description: In September, 2021, we obtained ~1100 UBVRcIc CCD observations of the dwarf nova with coordinates RA = 23h11m10.9s; Dec = +01deg30'03" (J2000) during its outburst. Our analysis of this photometric series showed that the studied variable star had superhumps at stage "B"; two rebrightenings were detected after the end of the outburst. The mass component ratio was estimated, q = 0.06; color temperature variations during the outburst were studied. The variable is a typical WZ Sge star with a short superhump period, 0.0516d. The detected period is close to the lower limit for the WZ Sge variables.

В результате анализа этого фотометрического ряда установлено, что изученная переменная звезда демонстрировала сверхгорбы на стадии "B"; после конца вспышки наблюдались два повторных поярчания. Оценено отношение масс компонентов, q = 0.06; изучен изменения цветовой температуры во время вспышки. Переменная - типичная звезда подтипа WZ Sge с коротким периодом сверхгорбов, 0.0516d. Выявленный период близок к нижнему пределу для переменных типа WZ Sge.

title: PREDATORS AND PREYS: A CASE HISTORY FOR SAURICHTHYS (COSTASAURICHTHYS) COSTASQUAMOSUS RIEPPEL, 1985 FROM THE LADINIAN OF LOMBARDY (ITALY)

description: A large specimen of Saurichthys (Costasaurichthys) costasquamosus from the lower Ladinian of the Northern Grigna mountain is described. It is an incomplete specimen, lacking the caudal region, and showing gut content. This latter consists of totally scattered remains of at least two specimens of adult Ctenognathichthys bellottii, a medium size fish quite common in this fossil assemblage. Saurichthys has been always considered an active predator on small fishes, but it cannot be the case for this specimen, with remains in the gut are totally disarticulated and evenly scattered all along the abdomen. Scavenging on floating carcasses is proposed, the hypothesis being also supported by the common preservation of Ctenognathichthys as incomplete individuals. Although the Saurichthys specimen shows some ‘in situ’ disarticulation, caudal region elements are totally missing on the slab yielding the anterior part of the fish. As for other large Saurichthys specimens from the same site, it is supposed that this is the result of a predation by a much larger marine organism, possibly an ichthyosaur.

description: The structural setting and the stratigraphy of the Early to Middle Triassic sedimentary succession exposed in the western part of the Aghdarband window (Kopeh Dag, NE Iran) is described. Six stratigraphic sections in the Sefid-Kuh Limestone, Nazar-Kardeh Formation and Sina Formation have been studied in the tectonic units 1a and 2. The lithostratigraphy is revised, with bio-chronostratigraphic constrain provided by conodonts and ammonoids. The new Olenekian ammonoid genus Megatirolitesis erected. It is based on species thus far known only in Mangyshlak (West Kazakhstan) but it is occurs also in the Sefid-Kuh Limestone.The evolution of the Lower Triassic carbonate ramp of the Sefid-Kuh Limestone, persisted in the Middle Anisian, with a three-stage development (Sefid-Kuh 1, 2 and 3 members) separated by drowning and onset of siliciclastics. The last stage is in part coeval with the Middle Anisian basinal Nazarkardeh Formation.The unconformity-bounded, three-stage development of the carbonate ramp documents that in the Aghdarband Basin the tectonic control over sedimentation started already in the Olenekian, since the onset of the marine transgression. The transgression of the Ladinian Sina Formation sealed a complex morphology resulting from the uplift and erosion of the Middle Anisian units. A new paleogeographic position along the southern Laurasia margin is propsed for the Triassic Aghdarband Basin. Based on the paleobiogeographic affinity of the Olenekian ammonoid occurences, we suggest that the Aghdarband Basin was located in a back-arc position in close connection with Mangyshlak (West Kazakhstan) and Tuarkyr (Turkmenistan), passing northwestward to a large epicontinental basin extending to the Donbass area. At least during the Olenekian the Aghdarband Basin had no direct connection with the Nakhlak Basin, which was proably located in a different intra-arc or more probably fore-arc region with respect to the Palaeotethys subduction-related Triassic arc.

