description: Airoldi (1930, 1932) described twenty-three fossil Corallinales (Rhodophyta) from the Oligocene of the Tertiary Piedmont Basin (NW Italy), including thirteen new species. In this paper Mesophyllum fructiferum Airoldi 1932 and Mesophyllum obsitum Airoldi 1932 are re-documented and re-described. The presence of cell fusions, multiporate conceptacles and a ventral core of cell filaments passing from coaxial to non-coaxial confirm that both species belong to the genus Mesophyllum.

Subjects: subject: Superconductivity (cond-mat.supr-con)

description: Inverse Faraday effect (IFE) in superconductors is proposed, where a static magnetization is generated under the influence of a circularly polarized microwave field. Classical modeling of the IFE explicitly provides superconducting gyration coefficient in terms of its complex conductivity. IFE is then considered as a source of nonlinearity and gyrotropy even at a low-power microwave regime giving rise to a spectrum of phenomena and applications. Microwave-induced gyroelectric conductivity, Hall effect, microwave birefringence, flux quantization and vortex state are predicted and quantitatively analyzed. Peculiar microwave birefringence in gyrotropic superconductors due to radical response of superelectrons has been highlighted.

description: An isolated phytosaur skull found in the Calcare di Zorzino (Norian, Late Triassic), near the locality of Endenna (Bergamo Prealps, Lombardy, Northern Italy), is described. The skull lacks the mandible and is severely compressed and distorted in its posterior portion. Nevertheless it is possible to ascribe it to the genus Mystriosuchus, likely to Mystriosuchus planirostris, already known on the basis of excellent specimens from the Stubensandstein Formation in Germany. This finding represents one of the rare large reptile specimens found in the Norian fossil-bearing localities of Lombardy, along with a new phytosaur yet to be prepared and a nearly two meters long specimen of the placodont Psephoderma alpinum.

description: We develop a novel method to simultaneously determine the vertical potential, force and stellar $z-v_z$ phase space distribution function (DF) in our local patch of the Galaxy. We assume that the Solar Neighborhood can be treated as a one-dimensional system in dynamical equilibrium and directly fit the number density in the $z-v_z$ plane to what we call the Rational Linear DF (RLDF) model. This model can be regarded as a continuous sum of isothermal DFs though it has only one more parameter than the isothermal model. We apply our method to a sample of giant stars from Gaia Data Release 2 and show that the RLDF provides an excellent fit to the data. The well-known phase space spiral emerges in the residual map of the $z-v_z$ plane. We use the best-fit potential to plot the residuals in terms of the frequency and angle of vertical oscillations and show that the spiral maps into a straight line. From its slope, we estimate that the phase spirals were generated by a perturbation $\sim540$ Myr years ago. We also determine the differential surface density as a function of vertical velocity dispersion, a.k.a. the vertical temperature distribution. The result is qualitatively similar to what was previously found for SDSS/SEGUE G dwarfs. Finally, we address parameter degeneracies and the validity of the 1D approximation. Particularly, the mid-plane density derived from a cold subsample, where the 1D approximation is more secure, is closer to literature values than that derived from the sample as a whole.

description: We report on a survey for strong (rest equivalent width W_r >= 1A), intervening MgII systems along the sightlines to long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The GRB spectra which comprise the survey have a heterogeneous mix of resolution and wavelength coverage, but we implement a strict, uniform set of search criteria to derive a well-defined statistical sample. We identify 15 strong MgII absorbers along 14 GRB sightlines (nearly every sightline exhibits at least one absorber) with spectra covering a total pathlength Delta z = 15.5 at a mean redshift = 1.1. In contrast, the predicted incidence of such absorber systems along the same path length to quasar sightlines is only 3.8. The roughly four times higher incidence along GRB sightlines is inconsistent with a statistical fluctuation at greater than 99.9% c.l. Several effects could explain the result: (i) dust within the MgII absorbers obscures faint quasars giving a lower observed incidence along quasar sightlines; (ii) the gas is intrinsic to the GRB event; (iii) the GRB are gravitationally lensed by these absorbers. We present strong arguments against the first two effects and also consider lensing to be an unlikely explanation. The results suggest that at least one of our fundamental beliefs on absorption line research is flawed.

