description: Nulliporites bombicoides Sacco, 1888 and Nulliporites stellaris Sacco, 1888 from the Oligocene - Lower Miocene deep-sea turbiditic sediments of Liguria and Piedmont (Monastero and Rocchetta formations) appear to belarge, agglutinated astrorhizid foraminiferids both assigned in this study tothe genus Astrorhizinoides Stschedrina, 1969 under a single species, Astrorhizinoides  bombicoides (Sacco, 1888). This foraminiferis characterized by a simple, straight to slightly curved or rarely branched test, which displays a thick, smooth, finely agglutinated wall, with constrictions, and a very thin chamber lumen, whose apertures are observed at least at one of the terminal ends of the test. The tests, partly crushed, are preserved mostly on the soles of thin turbiditic sandstones, where they may be aligned. Probably, the foraminifer was originally a semi-infaunal, free-standing form, the test of which was partly flexible.

description: This article is intended as an introduction to the subject of quantum logic, and as a brief survey of the relevant literature. Also discussed here are logics for specification and analysis of quantum information systems, in particular, recent work by P. Mateus and A. Sernadas, and also by R. van der Meyden and M. Patra. Overall, our objective is to provide a high-level presentation of the logical aspects of quantum theory. Mateus' and Sernadas' EQPL logic is illustrated with a small example, namely the state of an entangled pair of qubits. The "KT" logic of van der Meyden and Patra is demonstrated briefly in the context of the B92 protocol for quantum key distribution.

description: We discuss the realization of inflation and resulting cosmological perturbations in the low-energy effective string theory. In order to obtain nearly scale-invariant spectra of density perturbations and a suppressed tensor-to-scalar ratio, it is generally necessary that the dilaton field $ϕ$ is effectively decoupled from gravity together with the existence of a slowly varying dilaton potential. We also study the effect of second-order corrections to the tree-level action which are the sum of a Gauss-Bonnet term coupled to $ϕ$ and a kinetic term $(\nabla ϕ)^4$. We find that it is possible to realize observationally supported spectra of scalar and tensor perturbations provided that the correction is dominated by the $(\nabla ϕ)^4$ term even in the absence of the dilaton potential. When the Gauss-Bonnet term is dominant, tensor perturbations exhibit violent negative instabilities on small-scales about a de Sitter background in spite of the fact that scale-invariant scalar perturbations can be achieved.

description: Several excavations in Slovakia resulted in the finding and description of a new species of the extinct phocid subfamily Devinophocinae from the early Badenian, early Middle Miocene (16.26-14.89 Ma). Material of Devinophoca , including the skull, mandibles and teeth, presents distinguishing characters of the subfamily as well as mixed characters with the three extant phocid subfamilies (Cystophorinae, Monachinae and Phocinae). Detailed descriptions of dentition reveal that true seals ranging from 16 million years ago to the present have a generally uniform dental formula within each subfamily, based on total number of incisors: Phocinae (10 incisors; 3/2), Cystophorinae (6 incisors; 2/1); Monachinae (8 incisors; 2/2), and Devinophocinae (also 8 incisors as Monachinae, but in different combination: 3/1). The newly described Devinophoca emryi is represented by the second known skull of this subfamily, with D . claytoni being the first. Certain derived characters in pinnipeds were clearly noticeable on this skull, supporting the phylogenetic analysis that showed D . claytoni as its sister taxon. Stratigraphical examinations suggest that these Paratethyan seals ( D . claytoni and D . emryi )from the Vienna Basin, specifically from the Dev√≠nska Nov√° Ves-Bonanza locality, occupied shallow marine water with coral-reef zones. Over time, they transitioned from a humid, tropical shallow shore zone in the early Badenian (16.26 ‚Äì 14.89 Ma) to a subtropical climate in the middle Badenian (14.89 -13.82 Ma) and a warm temperate climate during the late Badenian (13.82 -12.73Ma).