description: Myctophid otoliths are the most common fossil otoliths to be found in Neogene deep water sediments below approximately 200 m depositional depth. The southeastern part of Japan is particularly rich in such locations. Here we describe myctophid otoliths from late Pliocene to early Pleistocene locations on Okinawa, Shikoku and central Honshu and review previous publications. These faunas represent the tropical to subtropical faunal zone, which was established as the “Kakegawa Fauna” based on molluscs. A total of 37 species are recognized by means of otoliths in the family Myctophidae and one in the family Neoscopelidae. Two species are recorded in open nomenclature, 23 as persistent extant species and 12 extinct species, thereof 7 new. The new species are: Diaphus caurus, Diaphus endoi, Diaphus kakegawaensis, Diaphus nafpaktitisi, Diaphus noboriensis, Symbolophorus moriguchii and Notoscopelus praejaponicus. Two very large myctophid otoliths (>8 mm length) from the putative Piacenzian of Fiji are also described, one being a new species - Diaphus grebneffi - representing the largest by far otolith associated with the So-group of species in the genus so far known. The myctophid otolith assemblage is characterized by an abundance of large specimens (>5 mm length) which certainly derived from fully adult fishes and represents the biggest association of its kind described so far from the fossil record of the northern Pacific. Its composition is interpreted for stratigraphic and environmental purposes. The occurrence of a few, rare species with links to coeval finds in the Caribbean exemplify the potential of myctophid otoliths for supraregional biostratigraphic purposes. The comparison of the fossil assemblage with the distribution in the Recent supports the concept of a warm “Kakegawa Fauna” as established by molluscs and at the same time documents that certain tropical species reached further north during the late Pliocene than they do today.

Tuna management and UNCLOS : implementation of UNCLOS through the Forum Fisheries Agency
Creators: name: Aqorau, Transform
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Regional organisations have often played a catalytical role in developing regional ocean regimes that directly pertain to the peculiar needs and circumstances of a given region. As a response to the challenges imposed by the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the island States of the South Pacific region established the South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency, with the specific mandate to assist them manage the enormous tuna resource of the region. The thesis seeks to ascertain the extent to which those needs have been satisfied. The thesis begins with the hypothesis that the Forum Fisheries Agency has in fact fulfilled those needs. The analysis is based on inferences which are drawn from the functions and responsibilities of the Forum Fisheries Agency, and certain significant legal developments it has helped spawn. The thesis does not engage in a cost/benefit evaluation of the Forum Fisheries Agency because that is an issue best left to the purview of individual member States to determine. Two conclusions are drawn from the analysis. First, the Forum Fisheries Agency has met the needs of the island States. Secondly, through the Forum Fisheries Agency, the island States are implementing the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea.

description: Haemaphysalis hystricis Supino, 1897
 Haemaphysalis hystricis is a forest-dwelling species that has been found in Indonesia (the islands Sulawesi and Sumatra), Lao PDR, Myanmar, peninsular Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as in China, Hong Kong, northwest India, Sri Lanka, Taiwan and the Ryukyu Islands (Hoogstraal et al. 1965c; Tanskul and Inlao 1989; Geevarghese and Mishra 2011; Ernieenor et al. 2017). It occurs from low altitudes to over 2,000 m above sea level (Hoogstraal et al. 1965c). Adults are known to attack humans, dogs, and a variety of medium- to large-sized wild mammals, including boar, deer, and tiger (Hoogstraal et al. 1965b; Tanskul and Inlao 1989; Grassman et al. 2004). Limited collections are also known from buffalo and a large scimitar babbler (Pomatorhinus hypoleucos). Nymphs have been collected from humans, Asian palm civet (Paradoxurus hermaphroditus), ferret-badger, squirrels and the black rat, Rattus rattus, and both larvae and nymphs have been collected from barking deer and wild boar. Haemaphysalis hystricis is distributed in subtropical and temperate climate zones from sea level to at least 2,500 m (Hoogstraal et al. 1968b). This species has commonly been misidentified as Ha. birmaniae, Ha. bispinosa, Ha. nadchatrami or Ha. semermis. Conditions for laboratory culture are given in Fujisaki et al. (1976).
 All life history stages are described in Hoogstraal et al. (1965c) and Yamaguti et al. (1971).

