EVIDENCE OF A "MID-CARNIAN" TRANSGRESSION IN THE WESTERN SOUTHERN ALPS (LOMBARDY, ITALY): STRATIGRAPHIC AND PALEOGEOGRAPHIC IMPLICATIONS

description: A "mid-Carnian" transgressive succession, developed between the Breno carbonate platform and the semiarid coastal carbonates-sabkhas facies of the S. Giovanni Bianco Fm., is recorded in the northern Bergamasc Alps. This episode is characterized by the presence of two stratigraphic markers:
a) Dark grey shales and siltstones ("Black Pelites"), considered previously as the northern closure of the Gorno-Lower S. Giovanni Bianco Fms., but re-interpreted as the western pinch-out of the Lozio Shale depositional system. The Early Carnian Lozio Shale was deposited first in the Valle di Scalve-Lozio trough and later covered the carbonate platform (Breno Fm.).
b) Fossiliferous, open subtidal limestones, marls and burrowed marly limestones ("Bioclastic Horizon") of the northern Bergamasc Alps. The spreading of shales and siltstones represents the first transgressive stage of the last Carnian sequence in Lombardy, after the "mid- Carnian" (Julian substage) regional carbonate platform crisis (top of the Valcamonica Breno Fm.). The "Bioclastic Horizon" records the mfs represented by normal, open marine facies, identified and correlated throughout the Bergamasc Alps. Different petrographic and chemical characters between the Lozio Shale - "Black Pelites" and the Gorno-San Giovanni Bianco Fms. suggest different source areas: the former units are characterized by clasts derived from a metamorphic-intrusive area (placed northward and westward), whereas the latter units are characterized by prevailing volcaniclastic material. A climatic change (from arid to relatively humid conditions) may be invoked to explain the crisis of the "mid-Carnian" carbonate platforms in the western Southern Alps and the regional spreading of fine-grained terrigenous material.

description: Recognition of Arabic characters is essential for natural language processing and computer vision fields. The need to recognize and classify the handwritten Arabic letters and characters are essentially required. In this paper, we present an algorithm for recognizing Arabic letters and characters based on using deep convolution neural networks (DCNN) and support vector machine (SVM). This paper addresses the problem of recognizing the Arabic handwritten characters by determining the similarity between the input templates and the pre-stored templates using both fully connected DCNN and dropout SVM. Furthermore, this paper determines the correct classification rate (CRR) depends on the accuracy of the corrected classified templates, of the recognized handwritten Arabic characters. Moreover, we determine the error classification rate (ECR). The experimental results of this work indicate the ability of the proposed algorithm to recognize, identify, and verify the input handwritten Arabic characters. Furthermore, the proposed system determines similar Arabic characters using a clustering algorithm based on the K-means clustering approach to handle the problem of multi-stroke in Arabic characters. The comparative evaluation is stated and the system accuracy reached 95.07% CRR with 4.93% ECR compared with the state of the art.

description: Common and diverse calcareous nannofossil assemblages were found in two continuous and expanded successions, sedimented on hemipelagic carbonate ramp. Based on refined ammonite biostratigraphy, closely spaced sampling and semiquantitative analysis, the main purpose of this paper is to calibrate against ammonite zones and subzones, the nannofossil composition changes and the identified biohorizons.
In the study area, the first notable composition change is in the lower Carixian, with the appearance and abundance increase of the genus Similiscutum, that represents a large amount of the assemblages up to the lower Domerian. Although, the appearance of the genera Biscutum and Bussonius is easily detectable around the Carixian/Domerian boundary, the other relevant Pliensbachian composition changes took place in the lower Domerian. It includes the sharp increase in abundance of the genus Calcivascularis and the appearance of the genus Lotharingius, that dominate the upper Domerian assemblages, also characterized by the significant presence of the genus Biscutum.
The set of easily recognizable and reliable events includes the First Occurrences (FOs) of Similiscutum avitum and Similiscutum cruciulus (Jamesoni Zone), the FOs of Lotharingius barozii and Lotharingius hauffii (Stokesi/Margaritatus Zone boundary), the First Common Occurrence (FCO) of Lotharingius hauffii (Margaritatus/Spinatum Zone boundary) and, probably, the FCO of Calcivascularis jansae (Stokesi/Margaritatus Zone boundary). Instead, the FOs of Biscutum dubium, Bussonius prinsii (Davoei Zone), Biscutum novum, Biscutum grande and Biscutum finchii (Stokesi Zone) are slightly difficult to calibrate against ammonite zones.

