Subsidence and thermal history of an inverted Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous extensional basin (Cameros, North-central Spain) affected by very low- to low-grade metamorphism

The Cameros Basin (North Spain) is a Late Jurassic-Early Cretaceous extensional basin, which was inverted during the Cenozoic. It underwent a remarkable thermal evolution, as indicated by the record of anomalous high temperatures in its deposits. In this study, the subsidence and thermal history of the basin is reconstructed, using subsidence analysis and 2D thermal modelling. Tectonic subsidence curves provide evidence of the occurrence of two rapid subsidence phases during the syn-extensional stage. In the first phase (Tithonian-Early Berriasian), the largest accommodation space was formed in the central sector of the basin, whereas in the second (Early Barremian-Early Albian), it was formed in the northern sector. These rapid subsidence phases could correspond to relevant tectonic events affecting the Iberian Plate at that time. By distinguishing between the initial and thermal subsidence and defining their relative magnitudes, Royden's (1986) method was used to estimate the heat flow at the end of the extensional stage. A maximum heat flow of 60–65 mW/m2 is estimated, implying only a minor thermal disturbance associated with extension. In contrast with these data, very high vitrinite reflectance, anomalously distributed in some case with respect to the typical depth-vitrinite reflectance relation, was measured in the central-northern sector of the basin. Burial and thermal data are used to construct a 2D thermal basin model, to elucidate the role of the processes involved in sediment heating. Calibration of the thermal model with the vitrinite reflectance (%Ro) and fluid inclusion (FI) data indicates that in the central and northern sectors of the basin, an extra heat source, other than a typical rift, is required to explain the observed thermal anomalies. The distribution of the %Ro and FI values in these sectors suggests that the high temperatures and their distribution are related to the circulation of hot fluids. Hot fluids were attributed to the hydrothermal metamorphic events affecting the area during the early post-extensional and inversion stages of the basin.
Services and Recurrence After Psychological Maltreatment Confirmed by Child Protective Services

Recurrence rates of psychological maltreatment (PM) and the services that may reduce those rates have not been systematically evaluated. The National Child Abuse and Neglect Data System was used for 2003–2007 to study a cohort of children in 18 states with PM reports first confirmed by child protective services (CPS) during 2003. PM recurrence rates after counseling and other referrals were assessed while controlling for factors associated with service referral and other maltreatment. A total of 11,646 children had a first CPS-confirmed report with PM, and 9.2% of them had a second-confirmed PM report within 5 years. Fewer than one fourth of families were referred for services after PM, with service referrals being more likely for families with poverty, drug or alcohol problems, or other violence. Controlling for these factors, counseling referral was associated with a 54% reduction in PM recurrence, but other services were not associated with statistically significant reductions. Few families in which PM was confirmed receive any services, and most services provided were not associated with reductions in PM recurrence. Clarification of key services associated with efficacious prevention of PM is needed.
Methodology for the evaluation of symptoms severity of Mango Sudden Death Syndrome in Pakistan.

Mango (Mangifera indica L.) is an important fruit tree of the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. Presently, the mango orchards in Pakistan are badly infected with the destructive and latent disease, Mango Sudden Death Syndrome (MSDS). The apparent symptoms of this disease are gum oozing, bark splitting, rotting signs, vascular discoloration, canker formation and withered leaves attached over after dying of tree. Methodology for the assessment of mango sudden death in mango orchards was developed in devising a decision support system for timing management of disease. Disease incidence was observed on the collar portion including main roots of infected trees over total number of trees. The disease severity symptoms were recorded on the whole trees i.e., collar region, root zone, main stem, main limbs and leaves from four sides of tree. A disease scale was developed on the basis of visual observations of symptoms on infected mango tree. It comprised of seven scales ranging from 0= no disease sign, 1= 1-10% area of infection over total area observed, 2= 11-20%, 3= 21-30%, 4= 31-40%, 5= 41-50%, 6= 51-60% and 7= 61% to onwards regarded as maximum severity. According to the severity scale for assessment of MSDS, percent disease was calculated as mean value (totalling scale values of each disease symptom observed and dividing them by total number of parameters examined on mango plant) multiplied by 100/maximum scale value. On the basis of this disease assessment method, a sustainable management for mango sudden death syndrome would be devised.
Are compensatory growth and catch-up growth two sides of the same coin?

