Przemieszczenia fragmentów litosfery a powstawanie i ruchy magm - wybrane przykłady z regionu sudeckiego i przedsudeckiego.

Megacykl orogeniczny w mlodszym paleozoiku rozpocząl sie utworzeniem wąskiego zbiornika ze skorupą oceaniczną na dnie. Zamkniecie zbiornika bylo powiązane z imbrykacją przyleglych jednostek geologicznych. W wyniku imbrykacji pomiedzy ustawionymi dachowkowe blokami Gor Sowich i Gor Kaczawskich powstala depresja Świebodzic. Anateksis roznych litologicznie czlonow stosu imbrykacyjnego (zawierających takze skaly zasadowe) tlumaczy, dlaczego w plutonach zlozonych poszczegolne pulsy magmowe mają odmienne inicjalne stosunki izotopow strontu. Przemieszczeniom magmy w podlozu towarzyszyly pionowe ruchy negatywne (tworzenie niecek sedymentacyjnych) i pozytywne. Potem nastąpily ruchy izostatyczne plutonow granitowych. Ich nastepstwem byla gleboka denudacja Karkonoszy. Displacements of lithospheric blocks and the generation and movements of magma - some examples from Sudetes Mts. and Foresudetic Block Abstract The younger Paleozoic erogenic megacycle started from opening narrow basin with the oceanic crust at the bottom. The closing of the basin resulted in the imbrication of the adjacent units. Between tilted Sowie Mts. block and Kaczawa Mts. block the Świebodzice depression originated. Anatexis of the lithologically different (including also basic rocks) units of the imbrication pile explains the different initial Sr isotopes ratios of the different magma pulses in the complex plutons. The migration of magma was associated with the vertical movement, positive and negative (formation of sedimentary basins of the cover). After that the considerable isostatic movement of granite plutons took place which resulted in deep denudation.
Pedestrian Gait Estimation and Localization using an Accelerometer

This paper presents the use of 3 axis accelerometer for getting the gait information including the number of gaits, stride and walking distance. Travel distance is usually calculated from the double integration of the accelerometer output with respect to time; however, the accumulated errors due to the drift are inevitable. The orientation change of the accelerometer also causes error because the gravity is added to the measured acceleration. Unless three axis orientations are completely identified, the accelerometer alone does not provide correct acceleration for estimating the travel distance. We proposed a way of minimizing the error due to the change of the orientation. Pedestrian localization is implemented with the heading angle and the travel distance. Heading angle is estimated from the rate gyro and the magnetic compass measurements. The performance of the localization is presented with experimental data.
Chronology for the Egyptian pharaohs of the Amarna period and the Israeli leaders Moses and Joshua by correlation with eight solar eclipses

The periods of rule for Pharaohs during the Amarna period in Egypt is dated by correlation with six solar eclipses at the horizon. Amenhotep IV changed his name to Akhenaten in his sixth year after a powerful solar eclipse during sunrise on 21/6, 1378 BCE, and the decision in his ninth year to build a completely new residential city Akhetaten – The Horizon of the Sun Disk, was taken after the dramatic solar eclipse at the horizon during sunrise on 20/4 1375 BCE. The sudden decision of Tutankhaten to change his name to Tutankhamun in the fourth year and to evacuate Akhetaten, during the winter months of this year, may have been taken after the solar eclipse during sunrise on 14/10, 1356 BCE. An alternative explanation may be a correlation with the extremely bright supernova that appeared in the sky on 9/11, 1355 BCE. This extremely bright supernova may have been interpreted as a second sun in the sky and a contradiction to the new monotheistic adoration of the Sun Disk.I identify the solar eclipse in 1258 BCE, which was total in southern Egypt, with the so-called Egyptian darkness mentioned in Exodus as number 9 of the 10 plagues before the people of Israel were given permission to leave Egypt. This eclipse took place in the 46th year of the rule of Ramesses II, 1304-1238 BCE, according to the High Egyptian chronology. The rod that Moses stretched out over the land of Egypt is identified with the long bright tail of comet Encke that dominated the southern sky in January 1258 BCE. The pillar of cloud during the day and pillar of fire during the night, which guided the people of Israel during the exodus from Egypt out in the desert, fits very well with the next bright appearance of comet Encke in May-June 1252 BCE.There was another remarkable solar eclipse in 1207 BCE that can be identified as the situation “when the sun was standing still in the valley of Ajalon”, after Joshua’s conquest of the city of Gibeon in Palestine. This date is in good agreement with the results from the modern archaeological excavations in Gibeon. Richard Stephenson has earlier identified this eclipse as taking place in 1131 BCE, but this is too late according to the archaeologists.

