description: In order to study the hypercalcified sponges in reefal deposits of the Nayband Formation in Lut Block, the Garm Ab section near the village of Mehran Kushk, located about 20 km northeast of Ferdows city, was sampled. Eight horizons of reefal limestone beds are exposed in this section. The most important reef builders are hypercalcified sponges with some representatives of hexactinellids, scleractinian corals and other reef organisms. The field and lab-observations on rock units, sedimentary facies and faunal assemblages indicate the middle Norian-Rhaetian as the age of the reef horizons. Twenty-three sponge taxa, including 15 of the chambered sphinctozoans, 2 of hexactinellids sponges and 8 non-chambered inozoan were identified. The majority of recognized sponges are reported from the Nayband Formation from the other localities in central Iran. One new species identified as Cryptocoelia maxima n. sp. was recovered and is described here.

description: Background: The global spread of the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) epidemic has clearly shown the importance of considering the long-range transportation networks in the understanding of emerging diseases outbreaks. The introduction of extensive transportation data sets is therefore an important step in order to develop epidemic models endowed with realism. Methods: We develop a general stochastic meta-population model that incorporates actual travel and census data among 3 100 urban areas in 220 countries. The model allows probabilistic predictions on the likelihood of country outbreaks and their magnitude. The level of predictability offered by the model can be quantitatively analyzed and related to the appearance of robust epidemic pathways that represent the most probable routes for the spread of the disease. Results: In order to assess the predictive power of the model, the case study of the global spread of SARS is considered. The disease parameter values and initial conditions used in the model are evaluated from empirical data for Hong Kong. The outbreak likelihood for specific countries is evaluated along with the emerging epidemic pathways. Simulation results are in agreement with the empirical data of the SARS worldwide epidemic. Conclusions: The presented computational approach shows that the integration of long-range mobility and demographic data provides epidemic models with a predictive power that can be consistently tested and theoretically motivated. This computational strategy can be therefore considered as a general tool in the analysis and forecast of the global spreading of emerging diseases and in the definition of containment policies aimed at reducing the effects of potentially catastrophic outbreaks.

description: Odontomyia sp. (Diptera: Stratiomyidae)
 Another family of flies belonging to the Brachycera are the soldier flies, Stratiomyidae, a rather diverse family, whose larvae are often aquatic. One species belonging to the genus Nemotelus along with a species of Odontomyia were recorded from the Sharjah Emirate (Howarth 2006, Howarth and Gillett 2008). The latter is the most speciose and cosmopolitan genus in the family and contains well over 200 species that are often found on flowers. The larvae are aquatic and feed on algae at the margins of fresh water (Bayless 2008).
 Conclusions
 Four species are presented as new records for the UAE (Julodis candida Holyński, 1996, Capnodis excisa Menetries, 1848, Pseudocastalia arabica (Gestro, 1877), Mantispa nana (Navás, 1912), along with the record of a new genus (Atractocerus). Other relatively new records are discussed to illustrate the value of private collections. Within any population, some individuals will have a much greater awareness and appreciation of the natural world than the majority. Some of these individuals are drawn to particular groups of organisms and in order to make better sense out of the startling biodiversity that nature displays, they may begin to obtain specimens and form a collection. Such private collections have been historically of great importance and many such collections, both great and large, have either been bequeathed to or purchased by museums. To a very large extent, what were once private collections have now become the basis for the great museum collections and are regionally, nationally and internationally important resources for research and understanding of biodiversity and for planning and executing conservation measures aimed at preserving at least part of Earth’s dwindling natural habitats.
However, far from having just a historical significance, private collections and private collecting still hold an ongoing importance both in the unraveling of biodiversity patterns and in the fight towards effective conservation of habitats and species. In this article, the authors have drawn attention to two aspects of this importance as they relate to one small Middle Eastern country that is caught up in a spiraling process of urban development and property boom. The lesson is that both material and data still housed in old private collections and ongoing private collecting will continue to provide information vital to biodiversity conservation for a long time to come.

