Bayesian Stratigraphy Integration of Geophysical, Geological, and Geotechnical Surveys Data
Authors: Medina-Cetina Zenon , Son Jungrak , Moradi Moslem 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
This paper introduces a probabilistic approach to significantly improve offshore site characterization from integrated geophysical, geological and geotechnical survey data, and from different technologies used from within each of these disciplines. The proposed Bayesian stratigraphy integration methodology is based on the sequential integration of available evidence (experimental observations, model predictions and experts’ beliefs), which allows for the reduction of uncertainty and improve the quality of geospatial analysis translated into higher stratigraphy resolution and higher confidence on the determination of sediments’ mechanical characteristics. A synthetic case study for a 2D heterogeneous shallow offshore soil media is presented to illustrate the overall methodology. One application of probabilistic cluster identification based on geological data is discussed (e.g. 1D density upscaling profile), as this is then transferred to a probabilistic geophysical inversion, including the corresponding uncertainty propagation and.
De politieke economie van macro-economische onbalansen in de eurozone
Authors: Rodenburg Peter 
Published: April 2019

The Political Economy of Macroeconomic Imbalances in the Eurozone
The introduction of the euro led to large macroeconomic imbalances between
Euro countries. Under pressure from the euro crisis, the European Commission adopted EU
regulations 1174/2011 and 1176/2011 in 2011 with the aim of reducing these macroeconomic
imbalances.
These measures include the Macroeconomic Imbalance Procedure to identify macroeconomic
imbalances and, if necessary, to prompt Member States to take corrective action.
This article provides an overview of this recent EU policy for countering imbalances and
provides a political-economic analysis of the macroeconomic imbalances in Europe and its
consequences. In particular, it focuses on the conflicting interests of the euro-area countries
with current account surpluses and deficits. This article also analyses the possibilities offered by
the 2019 European election for European policy makers to strengthen this policy.
The article concludes that the surplus countries, despite the apparent advantage of
trade balance surpluses, do have an interest in reducing imbalances in the EU but fail to
translate this into actual policy. The Commission’s role in reducing imbalances is likely to remain
limited, even after the 2019 European elections.

The European Union’s fight against tax avoidance: targeted measures but no structural changes
According to the outgoing European Commissioner Pierre Moscovici, the
European Union (EU) has made more progress in tackling tax avoidance and evasion in the last
five years than in the twenty years before that. This article argues that although several targeted
measures have indeed been adopted, such as automatic exchange of tax rulings and limitations
on interest deductions, this has not led to a structural change in EU corporate tax policies, nor in
underlying power relations. The article discusses the politics of a number of recent policy
developments related to tax avoidance and evasion by transnational corporations. It argues that
the adoption of targeted measures, and the simultaneous stalling of more comprehensive
approaches – in terms of tax transparency or a common consolidated corporate tax base – can
be explained by recent tax controversies, international politics, and the dynamics within and
between EU institutions. Particular attention is paid to the role of the European Parliament that
is formally limited, but still houses progressive forces that have continuously pushed for a
clampdown on tax avoidance. Finally, the article pleads for more transparent EU
decision-making, specifically concerning discussions with and within the Council, in order to
improve the democratic legitimacy of EU corporate tax policies and processes.
Sociale menging? Vergeet de elitewijken niet!

Social mixing? Do not ignore the elite neighbourhoods!
The most relevant part of a discussion is not what is discussed but what cannot be spoken of. The real taboos are those for which it is taboo to call them taboos. The status quo defines itself as non-ideological while denouncing any challenge to itself as radical. Therefore the column ‘De Blinde Vlek’ frames the framers, politicizes the status quo and articulates what is not heard of.

Trust in nightlife policing actors: a comparison between police, door staff, and CCTV
While studies on trust in the police are numerous, this is much less the case for other policing actors. It is important to examine this in the light of the increasing number and diversification of policing actors and their legitimacy. Using a survey, 894 youngsters were asked to evaluate their trust in actors involved in the policing of urban nightlife areas: the police, door staff, and CCTV. Results showed that people tend to trust human actors of surveillance more compared to technological actors, however different (demographic and contextual) factors nuance this pattern.

