description: During 2019 and 2020, the CERN tape archive (CTA) will receive new data from LHC experiments and import existing data from CASTOR, which will be phased out for LHC experiments before Run 3. This contribution will present the statuses of CTA as a service and of its integration with EOS and FTS and the data flow chains of LHC experiments. The latest enhancements and additions to the software as well as the development outlook will be presented. With the development of the repack function, a necessary behind-the-scenes feature, CTA can now take over custodial data and handle media migration, compaction and failures. Further metadata handling optimizations allowed doubling the maximum file rate performance to 200Hz per queue. New retrieve scheduling options are being developed at the request of experiments, with optional FIFO behavior to ensure better control of the timing for datasets retrieve, and fair share support for competing activities within the same VO. Support for multiple backend databases (Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL) have been developed at CERN and contributed by external institutes. This contribution will also report on the challenges of and solutions for migrating data from the decades old CASTOR to CTA. The practical example of the preparation for the migration of Atlas data will be presented.

description: Optical studies of ultraluminous X-ray sources (ULX) in nearby galaxies have turned out to be instrumental in discriminating between various models including the much advertised intermediate mass black hole hypothesis and various beaming scenarios. Here we report on ESO VLT and SUBARU observations of ULX that have revealed the parent stellar clusters with ages of some 60 million years in two cases. Thus we are able to derive upper limits of about 8 M_sun for the mass donors in these systems. The optical counterparts are dominated by X-ray heated accretion disks, and the discovery of the HeII4686 emission line now allows to derive dynamical masses in these systems. Apparent radial velocity variations of 300 km/s have been detected in NGC 1313 X-2 which, if confirmed by further observations, would exclude the presence of IMBH in these systems.

description: The dynamic behavior of a capacitive micro-electro-mechanical (MEMS) accelerometer is evaluated by using a theoretical approach which makes use of a squeeze film damping (SFD) model and ideal gas approach. The study investigates the performance of the device as a function of the temperature, from 228 K to 398 K, and pressure, from 20 to 1000 Pa, observing the damping gas trapped inside de mechanical transducer. Thermoelastic properties of the silicon bulk are considered for the entire range of temperature. The damping gases considered are Air, Helium and Argon. The global behavior of the system is evaluated considering the electro-mechanical sensitivity (SEM) as the main figure of merit in frequency domain. The results show the behavior of the main mechanism losses of SFD, as well as the dynamic sensitivity of the MEMS transducer system, and are in good agreement with experimental dynamic results behavior.

description: We combine spectroscopic measurements of H$α$ and H$β$ and UV continuum photometry for a sample of 673 galaxies from the MOSFIRE Deep Evolution Field survey to constrain hydrogen ionizing photon production efficiencies ($ξ_{\rm ion}$, xi_ion) at z=1.4-2.6. We find average log(xi_ion/[Hz erg$^{-1}$])=25.06 (25.34), assuming the Calzetti (SMC) curve for the UV dust correction and a scatter of 0.28 dex in xi_ion distribution. After accounting for observational uncertainties and variations in dust attenuation, we conclude that the remaining scatter in xi_ion is likely dominated by galaxy-to-galaxy variations in stellar populations, including the slope and upper-mass cutoff of the initial mass function, stellar metallicity, star-formation burstiness, and stellar evolution (e.g., single/binary star evolution). Moreover, xi_ion is elevated in galaxies with high ionization states (high [OIII]/[OII]) and low oxygen abundances (low [NII]/H$α$ and high [OIII]/H$β$) in the ionized ISM. However, xi_ion does not correlate with the offset from the z~0 star-forming locus in the BPT diagram, suggesting no change in the hardness of ionizing radiation accompanying the offset from the z~0 sequence. We also find that galaxies with blue UV spectral slopes ($\langleβ\rangle$=-2.1) have elevated xi_ion by a factor of ~2 relative to the average xi_ion of the sample ($\langleβ\rangle$=-1.4). If these blue galaxies are similar to those at z > 6, our results suggest that a lower Lyman continuum escape fraction is required for galaxies to maintain reionization, compared to the canonical xi_ion predictions from stellar population models. Furthermore, we demonstrate that even with robustly dust-corrected H$α$, the UV dust attenuation can cause on average a ~0.3dex systematic uncertainty in xi_ion calculations.