description: Consistently sleeping 5 hours or less per night will increase the development of various health issues. Dihydromyricetin (DHM) could reduce oxidative stress and promote longevity, but its effectiveness in alleviating sleep deprivation remains unclear. Thus, we established a sleep-deprived Drosophila model by prolonged illumination, named light-prolonged Drosophila (LPD), to explore this problem. Results showed that DHM enhanced the sleep quality of the LPD and expanded their lifespan, by reducing their nocturnal activities, decreasing intestinal epithelial cell mortality, and restoring glucose and glutathione levels. Transcriptome analysis and RT-qPCR results showed that DHM has the potential to modulate Drosophila’s gut immunity and mitigate mitochondrial oxidative stress. Furthermore, we found that DHM can inhibit the expression of TIM, Pi3k, and TOR, then decrease Tsc1, while simultaneously promoting FoxO and Thor. In conclusion, DHM could be used as an effective intervention for enhancing sleep quality and counteracting the detrimental of sleep deprivation on lifespan.
title: Searching for a better segment: segmentation of student body through the use of online search data to improve university enrollment
Creators: name: Djuric, Vanja
Publisher: name: University of Liverpool Repository
Year: 2024

description: The University of Akron, a public higher education institution, located in Akron, Ohio, USA identified a problem regarding a decrease in enrollment and recognizes the importance of online marketing because of changes in consumer behavior, especially those that happened during the isolation due to COVID-19. The research aimed to develop a segmentation model that can be used based on consumer behavior online. Recent research findings have reinforced the importance of search query volume (SQV) data to create segments based on a given interest and better understand consumer behavior. Consequently, there is an ongoing practical need for and research interest in the effective use of search query for management decisions. To improve the use of search query data within an organization, companies have begun to put practices in place that analyze and forecast search queries data in the hope of achieving a better forecasting model. 

While this phenomenon has created a lot of interest, it has hardly been the subject of serious investigation guided by research questions and executed research methodologies. In particular, hardly any insights exist into the higher education use of search query data for better management of student enrollment. To explore such activities in a systematic way, this thesis turns the attention to the enrollment data within the University of Akron for identifying relevant patterns of student enrollment and linking them to search query volume. This is accomplished through the use of enrollment data obtained from the Institutional Research at the University of Akron, and action learning sets which serve as ways to gather feedback, collaboration, and direction based on research findings. 