Behind the scenes at diagnostic research pro Justitia at Teylingereind: the added value of clinical observation of youth and young adults who are difficult to examine
This article merely outlines the methods of Teylingereind with respect to youth and young adult suspects who are difficult to examine, based on five cases. By collecting and combining data about this group from a range of different perspectives, better insight about the specific person was obtained in each of the cases as described. When it is possible to describe specific behavioural patterns, statements could be made about freedom of behavioural choices, danger of recidivism, and advice about the most appropriate legal framework. In this way, when there are serious concerns about the developmental course of youth and young adults who are not willing to cooperate in diagnostic research pro Justitia, clinical observation is of added value to the judge.
Late Triassic-Late Cretaceous Paleogeography of Mexico and the Gulf of Mexico
Authors: Sánchez Padilla y , José Ricardo 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Most plate tectonic models for the opening of the Gulf of Mexico focus on the fit of different crustal blocks, regional faults, the areal extent of abnormal oceanic crust, transitional crust, and continental crust, as well as on today's geophysical data, but only a few include paleogeographic data. High quality paleogeographic maps are available for the northern part of the Gulf of Mexico, but the same type of information for the southern part is difficult to obtain. However, information from many published sources has been used to compile a series of maps of the entire country of Mexico, including the Gulf of Mexico.
The main objective of this project is to build-up palinspastic paleogegraphic maps of Mexico through the Mesozoic, where the various marine and transitional sedimentary facies are restored to their original geographical positions prior to folding and faulting, and then are overlapped on the tectonic blocks involved in the most popular plate tectonics models. The data contained in these maps correspond to outcrops in continental Mexico and to published subsurface data in the marine areas.
Regional Correlation of Lithofacies Within the Haynesville Formation from Onshore Alabama: Analysis and Implications for Provenance and Paleostructure
Authors: Essex Caleb W. , Robinson Delores M. , Weislogel Amy L. 
Published: April 2019

Abstract
Although the Upper Jurassic Haynesville Formation is a proven hydrocarbon reservoir in the onshore eastern Gulf of Mexico, the unit remains understudied because exploration has been focused on the older and more productive Norphlet and Smackover Formations. In this study, we use cores, gamma ray logs, and spontaneous potential logs from 49 wells in southern Alabama to analyze the Haynesville Formation. We point-counted 18 sandstone samples from seven cores, and six sandstone samples from four of those cores were analyzed for detrital zircon age distributions. Core and well log analyses indicate that the Haynesville Formation can be subdivided into anhydrite, sandstone, and carbonate lithofacies. The thickness and distribution of these lithofacies suggests that relict basement topography derived from the opening of the eastern Gulf of Mexico during Late Triassic-Early Jurassic time is the primary influence on Upper Jurassic sediment distribution. Framework grain compositions indicate that the sandstone lithofacies was derived from a recycled orogenic provenance, indicating a primarily Laurentian terrane source with some mixing from the Gondwanan Suwannee terrane. Detrital zircon age distributions from Haynesville Formation sandstones contain major age populations that correspond with derivation from both the Laurentian Grenville Province and Appalachian Mountain source rocks, with some mixing from the Gondwanan Suwanee terrane. Haynesville Formation detrital zircon ages and sandstone compositions are similar to that of the underlying Norphlet Formation, indicating that the provenance and sediment transport pathways remained similar through deposition of the Upper Jurassic units.
Confluencias entre la educación artística y las tecnologías de la imagen
Authors: Gianottii Gonzalo Vicci 
Published: April 2019

En nuestra contemporaneidad, la fotografía y a las imágenes presentan un amplio espacio de posibilidades de trabajo en torno a la educación artística. Cotidianamente nos enfrentamos a una sucesión de recursos y dispositivos tecnológicos que podemos utilizar como herramientas, que contienen implícitamente disparadores que nos permiten plantear discusiones y reflexiones en cuanto a su utilización como estrategias educativas, obligando a replantear incluso los alcances de las imágenes y su relación con los individuos. Nen este texto se proponen algunos abordajes que nos permiten pensar en la relevancia que revisten las imágenes – en particular las fotografías – en la construcción de imaginarios personales y colectivos. Se propone reflexionar en torno a la forma en que se han reformulado las concepciones que, en relación a la imagen fotográfica, se manejaron desde la segunda mitad del siglo XX y la manera en que la fotografía – desde su invención – ha transitado por diversos cambios tecnológicos que han impactado y reorientado su utilización e impacto en el uso cotidiano y profesional.
Plasmas Computed with ATMED CR of the 3rd Non-LTE Code Comparison Workshop Database
Authors: Benita A. J. 
Published: April 2019