COMMUNITY VERSUS BIOCOENOSIS IN MULTIVARIATE ANALYSIS OF BENTHIC MOLLUSCAN THANATOCOENOSES

description: Community and biocoenosis as descriptive units for benthic ecology are not perfectly interchangeable. Although the conceptual framework based on communities, originally defined by a statistical quantitative approach, appears to be the most suitable in the statistical treatment of thanatocoenoses data, this framework appears to oversimplify the picture of the most important ecological units in the Mediterranean benthos. On the contrary, the benthic bionomy with the biocoenoses, identified by a group of characteristic species (disregarding their abundance) derives from a qualitative approach which has been more successfully adopted for the research in the Mediterranean area. A group of twelve thanatocoenoses from the Tyrrhenian Sea has been treated with both approaches with the aim to identify a practical strategy for analysing multispecies distribution patterns in benthic paleoecology, trying to combine the advantages of both quantitative and qualitative approaches. When dealing with large-sized data matrices of benthic thanatocoenoses, it is recommended to use a qualitative approach for data reduction, on the basis of their significance in benthic bionomy, prior to perform the quantitative multivariate analysis (classification, ordination, similarity and dissimilarity analysis). This procedure appears to be the most suitable for the identification of “natural” grouping of biotopes, since the results are not obscured by the diffuse occurrence of the most common and ubiquitous species.

description: We consider situations where the renormalized geometric entropy, as defined by the AdS/CFT ansatz of Ryu and Takayanagi, shows extensive behavior in the volume of the entangled region. In general, any holographic geometry that is `capped' in the infrared region is a candidate for extensivity provided the growth of minimal surfaces saturates at the capping region, and the induced metric at the `cap' is non-degenerate. Extensivity is well-known to occur for highly thermalized states. In this note, we show that the holographic ansatz predicts the persistence of the extensivity down to vanishing temperature, for the particular case of conformal field theories in 2+1 dimensions with a magnetic field and/or electric charge condensates.

MINDING YOUR NEIGHBORS: A SPATIAL ANALYSIS OF SOUTH CAROLINA RESIDENTS’ PERCEPTION TOWARDS CONSERVATION

description: Increasing economic pressure brought by urbanization and continuously increasing population has brought significant impact to the overall state of the environment. Most often, this results to rapid decline of pristine ecosystem and degradation due to extraction of natural resources. Hence, robust and effective policies on natural resources conservation are of utmost importance to ensure consideration of societal welfare. One of the widely used techniques in understanding social perspective is by eliciting stakeholders’ perception towards a certain issue. This provide researchers and policy makers specific focus. This study, as preliminary for developing a “Payments for Ecosystem Services” scheme, conducted a survey to elicit the perception of 1500 South Carolina residents towards conservation. The objective is to elicit the priority ecosystem service of the residents to come up with a focused design for developing the PES. The analysis was also broken down to a county level assessment to find out if there is a “neighbor’s effect” towards their preference. The study used a Rank analysis to determine the priority ecosystem and ecosystem services, logistic regression model for analyzing the factors that affect their prioritization, and spatial regression models to understand if there is a “neighbor’s effect” towards their responses.