description: The recent discovery of a spiral feature in $Z-V_Z$ phase plane in the solar neighborhood implies that the Galactic disk has been remarkably affected by a dwarf galaxy passing through it some hundreds of millions of years ago. Using 429,500 LAMOST K giants stars, we show that the spiral feature exits not only in the solar vicinity; it also extends to about 15 kpc from the Galactic center, and then disappears beyond this radius. Moreover, we find that when the spiral features in a plot of $V_ϕ$ as a function of position in the $Z-V_Z$ plane, at various Galactocentric radii, are re-mapped to $R-Z$ plane, the spiral can explain well the observed asymmetric velocity substructures. This is evidence that the phase spiral features are the same as the bulk motions found in previous as well as this work. Test-particle simulations and N-body simulations show that an encounter with a dwarf galaxy a few hundred million years ago will induce a perturbation in the Galactic disk. In addition, we find that the last impact of Sgr dSph can also contribute to the flare. As a consequence of the encounter, the distribution function of disk stars at a large range of radii is imprinted by the gravitational perturbation.

description: Let $A$ be a $C^*$-algebra acting on a Hilbert space $H$, $σ:A\to B(H)$ be a linear mapping and $d:A\to B(H)$ be a $σ$-derivation. Generalizing the celebrated theorem of Sakai, we prove that if $σ$ is a continuous $*$-mapping then $d$ is automatically continuous. In addition, we show the converse is true in the sense that if $d$ is a continuous $*-σ$-derivation then there exists a continuous linear mapping $Σ:A\to B(H)$ such that $d$ is $*-Σ$-derivation. The continuity of the so-called $*-(σ,τ)$-derivations is also discussed.

description: Seep-carbonates are generally related to hydrocarbon seepage on continental margins. Modern cold seeps are abundant in actively deforming tectonic settings, suggesting that tectonics is one of the major controlling factor on fluid emissions. Hydrocarbon seepages areconsidered major geological sources of atmospheric methane, one of the most important green-house gases, and have also been related to climate changes. However, the interplaybetween tectonics and climate change in forcing seepage is not clearly understood. Miocene seep-carbonates, formed in a collisional settingsuch as that ofthe Salsomaggiore area of the Northern Apennines(Italy), provide an opportunitytoassess accumulation and release of methane in response to tectonics and climate change along a convergent margin. Thestudiedseep-carbonatesarerelated to fluid emissions of various intensities coeval with tectonic pulses.Newplanktonic foraminiferal biostratigraphic datareveals thatdepositionof these seep-carbonatesislate Serravallian-early Tortonian in age and partiallycoeval with the Miller’s global cooling event Mi 5 (as used below). These seep-carbonates were deposited in two stages with different seepage modes. During the first stage, local tectonic pulses at the onset of the Mi5 event may have producedslow seepage, whereas during the second stage regional tectonics and more extreme climatic conditions (coolest peak of Mi5 event) may have resulted inafast and more intense seepage as suggested by increasing occurrence of chaotic facies. In the Salsomaggiore Ridge, tectonics and the Mi5 cooling event actively concurredtothe deposition of seep-carbonates in both stages.

MIO-PLIOCENE CRUSTACEANS FROM THE CANARY ISLANDS, SPAIN

description: There are few previous references to fossil crustaceans for the Neogene marine layers of the Canary Islands (Spain). The Mio-Pliocene marine sedimentary layers in the eastern islands (Gran Canaria, Fuerteventura and Lanzarote) were previously characterised by the presence of numerous fossil fauna, mainly anthozoans and molluscs, which correspond to an equatorial-typepalaeoclimate, warmer than the present climate. This Mio-Pliocene transition dated between 9.3 and 4.1 Ma. In this paper, 12 fossil crustacean taxa are identified and classified, including decapods and barnacles: Balanus concavus Bronn, 1831, Balanus spongicola Brown, 1827, Balanus perforatus Bruguière, 1789, Chenolobia testudinaria Linnè, 1767, Tetraclita cf. rubescens Darwin, 1854, Callianassa matsoni Rathbun, 1935, Callianassa sp., Upogebia sp, Eriphia aff. verrucosa (Forskal, 1775) , Maja sp., Scylla michelini Milne-Edwards, 1861 and Ocypode sp. Some of these taxa mean new references for the Atlantic islands and the North African Atlantic and definitely enlarge the palaeographic distribution of Neogene crustaceans beyond the Mediterranean region, extending it to the North Atlantic. Particularly significant are the presence of Tetraclita cf. rubescens ,this being the first reported fossil occurrence of this barnacle outside the North America Pacific coasts, and Chenolobia testudinaria , indicating for the first time the existence of marine turtles in these islands during the Neogene. These results are coherent with previous research hypothesising the existence of a flow of surface water between the Pacific and Atlantic in the Mio-Pliocene transition (Central American Seaway, CAS) which explains the arrival of organisms, in larval stage, from Central America to the Canary Islands.