In this paper, there are presented some results calculated with ATMED CR of the 3rd Non-LTE Code Comparison Workshop held in December 2003, when this software didn’t exist, having been released in 2017. NLTE population kinetics codes were tested of steady-state cases for C, Al, Ar, Ge, Xe and Au plasmas selected for detailed comparisons. The scope of the meeting consisted of analyzing steady-state dense plasma cases of carbon, low temperature plasmas of aluminium and argon, X-ray laser experiments of germanium also with imposing a Planckian radiation field, medium- and high-Z multicharged ions of hot “experiment-related” plasmas of xenon, using real electron temperature and density parameters inferred from electronic and ionic Thomson scattering spectra and finally plasmas of gold. Being motivated by germanium X-ray laser experiments, the time history of electronic temperature Te and density Ne for a temporal dependent case is provided in Workshop NLTE-3. The calculation with ATMED CR has been carried out to t = 1.975 ns considering the non-uniform time grid along with the corresponding values of Te and Ne presented, being the initial condition LTE at low temperature.
The results for plasma properties can be considered as relatively precise and optimal, being checked fundamentally the high sensitivity of calculations to changes in regime, local thermodynamic equilibrium (LTE) or non-LTE (NLTE), electronic and radiation temperatures, electronic density and the percentage of hot electrons. Frequency resolved and mean opacities are also displayed computed with ATMED CR using UTA (Unresolved Transition Array) or Mixed UTA formalisms.
Highly computationally efficient state filter based on the delta operator
Authors: Zhang Xiao , Ding Feng , Xu Ling , Yang Erfu 
Published: April 2019

SummaryThe Kalman filter is not suitable for the state estimation of linear systems with multistate delays, and the extended state vector Kalman filtering algorithm results in heavy computational burden because of the large dimension of the state estimation covariance matrix. Thus, in this paper, we develop a novel state estimation algorithm for enhancing the computational efficiency based on the delta operator. The computation analysis and the simulation example show the performance of the proposed algorithm.

AbstractUltrathin 2D nanomaterials possess promising properties due to electron confinement within single or a few atom layers. As an emerging class of functional materials, ultrathin 2D rare‐earth nanomaterials may incorporate the unique optical, magnetic, and catalytic behaviors of rare‐earth elements into layers, exhibiting great potential in various applications such as optoelectronics, magnetic devices, transistors, high‐efficiency catalysts, etc. Despite its importance, reviews on ultrathin 2D rare‐earth nanomaterials or related topics are rare and only focus on a certain family of ultrathin 2D rare‐earth nanomaterials. This work is the first comprehensive review in this impressive field, which covers all families of ultrathin 2D rare‐earth nanomaterials, illustrating their compositions, syntheses, and applications. After summarizing the current achievements, the challenges and opportunities of future research on ultrathin 2D rare‐earth nanomaterials are evaluated.

Published: April 2019

AbstractProtein–protein interactions within protein networks shape the human interactome, which often is promoted by specialized protein interaction modules, such as the postsynaptic density‐95 (PSD‐95), discs‐large, zona occludens 1 (ZO‐1) (PDZ) domains. PDZ domains play a role in several cellular functions, from cell–cell communication and polarization, to regulation of protein transport and protein metabolism. PDZ domain proteins are also crucial in the formation and stability of protein complexes, establishing an important bridge between extracellular stimuli detected by transmembrane receptors and intracellular responses. PDZ domains have been suggested as promising drug targets in several diseases, ranging from neurological and oncological disorders to viral infections. In this review, the authors describe structural and genetic aspects of PDZ‐containing proteins and discuss the current status of the development of small‐molecule and peptide modulators of PDZ domains. An overview of potential new therapeutic interventions in PDZ‐mediated protein networks is also provided.

AbstractIn this work, the authors realize stable and highly efficient wide‐bandgap perovskite solar cells that promise high power conversion efficiencies (PCE) and are likely to play a key role in next generation multi‐junction photovoltaics (PV). This work reports on wide‐bandgap (≈1.72 eV) perovskite solar cells exhibiting stable PCEs of up to 19.4% and a remarkably high open‐circuit voltage (VOC) of 1.31 V. The VOC‐to‐bandgap ratio is the highest reported for wide‐bandgap organic−inorganic hybrid perovskite solar cells and the VOC also exceeds 90% of the theoretical maximum, defined by the Shockley–Queisser limit. This advance is based on creating a hybrid 2D/3D perovskite heterostructure. By spin coating n‐butylammonium bromide on the double‐cation perovskite absorber layer, a thin 2D Ruddlesden–Popper perovskite layer of intermediate phases is formed, which mitigates nonradiative recombination in the perovskite absorber layer. As a result, VOC is enhanced by 80 mV.