Opportunistic communication schemes for unmanned vehicles in urban search and rescue

In urban search and rescue (USAR) operations, there is a considerable amount of danger faced by rescuers. The use of mobile robots can alleviate this issue. Coordinating the search effort is made more difficult by the communication issues typically faced in these environments, such that communication is often restricted. With small numbers of robots, it is necessary to break communication links in order to explore the entire environment. The robots can be viewed as a broken ad hoc network, relying on opportunistic contact in order to share data. In order to minimise overheads when exchanging data, a novel algorithm for data exchange has been created which maintains the propagation speed of flooding while reducing overheads. Since the rescue workers outside of the structure need to know the location of any victims, the task of finding their locations is two parted: 1) to locate the victims (Search Time), and 2) to get this data outside the structure (Delay Time). Communication with the outside is assumed to be performed by a static robot designated as the Command Station. Since it is unlikely that there will be sufficient robots to provide full communications coverage of the area, robots that discover victims are faced with the difficult decision of whether they should continue searching or return with the victim data. We investigate a variety of search techniques and see how the application of biological foraging models can help to streamline the search process, while we have also implemented an opportunistic network to ensure that data are shared whenever robots come within line of sight of each other or the Command Station. We examine this trade-off between performing a search and communicating the results.
Analysis of the Risk Sensitive Value Iteration Algorithm

This paper shows an empirical study of Value Iteration Risk Sensitive algorithm proposed by Mihatsch and Neuneier (2002). This approach makes use of a risk factor that allows dealing with different types of risk attitude (prone, neutral or averse) by using a discount factor. We show experiments with the domain of Crossing the River in two different scenarios and we analyze the influence of discount factor and risk factor under two aspects: optimal policy and processing time to convergence. We observed that: (i) the processing cost in extreme risk policies is high with both risk-averse and risk-prone attitude; (ii) a high discount increases time to convergence and reinforces the chosen risk attitude; and (iii) policies with intermediate risk factor values have a low computational cost and show a certain sensitivity to risk based on the discount factor.
A Collaborative Writing Mode for Avoiding Blind Modifications

Existing collaborative environments such as Wiki or version control systems allow users to work in isolation, but they do not prevent blind modifications. For instance, users may concurrently perform the same task or they might work on obsolete versions of shared documents. We propose a novel writing mode for avoiding blind modifications by providing real-time information about group activities. Changes performed concurrently are filtered according to user privacy preferences and depicted in their local documents.
Strategic management of cultural-tourism resources.

contact with local residents. Cultural tourists are in their traveling motivated by cultural-tourism resources including culture of a particular population and destination, their tradition, meeting different lifestyles, and visiting material cultural heritage … Within cultural tourism, tourists search for authentic experiences affecting cultural-tourism resources. Cultural resources represent potential tourist resources. With transformation of cultural resources from potential into real ones, cultural resources become tourist resources, with positive and negative impact both of tourism and tourists. Therefore strategic management of cultural-tourism development is indispensable, as non-planed use can generate irreparable damages to cultural resources. This work emphasizes general characteristics of cultural tourists, their differences and motivations in visits to cultural locations and sights. The impact intensity effect of host-tourist relation is stated according to the economic development, social structure aspect, and cultural aspect of population.
Connectivity Editing for Quad‐Dominant Meshes

We propose a connectivity editing framework for quad‐dominant meshes. In our framework, the user can edit the mesh connectivity to control the location, type, and number of irregular vertices (with more or fewer than four neighbors) and irregular faces (non‐quads). We provide a theoretical analysis of the problem, discuss what edits are possible and impossible, and describe how to implement an editing framework that realizes all possible editing operations. In the results, we show example edits and illustrate the advantages and disadvantages of different strategies for quad‐dominant mesh design.
Scheduling Earth Observing Satellites with Evolutionary Algorithms