description: Twelve species attributed to the genus Heliocythere have been recorded from the epineritic/neritic and circalittoral/epibathyal deposits of Cenozoic subtropical seas. The oldest species is from the Lower Oligocene deposits of the northwest Indian Ocean. The youngest species are confirmed from the Late Miocene (Messinian) of the Mediterranean area and one stratigraphically uncertain record from the Early Pliocene of Vejer de la Frontera (southern Spain). Heliocythere profited of a marine connection between the Mediterranean and the Paratethys through the Slovenian corridor during the latest Burdigalian (Karpatian) and settled in Central Europe and Balkan Peninsula marine biotopes, but a paleogeographic and paleoecologic change during the late Serravallian caused an extinction of Paratethyan Heliocythere . In Late Miocene times, Heliocythere spread through the entire Mediterranean area and extended its biogeographic range to the eastern Atlantic Ocean. This was a period of maximum species diversity of Heliocythere. No Heliocythere species has been described from present-day marine ostracod associations and we suppose that this fully marine genus is extinct.
Due to the loss of the type material and the necessary correction of genus attribution, we designate herewith a neotype for theearly Badenian (early Langhian) Cythere moravica Proch√°zka, 1893 from the Carpathian Foredeep, referred to in this work as Heliocythere moravica (Proch√°zka, 1893). We discuss its paleoecology and position within the genus Heliocythere .

description: The Lower Pleistocene marine succession of the Arda River, cropping out at Castell'Arquato (Northern Italy), is well exposed, continue and richly fossiliferous. Itconsists of sandstones, siltstones and claystones and it is topped by continental conglomerates which indicate a major sea level drop. In the present paper Glycymeris glycymeris, Glycymeris inflata, Glycymeris insubrica, Aequipecten scabrella, Aequipecten opercularis and Arctica islandica are described and revised. In addition, the associated fauna is illustrated, and its biostratigraphic and palaeoclimatic significance is analyzed. This study points out that: 1) the fauna has a high biodiversity, comprising 159 taxa; bivalves are dominant, followed by gastropods, corals, serpulids, brachiopods, echinoids, arthropods (e.g. barnacles), bryozoans and scaphopods; 2) The last occurrences of the bivalves Aequipecten scabrella , Glycymeris inflata and Chama placentina , the first occurrence of Arctica islandica and the last occurrences of the gastropods Turritella tricarinata pliorecens and Nassarius prysmaticus suggest a late Gelasian-Calabrian age (Early Pleistocene) for the investigated marine succession; 3) the occurrence of boreal guests, such as Arctica islandica, Pseudamussium peslutrae and possibly Mytilus edulis, testify to a climatic change with a shift from warm to cold seawater temperatures.

description: We focus our attention, once again, on the Klein--Gordon and Dirac equations with a plane-wave field. We recall that for the first time a set of solutions of these equations was found by Volkov. The Volkov solutions are widely used in calculations of quantum effects with electrons and other elementary particles in laser beams. We demonstrate that one can construct sets of solutions which differ from the Volkov solutions and which may be useful in physical applications. For this purpose, we show that the transversal charge motion in a plane wave can be mapped by a special transformation to transversal free particle motion. This allows us to find new sets of solutions where the transversal motion is characterized by quantum numbers different from Volkov's (in the Volkov solutions this motion is characterized by the transversal momentum). In particular, we construct solutions with semiclassical transversal charge motion (transversal squeezed coherent states). In addition, we demonstrate how the plane-wave field can be eliminated from the transversal charge motion in a more complicated case of the so-called combined electromagnetic field (a combination of a plane-wave field and constant colinear electric and magnetic fields). Thus, we find new sets of solutions of the Klein--Gordon and Dirac equations with the combined electromagnetic field.

description: The past year has seen numerous publications underlining the importance of a space mission to the ice giants in the upcoming decade. Proposed mission plans involve a $\sim$10 year cruise time to the ice giants. This cruise time can be utilized to search for low-frequency gravitational waves (GWs) by observing the Doppler shift caused by them in the Earth-spacecraft radio link. We calculate the sensitivity of prospective ice giant missions to GWs. Then, adopting a steady-state black hole binary population, we derive a conservative estimate for the detection rate of extreme mass ratio inspirals (EMRIs), supermassive- (SMBH) and stellar mass binary black hole (sBBH) mergers. We link the SMBH population to the fraction of quasars $f_\rm{bin}$ resulting from galaxy mergers that pair SMBHs to a binary. For a total of ten 40-day observations during the cruise of a single spacecraft, $\mathcal{O}(f_\rm{bin})\sim0.5$ detections of SMBH mergers are likely, if Allan deviation of Cassini-era noise is improved by $\sim 10^2$ in the $10^{-5}-10^{-3}$ Hz range. For EMRIs the number of detections lies between $\mathcal{O}(0.1) - \mathcal{O}(100)$. Furthermore, ice giant missions combined with the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA) would improve the localisation by an order of magnitude compared to LISA by itself.