Published: April 2019

AbstractAtomically dispersed transition metals confined with nitrogen on a carbon support has demonstrated great electrocatalytic performance, but an extremely low concentration of metal atoms (usually below 1.5%) is necessary to avoid aggregation through sintering which limits mass activity. Here, a salt‐template method to fabricate densely populated, monodispersed cobalt atoms on a nitrogen‐doped graphene‐like carbon support is reported, and achieving a dramatically higher site fraction of Co atoms (≈15.3%) in the catalyst and demonstrating excellent electrocatalytic activity for both the oxygen reduction reaction and oxygen evolution reaction. The atomic dispersion and high site fraction of Co provide a large electrochemically active surface area of ≈105.6 m2 g−1, leading to very high mass activity for ORR (≈12.164 A mgCo−1 at 0.8 V vs reversible hydrogen electrode), almost 10.5 times higher than that of the state‐of‐the‐art benchmark Pt/C catalyst (1.156 A mgPt−1 under similar conditions). It also demonstrates an outstanding mass activity for OER (0.278 A mgCo−1). The Zn‐air battery based on this bifunctional catalyst exhibits high energy density of 945 Wh kgZn−1 as well as remarkable stability. In addition, both density functional theory based simulations and experimental measurements suggest that the CoN4 sites on the carbon matrix are the most active sites for the bifunctional oxygen electrocatalytic activity.

Published: April 2019

AbstractMXene, a new class of 2D materials, has gained significant attention owing to its attractive electrical conductivity, tunable work function, and metallic nature for wide range of applications. Herein, delaminated few layered Ti3C2Tx MXene contacted Si solar cells with a maximum power conversion efficiency (PCE) of ≈11.5% under AM1.5G illumination are demonstrated. The formation of an Ohmic junction of the metallic MXene to n+‐Si surface efficiently extracts the photogenerated electrons from n+np+‐Si, decreases the contact resistance, and suppresses the charge carrier recombination, giving rise to excellent open‐circuit voltage and short‐circuit current density. The rapid thermal annealing process further improves the electrical contact between Ti3C2Tx MXene and n+‐Si surface by reducing sheet resistance, increasing electrical conductivity, and decreasing cell series resistance, thus leading to a remarkable improvement in fill factor and overall PCE. The work demonstrated here can be extended to other MXene compositions as potential electrodes for developing highly performing solar cells.

AbstractAutism (or autism spectrum disorder [ASD]) is an often disabling childhood neurologic condition of mostly unknown cause. It is commonly diagnosed at 3 or 4 years of age. We explored whether there was an association of any analytes measured by newborn screening tests with a later diagnosis of ASD. A database was compiled of 3–5 year‐old patients with any ASD diagnosis in the Texas Medicaid system in 2010–2012. Two controls (without any ASD diagnosis) were matched to each case by infant sex and birth year/month. All study subjects were linked to their 2007–2009 birth and newborn screening laboratory records, including values for 36 analytes or analyte ratios. We examined the association of analytes/ratios with a later diagnosis of ASD. Among 3,258 cases and 6,838 controls, seven analytes (e.g., 17‐hydroxyprogesterone, acylcarnitines) were associated with a later ASD diagnosis. In this exploratory study, an ASD diagnosis was associated with 7 of 36 newborn screening analytes/ratios. These findings should be replicated in other population‐based datasets.
Commentaries on field‐laboratory collaborations in primatology: Introduction to a special section of the American Journal of Primatology
Authors: Norconk Marilyn A. 
Published: April 2019

AbstractFinding better approaches to bridge field and laboratory primate research was identified as an important goal in a recent (2017) member survey of the American Society of Primatologists. Collaborative field‐captive research was identified by >60% of respondents as somewhat or very underrepresented in the Society. In this introductory essay for a special section of American Journal of Primatology, I review commonalities and differences in the papers that were requested from field‐captive primate collaborative teams. Each team approached important primate biology or welfare problems from different perspectives. The five commentaries in this section addressed how the collaborations began, scientific benefits that accrued, and insights or challenges that researchers faced in the collaboration. Despite the fact that the specific fields of inquiry were different (conservation genetics, chimpanzee captive welfare, environmental physiology, feeding biology, and reproductive physiology), the commentaries converged on the concept that an intentional, interdisciplinary approach, that included field observations and experiments informed by laboratory expertise, were essential to achieving innovative results.