Compensatory growth refers to an animal’s ability to grow extremely rapidly after it has experienced a period of reduced growth. It is also widely held that the growth trajectories of animals showing compensatory growth converge towards those followed by conspecifics that have experienced favorable growth conditions throughout their lives. In other words, it is often assumed that animals undergoing compensatory growth also show some recovery, and thereby exhibit catch-up growth. This belief has resulted in the terms compensatory growth, recovery growth, and catch-up growth being used as synonyms, and has also created some problems with regard to data analysis and interpretation. Following a discussion of methods of analysis and their limitations, a series of growth simulations is presented to illustrate why the terms should not be used as synonyms. The simulations, based upon the assumption that compensatory growth results in a restoration of body composition (using condition index as a surrogate), show that compensatory growth is not always accompanied by a convergence of growth trajectories. Compensatory growth can occur in the absence of catch-up growth, and the simultaneous observation of compensatory growth and a recovery of body mass is a special combination of events. Further, it is possible for growth trajectories to converge even when animals that have experienced a period of reduced growth do not display compensatory growth. Definitions are proposed that distinguish between the terms compensatory growth, recovery growth, and catch-up growth, and guidelines are given relating to the analysis of the results of fish compensatory growth studies.
Normative wideband reflectance measures in healthy neonates

Presently, normative wideband reflectance data are available for neonates who have passed a distortion product otoacoustic emission test. However, passing the distortion product otoacoustic emission test alone does not ensure normal middle ear function. The objective of this study was to establish normative wideband reflectance data in healthy neonates with normal middle ear function, as justified by passing a battery of tests.Wideband reflectance was measured in 66 infants (mean age=46.0 h, SD=21.0, range=13.3-116.5h) who passed a test battery that included high frequency (1000 Hz) tympanometry, acoustic stapedial reflex, transient evoked otoacoustic emissions and distortion product otoacoustic emissions.The analysis of variance (ANOVA) results showed significant variations of reflectance across the frequencies. There was no significant difference between ears and genders. The median reflectance reached a minimum of 0.21-0.24 at 1-2 kHz, but increased to 0.45-0.59 below 1 kHz and 0.24-0.52 above 2 kHz.The normative reflectance data established in the present study were in agreement with, but marginally smaller than, those of previous normative studies, except for the Keefe et al. (2000) study. While the use of a test battery approach to ensure normal middle ear function in neonates has resulted in slightly reduced reflectance across most frequencies when compared to studies that have used only otoacoustic emissions, further research is needed to accurately determine the middle ear status of neonates using test performance measures.
Efficacy of a new combination of fipronil and permethrin (Effitix ® ) against Phlebotomus perniciosus in dogs

Two controlled clinical trials were carried out to assess the anti-feeding and adulticidal effects of a spot-on combining fipronil and permethrin (Effitix(®), Virbac, Carros, France) against Phlebotomus perniciosus in dogs. The first study (Exp. A) was a dose-determination study in which 3 doses of permethrin (30 mg/kg, 60 mg/kg and 120 mg/kg) were compared. The second study (Exp. B) was an efficacy study using commercial dose of permethrin contained in Effitix(®) (the minimum dose of permethrin applied to dogs was 60 mg/kg). Twenty four and twelve Beagle dogs with equal sensitivity to sandflies were included in Exp. A and in Exp. B, respectively. Dogs were challenged with female sandflies (50 per dogs in Exp. A and 80 in Exp. B) for 60±5 min on Days - 7, 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28 (Day 0 being treatment day). Counts and engorgement determination of dead and alive sandflies were performed after each exposure to treated and untreated dogs. Dead sandflies were also counted 24 h after exposure. In Exp. A, the repellency induced by an administration of 30 mg/kg of permethrin to dogs was above 91% for the first two weeks and then dropped to 82.2, 83.1 and 81.1% on Days 14, 21 and 28, respectively. For dogs receiving 60 mg/kg of permethrin, the repellency was a bit higher with 95.8, 97.6, 92.1, 91.4, and 86.8%, for Days 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28, respectively. The repellency induced by 120 mg/kg of permethrin was significantly higher than that induced by 60 mg/kg of permethrin on Day 14 only. In Exp. B the anti-feeding effect of the spot-on formulation was 94.1, 97.8, 96.3, 90.8 and 87% on Days 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28, respectively. The mortality effect was 98.9, 99.1, 99.8, 97.0 and 89.7% on Days 1, 7, 14, 21 and 28, respectively. At each challenge point, the mortality and anti-feeding effects on sandflies were significantly different between control and treatment group (p<0.05). The results indicate that a monthly administration of this new combination of permethrin and fipronil could be used as an effective sandfly control strategy in dogs and therefore recommended for use in an integrated leishmaniosis prevention program.