description: The evolutionary trends and adaptations of the red deer from the Middle Pleistocene to the present day are well documented in Eurasia. These are generally explained by the high capability of this deer to adapt to different enviromental and climatic conditions. The large number of subspecies attributed to Cervus elaphus , often limited to specific paleogeographical areas above all during the late Middle Pleistocene, can be explained by this characteristic. The abundant remains of red deer collected from Late Pleistocene and older Holocene fossiliferous localities in Italy has allowed a detailed analysis of morphometric features in different areas of the Italian Peninsula and also some interesting paleoecological discussion. The variation and differences observed in the size of the red deer show close relationships with the latitude and the paleoclimate.

description: Seven bryozoan species are described from the shallow-water Aisemont and Lambermont formations (upper rhenana Conodont zone, upper Frasnian) in southern Belgium. The studied interval is situated between the lower and upper Kellwasser events. Among the recognized taxa two species are new: Triznotrypa potii n. sp. and Isostylus veserensis n. sp. In addition, the following species were identified in this assemblage: Fistulipora pavimenta Bigey, 1988, Canutrypa hemispheroidea (Yang, 1954), Eostenopora conspersa Volkova, 1974, Leptotrypella radiata Bigey, 1988, and Anastomopora inflata (Bigey, 1988). The studied bryozoan assemblage of the Frasnian age shows palaeogeographic connections to Iran, Russia (Altai) and Afghanistan. Most of them are documented for the first time in this area and it provides important knowledge of the distribution of bryozoans in the late Frasnian and near the Frasnian-Famennian boundary.

description: We present data on strange particle production in elementary proton-proton collisions at RHIC energies. Comparison to leading order and next-to-leading order (NLO) calculations shows that the fragmentation process is flavor dependent and that higherorder corrections are needed to describe all spectra, in particular at these collision energies, which are modest compared to the Tevatron energies. A model (EPOS) which takes into account multiple scattering between projectile constituents seems to describe the data best.

Nanaki: the definition of sister and sisterhood in the Bala Janam Sakhi recension
Creators: name: Hothi, Sukhjit Kaur
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The objective of this thesis is to unfold the role of Nanaki, the older sister of Nanak, the founder of Sikhism in the Bala recension. In the Bala recension, Nanaki is presented as a powerful and assertive woman. Her status is shown to be much different than the women of contemporary Punjabi Sikh society. Revealing Nanaki's status will give us an understanding of the presentation of women in the early Sikh traditions. The Bala Janam Sakhi recension is very popular among the Punjabi Sikh community of the twentieth century. Therefore, I am using the Bala recension to investigate the role of Nanaki. Other versions of Janam Sakhis recensions also exit, such as Puratan Janam Sakhi recension, Miharban Janam Sakhi recension and Mani Singh Janam Sakhi recension, but they are not followed by Punjabi Sikhs as much as Bala recension. My analysis will focus on the kin relationships of Nanaki, Nanak and their close kin and how they are reflected in the status of women in the Bala recension. Nanaki was Nanak's caretaker, protector and guardian. Nanaki's powerful and authoritarian personality played a vital part in the establishment of Sikhism by Nanak. Nanaki is presented as a powerful and authoritarian daughter, sister, wife and sister-in-law. All these roles of Nanaki will be explored in this thesis.