Curious Intersections, Uncommon Magic: Steve Reich's It's Gonna Rain
Creators: Scherzinger, Martin
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Music

description: 1965 was a watershed year in the life of Steve Reich. Following numerous
experiments with magnetic tape, he had, while creating his tape piece It's
Gonna Rain, identified a fascinating process that would serve as the basic
compositional tool of his output until about 1971, and as a foundational
component of his output thereafter. Reich's preoccupation with process-oriented
music in turn helped define a musical trend that shifted the standard
historical narrative of twentieth -century concert music away from the
reigning high modernist serialism of the 1950s toward minimalism.
Defenders of the new style emphasize the cultural triumph of minimalism.
For Susan McClary, minimalism is "perhaps the single most viable
extant strand of the Western art-music tradition;" for K. Robert Schwarz,
a specialist in this style, minimalism is "a potent force ... its influence is
pervasive and enduring;" and for the composer John Adams, minimalism
is "the only really interesting, important stylistic development in the past
30 years" (McClary 2004:289-98; Schwarz 1997:1-17; Adams quoted in
Schwarz 1996a:177). These writers often attend to minimalism's programmatic
reaction to the perceived structural complexities of high modernism
with its ametric rhythms and pervasive intervallic dissonances. In contrast
to high modernism, minimalism offered musical structures dearly audible
to the listener; its rhythms were pulse-based, often elaborated in the context
of extended repetition of short musical figures, and its pitch structures were
simple, usually associated with, though not identical to, traditional diatonic
constellations. Commentators may differ on the relationship minimalism
takes to modernism-McClary argues in terms of a qualified Oedipal
"reaction formation" to modernism; Wim Mertens argues in terms of a negative
dialectical "final stage" of high modernism-but few commentators fail
to situate high modernism as the central referent in describing the emergence
of minimalism in music (McClary 2004:292; Mertens 2004:308). Whether
the argument hinges on a theory of history beholden to Freud or one beholden
to Hegel, modernism under these readings remains minimalism's
basic condition of possibility.

description: Family Colubrariidae Dall, 1904   Revised diagnosis. “ Shell medium-large to large, reaching over 110 mm, from narrow fusiform to broad fusiform, with medium to high spire and short but distinct siphonal canal. Protoconch usually paucispiral of 1–2.5 smooth whorls, up to four whorls ( Metula ). Spire whorls evenly convex, without pronounced shoulder. Axial sculpture present or absent; when present, of distinct narrow and closely spaced axial ribs, crossing the spiral cords and forming reticulated sculpture pattern, often with regularly or irregularly spaced varices. Spiral sculpture of weak threads or fine, regularly set, beaded cords or strong spiral cords forming knobs at intersection with axials. Aperture medium to high, lanceolate due to sharp posterior corner. Outer lip usually lirate inside […]. Columella smooth, often heavily callused.” (Kantor et al. 2022: 806).
 Discussion. The relationships of this family were discussed by Kantor et al. (2022) in their buccinoidean molecular phylogeny. The genera Colubraria Schumacher, 1817 and Metula H. Adams & A. Adams, 1853 occur in Paratethyan assemblages.
  Genus Colubraria Schumacher, 1817
 Type species. Colubraria granulata Schumacher, 1817 [= Colubraria muricata ([Lightfoot, 1786]), by monotypy. Present-day, Indo-West Pacific.
 Original diagnosis. “ Aperture oblong oval; outer lip with margin, internally plicate-dentate; inner lip callous, anteriorly thickened and detached. Columella varicose and with transverse folds. Rostrum short, open at both ends and canaliculate.” (Schumacher 1817: 76, translated from Latin).
 Discussion. Colubraria species inhabit shallow marine, rocky and coral environments in tropical, sub-tropical and temperate seas where they feed on the blood of fishes (Modica et al. 2015; Oliverio & Modica 2010). Colubraria is a rare element in the Paratethyan assemblages.