We hypothesize that evolutionary algorithms can effectively schedule coordinated fleets of Earth observing satellites. The constraints are complex and the bottlenecks are not well understood, a condition where evolutionary algorithms are often effective. This is, in part, because evolutionary algorithms require only that one can represent solutions, modify solutions, and evaluate solution fitness. To test the hypothesis we have developed a representative set of problems, produced optimization software (in Java) to solve them, and run experiments comparing techniques. This paper presents initial results of a comparison of several evolutionary and other optimization techniques; namely the genetic algorithm [ 5 ] , simulated annealing [7], squeaky wheel optimization [6], and stochastic hill climbing [l]. We also compare separate satellite vs. integrated scheduling of a two satellite constellation. While the results are not definitive, tests to date suggest that simulated annealing is the best search technique and integrated scheduling is superior.
Experimental Investigation Into Stiction Forces and Dynamic Mechanical Anti-Stiction Solutions in Ultra-Clean Encapsulated MEMS Devices

A systematic experimental and theoretical evaluation of stiction between intermittently contacting silicon surfaces in an ultra-clean encapsulation process is presented, evaluating magnitude of stiction forces, the reversible nature of sidewall contact, and repeatability of results. The uniquely stable environment and the lack of native oxide are leveraged to enable reliable collision and contact models, which confirm the nature of the asperity contact. In addition, we demonstrate a series of dynamic mechanical anti-stiction solutions and the mechanisms by which they mitigate stiction. These devices are shown to reduce susceptibility to stiction-related failure by 50%.
Morpho-physiological aspects of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) in response to water stress.

Water limitation may prove to be a critical constraint to crop growth. Mungbean is most susceptible in that respects neither tolerate deficiency nor the excess moisture. Therefore, the present experiment was conducted to assess water stress consequence on the morpho-physiological attributes of mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) cv. BINA mung 5 in Agronomy Field Laboratory, Bangladesh Agricultural University, Bangladesh during October 2011 to February 2012. The trial comprised seven treatments of irrigation in different growth stages. Results revealed that moisture stress hampered the mungbean growth significantly and reduced the growth rate. All morphological and physiological attributes showed the best performance under T7 where three irrigations applied and the lowest performance showed under T1 (no irrigation) due to moisture scarcity. Moisture scarcity resulted higher flower and pod abscission (53%) which enhanced early maturity of mungbean. The lowest values of assimilate partitioning were found from no irrigation might be the highest level of moisture stress compare to other treatments which changed the distribution of photosynthetic pattern. Flowering to maturity found the most critical stage where water scarcity reduced pod dry matter. Maintain adequate soil moisture during the period of flowering to pod maturity encouraged pod filling and ensure higher yield of mungbean.
UNIVERSIDADE DE LISBOA FACULDADE DE PSICOLOGIA MATERNAL EMOTION REGULATION, REACTIONS TO CHILDRENS’ NEGATIVE EMOTIONS AND YOUTH’S ADJUSTMENT

Parents that are able to adequately self-regulate emotions will be more capacitated to help their children regulate their emotions. These processes influence the socialization of child’s emotions and have an undeniable influence on the child’s emotional and social development. Parental emotion regulation also involves the ability to tolerate the child’s negative emotions. When parents are unable to tolerate and be exposed to emotionally charged situations, they might try and change their form and frequency to avoid or reduce exposure. Parental Experiential Avoidance (parental EA) represents this inability. The purpose of this study was to study the relationships between maternal emotion regulation, maternal reactions to child’s negative emotions, and child’s adjustment. Additionally, we intended to analyze gender and age group differences in regard to Mothers’ Emotion Regulation and Mothers’ Coping with Children’s Negative Emotions. The sample was composed by 247 portuguese mothers that filled out on-line two scales to evaluate their emotion regulation (EREP) and reactions to child’s emotions (CCNES) and a questionnaire pertaining to their child’s (3 to 15 years old) adjustment (SDQ). Results, overall, supported the hypothesis. Maternal negative reactions/negative emotion regulation was positively statistically significant correlated to child’s adjustment problems; and the maternal constructive reactions/positive emotion regulation was positively statistically significant correlated to child’s positive adjustment. Negative and positive maternal emotion regulation dimensions were positively statistically significant correlated to, respectively, negative and constructive maternal reactions to child’s negative emotions. The results also showed significant differences between girls and boys regarding Emotion-Focused Reactions, wherein mothers used it more on girls than on boys. Mothers used less Distress Reactions with pre-school children but more Emotion-Focused Reactions compared with elementary school children, pre-adolescents and
Managing Paradoxical Tensions in the Implementation of a social innovation: The impact of action research on the methodological framework (preliminary results)