description: We update critical reviews of sites bearing hominin remains and/or tools from Europe (including the Balkans and Greece) and conclude that the only compelling evidence of hominin presence in these regions was after ~0.9 Ma (million-years-ago), bracketed by the end of the Jaramillo subchron (0.99 Ma) and the Brunhes-Matuyama boundary (0.78 Ma) and straddling the climatic late Early Pleistocene revolution (EPR) at the onset of enhanced glacial/interglacial activity that reverberated worldwide. Europe may have become initially populated during the EPR when, possibly for the first time in the Pleistocene, vast and exploitable ecosystems were generated along the Danube-Po Gateway. These newly formed settings, characterized by lowlands with open grasslands and reduced woody cover during glacial/interglacial transitions, represented the closest analogues to the savanna environment to which several large mammals linked with hominins in a common food web were adapted. It was only after stable and vast grassland-savanna environments opened that large mammals (e.g. megaherbivores) could expand into Europe along the Danube-Po Gateway in conjunction with the attached food web to which hominins belonged.

description: Motivated by some results in classical differential geometry, we give a constructive procedure for building up a connection over a (twisted) tensor product of two algebras, starting from connections defined on the factors. The curvature for the product connection is explicitly calculated, and shown to be independent of the choice of the twisting map and the module twisting map used to define the product connection. As a consequence, we obtain that a product of two flat connections is again a flat connection. We show that our constructions also behaves well with respect to bimodule structures, namely being the product of two bimodule connections again a bimodule connection. As an application of our theory, all the product connections on the quantum plane are computed.

description: Here we described the remains of Canis lupus from the bed 8 of Avetrana karst filling (Late Pleistocene; Taranto, Southern Italy). The studied specimens are larger than those collected from the early Late Pleistocene Apulian localities and those referred to the recent Italian wolf. Moreover, the remains from Avetrana are morphometrically close to Canis lupus maximus from France and to C. lupus collected from Central and Northern Italian localities, chronologically related to MIS 2 and MIS 3. Morphologically, the studied specimens slightly differ from both C. l. maximus and other Pleistocene Apulian wolves. The dimensional differences between the Avetrana wolves and those collected from the other early Late Pleistocene Apulian localities could be explained through a spread of a large-sized morphotype from the Northern Italy.

description: We show that the Plebanski-Demianski spacetime persists as a solution of General Relativity when the theory is supplemented with both, a conformally coupled scalar theory and with quadratic curvature corrections. The quadratic terms are of two types and are given by quadratic combinations of the Riemann tensor as well as a higher curvature interaction constructed with a scalar field which is conformally coupled to quadratic terms in the curvature. The later is built in terms of a four-rank tensor $S_{μν}^{\ \ λρ}$ that depends on the Riemann tensor and the scalar field, and that transforms covariantly under local Weyl rescallings. Due to the generality of the Plebanski-Demianski family, several new hairy black hole solutions are obtained in this higher curvature model. We pay particular attention to the C-metric spacetime and the stationary Taub-NUT metric, which in the hyperbolic case can be analytically extended leading to healthy, asymptotically AdS, wormhole configurations. Finally, we present a new general model for higher derivative, conformally coupled scalars, depending on an arbitrary function and that we have dubbed Conformal K-essence. We also construct spherically symmetric hairy black holes for these general models.