Evolution of the CMS Global Submission Infrastructure for the HL-LHC Era

Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: Efforts in distributed computing of the CMS experiment at the LHC at CERN are now focusing on the functionality required to fulfill the projected needs for the HL-LHC era. Cloud and HPC resources are expected to be dominant relative to resources provided by traditional Grid sites, being also much more diverse and heterogeneous. Handling their special capabilities or limitations and maintaining global flexibility and efficiency, while also operating at scales much higher than the current capacity, are the major challenges being addressed by the CMS Submission Infrastructure team. This contribution will discuss the risks to the stability and scalability of the CMS HTCondor infrastructure extrapolated to such a scenario, thought to be derived mostly from its growing complexity, with multiple Negotiators and schedulers flocking work to multiple federated pools. New mechanisms for enhanced customization and control over resource allocation and usage, mandatory in this future scenario, will be also presented.

description: We study the higher-order Fermi-liquid relations of Kondo systems for arbitrary impurity-electron fillings, extending the many-body quantum theoretical approach of Yamada-Yosida. It includes partly a microscopic clarification of the related achievements based on Nozières' phenomenological description: Filippone, Moca, von Delft, and Mora [Phys.\ Rev.\ B {\bf 95}, 165404 (2017)]. In our formulation, the Fermi-liquid parameters such as the quasi-particle energy, damping, and transport coefficients are related to each other through the total vertex $Γ_{σσ';σ'σ} (ω, ω'; ω', ω)$, which may be regarded as a generalized Landau quasi-particle interaction. We obtain exactly this function up to linear order with respect to the frequencies $ω$ and $ω'$ using the anti-symmetry and analytic properties. The coefficients acquire additional contributions of three-body fluctuations away from half-filling through the non-linear susceptibilities. We also apply the formulation to non-equilibrium transport through a quantum dot, and clarify how the zero-bias peak evolves in a magnetic field.

Disciplinary Movements, the Civil Rights Movement, and Charles Keil's Urban Blues
Creators: Sakakeeny, Matt
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Music

description: Charles Keil was in his midtwenties when he published his first book, Urban
Blues (1966a), based on his master's thesis in anthropology at the University
of Chicago. In many ways, it was the summation of his experiences and
encounters up to that point: a childhood in rural Connecticut where his
grandfather raised pigs; a love of jazz that began with drum lessons from
his uncle (an example of what colleague Steven Feld described as "white
male bonding through black music" [Keil and Feld 1994:2]); undergraduate
schooling at Yale that included travel to the West Indies and Nigeria;
1960s countercultural activism intensified by a relationship with Malcolm
X; a tumultuous graduate school experience under the tutelage of Clifford
Geertz, David Schneider, and Marshall Sahlins in anthropology, Leonard
Meyer in musicology, and Alan Merriam in ethnomusicology; and finally
fieldwork in the theaters, nightclubs, radio stations, recording studios, and
tour buses connected to the bustling blues scene in Chicago.
The appearance of Urban Blues was not revolutionary because it came
from the hand of a humanist prodigy, but because Keil approached a modern,
urban African American musical style with such rigor. In the current
disciplinary climate of critical musicology, ethnomusicology, anthropology,
and Black Studies, it is difficult to grasp that Urban Blues was not only one of
the first scholarly texts based on fieldwork in urban Afro-America, but was
also one of the first ethnographic monographs dedicated to an American
popular music form, and was the first to eschew transcription and detailed
musical-structural analysis in favor of a sociocultural approach.