Additivemanufacturable

EU SMEs/mid-caps face clear barriers in the uptake of Additive Manufacturing (AM) related to lack of skilled human resources, and lack of access to know-how, equipment, infrastructure and markets. The principal objective of this project is to overcome those barriers and enable the uptake of AM technologies by SMEs/mid-caps leading to the development of innovative business and service models and new value-chain models in a fully digital environment – thus bringing their ideas and business cases to life and making their innovations Additively Manufacturable (AMable). To achieve this objective, partners with expertise right across the AM value chain have been brought together from the four corners of the EU to:
- create an open-sourced-based, living and adapting AM eco-system which can offer required assistance to European SMEs/mid-caps and become self-sustainable after project execution;
- provide all necessary assistance to SMEs/mid-caps allowing successful exploitation of AM, including 3 ‘competitive calls’ for experiments;
- offer a comprehensive range of (at least 10) AM support services through an open source- and API-based digital marketplace structured as three Platforms (Technology, Business, and Skills and Education);
- support and develop ‘best in class’ AM data handling tools and approaches, on an open-source basis.;
- coordinate the development of synergies with the already existing I4MS framework, Competence Centres, Digital Innovation Hubs and other related research and innovation activities at the European level.
Through these activities, the following direct impacts are anticipated:
- >50 SME/mid-cap application experiments 
- >150 SME/mid-cap business case evaluations and/or Application Experiments

Banana Screening Method and Simulation of Banana Screening Process Using Discrete Element Method

This paper presented the fundamentals of banana screening method and the structural features of the banana screen. Based on soft-dry ball contact model, banana screening process was simulated by using 3D discrete element method. The results show that the material bed on banana screen possesses a characteristic of thin and constant thickness along the screen plate. The particles velocity on the screen deck shows a decreasing distribution along the screen deck length and the decrease of velocity changes from steep at the feed end to flat at the discharge end. The instantaneous efficiency of banana screen can reach to above 0.95 and the efficiency of steady state is about 0.83. Numerical simulation results can provide references for insight understanding of the banana screening mechanism and optimization of banana screen.
Sharp-Edged, De-noised, and Distinct (SDD) Marker Creation for ARToolKit

Fiducial markers are widely used in many Augmented Reality (AR) applications such as to manipulate AR objects, robot navigation, education and AR based games. ARToolKit is an open source, easy to configure and well-documented tracking system which is widely used for designing marker based AR applications. The quality of ARToolKit markers plays a vital role in the performance of these AR applications, but currently there is neither algorithm nor quantitative measure to guide users for designing high quality markers in order to achieve their reliable tracking. In this paper we studied the effect of edge sharpness, noise and markers distinction on markers reliability. We also developed the specialized algorithms for designing Sharp-edged, De-noised and Distinct (SDD) markers, which have low inter-marker confusion and are highly reliable.

Un grand éclatement? Comprendre les réalignements et transformations de la vie politique québécoise

Depuis plusieurs années, et particulièrement au cours des derniers cycles électoraux, le paysage politique québécois se transforme. La fin du bipartisme, le renouvellement des acteurs et actrices du système politique (en ce qui concerne tant les formations politiques que les personnes élues), la nature des enjeux politiques saillants dans l’espace public et le comportement de l’électorat annoncent pour plusieurs un éclatement de la scène politique, lequel serait symptomatique d’un réalignement. Ce numéro thématique a pour objectif d’analyser comment s’articule ce phénomène et quelles sont ses conséquences sur la vie politique au Québec. Notre article introductif brosse le portrait de ces transformations, notamment en ce qui concerne les dynamiques électorales, les différents clivages politiques majeurs et les acteurs et actrices. Il montre aussi en quoi ce phénomène mérite que l’on s’y attarde en analysant, par exemple, les cycles électoraux à venir, les pratiques de communication politique en transformation et les conséquences des changements politiques sur le plan institutionnel. Il présente finalement les différentes contributions du numéro thématique.
Enhancing data fusion, parallelisation for hydrological modelling and estimating sensitivity to spatial parameterization of swat to model nitrogen and phosphorus runoff at local and global scale