description: $α$-CoV$_{2}$O$_{6}$ consists of $j_{\mathrm{eff}}={1 \over 2}$ Ising spins located on an anisotropic triangular motif with magnetization plateaus in an applied field. We combine neutron diffraction with low temperature magnetization to investigate the magnetic periodicity in the vicinity of these plateaus. We find these steps to be characterized by metastable and spatially short-range ($ξ\sim$ 10 $Å$) magnetic correlations with antiphase boundaries defining a local periodicity of $\langle \hat{T}^{2} \rangle =\ \uparrow \downarrow$ to $\langle \hat{T}^{3} \rangle =\ \uparrow \uparrow \downarrow$, and $\langle \hat{T}^{4} \rangle=\ \uparrow \uparrow \downarrow \downarrow$ or $\uparrow \uparrow \uparrow \downarrow$ spin arrangements. This shows the presence of spatially short range and metastable/hysteretic, commensurate magnetism in Ising magnetization steps.

description: The industrial realization of graphene has so far been limited by challenges related to the quality, reproducibility, and high process temperatures required to manufacture graphene on suitable substrates. We demonstrate that epitaxial graphene can be grown on transition metal treated 6H-SiC(0001) surfaces, with an onset of graphitization starting around $450-500^\circ\text{C}$. From the chemical reaction between SiC and thin films of Fe or Ru, $\text{sp}^{3}$ carbon is liberated from the SiC crystal and converted to $\text{sp}^{2}$ carbon at the surface. The quality of the graphene is demonstrated using angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy and low-energy electron diffraction. Furthermore, the orientation and placement of the graphene layers relative to the SiC substrate is verified using angle-resolved absorption spectroscopy and energy-dependent photoelectron spectroscopy, respectively. With subsequent thermal treatments to higher temperatures, a steerable diffusion of the metal layers into the bulk SiC is achieved. The result is graphene supported on magnetic silicide or optionally, directly on semiconductor, at temperatures ideal for further large-scale processing into graphene based device structures.

description: New results on the time variation of the radial abundance gradients in the galactic disk are presented on the basis of four different samples of planetary nebulae. These comprise both smaller, homogeneous sets of data, and larger but non-homogeneous samples. Four different chemical elements are considered, namely, O, S, Ar, and Ne. Other objects such as open clusters, cepheids and HII regions are also taken into account. Our analysis support our earlier conclusions in the sense that, on the average, the radial abundance gradients have flattened out during the last 6 to 8 Gyr, with important consequences for models of the chemical evolution of the Galaxy.

description: Recreational fishing is a highly socio-ecological process. Although recreational fisheries are self-regulating and resilient, changing anthropogenic pressure drives these fisheries to overharvest and collapse. Here, we evaluate the effect of demographic and environmental stochasticity for a social-ecological two-species fish model. In the presence of noise, we find that an increase in harvesting rate drives a critical transition from high-yield/low-price fisheries to low-yield/high-price fisheries. To calculate stochastic trajectories for demographic noise, we derive the master equation corresponding to the model and perform Monte-Carlo simulation. Moreover, the analysis of probabilistic potential and mean first-passage time reveals the resilience of alternative steady states. We also describe the efficacy of a few generic indicators in forecasting sudden transitions. Furthermore, we show that incorporating social norms on the model allows moderate fish density to maintain despite higher harvesting rates. Overall, our study highlights the occurrence of critical transitions in a stochastic social-ecological model and suggests ways to mitigate them.