The results showed that water-related ecosystem service, particularly good water quality, is the priority ecosystem service by the residents. The regression model showed that this prioritization has something to do with: familiarity to natural resource conservation concept, professional education of the respondents, income level, and number of household members. Furthermore, the spatial lag model also suggests that the neighboring counties’ characteristics has an effect to the average rating of another county’s satisfaction and perception, hence ultimately to their decision making process. Subsequently, the secondary ecosystem service that residents prioritize is the abundance of water. This is interesting since many of the policies and water management plans focuses on abundance of water rather than on its quality. The results from this study could be used as an argument to consider adjustments to policies towards water management.

description: We demonstrate that, in an appropriate limit, the off-shell M5-brane worldvolume action effectively captures the scalar potential of Seiberg-Witten theory perturbed by a small superpotential and, consequently, any nonsupersymmetric vacua that it describes. This happens in a similar manner to the emergence from M5's of the scalar potential describing certain type IIB flux configurations [arXiv:0705.0983]. We then construct exact nonholomorphic M5 configurations in the special case of SU(2) Seiberg-Witten theory deformed by a degree six superpotential which correspond to the recently discovered metastable vacua of Ooguri, Ookouchi, Park [arXiv:0704.3613], and Pastras [arXiv:0705.0505]. These solutions take the approximate form of a holomorphic Seiberg-Witten geometry with harmonic embedding along a transverse direction and allow us to obtain geometric intuition for local stability of the gauge theory vacua. As usual, dynamical processes in the gauge theory, such as the decay of nonsupersymmetric vacua, take on a different character in the M5 description which, due to issues of boundary conditions, typically involves runaway behavior in MQCD.

description: The Hal Saflieni Hypogeum is a unique subterranean Maltese Neolithic sanctuary with a well-documented history of interest in its acoustics. Previous studies have noted its unusual strongly-defined frequency spectrum, but it is unknown if this was coincidental. In this paper, we present evidence that the Hypogeum's creators shaped the site's geometry to create or amplify its frequency spectrum, or another property closely correlated with the spectrum. Specifically, we show that the observed spectrum required jointly fine-tuning the dimensions of multiple non-contiguous cave walls across multiple independent chambers, to a degree that seems unlikely to be coincidental. We also note that the peak frequencies are evenly spaced and resemble a whole-tone scale in music, which is also unlikely to be coincidental and suggests the spectrum itself might have held some cultural significance. Taken together, it suggests acoustic or spectral properties may have played a motivational or cultural role for the site's Neolithic creators. This work identifies one of the earliest known examples of a manmade structure with a significant musical element to its interior architecture.

description: A high-resolution geochemical and micropaleontological data set has been obtained from the uppermost Langhian/lower Serravallian marly sediments of the Ras il Pellegrin section (Malta Island). A combination of the recorded stratal organization with the results of spectral analyses performed on CaCO3 data and faunal signals shows a dominance of the classic Milankovitch periodicities as modulating forcing of the studied succession. The application of band-pass filters allowed us to select the different Milankovitch frequencies (precession, obliquity and short- and long-eccentricity) from the original faunal and geochemical signals and to compare them with the same components of the astronomical curve. The reliability of the short-term astronomical tuning has been tested by using the larger-order cyclicity (100-400 kyr) as control. The good match of the different records with the selected insolation curve is consistent with the results of the cross-spectral analysis showing high coherency values in all the considered frequency bands. The calibration provided astronomical ages for the sedimentary cycles and consequently for all the bioevents recorded in the section. In particular, an age of 13.59 Ma has been obtained for the last occurrence (LO) of Sphenolitus heteromorphus, at present considered the best bioevent useful for recognizing the Langhian/Serravallian boundary. Moreover, an age of 12.62 Ma has been obtained for the first occurrence (FO) of Paragloborotalia partimlabiata.