To achieve the link between student enrollment data and search query volume data, relevant keywords are identified, and search query volume data is collected through the use of Google Trends. The results show that we can break down the prospective students based on their online search behavior and geo-locations. There are opportunities to optimize our marketing efforts on specific keywords based on the home location. It is also quite important to consider demographics associated with these keywords, as they tend to provide a better direction on what type of content should be associated with those search phrases. Men tend to look for content proving that the University and/or its programs are top or the best, while women are searching iii for benefits beyond being the best. But most importantly, it also provides an opportunity for the university to further improve its diversity efforts. Understanding which search phrases will provide a higher reach to men vs. women, allows us to make sure that we are balancing out our marketing efforts, and continuously increasing our reach to diverse groups of potential students.
Confiscating the proceeds of crime : the amendments to Canada's Criminal Code, their force and effect
Creators: name: German, Peter Maurice
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This thesis examines the amendments to Canada's Criminal Code which target the proceeds of crime by, inter alia, criminalizing money laundering and enabling the confiscation of assets. The amendments represent the central thrust of Canada's contribution in a global effort to stem the traffic in illicit drugs, Canada belatedly following the lead of the United States, Great Britain and Australia. In the thesis, I argue that the amendments go much further than earlier crime control initiatives and represent a paradigmatic shift from the traditional, single transaction, individual-oriented structure of criminal law to one which is both property-driven and premised upon multiple-transactions perpetrated by criminal organizations. The amendments focus on the proceeds of crime, as opposed to the offender, individual or corporate, their avowed purpose being to neutralize criminal organizations rather than punish offenders. The effectiveness of the amendments is inexorably tied to the speed by which criminal proceeds can be seized or restrained and thus they operate prospectively, in anticipation of a later conviction. In order to accomplish their objectives, the amendments draw upon concepts previously the preserve of the private law of contract and tort, introducing some which are foreign to the classic norms and traditions of criminal law and sentencing, both substantive and procedural. The thesis examines the amendments from both a textual and a Charter perspective. In so doing, considerable emphasis is accorded the presumption of innocence, a strong legitimating force in criminal law. Integral to the presumption is the Crown's burden of proof - beyond a reasonable doubt. The legislation's adoption of the civil balance of probabilities test is, therefore, considered its weakest link. Other aspects of the legislation give rise to interpretive and Charter challenges. The thesis also discusses the need for tracing mechanisms, mandatory financial transaction reporting, the development of a strike force approach to implementation and a sharing of proceeds by law enforcement agencies. Further, the thesis decries any use of the legislation as a tool for plea bargaining or to target petty criminals.
title: EARLY TITHONIAN DEEP-WATER COLONIZATION BY BENTHIC FORAMINIFERA IN THE MAGURA BASIN (PIENINY KLIPPEN BELT, WESTERN CARPATHIANS): A CLUE TO THE ORIGINS OF DEEP-WATER FORAMINIFERA.

Year: 2019

description: Deep-water benthic foraminifera were reported from lower Tithonian abyssal deposits lying above a barren interval of radiolarites in the Magura Basin (Western Carpathians). The analysis of morphogroups shows that the assemblage is represented by increased globular chambered morphogroups of both agglutinated and calcareous benthic foraminifera and planoconvex calcareous benthic foraminifera. The composition of the benthic foraminiferal assemblage points to a stressed setting particularly occurring in environments with increased organic flux and depleted oxygen in bottom and pore waters, as indicated by the scarcity of strictly epifaunal agglutinated foraminifera and the absence of strictly epifaunal calcareous benthic foraminifera. The assemblage is compared with Oxfordian – Tithonian assemblages reported from deep-water facies and shelf assemblages from the Boreal, Tethys and Atlantic realms.

Auslöser für die Gründung der Gruppe waren die zunehmenden parallel laufenden schulischen Reformen und die damit verbundene Frage, wie diese gleichzeitigen Reformprojekte erfolgreich verlaufen können. Der folgende Beitrag stellt in einem ersten Teil dar, wie es zur Gründung der interinstitutionellen PLG kam. Der zweite Teil beschreibt, inwiefern eine solche Gemeinschaft einen wichtigen Beitrag einer erfolgreichen Implementation schulischer Entwicklungsprozesse leisten kann, aber auch, wo Optimierungsbedarf besteht. In einem abschließenden Fazit wird kritisch diskutiert, ob (und wenn ja, wie) eine solche Zusammenarbeit als Vorbild für andere Gruppen dienen kann.» [202]

description: Major deserts do not necessarily consist of eolian dunes as quartz-rich as those of the Great Nafud, Rub’ al Khali, Sahara, and Mega-Kalahari sand seas accumulated in anorogenic settings of Arabia and Africa. The Karakum dune field of Turkmenistan is one of the several examples of central Asian deserts bound by recent or recently reactivated orogenic belts where eolian sand includes abundant sedimentary and subordinately metamorphic and volcanic lithic fragments. Feldspatho-litho-quartzose detrital modes and epidote-amphibole-garnet heavy-mineral suites of southern Karakum dune sand compare well with those in mountain branches of the Amu Darya, indicating provenance from the western Pamir mountains of Tajikistan in the east. Dunes closer to the Caspian Sea in the west contain additional carbonate or felsic volcanic grains which, together with decreasing heavy-mineral concentration and increasing ZTR indices, reveals local recycling of cover strata exposed in the Kopeh-Dagh and Balkhan zone. Our data suggest that the huge Amu Darya River, which in Plio-Pleistocene to historical times has repeatedly changed its course across Turkmenistan from westward toward the Caspian Sea to northward toward the Aral Sea, represents the major sediment source for the Karakum Desert. Together with the Taklamakan sand sea of the Tarim basin, the Ordos and adjacent deserts of northern China, and the Thal and Thar deserts of the western Himalayan foreland basin, the Karakum would thus represent another example of large dune field principally fed by one major fluvial feeder system.