description: We present measurements of the clustering properties of bright ($L>L_{*}$) z$\sim$4 Lyman Break Galaxies (LBGs) selected from the Oxford-Dartmouth Thirty Degree Survey (ODT). We describe techniques used to select and evaluate our candidates and calculate the angular correlation function which we find best fitted by a power law, $ω(θ)=A_{w}θ^{-β}$ with $A_{w}=15.4$ (with $θ$ in arcseconds), using a constrained slope of $β=0.8$. Using a redshift distribution consistent with photometric models, we deproject this correlation function and find a comoving $r_{0}=11.4_{-1.9}^{+1.7}$ h$_{100}^{-1}$ Mpc in a $Ω_m=0.3$ flat $Λ$ cosmology for $i_{AB}\leq24.5$. This corresponds to a linear bias value of $b=8.1_{-2.6}^{+2.0}$ (assuming $σ_{8}=0.9$). These data show a significantly larger $r_{0}$ and $b$ than previous studies at $z\sim4$. We interpret this as evidence that the brightest LBGs have a larger bias than fainter ones, indicating a strong luminosity dependence for the measured bias of an LBG sample. Comparing this against recent results in the literature at fainter (sub-$L_{*}$) limiting magnitudes, and with simple models describing the relationship between LBGs and dark matter haloes, we discuss the implications on the implied environments and nature of LBGs. It seems that the brightest LBGs (in contrast with the majority sub-$L_{*}$ population), have clustering properties, and host dark matter halo masses, that are consistent with them being progenitors of the most massive galaxies today.

description: In this study, red mud was used as a support for LaFeO3 to prepare a synergistic catalyst (LaFeO3-RM) via ultrasonic-assisted sol-gel method for the enhanced removal of methylene blue (MB) assisted with bisulfite (BS) in an aqueous solution. The Characterization of SEM and BET indicated that comparing with the non-porous structure of bulk LaFeO3, LaFeO3-RM exhibited high surface area and obvious porous structure with a higher pore volume (i.e. 10 times). XRD, XPS and FTIR revealed that in addition to dispersing LaFeO3 particles, the support of porous RM also increased Fe oxidation activity, oxygen-containing functional groups and chemically adsorbed oxygen (from 44.3% to 90.3%) of LaFeO3-RM which enhanced the catalytic performance in structure and chemical composition. MB was removed through the synergistic effect of adsorption and catalysis with MB molecule was first absorbed on the surface and then degraded. The pseudo-first-order kinetic constant of LaFeO3-RM was 6 times than that of LaFeO3. Fe(III) in LaFeO3-RM played a key role in the activation of BS to produce SO4·- by the redox cycle of Fe(III)/Fe(II). With the application of LaFeO3-RM as a promising low-cost synergistic catalyst for the activation of BS under neutral condition, this work provides a new approach of using porous industrial waste to improve the catalytic performance of LaFeO3.

HD 12098 and other results from NainiTal-Cape survey
Creators: name: Girish, V.
Publisher: name: arXiv

description: NainiTal-Cape Survey is a survey started with the aim of searching for new rapidly oscillating Ap stars in the northern hemisphere and has discovered one mono-periodic roAp star HD 12098. The frequency separation of HD 12098 suggests a rotation period of 5.5 day for the star. The discovery of roAp oscillations in HD 12098 and the results of the multi-site observation campaign organized to resolve the ambiguity in the determination of the rotation period of HD 12098 is presented. The results of non oscillating Ap stars discovered in the survey and two promising roAp candidates HD 17431 and HD 207561 are also presented. If confirmed, the variability in HD 207561 will make it the first Am star showing roAp type rapid variability.

description: We investigate the impact of the nonzero neutrino splitting and elastic neutrino-nucleon collisions on fast neutrino oscillations. Our calculations confirm that a small neutrino mass splitting and the neutrino mass hierarchy have very little effect on fast oscillation waves. We also demonstrate explicitly that fast oscillations remain largely unaffected for the time/distance scales that are much smaller than the neutrino mean free path but are damped on larger scales. This damping originates from both the direct modification of the dispersion relation of the oscillation waves in the neutrino medium and the flattening of the neutrino angular distributions over time. Our work suggests that fast neutrino oscillation waves produced near the neutrino sphere can propagate essentially unimpeded which may have ramifications in various aspects of the supernova physics.