Συγκεκριμένα μελετήθηκε η ποιότητα των υπόγειων νερών 43 γεωτρήσεων στα Δ.Δ. του Αυλακίου, της Αγίας Μαρίνας και της Στυλίδας. Η περιοχή μελέτης ανήκει στην Υποπελαγονική ζώνη, κύριο γνώρισμα της οποίας είναι οι μεγάλες οφιολιθικές μάζες που συνοδεύουν την σχιστοκερατολιθική διάπλαση. Συναντώνται επίσης Ανωκρητιδικός ασβεστόλιθος και φλύσχης, Νεογενή ιζήματα και Τεταρτογενείς αποθέσεις. Από τις τρεις ορογενετικές περιόδους που επηρέασαν την περιοχή, η ηλικίας Νεογενούς-Τεταρτογενούς οριοθέτησε και την λεκάνη του Σπερχειού ποταμού. Υδροφόροι ορίζοντες εντοπίζονται στις Τεταρτογενείς και Νεογενείς αποθέσεις, στις ασβεστολιθικές μάζες και στα προνομιούχα πετρώματα του φλύσχη. Τα επίπεδα της στάθμης είναι υψηλότερα πριν την έναρξη των αρδεύσεων και η διεύθυνση του υπόγειου νερού είναι Β-ΒΑ προς Ν-ΝΔ στην περιοχή της Στυλίδας και Β-ΒΔ προς Ν-ΝΑ στην περιοχή του Αυλακίου. Ο υδροχημικός τύπος των νερών της περιοχής είναι ο ασβεστομαγνησιούχος-οξυανθρακικός. Πρόκειται για γλυκά νερά καλής έως μέτριας ποιότητας. Με βάση τους υδροχημικούς χάρτες επικινδυνότητα σε ορισμένες συγκεντρώσεις ιόντων εντοπίζονται στα ΝΑ και Δ τμήματα της περιοχής μελέτης.

description: The object of this study is the analysis of the hydrochemical characteristics in Stylida, prefecture of Fthiotida and particularly the quality of underground waters of 43 drillings in the municipal department of Avlaki, Agia Marina and Stylida. The region of study belongs to the Subpelagonian zone, which is mainly characterised by the shales-cherts formation with ophiolites. Uppercretaceous transgressif limestones and flysch, Neogen sediments and Quartenary depositions are also observed. From the three orogenetic periods that influenced the region, the age of Neogen-Quartenary delimited the Basin of Sperchios River. Aquifers are located in the Neogen and Quartenary depositions, in limestones and in the privileged rocks of flysch. Water levels are higher before the beginning of irrigations. The direction of flow of underground water in the region near Stylida is N-NE to S-SW and in the region near Avlaki is N-NW to S-SE. The hydrochemical type of water is calcimagnesian oxycarbonate, and the water is fresh, from good to moderate quality. With regard to the hydrochemical maps, certain concentrations of ions are presented increased in SE and W of the studied region. The calculation of ionic ratios reveals that the waters are located in the carbonic origin Neogen formations, with continuous feeding and without marine infiltration.

description: Robots that must operate in novel environments and collaborate with humans must be capable of acquiring new knowledge from human experts during operation. We propose teaching a robot novel objects it has not encountered before by pointing a hand at the new object of interest. An end-to-end neural network is used to attend to the novel object of interest indicated by the pointing hand and then to localize the object in new scenes. In order to attend to the novel object indicated by the pointing hand, we propose a spatial attention modulation mechanism that learns to focus on the highlighted object while ignoring the other objects in the scene. We show that a robot arm can manipulate novel objects that are highlighted by pointing a hand at them. We also evaluate the performance of the proposed architecture on a synthetic dataset constructed using emojis and on a real-world dataset of common objects.