description: A spin system is considered with a Hamiltonian typical of molecular magnets, having dipole-dipole interactions and a single-site magnetic anisotropy. In addition, spin interactions through the common radiation field are included. A fully quantum-mechanical derivation of the collective radiation rate is presented. An effective narrowing of the dipole-dipole attenuation, due to high spin polarization is taken into account. The influence of the radiation rate on spin dynamics is carefully analysed. It is shown that this influence is completely negligible. No noticeable collective effects, such as superradiance, can appear in molecular magnets, being caused by electromagnetic spin radiation. Spin superradiance can arise in molecular magnets only when these are coupled to a resonant electric circuit, as has been suggested earlier by one of the authors in Laser Phys. {\bf 12}, 1089 (2002).

description: The historic collection of fossil odontocetes (Cetacea) from Monte Voltraio, near Volterra (Tuscany, Italy) has been examined and lithostratigraphical and biostratigraphical investigations on the find locality have been carried out. The Monte Voltraio outcrop is referred to the Middle Pliocene, in particular to Globorotalia aemiliana and Discoaster tamalis zones. The odontocete remains are assigned to the families Kogiidae (Kogia pusilla) and Delphinidae (Globicephala? etruriae and two indeterminate specimens which might belong to Hemisyntrachelus and Stenella giulii). The Middle Pliocene cetacean fauna from the Mediterranean basin (Monte Voltraio and Rio Stramonte associations) includes extinct taxa or extant taxa no longer represented in this basin. The disappearance of these taxa may be linked with the Pliocene and/or Quaternary climatic deteriorations (e.g. the climatic crisis at about 2.6-2.4 MA).

description: Stripe phases were predicted to arise in doped antiferromagnets through competition between magnetism and the kinetic energy of mobile carriers (typically holes). In copper-oxides the main experimental evidence for stripes is neutron scattering from La1.48Nd0.4Sr0.12CuO4 (LNSCO) and La1.875Ba0.125CuO4 (LBCO) which reveals coexisting static spin and charge order whose wavelengths differ by a factor of two, reminiscent of charged rivers separating regions of oppositely-phased antiferromagnetism. A neutron is an electrically neutral object, however, so does not detect charge but rather its associated lattice distortion ; it is not known if the "stripe" phase in LNSCO and LBCO actually involves ordering of the doped holes. Here we present a study of the charge order in LBCO with resonant soft x-ray scattering (RSXS). We observe giant resonances at both the mobile carrier and upper-Hubbard band features in the OK edge. These demonstrate a substantial modulation in the doped hole density as well as the amount of spectral weight near the correlated gap, i.e. the degree of "Mottness". The peak-to-trough amplitude of the valence modulation is estimated to be 0.063 holes, which if interpreted with a model of the stripe form factor suggests an integrated area of 0.59 holes under a single stripe. While only an estimate, this number agrees with what is expected for half-filled stripes.

description: The species studied differs from the other Hyalopomatus species by having a peculiar rugose sculptured outer tube surface. This character is markedly variable; it can be more or less developed and may also vary along the same tube. Observed by SEM, this rugosity proves to consist of irregular flaps, roughly following the growth lines. SEM observations on transverse fractures show a homogeneous composition of the tube wall, consisting of calcium carbonate crystals. These crystals show a prismatic habitus and are arranged in a homogeneous granular microcrystalline structure. New records of H. variorugosus are from deep water stations in the Western Mediterranean and from Pleistocene bathyal deposits of Southern Italy. The discussion covers aspects of tube characters of use for taxonomy.

description: With the recent increase demand for cloud services, handling clients’ needs is getting increasinglychallenging. Responding to all requesting clients with no exception could lead to security breaches, andsince it is the provider’s responsibility to secure not only the offered cloud services but also the data, it isimportant to ensure clients reliability. Although filtering clients in the cloud is not so common, it isrequired to assure cloud safety.In this paper, we made use of multi agent system interaction mechanisms to handle the cloud interactionsfor the providers’ side, and of Particle Swarm Optimization to select the and determine the accurate trustweight and therefore to filtrate the clients by determining malicious and untrustworthy clients. Theselection depends on previous knowledge and overall rating of trusted peers. The conducted experimentsproves that the combination between MAS, PSO and trust outputs relevant results with different number ofpeers, the solution is able to converge to the best result after small number of iterations. To explore morespace and scenarios, synthetic data was generated to improve the model’s precision .