CERN's ηₜ Signal and the Unified Theory of Informational Spin (TGU)
Creators: name: Matuchaki
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2025

description: This paper explores a groundbreaking convergence between experimental data from CERN and the theoretical framework of the Unified Theory of Informational Spin (TGU). On March 31, 2025, the CMS collaboration detected a highly coherent, pseudoscalar resonance at the top-antitop threshold — the ηₜ signal. Traditionally interpreted as a QCD-bound state, its behavior raises deeper questions about coherence, CP violation, and ultra-short-lived spin alignment.

Through the lens of TGU, this excess is reinterpreted not as a new particle, but as an emergent informational resonance — a fleeting structure born from the collapse and reorganization of the spin field under critical informational conditions. This coherence-driven emergence parallels the cosmological matter creation mechanisms previously described in the TGU framework, where gravitational waves disturb the spin lattice, allowing matter to crystallize from pure information.

With predictive power extending beyond the Standard Model, this perspective opens new paths in high-energy physics, suggesting that what we observe as particles might be transient expressions of universal informational harmonics — organized not by mass or force, but by coherence.

description: Η παγκόσμια ναυτιλία βρίσκεται σε ένα σταυροδρόμι που θα καθορίσει το μέλλον της και τη μετάβασή της στη νέα εποχή. Οι κλιμακούμενες κοινωνικές πιέσεις και οι κανονισμοί του Διεθνή Ναυτιλιακού Οργανισμού επιβάλλουν την παρουσία της ναυτιλίας που δεν επιβαρύνει το περιβάλλον, ενώ πρέπει ταυτόχρονα να στηρίζει το συνεχώς αυξανόμενο διεθνές εμπόριο και την ανάπτυξη της παγκόσμιας οικονομίας. Συνεπώς η αναζήτηση περιβαλλοντικά φιλικών και οικονομικά συμφερουσών λύσεων για τη ναυτιλία αποτελεί μια μόνιμη πρόκληση που συχνά εξελίσσεται υπό συνθήκες οικονομικής ύφεσης και υψηλών τιμών ναυτιλιακού καυσίμου. Η χρήση πλοίων μηδενικών εκπομπών και εναλλακτικών καυσίμων θα έχει αδιαμφισβήτητα οφέλη, ωστόσο η πρόκληση για τη ναυτιλία είναι να καταφέρει την ομαλή μετάβαση χωρίς υψηλό κόστος από το επίπεδο της έρευνας στην αγορά.

description: Brachiopods obtained from several Triassic localities in North Dobrogea, in Romania, are described. Upper Spathian and Aegean Hallstatt-type red limestones have been sampled in the Deşli Caira section, proposed as the GSSP for the base of the Anisian. The Bithynian brachiopods mostly originate from the Tubiphytes-microbial buildup in the Mahmudia quarry, and also from the Hallstatt-type limestones of Agighiol and Orta Bair. Their age estimates are supported by ammonoids collected from the same beds. The upper Spathian and Aegean assemblages of Deşli Caira consist of four rhynchonellids, with one genus and two species newly described, Ortarhynchia petersi gen. n. sp. n. and Austriellula iordanae sp. n. The Bithynian assemblages comprise the most diverse fauna, with 15 species, four species of which are newly described, Ortarhynchia petersi gen. n. sp. n., Piarorhynchella kittli sp. n., Ptychomentzelia dobrogeana sp. n. and P. simionescui sp. n. In the Tubiphytes facies of Mahmudia, the assemblage is numerically dominated by mentzeliids and dielasmatids, forming 84.8 % of the whole assemblage. Spiriferinids and rhynchonellids form the minor component. Instead, rhynchonellids prevail in the Hallstatt facies at Agighiol and Orta Bair. The assemblages described here are hardly comparable with those of the western Tethys. The Bithynian assemblage is very different from its equivalent described from the substage stratotype in Turkey. In North Dobrogea, the carbonate substrate and clear and agitated water supported an assemblage with high diversity. In contrast, in Bithynia, the brachiopod community dwelled on a softer and muddier substrate, with higher density and lower diversity. The locality of Aghdarband (Iran) also delivered Bithynian brachiopods, forming another different assemblage. The recovery and radiation of brachiopods after the P/T crisis is discussed in the framework of Palaeo-Tethyan palaeogeography, making comparisons with the South China localities.