description: Results of an integrated biostratigraphic (calcareous nannofossils and planktonic foraminifers) study of the uppermost Langhian/lower Serravallian Ras il-Pellegrin section (Fomm ir-Rih Bay – Malta) are presented. This high resolution study allowed us to recognise several useful lower Serravallian bio-events in the Mediterranean and to provide a detailed distribution pattern of the recognised taxa. The astrochronological calibration, reported in a different paper of this volume, provided absolute ages of the bio-events of the studied section. The LO (Last Occurrence) of Globorotalia peripheroronda at 13.39 Ma, the Paragloborotalia partimlabiata FO (First Occurrence) at 12.62 Ma and the Paragloborotalia mayeri FCO (First Common Occurrence) at 12.34 Ma among the planktonic foraminifera, and the Sphenolithus heteromorphus LO at 13.59 Ma, the Cyclicargolithus floridanus LCO (Last Common Occurrence) at 13.39 Ma, the Reticulofenestra pseudoumbilicus FCO at 13.32 Ma, the Calcidiscus macintyrei FO at 12.57 Ma and the Calcidiscus premacintyrei LCO at 12.51 Ma among the calcareous nannofossils, were recorded. Moreover, our results confirm the LO of S. heteromorphus as a fairly synchronous event in the Mediterranean and in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. Therefore, we suggest a lithological level near or coincident with this event for the definition of the GSSP of the Serravallian. The Ras il-Pellegrin section may be considered a good candidate for this definition.

description: Detailed routing is one of the most critical steps in analog circuit design. Complete routing has become increasingly more challenging in advanced node analog circuits, making advances in efficient automatic routers ever more necessary. In this work, we propose a machine learning driven method for solving the track-assignment detailed routing problem for advanced node analog circuits. Our approach adopts an attention-based reinforcement learning (RL) policy model. Our main insight and advancement over this RL model is the use of supervision as a way to leverage solutions generated by a conventional genetic algorithm (GA). For this, our approach minimizes the Kullback-Leibler divergence loss between the output from the RL policy model and a solution distribution obtained from the genetic solver. The key advantage of this approach is that the router can learn a policy in an offline setting with supervision, while improving the run-time performance nearly 100x over the genetic solver. Moreover, the quality of the solutions our approach produces matches well with those generated by GA. We show that especially for complex problems, our supervised RL method provides good quality solution similar to conventional attention-based RL without comprising run time performance. The ability to learn from example designs and train the router to get similar solutions with orders of magnitude run-time improvement can impact the design flow dramatically, potentially enabling increased design exploration and routability-driven placement.

description: Characterising the atmospheres of exoplanets is key to understanding their nature and provides hints about their formation and evolution. High-resolution measurements of the helium triplet, He(2$^{3}$S), absorption of highly irradiated planets have been recently reported, which provide a new mean to study their atmospheric escape. In this work, we study the escape of the upper atmospheres of HD 189733 b and GJ 3470 b by analysing high-resolution He(2$^{3}$S) absorption measurements and using a 1D hydrodynamic model coupled with a non-LTE model for the He(2$^{3}$S) state. We also use the H density derived from Ly$α$ observations to further constrain their temperatures, T, mass-loss rates,$\dot M$, and H/He ratios. We have significantly improved our knowledge of the upper atmospheres of these planets. While HD 189733 b has a rather compressed atmosphere and small gas radial velocities, GJ 3470 b, with a gravitational potential ten times smaller, exhibits a very extended atmosphere and large radial outflow velocities. Hence, although GJ 3470 b is much less irradiated in the XUV, and its upper atmosphere is much cooler, it evaporates at a comparable rate. In particular, we find that the upper atmosphere of HD 189733 b is compact and hot, with a maximum T of 12400$^{+400}_{-300}$ K, with very low mean molecular mass (H/He=(99.2/0.8)$\pm0.1$), almost fully ionised above 1.1 R$_p$, and with $\dot M$=(1.1$\pm0.1$)$\times$10$^{11}$ g/s. In contrast, the upper atmosphere of GJ 3470 b is highly extended and relatively cold, with a maximum T of 5100$\pm900$ K, also with very low mean molecular mass (H/He=(98.5/1.5)$^{+1.0}_{-1.5}$), not strongly ionised and with $\dot M$=(1.9$\pm1.1$)$\times$10$^{11}$ g/s. Furthermore, our results suggest that the upper atmospheres of giant planets undergoing hydrodynamic escape tend to have very low mean molecular mass (H/He$\gtrsim$97/3).