We follow an approach due to C.-C. Yang, P. Li and K. H. Ha who handle similar decompositions, however, with P, Q polynomials, by applying the Second Nevanlinna Theorem. We establish relations between the number k of distinct zeros of P', the degrees of P and Q, and (unless f, g are analytic functions) the number of distinct zeros of the denominators of P and Q.

description: This series of three lectures were first given in February 2014 as part of the university course Applicazioni della Fisica dei Neutroni at the Universit`a degli Study di Milano-Bicocca, Italy. It provides an up-to-date introduction to the use of neutrons in condensed matter research. To this end, it takes account of recent advances in neutron production and experimental techniques over the past two decades, and put these in the context of current scientific trends. The first lecture provides a general overview, including a survey of the merits and strengths of the technique, a comparison with other probes such as X-rays, and a first dive into the general formalism to calculate neutron-scattering cross sections. The second lecture is devoted to the conceptual and mathematical framework underpinning neutron-scattering experiments to probe structure and motion in solids, liquids, and gases, from stochastic and relaxation processes responsible for the transport properties of technological materials, all the way up to the use of epithermal neutrons to investigate disordered matter and nuclear quantum dynamics. The third and closing lecture takes a more detailed look at neutron-matter interactions, with particular emphasis on their dependence on unpaired electron density (magnetism) as well as nuclear spin. All throughout, key concepts are illustrated by reference to recent work on phenomena of technological relevance including gas storage and sequestration in nanoporous materials, ionic conduction and charge storage, chemical catalysis, and quantum matter.

description: Weyl semimetals for their exotic topological properties have drawn considerable attention in many research fields. When in combination with s-wave superconductors, the supercurrent can be carried by their topological surface channels, forming junctions mimic the behavior of Majorana bound states. Here, we present a transmon-like superconducting quantum intereference device (SQUID) consists of lateral junctions made of Weyl semimetal Td-MoTe2 and superconducting leads niobium nitride (NbN). The SQUID is coupled to a readout cavity made of molybdenum rhenium (MoRe), whose response at high power reveal the existence of the constituting Josephson junctions (JJs). The loop geometry of the circuit allows the resonant frequency of the readout cavity to be tuned by the magnetic flux. We demonstrate a JJ made of MoTe2 and a flux-tunable transmon-like circuit based on Weyl materials. Our study provides a platform to utilize topological materials in SQUID-based quantum circuits for potential applications in quantum information processing.

description: We have used the Very Large Array (VLA), linked with the Pie Town Very Long Baseline Array antenna, to determine astrometric positions of 46 radio stars in the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF). Positions were obtained in the ICRF directly through phase referencing of the stars to nearby ICRF quasars whose positions are accurate at the 0.25 mas level. Radio star positions are estimated to be accurate at the 10 mas level, with position errors approaching a few milli-arcseconds for some of the stars observed. Our measured positions were combined with previous measurements taken from as early as 1978 to obtain proper motion estimates for all 46 stars with average uncertainties of ~1.7 mas/yr. We compared our radio star positions and proper motions with the Hipparcos Catalogue data, and find consistency in the reference frames produced by each data set on the 1-sigma level, with errors of ~2.7 mas per axis for the reference frame orientation angles at our mean epoch of 2003.78. No significant spin is found between our radio data frame and the Hipparcos Celestial Reference Frame (HCRF) with largest rotation rates of +0.55 and -0.41 mas/yr around the x and z axes, respectively, with 1-sigma errors of 0.36 mas/yr. Thus, our results are consistent with a non-rotating Hipparcos frame with respect to the ICRF.