description: Pair interactions whose Fourier transform is nonnegative and vanishes above a wave number K_0 are shown to give rise to periodic and aperiodic infinite volume ground state configurations (GSCs) in any dimension d. A typical three dimensional example is an interaction of asymptotic form cos(K_0 r)/r^4. The result is obtained for densities rho >= rho_d where rho_1=K_0/2pi, rho_2=(sqrt{3}/8)(K_0/pi)^2 and rho_3=(1/8sqrt{2})(K_0/pi)^3. At rho_d there is a unique periodic GSC which is the uniform chain, the triangular lattice and the bcc lattice for d=1,2,3, respectively. For rho>rho_d the GSC is nonunique and the degeneracy is continuous: Any periodic configuration of density rho with all reciprocal lattice vectors not smaller than K_0, and any union of such configurations, is a GSC. The fcc lattice is a GSC only for rho>=(1/6 sqrt{3})(K_0/pi)^3.

description: With the booming of smart grid, The ubiquitously deployed smart meters constitutes an energy internet of things. This paper develops a novel blockchain-based transactive energy management system for IoT-aided smart homes. We consider a holistic set of options for smart homes to participate in transactive energy. Smart homes can interact with the grid to perform vertical transactions, e.g., feeding in extra solar energy to the grid and providing demand response service to alleviate the grid load. Smart homes can also interact with peer users to perform horizontal transactions, e.g., peer-to-peer energy trading. However, conventional transactive energy management method suffers from the drawbacks of low efficiency, privacy leakage, and single-point failure. To address these challenges, we develop a privacy-preserving distributed algorithm that enables users to optimally manage their energy usages in parallel via the smart contract on the blockchain. Further, we design an efficient blockchain system tailored for IoT devices and develop the smart contract to support the holistic transactive energy management system. Finally, we evaluate the feasibility and performance of the blockchain-based transactive energy management system through extensive simulations and experiments. The results show that the blockchain-based transactive energy management system is feasible on practical IoT devices and reduces the overall cost by 25%.

description: The generalized Maxwell equations including an additional scalar field are considered in the first-order formalism. The gauge invariance of the Lagrangian and equations is broken resulting the appearance of a scalar field. We find the canonical and symmetrical Belinfante energy-momentum tensors. It is shown that the traces of the energy-momentum tensors are not equal to zero and the dilatation symmetry is broken in the theory considered. The matrix Hamiltonian form of equations is obtained after the exclusion of the nondynamical components. The canonical quantization is performed and the propagator of the fields is found in the first-order formalism.

description: We investigate the nature of the diffuse intra-cluster ultraviolet light seen in twelve local starburst galaxies, using long-slit ultraviolet spectroscopy obtained with the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) aboard the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We take this faint intra-cluster light to be the field in each galaxy, and compare its spectroscopic signature with STARBURST99 evolutionary synthesis models and with neighboring star clusters. Our main result is that the diffuse ultraviolet light in eleven of the twelve starbursts lacks the strong O-star wind features that are clearly visible in spectra of luminous clusters in the same galaxies. The difference in stellar features dominating cluster and field spectra indicate that the field light originates primarily from a different stellar population, and not from scattering of UV photons leaking out of the massive clusters. We consider several scenarios to understand the lack of observed O stars in the field, and their implications for the origin of the field stellar population. If the field stellar populations formed in situ, the field must either have an IMF which is steeper than Salpeter (3.0-3.5) or a Salpeter slope with an upper mass cutoff of 30-50 solar masses. If star formation occurs primarily in star clusters, the field could be composed of older, faded clusters, and/or a population which is coeval with the luminous clusters but lower in mass. If the field is composed of older, dissolving clusters, we estimate that star clusters (regardless of mass) need to dissolve on timescales 7-10 Myr to create the field (abridged).

description: We show experimentally that in a supercooled liquid composed of molecules with internal degrees of freedom the internal modes contribute to the frequency dependent shear viscosity and damping of transverse phonons, which results in an additional broadening of the transverse Brillouin lines. Earlier, only the effect of internal modes on the frequency dependent bulk viscosity and damping of longitudinal phonons was observed and explained theoretically in the limit of weak coupling of internal degrees of freedom to translational motion. A new theory is needed to describe this new effect. We also demonstrate, that the contributions of structural relaxation and internal processes to the width of the Brillouin lines can be separated by measurements under high pressure.