description: Τα βυζαντινά τείχη της Θεσσαλονίκης που διασώθηκαν κατά τη διάρκεια της χιλιόχρονης ιστορικής πορείας της αποτελούν αναπόσπαστο κομμάτι της πλούσιας κληρονομιας της πόλης και είναι άρρηκτα συνδεδεμένα με τη πορεία της μέσα στο χρόνο.Συνειδητοποιώντας τη μεγάλη ιστορική και κοινωνική αξία κάθε είδουςιστορικού μνημείου, κρίνεται επιτακτική η ανάγκη συντήρησης από τις φθορές πουπροκαλούνται από το πέρασμα του χρόνου και τις περιβαλλοντικές συνθήκες.Κατά συνέπεια η παρούσα εργασία εκπονήθηκε στα πλαίσια του μεταπτυχιακούπρογράμματος σπουδών του ΤΑΤΜ στην κατεύθυνση της Γεωπληροφορικής καιπραγματεύεται την αποτύπωση της εσωτερικής όψης των τειχών τηςΘεσσαλονίκης, από την οδό Ακροπόλεως έως την οδό Επταπυργίου.H μεθοδολογία που ακολουθήθηκε βασίζεται τόσο σε φωτογραμμετρικέςόσο και τοπογραφικές τεχνικές. Το σύνολο της εργασίας, που έχει ως τελικόαποτέλεσμα την εκπόνηση σχεδίων της εσωτερικής όψης ενός τμήματος τωντειχών, διαχωρίζεται στις δύο παραπάνω μεθόδους. Το φωτογραμμετρικό μέροςπεριλαμβάνει τη λήψη και επεξεργασία φωτογραφιών του μνημείου ενώ τοτοπογραφικό μέρος αφορά την αποτύπωση φωτοσταθερών σημείων ανάμεσα σεδιαδοχικές λήψεις. Η σύνθεση των δύο τεχνικών έχει ως αποτέλεσμα την απόδοσητης όψης του μνημείου.
description: The Byzantine Walls of Thessaloniki which have survived during the long standing historical life of the city, are considered to be an integral part of the gloriouscultural heritage of the city.Considering the great historical and social value of every historical monument,the need of preserving them from damages caused by the years and theenvironment is urgent.Consequently, this project that is carried out for the needs of postgraduatestudies in faculty of rural and surveying engineering has as main subject to createthe design of the facade of a part of the walls.The method which was used was based on photogrammetrical and surveyingtechniques. The photogrammetrical part includes the shooting and the imageprocessing and the surveying part deals with the measurement of fixed pointcontained in successive images. The combination of photogrammetrical andsurveying techniques leads to the designing of the facade of a part of theByzantine walls of Thessaloniki.

description: Mass estimates of K giants are generally very uncertain. Traditionally, stellar masses of single field stars are determined by comparing their location in the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram with stellar evolutionary models. Applying an additional method to determine the mass is therefore of significant interest for understanding stellar evolution. We present the time series analysis of 11 K giants recently observed with the WIRE satellite. With this comprehensive sample, we report the first confirmation that the characteristic acoustic frequency, nu_max, can be predicted for K giants by scaling from the solar acoustic cut-off frequency. We are further able to utilize our measurements of nu_max to determine an asteroseismic mass for each star with a lower uncertainty compared to the traditional method, for most stars in our sample. This indicates good prospects for the application of our method on the vast amounts of data that will soon come from the COROT and Kepler space missions.