description: Events with vector bosons produced in association with jets have been extensively studied at hadron colliders and provide high-accuracy tests of the Standard Model. A good understanding of these processes is of paramount importance for precision Higgs physics, as well as for searches for new physics. In particular, associated production of $γ$, $W$ or $Z$ bosons with light-flavor and heavy-flavor jets is a powerful tool for testing perturbative QCD calculations, Monte Carlo event generators, and can also constrain the parametrizations used to describe the parton content of the proton. Furthermore, events with a $W$ or $Z$ boson produced with two well-separated jets can be used to distinguish between electroweak and strong production mechanisms, and to set limits on contributions of physics beyond the Standard Model. This review summarises the historical theoretical developments and the state-of-the-art in the modeling of vector-boson-plus-jet physics, while focusing on experimental results by LHC collaborations in Run-1 and Run-2, and including comparisons with recent measurements at the Tevatron.

description: We study the textures of SM fermion mass matrices and their mixings in a supersymmetric adjoint SU(5) Grand Unified Theory with modular $S_4$ being the horizontal symmetry. The Yukawa entries of both quarks and leptons are expressed by modular forms with lower weights. Neutrino sector has an adjoint SU(5) representation 24 as matter superfield, which is a triplet of $S_4$. The effective light neutrino masses is generated through Type-III and Type-I seesaw mechanism. The only common complex parameter in both charged fermion and neutrino sectors is modulus $τ$. Down-type quarks and charged leptons have the same joint effective operators with adjoint scalar in them, and their mass discrepancy in the same generation depends on Clebsch-Gordan factor. Especially for the first two generations the respective Clebsch-Gordan factors made the double Yukawa ratio $y_dy_μ/y_ey_s=12$, in excellent agreement with the experimental result. We reproduce proper CKM mixing parameters and all nine Yukawa eigenvalues of quarks and charged leptons. Neutrino masses and MNS parameters are also produced properly with normal ordering is preferred.

description: We explore the constraints current collider searches place on a QCD-like dark sector. A combination of multi-jet, multi-jet plus missing energy and emerging jets searches is used to derive constraints on the mediator mass across the full range of the dark meson lifetimes for the first time. The dark sector inherits a flavour structure from the coupling between the dark quarks and the SM quarks through the mediator. When this is taken into account, the differently flavoured dark pions become distinguishable through their lifetime. We show that also in these cases the above mentioned searches remain sensitive, and we obtain limits on the mediator mass also for the flavoured scenario. We then contrast the constraints from collider searches with direct detection bounds on the dark matter candidate itself in both the flavoured and unflavoured scenario. Using a simple prescription it becomes possible to display all constraints in the dark matter and mediator mass plane. Constraints from direct detection tend to be stronger than the collider constraints, unless the coupling to the first generation quarks is suppressed, in which case the collider searches place the most stringent limits on the parameter space.
Japan’s wartime use of colonial labor: Taiwan and Korea (1937-1945)
Creators: name: Nakano, Yoichi
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The wartime Japanese empire used various types of foreign labor in order to fuel its war machine. In many of its areas of wartime control, Japan carried out what can be described as a policy of outright slave labor. However, in its formal colonies (Korea and Taiwan), the Japanese wartime empire mobilized its colonial labor within the "same" legal framework that was applied to the Japanese, and it mobilized the colonial subjects with an explicitly assimilationist slogan of serving the empire as self-sacrificing subjects. This paper attempts to present an overall, if fragmentary, picture of Japan's wartime utilization of colonial labor in Korea and Taiwan. It argues that despite Japan's use of assimilationist rhetoric, the nature of Japan's labor mobilization was very coercive and brutal. As a result, there was a substantial level of resistance from the colonial population, which intensified toward the war's end; and Japan's-mobilization of colonial labor met constant frustration throughout the war. The paper first discusses how empire-wide legal and administrative frameworks for mobilization were developed and applied for labor mobilization within Korea and Taiwan. As a part of its empire-wide mobilization, Japan mobilized colonial labor outside the colonies. The paper discusses this dimension with a particular focus on Japan's use of Korean labor in Japan.

Different parametrizations of the effective $Δ$-current and different treatments of correlations in the two-nucleon overlap function are considered. The results are presented and discussed for a suitable choice of kinematics. It is found that the investigation of different mutually supplementing kinematics is necessary to resolve the uncertainties in the theoretical ingredients and extract clear and unambiguous information on correlations.