This paper presents the preliminary results of a longitudinal case study of a social innovation in a food security social economy meta-organization. Through a research internship, twelve months were spent in the organization observing and identifying the dynamics of implementing a mutualization project in the food security sector of the social economy in Quebec. In this paper, we examine the challenges and tensions arising from the paradoxes internal to this type of organization and, more specifically, in the context of developing a social innovation. The main question this paper seeks to answer is "why is it interesting to examine a meta-organization from the perspective of paradoxical tension theory in an action research context? ".

Increasing Voltage Utilisation in Split-Link, Four-Wire Inverters

– Four-wire inverters are useful for interfacing distributed generation to networks of unbalanced loads but neither of the available circuit topologies is ideal. The split-link 3-leg topology (with 6 switches) suffers poor DC voltage utilisation compared to the 4-leg topology (with 8 switches). The 4-leg topology has an EMC difficulty because it imposes large amplitude high-frequency voltages between the DC-link busbars and ground. To obtain both good DC voltage utilisation and good EMC performance, it is proposed to use a split-link inverter with an active balancing circuit (also 8 switches). The balancing circuit is used to modulate the DC busbar offset voltage to make better use of the available DC-link voltage. The optimum voltage term is established to be a third harmonic term and the utilisation improves to that of the 4-leg inverter. A deadbeat controller supplemented with a repetitive controller is designed to give good tracking and good disturbance rejection for the busbar offset voltage. System performance is studied through an experimental test rig.
Co-registration of fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (fDOT) with Positron emission tomography (PET) and development of multi-angle fDOT

This thesis concerns the image processing of fluorescence diffuse optical tomography (fDOT), following two axes: FDOT image co-registration with PET (positron emission tomography) image and improvement of fDOT image reconstructions using mirrors to collect additional projections. It is presented in two parts:In the first part, an automatic method to co-register the fDOT images with PET images has been developed to correlate all the information from each modality. This co-registration method is based on automatic detection of fiducial markers (FM) present in both modalities. The particularity of this method is the use of optical surface image obtained in fDOT imaging system, which serves to identify the Z position of FM in optical images. We tested this method on a model of mice bearing tumor xenografts of MEN2A cancer cells that mimic a human medullary thyroid carcinoma, after a double injection of radiotracer [18F] 2-fluoro-2-Deoxy-D-glucose ( FDG) for PET imaging and optical fluorescent infrared tracer Sentidye. With the accuracy of our method, we can demonstrate that the signal of Sentidye is present both in the tumor and surrounding vessels.The fDOT reconstruction image quality is degraded along the Z axis due to a limited number of projections for reconstruction. In the second part, the work is oriented towards a new method of fDOT image reconstruction with a new multi-angle data acquisition system in placing two mirrors on each side of the animal. This work was conducted in collaboration with the CS Department of University College London (UCL), a partner of the European project FMT-XCT. TOAST software developed by this team was used as source code for the reconstruction algorithm, and was modified to adapt to the concerned problem. After several tests on the adjustment of program parameters, we applied this method on a phantom that simulating the biological tissue and on mice. The results showed an improvement in the reconstructed image of a semi-cylindrical phantom and the image of mouse kidney, for which the reconstruction of the mirrors geometry is better than that of conventional geometry without mirror. Nevertheless, we observed that the results were very sensitive to certain parameters, where the performance of reconstruction varies from one case to another. Future prospectives concern the optimization of parameters in order to generalize the multi-angle approach.

American Options, the Method of Images and Closed Form Solutions

This paper considers solutions for a class of optimal stopping problems, maximising the expected product of a Wiener process and a positive decreasing scale function. The general approach to such problems involves a partial differential equation with movable boundary. The method of images is a useful tool for solving fixed-boundary PDE problems. We adapt this method to a sub-class of movable boundary problems. When the scale function in the original problem is a survival function of Generalised Pareto (GPD) type, we use a self-similarity property to reduce the PDE to an ODE. This ODE was widely studied in the 19th century, and the solution involves confluent hypergeometric functions. In cases of integer parameters, we give simpler closed form solutions involving the normal distribution function. The same approach also works when the Wiener process is reflected at zero.