description: After a small brachiopod fauna was published in 2010 from the Tortonian Sant’Agata Fossili Formation of Tetti Borelli (N Italy), two new and more numerous brachiopod collections turned up from this locality. The Roest Collection in the Naturalis Biodiversity Center (Leiden, the Netherlands), and the Pavia-Giuntelli Collection in the Department of Earth Sciences of Torino University (Torino, Italy) contain 199 and 131 specimens, respectively. Based on the study of these collections, the Tetti Borelli brachiopod fauna is now much better known and more diverse. Additionally to the previously described six species (Cryptopora lovisati, Eucalathis aff. tauriniensis, Megathiris detruncata, Joania aff. falunica, Megerlia truncata, Lacazella mediterranea), another four taxa have been found (Lingula sp., Terebratulina retusa, Joania cordata, Argyrotheca sp.), and a new Megathyrididae genus and species (Borellithyris gaetanii n. gen. n. sp.) has been discovered. Another new species (Eucalathis giulioi n. sp.) is introduced on the basis of a dorsal valve of the Roest Collection and a previously illustrated ventral valve from the Janssen Collection. This is the sixth known fossil Eucalathis species, most of which are described on the basis of a few specimens. The Tetti Borelli brachiopods are mostly resedimented with different degree of transport, but the minute rhynchonellide Cryptopora seems to be more or less autochthonous.

description: Upper Permian to Lower Triassic successions exposed in the Al Mamalih area, east of the Dead Sea, Jordan record the transition between the alluvial Umm Irna Formation (Upper Permian) and the overlying shallow marine Ma’in Formation (Lower Triassic). The Permian-Triassic boundary is constrained either within a hiatus represented by a sequence boundary between these formations or within ca 15 m of shallow marine beds overlying the boundary. Above the sequence boundary reddened, shallow-marine beds (Himara Member) mark the initial Triassic (presumed early Induan) marine transgression (Himara Member). Absence of both body fossils and vertical infaunal burrows indicates low-diversity, ecosystems following the Permian-Triassic extinction event. A gradational upward increase in grey, green and yellow siltstones beds (Nimra Member), accompanied by a concomitant increase in bioturbation (surface traces and infaunal vertical burrows), bivalves and brachiopods, stromatolites, conchostracans and lingulids in the lower part of the Nimra Member indicates colonisation of the substrate under shallow marine conditions during the recovery phase. Shallow-water carbonates in the Nimra Member yielded an abundant, low diversity assemblage of conodonts (e.g. Hd. aequabilis and H. agordina) and a foraminifera assemblage (Postcladella gr. kalhori-Earlandia spp.-Ammodiscus jordanensis n. sp.) that are interpreted as euryhaline recovery taxa that characterise the the mid-late Induan. Abundant new material has allowed revision of the conodont apparatus and the foraminifera include a new species Ammodiscus jordanensis n. sp. of Induan age. The discovery of the bivalves Claraia bittneri (C. aurita group) and Eumorphotis multiformis is worthy to note. Upper Permian alluvial lithofacies (Jordan) pass basinwards, about 50 km to the northwest, to coeval shallow marine siliciclastic and carbonates in the Negev and Mediterranean coast of Israel.