Green, Blue, and Grey: ecosystem services and overlapping water and transport networks
Creators: name: Cousins, Ken
Publisher: name: F1000 Research Limited
Year: 2019

description: The built environment can significantly impact ecosystem services, especially where built infrastructure (e.g., road and rail systems) is designed without full consideration of stream ecology and the migratory nature of anadromous species. In the Pacific Northwest, salmon are not only keystone species, but are also culturally and economically critical, supporting large tribal, commercial, and recreational fishing industries. Modifying stream crossing infrastructure to restore salmon access to inland habitat is a major (albeit expensive) priority throughout the region. Progress towards this goal will require more diverse funding options and broader stakeholder support. We must expand our understanding of the value of replacing poorly designed and degraded stream crossings to include not only ecological costs, but also conventional risks (e.g., localized flooding, transportation disruptions) arising from disruptions to hydrological processes. Our team has developed innovative, scalable geospatial techniques for identifying conventional risks associated with blocked and degraded stream crossings. Including these values will strengthen the benefit-cost rationale for pursuing habitat access restoration, expanding such efforts. We are also developing more nuanced assessments of the marginal contribution that restoring access to inland habitat for the goods and services produced by those ecosystems.

Our initial case study focused on 250 degraded stream crossings in the Mat-Su borough of southcentral Alaska. Of these, we identified 103 crossings (41 percent) with non-zero conventional cost (risk), 50 of which (20 percent of the total) were found to achieve a benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of 1.0 or greater based solely on conventional risks ($21.5M, in 2016 dollars). Inclusion of ecosystem services increased the total to 54 crossings (21 percent). Of these, just 5 crossings (2 percent) presented localized flooding risks to nearby buildings ($2.3M). Fully 46 crossings (18 percent) had the potential to isolate households following a road washout ($4.2M in risk to public safety). All 53 degraded stream crossings in the regional rail system (21 percent) presented a risk of disruption ($14.9M). The total contribution to ecosystem goods and services flowing the restoration of access to inland habitat was limited by treating each crossing in isolation. Analyzing restoration projects at the stream level is likely to result in higher aggregate gains to habitat and ecosystem goods and services. Our team is currently expanding this work in the Chehalis basin of southwest Washington state; results of that work will be reported at the conference.

description: In order to enable the transition towards renewable energy sources, probabilistic energy forecasting is of critical importance for incorporating volatile power sources such as solar energy into the electrical grid. Solar energy forecasting methods often aim to provide probabilistic predictions of solar irradiance. In particular, many hybrid approaches combine physical information from numerical weather prediction models with statistical methods. Even though the physical models can provide useful information at intra-day and day-ahead forecast horizons, ensemble weather forecasts from multiple model runs are often not calibrated and show systematic biases. We propose a post-processing model for ensemble weather predictions of solar irradiance at temporal resolutions between 30 minutes and 6 hours. The proposed models provide probabilistic forecasts in the form of a censored logistic probability distribution for lead times up to 5 days and are evaluated in two case studies covering distinct physical models, geographical regions, temporal resolutions, and types of solar irradiance. We find that post-processing consistently and significantly improves the forecast performance of the ensemble predictions for lead times up to at least 48 hours and is well able to correct the systematic lack of calibration.

The regions where low-temperature phase transitions occur were established. It was shown that phase transitions in these solid solutions are associated with off-center S and Sn ions. The dependence of the phase transition temperature on the composition of solid solutions can be qualitatively described taking into account the influence of substitutional disorder on the ordering and tunneling of off-center ions.

Four new species, Bandoproductus qigshuigouensis n. sp., Callytharrella dongshanpoensis n. sp., Trigonotreta semicircularis n. sp. and Punctocyrtella? yunnanensis n. sp., are described. Based on the stratigraphic distribution of the brachiopod species throughout the Dingjiazhai Formation, three assemblages are recognizable, which in ascending order are: Bandoproductus qingshuigouensis-Marginifera semigratiosa Assemblage (Asselian age), Punctocyrtella australis-Punctospirifer afghanus Assemblage (most likely latest Asselian-Early Sakmarian) and Callytharrella dongshanpoensis Assemblage (Late Sakmarian-Artinskian). The Early Permian Dingjiazhai brachiopod fauna as a whole demonstrates strong generic and specific links with those of Gondwanan and Perigondwanan faunas, but also demonstrates limited but significant links with those of the eastern Palaeotethyan faunas.

