to visit . You can par- ticipate in the 5K Run/Walk on Tuesday morning or sign up for one of the many tours . Tuesday night is Movie Night, and will feature a screening of the movie, "Food Evolution," with popcorn and refreshments . The Henry B . Gonzalez Convention Center is nestled in the heart of the historic downtown area along the banks of the world famous River Walk, the largest urban ecosystem in the nation . Be sure to stroll, shop and dine along the winding path, explore nearby attractions like the Alamo, and immerse yourself in the history of the San Antonio Missions . We thank you for contributing to the success of our Societies' Annual Meeting . We also thank our spon- sors and exhibitors who have helped finance and enrich this year’s meetings . We are grateful to the Division Chairs and Community Leaders who have tirelessly taken on the challenge of linking various sessions to the “Digital Environment” theme . Finally, we give a special thanks to the headquarters staff of ASA, CSSA, and SSSA who have worked diligently to make this a tremendous annual event . We wish you a great week in San Antonio!

In this paper, a review is constructed with three parts: flow mecha- nism, reservoir models and numerical approaches. In mechanism, it is found that gas adsorption process can be concluded into different isotherm models for various reservoir basins. Multi-component adsorption mechanism are taken into account in recent years. Flow mechanism and equations vary with different Knudsen number, which could be figured out in two ways: Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM).

  • The Origin of the Vertebrate Jaw: Intersection Between Developmental Biology-Based Model and Fossil Evidence
    Review Progress of Projects Supported by NSFC October 2012 Vol.57 No.30: 38193828 Geology doi: 10.1007/s11434-012-5372-z The origin of the vertebrate jaw: Intersection between developmental biology-based model and fossil evidence GAI ZhiKun & ZHU Min* Key Laboratory of Evolutionary Systematics of Vertebrates, Institute of Vertebrate Paleontology and Paleoanthropology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100044, China Received May 8, 2012; accepted May 29, 2012; published online August 7, 2012 The origin of the vertebrate jaw has been reviewed based on the molecular, developmental and paleontological evidences. Ad- vances in developmental genetics have accumulated to propose the heterotopy theory of jaw evolution, i.e. the jaw evolved as a novelty through a heterotopic shift of mesenchyme-epithelial interaction. According to this theory, the disassociation of the naso- hypophyseal complex is a fundamental prerequisite for the origin of the jaw, since the median position of the nasohypophyseal placode in cyclostome head development precludes the forward growth of the neural-crest-derived craniofacial ectomesenchyme. The potential impacts of this disassociation on the origin of the diplorhiny are also discussed from the molecular perspectives. Thus far, our study on the cranial anatomy of galeaspids, a 435–370-million-year-old ‘ostracoderm’ group from China and north- ern Vietnam, has provided the earliest fossil evidence for the disassociation of nasohypophyseal complex in vertebrate phylogeny. Using Synchrotron Radiation X-ray Tomography, we further show some derivative structures of the trabeculae (e.g. orbitonasal lamina, ethmoid plate) in jawless galeaspids, which provide new insights into the reorganization of the vertebrate head before the evolutionary origin of the jaw.

A review of Silurian fishes from north- western Hunan, China and related biostratigraphy. Acta Geologica Polonica, 68 (3), 475–486. Warszawa. The Silurian fishes from north-western Hunan, China are characterised by the earliest known galeaspids Dayongaspis Pan and Zeng, 1985 and Konoceraspis Pan, 1992, and the earliest known antiarch Shimenolepis Wang J.-Q., 1991, as well as rich sinacanth fin spines. Shimenolepis from Lixian County in north-western Hunan, which was dated as the Telychian (late Llandovery), has long been regarded as the oldest representa- tive of the placoderms in the world. As such, in addition to eastern Yunnan and the Lower Yangtze Region, north-western Hunan represents another important area in South China that yields important fossil material for the research of early vertebrates and related stratigraphy.

The in-depth morphological study indicates that the sensory canal system of S. shankouensis exhibits a mélange of characters of plesiomorphic galeaspid taxa, Eugaleaspiformes, Polybranchiaspiformes and Huananaspiformes. The grid distribution of the sensory canal system on the dorsal side of the head-shield, which comprises four longitudinal canals intercrossed with six pairs of transverse canals in S. shankouensis, probably represents a plesiomorphic condition of vertebrates. Sinogaleaspis shankouensis belongs to the Sinogaleaspis-Xiushuiaspis Fauna or the Maoshan Assemblage which represents the first diversification of galeaspids in the Telychian, Llandovery of the Silurian period. The sedimentary paleoenvironment of the Xikeng Formation in Xiushui, Jiangxi Province is suggestive of a brackish water environment, whereas a large sum of muddy gravels in fish-bearing sandstone beds point to a short distance of potamic transportation.

Employing SRXTM, the skull specimens of Shuyu zhejiangensis, a 428 Advancedmillion-year-old galeaspid fromonline the Silurian of Changxing, publication Zhejiang Province, are investigated. The subsequent analyses indicate that the endoskeletal skull of S. zhejiangensis is composed wholly of cartilage without convincing evidence for the presence of perichondral bone. The cranial anatomy of S. zhejiangensis are unusually preserved in three dimensions largely due to the non-random decay of the cartilaginous braincase and its connecting ‘soft’ tissues. Using AMIRA or AVIZO software, seven virtual 3D endocasts of the skull of S. zhejiangensis were created revealing the gross internal cranial anatomy of galeaspids in great detail for the first time. The preliminary results indicate that during evolution the galeaspid head experienced a fundamental reorganization resulting in the development of jaws. Key words synchrotron, tomographic