Der Tod und die Forelle: New Thoughts on Schubert's Quintet
Creators: Griffel, L. Michael
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Music

description: In the early years of Current Musicology, the only required courses beyond the MA level for PhD students in historical musicology were the two "Research Seminars in Musicology;' one taught by Denis Stevens and the other by Paul Henry Lang. These courses were designed to engage advanced students in original research, advanced methodology, and significant writing and to prepare them for the qualifying examinations on music history and on theoretical and aesthetic writings in the required languages (French, German, Italian, and Latin). In the fall of 1968, Professor Lang selected as his topic for the research seminar (in which I was enrolled) the symphonies of Franz Schubert. This was the last research seminar given by Professor Lang, who was approaching retirement from Columbia. He divulged to those of us taking the course that in his opinion the three master composers of the tonal era who were most in need of scholarly attention were Handel, Haydn, and Schubert. Lang self-confidently claimed that his recently published study of Handel was setting the record straight on that great composer but that similar work still needed to be done on the other two, and especially on Schubert's instrumental compositions. The seminar whetted my appetite, and I soon found that Lang was quite right: there was, for example, not a single complete recording of the Schubert symphonies by a major orchestra back in 1968. I decided to write my PhD dissertation on the Schubert symphonies, and so my interest in Schubert's instrumental music got its start.

description: Recently, a complex network based method of Visibility Graph has been applied to confirm the scale-freeness and presence of fractal properties in the process of multiplicity fluctuation. Analysis of data obtained from experiments on hadron-nucleus and nucleus-nucleus interactions results in values of Power-of-Scale-freeness-of-Visibility-Graph-(PSVG) parameter extracted from the visibility graphs. Here, the relativistic nucleus-nucleus interaction data have been analysed to detect azimuthal-anisotropy by extending the Visibility Graph method and extracting the average clustering coefficient, one of the important topological parameters, from the graph. Azimuthal-distributions corresponding to different pseudorapidity-regions around the central-pseudorapidity value are analysed utilising the parameter. Here we attempt to correlate the conventional physical significance of this coefficient with respect to complex-network systems, with some basic notions of particle production phenomenology, like clustering and correlation. Earlier methods for detecting anisotropy in azimuthal distribution, were mostly based on the analysis of statistical fluctuation. In this work, we have attempted to find deterministic information on the anisotropy in azimuthal distribution by means of precise determination of topological parameter from a complex network perspective.
Instabilities and Non-Reversibility of Molecular Dynamics Trajectories

description: The theoretical justification of the Hybrid Monte Carlo algorithm depends upon the molecular dynamics trajectories within it being exactly reversible. If computations were carried out with exact arithmetic then it would be easy to ensure such reversibility, but the use of approximate floating point arithmetic inevitably introduces violations of reversibility. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, we are usually prepared to accept that such rounding errors can be made small enough to be innocuous, but in certain circumstances they are exponentially amplified and lead to blatantly erroneous results. We show that there are two types of instability of the molecular dynamics trajectories which lead to this behavior, instabilities due to insufficiently accurate numerical integration of Hamilton's equations, and intrinsic chaos in the underlying continuous fictitious time equations of motion themselves. We analyze the former for free field theory, and show that it is essentially a finite volume effect. For the latter we propose a hypothesis as to how the Liapunov exponent describing the chaotic behavior of the fictitious time equations of motion for an asymptotically free quantum field theory behaves as the system is taken to its continuum limit, and explain why this means that instabilities in molecular dynamics trajectories are not a significant problem for Hybrid Monte Carlo computations. We present data for pure $SU(3)$ gauge theory and for QCD with dynamical fermions on small lattices to illustrate and confirm some of our results.

CMS Strategy for HPC resource exploitation
Creators: name: Yzquierdo, Antonio Perez-Calero
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2019