description: The agenda of sustainable forest management has gained profound significance with the avowal of the year 2009 as the 'International Year of Ecotourism', followed by regarding 2011 as 'International year of Forest' as well as coining 2014 UNWTO 'World Tourism Day' Theme as 'Tourism and Community Development' complemented by initiatives like MABP (Man & Biosphere Programme), The action plans of UNEP, UNDP, WWF, DFID, World Bank, SGPTF (Small Grants Programme for Tropical Forest) & IUCN have given importance to the forest in a much larger way looking into its conservation aspect more intensively. The term Community Based Conservation (CBC) refers to wildlife conservation efforts that involve community people as an integral part of Forest and Wildlife Conservation Policy. Further, the main aim of the Community Based Conservation effort is to bring the local community at the forefront of the conservation agenda by the tag "forest for people". With the rapid change in the climate and forest cover depreciation strict conservation steps need to be adopted for the future sustainability of the green cover. This work highlights the need for forest conservation while examining the present state of forest conservation in the Indian context. Analyses of successful case studies from Cambodia and Thailand as regards community-Based Conservation which is a novel concept for the upkeep of the forest have been conducted. The paper elucidates how CBC programme can work to produce a better relationship between forest, wildlife and local people, and on the other hand, the vast economic and social improvement that puts in the life of the local community will ultimately produce a more secure future for the forest and wildlife of Asia.

description: We propose theoretically a new effect, i.e. nonlinear planar Nernst effect (NPNE), in nonmagnetic topological insulator (TI) Bi2Te3 in the presence of an in-plane magnetic field. We find that the Nernst current scales quadratically with temperature gradient but linearly with magnetic field and exhibits a cosine dependence of the orientation of the magnetic field with respect to the direction of the temperature gradient. The NPNE has a quantum origin arising from the conversion of a nonlinear transverse spin current to a charge current due to a joint result of hexagonal warping effect, spin-momentum locking, and the time-reversal symmetry breaking induced by the magnetic field.

description: We present observations of Halpha emission line profiles taken at Magellan Observatory for a sample of 39 young low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in the Taurus and Chamaeleon I star forming regions. We have identified 11 new substellar accretors, more than tripling the number of known brown dwarfs with measurable accretion activity. These include the lowest-mass objects yet seen with accretion, with masses down to ~0.015 Msun. Using models of Halpha emission produced in magnetospheric accretion flows, the most widely applicable primary calibrator now available, we determine the first estimates of mass accretion rates for objects at such extremely low masses. For the six objects with masses < 0.03 Msun, we find accretion rates of ~ 5x10^{-12} Msun/yr, among the smallest yet measured. These new results continue the trend of decreasing mass accretion rate with decreasing (sub)stellar mass that we have noted previously for samples of more massive objects; the overall correlation is Mdot \~ M^{2.1}, and now extends over a mass range of over two orders of magnitude. Finally, the absence of a discontinuity in the distribution of accretion rates with mass tends to suggest that stars and brown dwarfs share similar formation histories.

description: The purpose of the present study was to further examine the psychometric properties of the newly developed Behavioural Anger Response Questionnaire (BARQ) and investigate how anger coping styles are conceptually embedded in the Five Factor Model of Personality (FFM). Previous factor analyses have demonstrated that the BARQ captures 6 distinct anger coping dimensions: Aggressive Anger out, Avoidance, JJiffusion, Social Support Seeking, Rurnination, and Assertion. The BARQ and the NEO-FFI were adrriinistered to 400 participants (232 students, 168 community members; 146 men, 226 women; 203 Asian- Canadians, 185 Caucasian-Canadians). Internal consistencies for the BARQ subscales were moderately high, with the exception of Diffusion. Low iotercorrelations were observed between the subscales. Women scored significantly higher than men on Social Support Seeking and sigriificantly lower than men on Aggressive Anger Out. Asian-Canadians scored significantly higher on Avoidant Coping than Caucasian-Canadians. Factor analysis revealed a stable 6 factor solution that fairly represented the subscales of the BARQ; this factor structure was shown to be highly similar to that obtained with alternate samples. Factor analyses were conducted on the data from each subgroup; these factor structures were also shown to be highly similar. Highly significant correlations were observed between Rurnination and Neuroticism (r = .47, p < .001) and Aggression and Agreeableness (r = -.51, p < .001). A moderate negative correlation was observed between Rumination and Agreeableness (r = -.29, p < .001). These correlations remained stable across all subgroups. Avoidant coping did not correlate well with any of the NEO subscales. These results suggest that the BARQ is a psychometrically sound and original measure and that the factorial model of anger coping underlying the BARQ can only be partially placed within the structure of the FFM.