description: Upper intra- to supratidal laminites in the Norian Dolomia Principale of the Brenta Dolomites (Northern Italy) commonly consist of aphanitic and partially peloidal dolomite previously interpreted as very early diagenetic or penecontemporaneous. Re-examination of a sample prepared by focused ion beam milling through high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that dolomicrite crystals may consist of ca. 5-nm-sized nanocrystals characterized by imperfectly aligned orientation. A similar type of dolomite was found in clay-rich Carnian laminites of the Travenanzes Formation (Venetian Alps, Northern Italy) and was interpreted as indication of primary precipitation. The observation of nanocrystals in both the Dolomia Principale and the Travenanzes Formation allows hypothesizing that dolomite mud formed directly from solution via a non-classical pathway involving nucleation and aggregation of nano-particles. Domains of nanocrystalline dolomite in the Dolomia Principale are embedded within, or cemented by, calcian dolomite showing coherent lattice at the micrometre scale and a modulated structure under the TEM. This new finding provides the first evidence that one of the largest dolomite bodies occurring in the geological record, the Dolomia Principale, commenced with deposition of sediment, consisting of dolomite mud formed from solution via non-classical crystallization, and was partially affected by later pervasive diagenetic dolomitization. Based on these new observations we propose that further nano-scale studies are necessary to substantiate the hypothesis that the formation of large dolomite bodies characterized by abundant dolomicrite may have commenced by non-classical nucleation and growth processes. This approach may provide insight on non-actualistic conditions in ancient environments that may have differed, in their boundary conditions, from their modern analogues.

description: The purpose of this paper is to explore the potential for organising research beyond the traditional concepts of academic disciplines. Such an approach allows for the inclusion of a broader spectrum of perspectives to co-construct solutions in addressing grand challenges. To illustrate the above, this paper draws on collaborative autoethnographically (CAE) findings (Lapadat, 2017) from a European Union (E.U.) funded project focusing on Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) technologies in three E.U. countries.

La Logistica e l'Ambiente - Integrare le nuove tecnologie per rispondere alla sfida del cambiamenti ambientali

description: Quando si parlava di cambiamenti ambientali, fino al 2019, si pensava implicitamente al cambiamento climatico che coinvolge tutto il pianeta. Ora la pandemia ha aggiungo al problema climatico una sfida epocale che richiede uno sforzo logistico enorme, capace di supportare la società nella salvaguardia della salute collettiva e dell'economia.
 Il rilevamento dei dati connessi sia al clima che alla pandemia, avviene praticamente in tempo reale. Questo flusso intenso di dati deve essere integrato per avere una migliore logistica, che possa arrivare a prevedere le modifiche necessarie, dettate dai cambiamenti ambientali, nella movimentazione di merci e persone. Del resto, satelliti e strumenti di geo-localizzazione sono già ora elementi fondamentali per la gestione delle flotte preposte a tale movimentazione.
 Lo scopo di questo contributo è quello di proporre alcune questioni su come l'effetto dei cambiamenti ambientali, su scala locale e globale, venga ad influenzare la logistica. Si inizierà con richiamare alcuni concetti di logistica. Come sarà evidente dalle definizioni di detti concetti, la logistica stessa ci apparirà come un sistema che richiede, per essere essa stessa sostenibile, una sua "ecologia", condizionata dall'ambiente, naturale ed economico, in cui si trova.
 La flessibilità della catena logistica può far fronte a cambiamenti locali e di breve tempo, ma i cambiamenti globali richiedono una sua plasticità, che ne preveda una specifica riprogettazione. Si vedrà poi quali sono i requisiti tecnologici oggi richiesti per integrare le nuove tecnologie nella logistica. Infine si proporranno due case studies, legati al cambiamenti climatico, relativi al trasporto merci lungo la rotta artica detta Passaggio a Nord Ovest e lungo la "via della seta" marittima del XXI secolo, dove la Repubblica Popolare Cinese investe in tecnologie satellitari per il controllo della logistica.