description: We consider sums of the form $\sum ϕ(γ)$, where $ϕ$ is a given function, and $γ$ ranges over the ordinates of nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta-function in a given interval. We show how the numerical estimation of such sums can be accelerated by a simple device, and give examples involving both convergent and divergent infinite sums.

description: While living in different historical era, Charles Darwin (1809-1882) and Albert Einstein (1879-1955) were both prolific correspondents: Darwin sent (received) at least 7,591 (6,530) letters during his lifetime while Einstein sent (received) over 14,500 (16,200). Before email scientists were part of an extensive university of letters, the main venue for exchanging new ideas and results. But were the communication patterns of the pre-email times any different from the current era of instant access? Here we show that while the means have changed, the communication dynamics has not: Darwin's and Einstein's pattern of correspondence and today's electronic exchanges follow the same scaling laws. Their communication belongs, however, to a different universality class from email communication, providing evidence for a new class of phenomena capturing human dynamics.

description: First results and basic geological information of the Seceda Coring Project are reported. The Seceda project started with drilling of a well for scientific purposes. The core material is currently studied by an international group of geoscientists from different universities. Fundamental topics of the project are a thorough sedimentological and cyclostratigraphic analysis of the complete succession of Middle Triassic pelagic Buchenstein Beds in the northwestern Dolomites (Southern Alps, Italy) as well as their temporal relationship with coeval carbonate platforms. Complementary studies focus on stratigraphic correlation tools including bio-, litho- and magnetostratigraphy.

A REEXAMINATION OF FOUR PROLACERTIFORMS WITH IMPLICATIONS FOR PTEROSAUR PHYLOGENESIS
Creators: name: PETERS, DAVID
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2000

description: Traditionally, pterosaurs have been included within the Archosauriformes and many contemporary workers consider the Pterosauria the sister group to Lagosuchus, Scleromochlus and the Dinosauria. New analyses cast doubts on those relationships because nearly all presumed archosauriform or ornithodire "synapomorpies" are either not present within the Pterosauria or are also present within certain prolacertiform taxa. Recent examinations of the holotypes of Cosesaurus aviceps, Longisquama insignis and Sharovipteryx mirabilis suggest that many characters may be interpreted differently than previously reported. Results of several subsequent cladistic analyses suggests that these "enigmatic" prolacertiforms, along with the newly described Langobardisaurus, are sister taxa to the Pterosauria, based on a suite of newly identified synapomorphies.

description: Wyraz budyń występuje w polszczyźnie od niedawna – około dwustu lat – ale ma on historię dość ciekawą i wciąż nie w pełni zrozumianą. Początkowo pojawiał się w różnych wariantach fonetycznych i graficznych, z których do dzisiaj zachowały się jeszcze dwa. Od tego czasu zmieniał się wciąż jego status w języku i równocześnie znaczenie: początkowo bardzo szerokie, od słodkiego ciasta gotowanego w chuście po farsz do nadziania kury, potem zawężone do dzisiejszego ‛kisielu mlecznego’, a w ostatnich latach znowu rozszerzane na coraz to nowe potrawy. Jego etymologia nie była dotąd badana głębiej, a te propozycje, które pojawiały się w literaturze, wskazują na zupełnie różne kierunki.The word budyń has not existed in Polish for very long, about two hundred years, but its history is quite interesting and still not fully understood. At first, it appeared in several phonetic and graphic variants; two of them have survived to this day. Its status in the language, as well as its semantics, have never stopped evolving: initially very broad, from a sweet cake boiled in cloth to stuffing for chicken, later narrowed down to the current ‛thick custard’, and in recent years expanded again to include a growing number of new dishes. Its etymology has not yet been studied in depth, and the hypotheses which have appeared in the literature, point in entirely different directions.

description: Angular distributions of 7Li(7Li,t), (7Li,alpha) and (7Li,6He) reactions were measured for laboratory energies from 2 - 16 MeV. Exact finite range DWBA analyses were performed with the aim to identify contributions of direct processes and to investigate the applicability of DWBA to such few nucleon systems. It turned out that DWBA can be successfully applied to estimate differential and total cross sections of direct transfer processes in 7Li+7Li interaction. The direct mechanism was found to play a dominant role in most of these reactions but significant contributions of other, strongly energy dependent processes were also established. It is suggested that these processes might be due to isolated resonances superimposed on the backround of statistical fluctuations arising from interference of compound nucleus and direct transfer contributions.