description: Marangoni instabilities can emerge when a liquid interface is subjected to a concentration or temperature gradient. It is generally believed that for these instabilities bulk effects like buoyancy are negligible as compared to interfacial forces, especially on small scales. Consequently, the effect of a stable stratification on the Marangoni instability has hitherto been ignored. Here we report, for an immiscible drop immersed in a stably stratified ethanol-water mixture, a new type of oscillatory solutal Marangoni instability which is triggered once the stratification has reached a critical value. We experimentally explore the parameter space spanned by the stratification strength and the drop size and theoretically explain the observed crossover from levitating to bouncing by balancing the advection and diffusion around the drop. Finally, the effect of the stable stratification on the Marangoni instability is surprisingly amplified in confined geometries, leading to an earlier onset.

description: Numerical calculations are shown to reproduce the main results of recent experiments involving nonlocal spin control in nanostructures (N. J. Craig et al., Science 304, 565 (2004)). In particular, the splitting of the zero-bias-peak discovered experimentally is clearly observed in our studies. To understand these results, a simple "circuit model" is introduced and shown to provide a good qualitative description of the experiments. The main idea is that the splitting originates in a Fano anti-resonance, which is caused by having one quantum dot side-connected in relation to the current's path. This scenario provides an explanation of Craig et al.'s results that is alternative to the RKKY proposal, which is here also addressed.

description: Impact rates in the first 500 Myr of the solar system are critical to an understanding of lunar geological history, but they have been controversial. The widely accepted, post-Apollo paradigm of early lunar impact cratering (ca. 1975-2014) proposed very low or negligible impact cratering in the period from accretion (>4.4 Ga) to about 4.0 Ga ago, followed by a 170-million-year-long spike of cataclysmic cratering, during which most prominent multi-ring impact basins formed at age of about 3.9 Ga. More recent dynamical models suggest very early intense impact rates, declining throughout the period from accretion until an age of about 3.0 Ga. These models remove the basin-forming spike. This shift has important consequences on megaregolith evolution and properties of rock samples that can be collected on the lunar surface today. We adopt the Morbidelli et al. (2018) "accretion tail" model of early intense bombardment, declining as a function of time. We find effects differing from the previous models: early crater saturation and supersaturation; disturbance of magma ocean solidification; deep early megaregolith; and erosive destruction of the earliest multi-ring basins, their impact melts, and their ejecta blankets. Our results explain observations such as differences in numbers of early lunar impact melts vs. numbers of early igneous crustal rocks, highland breccias containing impact melts as old as 4.35 Ga, absence of a 170 Myr-long spike in impact melt ages at 3.9 Ga among lunar and asteroidal meteorites, and GRAIL observations of lunar crustal structure.

description: For chemical reaction networks described by a master equation, we define energy and entropy on a stochastic trajectory and develop a consistent nonequilibrium thermodynamic description along a single stochastic trajectory of reaction events. A first-law like energy balance relates internal energy, applied (chemical) work and dissipated heat for every single reaction. Entropy production along a single trajectory involves a sum over changes in the entropy of the network itself and the entropy of the medium. The latter is given by the exchanged heat identified through the first law. Total entropy production is constrained by an integral fluctuation theorem for networks arbitrarily driven by time-dependent rates and a detailed fluctuation theorem for networks in the steady state. Further exact relations like a generalized Jarzynski relation and a generalized Clausius inequality are discussed. We illustrate these results for a three-species cyclic reaction network which exhibits nonequilibrium steady states as well as transitions between different steady states.