STRATIGRAPHY AND FUSULINIDS OF THE MOSCOVIAN STAGE (MIDDLE CARBONIFEROUS) IN THE SOUTHWESTERN DARVAZ (PAMIR)
Creators: name: JA. LEVEN, ERNST
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 1998

description: A refined subdivision, based on fusulinids, of the Moscovian stage in southwestern Darvaz is proposed. Seven local zones, three in the Lower Moscovian substage and four in the Upper Moscovian substage were established, based on investigations of three stratigraphic sections. The zones were correlated with those of the Eastern European and Middle Asian stratigraphic schemes. One hundred and forty-three species and subspecies, which belong to 29 genera and 13 families of fusulinids, were identified in the Middle Carboniferous of Darvaz. Among them, one genus (Undatafusulina) and 16 species, i.e. Taitzehoella compacta, Ovatella panjensis, Aljutovella darvasica, Undatafusulina asiatica, Citronites panjensis, C. reticulatus, Beedeina darvasica, B. dutkevichi, Putrella admiranda, Hemifusulina orientalis, Fusulinella (Moellerites) subundulata, F. (M.) jucunda, F. (M.) orientalis, F.(Fusulinella) crassitectoria, F. (F.) bogushi, and F. (F.) pamirensis are new.

THE GEN. COMELICANIA FRECH, 1901 (BRACHIOPODA) FROM THE SOUTHERN ALPS: MORPHOLOGY AND CLASSIFICATION

Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano

description: Analysis of the internal characters, especially the cardinalia and brachidium, of the brachiopod Comelicania Frech from the Southern Alps, confirmed the attribution of this genus to the Superfam. Athyridoidea Davidson and provided a more complete taxonomic description of the Fam. Comelicaniidae Merla. This family includes two genera which differ in the morphology of their cardinalia, i.e. Gruntallina Waterhouse & Gupta, type-species Gruntallina triangularis (Grunt) from the lower Dorashamian of Transcaucasia and Comelicania, type-species Comelicania megalotis (Stache) from the uppermost Bellerophon Fm. of the Southern Alps. The study of a collection composed of more than a hundred specimens highlighted a broad variability of the morphological characters and a pattern of ontogenetic development which demonstrates that classification at the species level is possible only when using mature specimens. Taxonomic revision at the specific level reduced the eleven species of Comelicania from the Southern Alps, described by previous authors, to: C. megalotis (Stache) and C. haueri (Stache). In addition a new species, C. merlai, which characterises the upper Comelicania beds, is proposed.

description: Transit searches have uncovered Earth-size planets orbiting so close to their host star that their surface should be molten, so-called lava planets. We present idealized simulations of the atmosphere of lava planet K2-141b and calculate the return flow of material via circulation in the magma ocean. We then compare how pure Na, SiO, or SiO$_2$ atmospheres would impact future observations. The more volatile Na atmosphere is thickest followed by SiO and SiO$_2$, as expected. Despite its low vapour pressure, we find that a SiO$_2$ atmosphere is easier to observe via transit spectroscopy due to its greater scale height near the day-night terminator and the planetary radial velocity and acceleration are very high, facilitating high dispersion spectroscopy. The special geometry that arises from very small orbits allows for a wide range of limb observations for K2-141b. After determining the magma ocean depth, we infer that the ocean circulation required for SiO steady-state flow is only $10^{-4}$ m/s while the equivalent return flow for Na is several orders of magnitude greater. This suggests that a steady-state Na atmosphere cannot be sustained and that the surface will evolve over time.

title: An interior-point trust-funnel algorithm for nonlinear optimization using a squared-violation feasibility measure

description: We present an interior-point trust-funnel algorithm for solving large-scale nonlinear optimization problems. The method is based on an approach proposed by Gould and Toint (Math. Prog., 122(1):155-196, 2010) that focused on solving equality constrained problems. Our method, which is designed to solve problems with both equality and inequality constraints, achieves global convergence guarantees by combining a trust-region methodology with a funnel mechanism. The prominent features of our algorithm are that (i) the subproblems that define each search direction may be solved approximately, (ii) criticality measures for feasibility and optimality aid in determining which subset of computations will be performed during each iteration, (iii) no merit function or filter is used, (iv) inexact sequential quadratic optimization steps may be computed when advantageous, and (v) it may be implemented matrix-free so that derivative matrices need not be formed or factorized so long as matrix-vector products with them can be performed. This variant uses the square of the violation as a feasibility measure.
Self-gravitating branes of codimension 4 in Lovelock gravity