BIOERODED AND OR ENCRUSTED AMMONITE MOULDS AND THEIR TAPHONOMIC IMPLICATIONS
Creators: name: MACCHIONI, FRANCESCO
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2000

description: Encrustation and/or bioerosion have been observed on both sides of several ammonites sampled from Lower-Middle Toarcian Rosso Ammonitico of the Umbria-Marche Apennines (Central Italy). The majority of these features are due to the activity of polychaete worms: the encrusting s.s. is due to serpulids, whilst bioerosion s. s. is similar to Maeandropolydora decipiens Voigt, and a third category of polychaetes has produced bioerosion-encrustation structures. The ornamentation features of the samples studied, allowed us to establish that the upper sides are preserved as composite moulds and the lower sides as internal moulds. The overprinting of the external shell structures on the internal infillings took place during burial diagenesis; the deformation style is plastic and only vertical, lateral deformation s being impeded. The presence of boring and/or encrustation on the lower side of internal moulds is classically interpreted as evidence of reelaboration. Regarding these Toarcian specimens, the nature of the composite moulds would seem to confirm that the phenomena of encrusting and/or boring by polichaete worms occurred before the dissolution of the shells. Except in the cases of pure bioerosion, it is impossible to ascertain whether the shell was already infilled or not. The encrustation by polichaete worms probably occurred during post-mortem drifting or when the shell was exposed on the sea floor. The similarity between the observed bioerosion phenomena and other hard and/or firm material borers gives us reason to think that the complete re-exhumation of the shell is not necessary to permit the boring action: however, a partial re-exhumation might have helped the borer to detect the presence of a shell test.

description: Facial expression is a standout amongst the most imperative features of human emotion recognition. For demonstrating the emotional states facial expressions are utilized by the people. In any case, recognition of facial expressions has persisted a testing and intriguing issue with regards to PC vision. Recognizing the Micro-Facial expression in video sequence is the main objective of the proposed approach. For efficient recognition, the proposed method utilizes the optimal convolution neural network. Here the proposed method considering the input dataset is the CK+ dataset. At first, by means of Adaptive median filtering preprocessing is performed in the input image. From the preprocessed output, the extracted features are Geometric features, Histogram of Oriented Gradients features and Local binary pattern features. The novelty of the proposed method is, with the help of Modified Lion Optimization (MLO) algorithm, the optimal features are selected from the extracted features. In a shorter computational time, it has the benefits of rapidly focalizing and effectively acknowledging with the aim of getting an overall arrangement or idea. Finally, the recognition is done by Convolution Neural network (CNN). Then the performance of the proposed MFEOCNN method is analysed in terms of false measures and recognition accuracy. This kind of emotion recognition is mainly used in medicine, marketing, E-learning, entertainment, law and monitoring. From the simulation, we know that the proposed approach achieves maximum recognition accuracy of 99.2% with minimum Mean Absolute Error (MAE) value. These results are compared with the existing for MicroFacial Expression Based Deep-Rooted Learning (MFEDRL), Convolutional Neural Network with Lion Optimization (CNN+LO) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) without optimization. The simulation of the proposed method is done in the working platform of MATLAB.

description: We consider moduli fields interacting with thermalized relativistic matter. We determine the temperature dependence of their damping rate and find it is dominated by thermal effects in the high temperature regime, i.e. for temperatures larger than their mass. For a simple scalar model the damping rate is expressed through the known matter bulk viscosity. The high temperature damping rate is always smaller than the Hubble rate, so that thermal effects are not sufficient for solving the cosmological moduli problem.
description: Numerical error in the final result for the damping rate corrected, conclusions of the paper are not affected