A growing economy and population in the world is causing landscape changes and an increasing pressure is put on water resources. Diffuse water pollution is considered to be one of the major problems for water quality in many countries. Modelling has been successfully used to simulate water quality in catchments to better understand the underlying landscape processes. The widely used Soil and Water Assessment Tool (SWAT) is a spatially distributed model that can be used to estimate flow and nutrient transport at a variety of scales.

In current published studies typically only one or two parameters of precipitation, DEM, land use or soil properties are used in. The proposed project aims to investigate how spatial resolution of core input datasets of all types (precipitation, DEM, land use and soil) impacts SWAT modelling results and estimate the nutrient runoff on a local and global scale.

Sensitivity analysis to all of precipitation, DEM, land use and soil will therefore be tested. The limitation to one or two parameters in current published studies is due to the computational demands. Due to the way the SWAT model is programmed using a tightly coupled Message Passing Interface (MPI) approaches the available computing power needs to accessible within specialised High Performance Computing (HPC) clusters of limited size. Thus, either scale or resolution is typically compromised.

As for higher resolution or global scale data the computational effort becomes too large for automated calibration, we aim to develop a novel method to automate data processing and balancing computational load transparently between many computers.

In order to surpass these limitations we test the MapReduce framework as a novel method for parallelization. This entails new ways of data management, model data partitioning and spreading the model partition computations transparently over multiple computing nodes  fostering a loosely coupled distributed computation paradigm.
Anthropic park of the Aquileia countryside, Karst and Slovenian coastal area

This project concerns the study of an innovative cultural-tourist development plan which, by means of a suitable GIS (Geographic Information System), can foster the integration of available resources on the territory according to thematic itineraries. In particular, a network will be set up among the various territories, by means of multimedia and virtual technologies, so as to diversify and better qualify the tourist offer. The peculiarities of the interested area - which comprises seventeen municipalities of the Eastern Low Friuli plain - are enhanced through workshops intended to qualify human resources in a framework of cross-border cooperation and system harmonization with the municipalities on the coast and in the Slovenian Karst. The creation of the Anthropic Park of the Aquileia countryside in the Karst and Slovenian coast areas will make it possible to enhance the specificity and existing connections of the common heritage. A feasibility study of the project will be carried out (planning, coordination, surveys, data processing and dissemination of results) and a GIS will be set up to promote and develop tourist activities, in order to connect mapmaking - even historical mapmaking - of the territory with a large data bank containing all its tourist-cultural peculiarities. Lastly, multimedia stations will be set up in order to provide tourist and cultural information, and websites will be created for the interested municipalities concerned, also posting online the thematic itineraries available on the territory. The web portal “Terre di Aquileia” offers the opportunity, thanks to its flexible, dynamic and multilingual nature, to enhance the local tourist-cultural heritage, also through the exact positioning of said itineraries on the maps of the area, that will be available online using GIS tools.

FIRST SEARCHES FOR OPTICAL COUNTERPARTS TO GRAVITATIONAL-WAVE CANDIDATE EVENTS

During the LIGO and Virgo joint science runs in 2009-2010, gravitational wave (GW) data from three interferometer detectors were analyzed within minutes to select GW candidate events and infer their apparent sky positions. Target coordinates were transmitted to several telescopes for follow-up observations aimed at the detection of an associated optical transient. Images were obtained for eight such GW candidates. We present the methods used to analyze the image data as well as the transient search results. No optical transient was identified with a convincing association with any of these candidates, and none of the GW triggers showed strong evidence for being astrophysical in nature. We compare the sensitivities of these observations to several model light curves from possible sources of interest, and discuss prospects for future joint GW-optical observations of this type.