description: In this paper we solved the new evolution equation for high energy scattering amplitudethat stems from the Gribov-Zwanziger approach to the confinement of quarks and gluons. We found that (1) the energy dependence of the scattering amplitude turns out to be the same as for QCD BFKL evolution; (2) the spectrum of the new equation does not depend on the details of the Gribov-Zwanzinger approach and (3) all eigenfunctions coincide with the eigenfunctions of the QCD BFKL equation at large transverse momenta $κ\,\geq\,1$. The numerical calculations show that there exist no new eigenvalues with the eigenfunctions which decrease faster than solutions of the QCD BFKL equation at large transverse momenta. The structure of the gluon propagator in Gribov-Zwanziger approach, that stems from the lattice QCD and from the theoretical evaluation, results in the exponential suppression of the eigenfunctions at long distances and in the resolution of the difficulties, which the Colour Glass Condensate (CGC) and some other approaches, based on perturbative QCD, face at large impact parameters. We can conclude that the confinement of quark and gluons, at least in the form of Gribov-Zwanziger approach, does not influence on the scattering amplitude except solving the long standing theoretical problem of its behaviour at large impact parameters.

description: Background
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is being introduced to the Lean methodologies of 5S and Managing for Daily Improvement (MDI). Lean methodologies are designed to streamline activities, creating a smooth flow of work, reduce waste and unnecessary steps, and improve timeliness. The first phase is to identify an area in need of improvement in the department and initiate a 5S process. Next, the team implements the MDI process and begins shift huddles.

Objectives
The objectives of this process are to: (1)Develop standards for equipment, layout, supplies, and workflows, (2)Review department performance in real time (using the MDI process), (3)Develop real time problem solving amongst teams, (4) Understand leaders’ standard work as part of  sustaining the process, (5)Engage staff to understand how continuous improvement positively impacts both the work flow of the NICU and the care of the infants and their families.

ConclusionsThe Lean methodology was an excellent learning experience for the participants.
 The challenge is to sustain these changes for improvement in the equipment room and the daily huddles.
 To continue to improve the MDI process using the MDI principles on a daily basis and monitor these parameters.
 Feedback from the staff of the NICU will be important for continuous improvement.

description: A chaetetid sponge and coral fauna from a Carboniferous exotic limestone block in the Lower Jurassic Esciorda olistostrome on the Bodrak River (Crimean Mountains) are described for the first time. The Bodrak exotic block is composed of massive limestone. It contains the chaetetid Chaetetes (Boswellia) sp., the tabulate coral Multithecopora sp., and poorly preserved rugose corals, including Dibunophyllum? sp., Cordibia? sp. and gen. et sp. indet. Only the fasciculate colonies of the rugose coral Lytvophyllum askynensis (Kossovaya, 2009) are confidently identified. The studied association of fossils is similar to that of the Donets Basin and the Urals and confirms the Lower Bashkirian age of the Bodrak limestone block.

description: Probabilistic arguments about the existence of technological life beyond Earth traditionally refer to the Drake equation to draw possible estimates of the number of technologically advanced civilizations releasing, either intentionally or not, electromagnetic emissions in the Milky Way. Here, we introduce other indicators than Drake's number $N_D$ to develop a demography of artificial emissions populating the Galaxy. We focus on three main categories of statistically independent signals (isotropic, narrow beams, and rotating beacons) to calculate the average number $N_G$ of emission processes present in the Galaxy and the average number of them crossing Earth, $\bar{k}$, which is a quantity amenable to statistical estimation from direct observations. We show that $\bar{k}$ coincides with $N_D$ only for isotropic emissions, while $\bar{k}$ can be orders of magnitude smaller than $N_D$ in the case of highly directional signals. We further show that while $N_D$ gives the number of emissions being released at the present time, $N_G$ considers also the signals from no longer active emitters but whose emissions still occupy the Galaxy. We find that as long as the average longevity of the emissions is shorter than about $10^5$ yr, $N_G$ is fully determined by the rate of emissions alone, in contrast to $N_D$ and $\bar{k}$ which depend also on the emission longevity. Finally, using analytic formulas of $N_G$, $N_D$, and $\bar{k}$ determined for each type of emission processes here considered, we provide a comprehensive overview of the values these quantities can possibly achieve as functions of the emission birthrates, longevities, and directionality.