description: The solution $x_n\left(t\right)$, $n=1,2,$ of the \textit{initial-values} problem is reported of the \textit{autonomous} system of $2$ coupled first-order ODEs with \textit{homogeneous cubic polynomial} right-hand sides, \begin{eqnarray} \dot{x}_n = c_{n1} \left(x_1\right)^3 + c_{n2}\left( x_1\right)^2 x_2 + c_{n3} x_1 \left(x_2\right)^2+c_{n4} \left(x_2\right)^3\ ,\quad n=1,2\ , \nonumber \end{eqnarray} when the $8$ (time-independent) coefficients $c_{n\ell}$ are appropriately defined in terms of $7$ \textit{arbitrary} parameters, which then also identify the solution of this model. The inversion of these relations is also investigated, namely how to obtain, in terms of the $8$ coefficients $c_{n\ell},$ the $7$ parameters characterizing the solution of this model; and $2$ \textit{constraints} are \textit{explicitly} identified which, if satisfied by the $8$ parameters $c_{n\ell },$ guarantee the \textit{solvability by algebraic operations} of this dynamical system. Also identified is a related, \textit{appropriately modified}, class of (generally \textit{complex}) systems, reading \begin{eqnarray} \dot{\tilde{x}_{n}} = \mathbf{i}ω\tilde{x}_{n} + c_{n1}\left(\tilde{x}_{1}\right) ^{3}+c_{n2}\left( \tilde{x}_{1}\right) ^2 \tilde{x}_2 + c_{n3}\tilde{x}_1 \left( \tilde{x}_2\right)^2 + c_{n4}\left(\tilde{x}_2 \right)^3\ ,\quad n=1,2\ , \nonumber \end{eqnarray} with $\mathbf{i}ω$ an \textit{arbitrary imaginary} parameter, which feature the remarkable property to be \textit{isochronous}, namely their \textit{generic} solutions are -- as functions of \textit{real time} -- \textit{completely periodic} with a period which is, for each of these models, a \textit{fixed} \textit{integer multiple} of the basic period $\tilde{T}=2π/\left\vert ω\right\vert$.

description: Recent observations have revealed a population of red massive galaxies at high redshift which are challenging to explain in hierarchical galaxy formation models. We analyze this ``massive galaxy problem'' with two different types of hydrodynamic simulations -- Eulerian TVD and SPH -- of a concordance Lambda CDM universe. We consider two separate but connected aspects of the problem posed by these extremely red objects (EROs): (1) the mass-scale, and (2) red colors. We perform spectrophotometric analyses of simulated galaxies in B, z, R, I, Js, Ks, K filters, and compare their near-IR properties with observations at redshift z=1-3. We find that the simulated galaxies brighter than the magnitude limit of K_vega=20 mag have stellar masses Mstar >= 10^{11} Msun/h and a number density of a few \times 10^{-4} h^3 Mpc^{-3} at z~2, in good agreement with the observed number density in the K20 survey. Therefore, our hydrodynamic simulations do not exhibit the ``mass-scale problem''. The answer to the ``redness problem'' is less clear because of our poor knowledge of the amount of dust extinction in EROs and the uncertain fraction of star-forming EROs. However, our simulations can account for the observed comoving number density of ~ 1e-4 Mpc^{-3} at z=1-2 if we assume a uniform extinction of E(B-V)=0.4 for the entire population of simulated galaxies. The critical question of the existence of a significant population of old, passively evolving massive EROs should continue to be tested with future hydrodynamic simulations. Upcoming observations of the thermal emission of dust in 24 micron by the Spitzer Space Telescope will help to better estimate the dust content of EROs at z=1-3, and thus to further constrain the star formation history of the Universe, and theoretical models of galaxy formation.

description: Specific heat measurements down to 120mK have been performed on a quasi-one-dimensional $S=1/2$ spin-gapped system (CH$_3$)$_2$NH$_2$CuCl$_3$ in a magnetic field up to 8 T. This compound has a characteristic magnetization curve which shows a gapless ground state and a plateau at 1/2 of the saturation value. We have observed a spontaneous antiferromagnetic ordering and a field-induced one below and above the 1/2 plateau field range, respectively. The field versus temperature phase diagram is quite unusual and completely different from those of the other quantum spin systems investigated so far. In the plateau field range, a double-structure in the specific heat is observed, reflecting the coexistence of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic excitations. These behaviors are discussed on the basis of a recently proposed novel quantum spin chain model consisting of weakly coupled ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic dimers.