description: We construct a familly of exact solutions of Lovelock equations describing codimension four branes with discrete symmetry in the transverse space. Unlike what is known from pure Einstein gravity, where such brane solutions of higher codimension are singular, the solutions we find, for the complete Lovelock theory, only present removable singularities. The latter account for a localised tension-like energy-momentum tensor on the brane, in analogy with the case of a codimension two self-gravitating cosmic string in pure Einstein gravity. However, the solutions we discuss present two main distinctive features : the tension of the brane receives corrections from the induced curvature of the brane's worldsheet and, in a given Lovelock theory, the spectrum of possible values of the tension is discrete. These solutions provide a new framework for the study of higher codimension braneworlds.

description: In this work we discuss extensions of the pioneering analysis by Dzyaloshinskii and Larkin of correlation functions for one-dimensional Fermi systems, focusing on the effects of quasiparticle relaxation enabled by a nonlinear dispersion. Throughout the work we employ both, the weakly interacting Fermi gas picture and nonlinear Luttinger liquid theory to describe attenuation of excitations and explore the fermion-boson duality between both approaches. Special attention is devoted to the role of spin-exchange processes, effects of interaction screening, and integrability. Thermalization rates for electron- and hole-like quasiparticles, as well as the decay rate of collective plasmon excitations and the momentum space mobility of spin excitations are calculated for various temperature regimes. The phenomenon of spin-charge drag is considered and the corresponding momentum transfer rate is determined. We further discuss how momentum relaxation due to several competing mechanisms, viz. triple electron collisions, electron-phonon scattering, and long-range inhomogeneities affect transport properties, and highlight energy transfer facilitated by plasmons from the perspective of the inhomogeneous Luttinger liquid model. Finally, we derive the full matrix of thermoelectric coefficients at the quantum critical point of the first conductance plateau transition, and address magnetoconductance in ballistic semiconductor nanowires with strong Rashba spin-orbit coupling.

description: Planktonic foraminifera from one Atlantic Ocean (Site 397) and five Mediterranean sequences of middle to late Miocene age were investigated. The aim of the research was to refine the biostratigraphy of the Serravallian to early Tortonian interval and, since the recent literature provides no general consensus, to check the range of Neogloboquadrina acostaensis (Blow) and Paragloborotalia siakensis (Le Roy). Examination of planktonic foraminifera identified a succession of events which is, in part, new in the Mediterranean area, and documented an overlap in the distribution of N. acostaensis and P.lia siakensis. Based on the new data, the zonal scheme for the Serravallian to early Tortonian interval proposed by Iaccarino and Salvatorini (1982) and Iaccarino (1985) was emended. In particular, it was ascertained that the first occurrence (FO) of N. acostaensis falls in the upper part of the Serravallian, well before the last occurrence (LO) of P.lia siakensis. The new zonation was calibrated with the calcareous nannofossil zonation and the geomagnetic polarity time scale. In light of these new data, the events closest to the base of the Rio Castellania-Rio Mazzapiedi-Tortonian type-section are interpreted to be the LO of P.lia siakensis, the first common occurrence (FCO) of N. acostaensis, and the FO of Discoaster hamatus.. Therefore, the use of these events in selecting the GSSP of the Serravalian/Tortonian boundary is recommended.

description: Carbon nanotube (CNT)-reinforced nickel matrix composites with different concentrations were processed by high pressure torsion (HPT). We thoroughly characterized the CNT agglomerates' spatial arrangement at different stages of deformation in order to extract information valuable for the optimization of the processing parameters and to elucidate the mechanisms involved during the processing of particle reinforced metal matrix composites by HPT. From the electron micrographs taken on the radial direction with increasing equivalent strains, we observed that CNT agglomerates debond by relative sliding between CNT during HPT, becoming spherical at higher stages of deformation. Furthermore, we introduced a model for the prediction of the minimum strain required for a homogeneous distribution of a second phase during HPT, which can be correlated to the material's three-dimensional structure and agrees well with the experimental data.