A community hall for St. Andrew's, Manitoba
Creators: name: Lewkowich, Kyle Andrew
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: Through analysis of the site, and of the important historic precedents in the area of St. Andrew's, Manitoba, the project attempts to fill a void in the fabric of life of a rural community. Moreover, the project seeks to ameliorate the negative effects that sub-urbanization is having in the present, and will have in the future, upon the community of St. Andrew's. A community hall in a strategic location - at the junction of the historic Red River Heritage Parkway, and St. Andrews's Road - will increase the civic and community presence at the heart of the small town. Sited in relation to St. Andrew's Church, the St. Andrew's Rectory, and St. Andrew's Elementary, the proposed Community Hall will first of all provide a place for people in and outside the community to gather, be it for socials, dances, political meetings, or fall suppers. Secondly, the Community Hall will address the life of the Red River. A problem identified by the research was that new subdivisions within St. Andrew's fail to address the Red River. A Community Hall, which refocuses considerable attention towards river recreation, would increase the awareness of planners and other professionals so that St. Andrew's will be developed in ways which contribute to the fabric of life in St. Andrew's. To this end, the project supports the development of a descriptive, rather than prescriptive, park-like area along the banks of the Red River. Such a park would provide places for children and adults to seek out the river's edge for recreation, both in winter and in summer. Small hills will be enjoyed as sledding opportunities, while a concerted effort in cleaning and scraping the ice of the river will provide for public skating. Boat launches will be used in summer by visitors, and small shacks provided in both winter and summer for respite from the elements. The programme of the building will also support such activities. The main floor and mezzanine should be viewed as "formal," as they address the events of the community at large and ingrain themselves into the life of school, church, and town. The lower floor of the building, however, will have public washrooms, rentable rooms for boy scout meetings, floor hockey and the like, and a concession area. This lower level will address itself to the informal life of the community as embodied through the symbol of the Red River.

description: We generalize the Callan-Harvey mechanism to the case of actions with a non local mass term for the fermions. Using a 2+1-dimensional model as a concrete example, we show that both the existence and properties of localized zero modes can also be consistently studied when the mass is non local. We derive some general properties from a study of the resulting integral equations, and consider their realization in a concrete example.

description: Electromagnetic waves at grazing incidence onto a planar medium are analogous to zero energy quantum particles incident onto a potential well. In this limit waves are typically completely reflected. Here we explore dielectric profiles supporting optical analogues of `half-bound states', allowing for zero reflection at grazing incidence. To obtain these profiles we use two different theoretical approaches: supersymmetric quantum mechanics, and direct inversion of the Helmholtz equation.

FireProt-ASR: An automated workflow for ancestral sequence reconstruction
Creators: name: Miloš Musil
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2019

description: Proteins are widely used in numerous biomedical and biotechnological applications. However, naturally occurring proteins cannot usually withstand the harsh industrial environment, since they are evolved to function in mild conditions. Therefore, there is a great interest in increasing protein stability to enhance their applicability. Ancestral sequence reconstruction (ASR) is a well-established method for deducing the evolutionary history of genes or whole genomes. Besides of its ability to discover the potential evolutionary ancestors of the modern proteins, ASR has proven to be a useful approach to infer their highly thermostable variants as the environmental conditions of the Precambrian Earth were significantly more demanding. However, its wide applicability is currently restricted due to its complicated nature, demanding a profound knowledge and understanding of numerous tools and principles of the phylogenetic analysis.
FireProtASR aims to overcome these obstacles by providing a fully automated computational pipeline, which would allow users to acquire ancestral sequences of their proteins of interest without the need of constructing multiple-sequence alignment or phylogenetic tree, commonly required by the existing tools for ASR. FireProtASR will be completed with the robust framework for annotation-based homology search and the algorithm for the selection of the most suitable outgroup.