description: High Energy Physics (HEP) experiments will enter a new era with the start of the HL-LHC program, where computing needs required will surpass by large factors the current capacities. Looking forward to this scenario, funding agencies from participating countries are encouraging the HEP collaborations to consider the rapidly developing High Performance Computing (HPC) international infrastructures as a mean to satisfy at least a fraction of the foreseen HEP processing demands. Moreover, considering that HEP needs have been usually covered by facilities cost-optimized rather than performance-optimized, employing HPC centers would also allow access to more advanced resources. HPC systems are highly non-standard facilities, custom­-built for use cases largely different from CMS demands, namely the processing of real and simulated particle collisions which can be analyzed individually without any correlation. The utilization of these systems by HEP experiments would not trivial, as each HPC center is different, increasing the level of complexity from the CMS integration and operations perspectives. Additionally, while CMS data is residing on a distributed highly-interconnected storage infrastructure, HPC systems are in general not meant for accessing large data volumes residing outside the facility. Finally, the allocation policies to these resources is quite different from the current usage of pledged resources deployed at CMS supporting Grid sites. This contribution will report on the CMS strategy developed to make effective use of HPC resources, involving a closer collaboration between CMS and HPC centers in order to further understand and subsequently overcome the present obstacles. Progress in the necessary technical and operational adaptations being made in CMS computing will be described.

description: In this paper, we model the chemical evolution of a 0.25 M$_{\odot}$ protoplanetary disc surrounding a 1 M$_{\odot}$ star that undergoes fragmentation due to self-gravity. We use Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics including a radiative transfer scheme, along with time-dependent chemical evolution code to follow the composition of the disc and resulting fragments over approximately 4000 yrs. Initially, four quasi-stable fragments are formed, of which two are eventually disrupted by tidal torques in the disc. From the results of our chemical modelling, we identify species that are abundant in the fragments (e.g. H$_{\rm 2}$O, H$_{\rm 2}$S, HNO, N$_{\rm 2}$, NH$_{\rm 3}$, OCS, SO), species that are abundant in the spiral shocks within the disc (e.g. CO, CH$_{\rm 4}$, CN, CS, H$_{\rm 2}$CO), and species which are abundant in the circumfragmentary material (e.g. HCO$^{\rm +}$). Our models suggest that in some fragments it is plausible for grains to sediment to the core before releasing their volatiles into the planetary envelope, leading to changes in, e.g., the C/O ratio of the gas and ice components. We would therefore predict that the atmospheric composition of planets generated by gravitational instability should not necessarily follow the bulk chemical composition of the local disc material.

Hearing Emerson, Lake, and Palmer Anew: Progressive Rock as "Music of Attractions"
Creators: Hung, Eric
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2005
Subjects: Music

description: Progressive rock is a loose label for music that combines some of the basic
ingredients of early rock 'n' roll and elements of genres that are generally
considered more prestigious, such as Western art music, jazz, and Indian
classical music. After emerging in the late 1960s, progressive rock reached
its peak in popularity in the early 1970s. Since the rise of punk in the mid
1970s, the genre has retreated to the college circuit, select clubs, and fringe
festivals.
Over the past quarter century, there have been two common stances on
progressive rock. One builds upon rock critics' longstanding and overwhelmingly
negative view of the genre. For most critics, such as Dave Marsh and
Lester Bangs, the most important element of rock is the rather ambiguous
concept of "authenticity." Theoretically, "authenticity" is connected with
genuineness. A song is "authentic" when it is written (or at least arranged) by
the performing musicians, and is about their lives and emotions. Although songwriting credits are easily conveyed, this notion of authenticity is not
particularly useful in criticism. After all, how would a critic know whether
or not the feelings expressed in a song are genuine? In practice, many critics
track authenticity with more obvious qualities: a sense of rebelliousness,
the inclusion of blues elements such as blues progressions and extended
vocal melismas, and subtle inflections of the beat. Given these criteria, the
negative critical reception of progressive rock-exemplified by the strongly
worded Lester Bangs quote above-is hardly surprising. After all, progressive
rock musicians diluted the influence of blues in rock music by incorporating
elements of many other genres. They also took away the sexuality and
rebelliousness often heard in rock's hard-driving beat, replacing it with
complex meters that are not suited to dancing.

The Idea of Transfiguration in the Early German Reception of Mozart's Requiem
Creators: Kramer, Elizabeth

description: Over the past two hundred years, authorship disputes have dominated scholarly
discussions about Mozart's Requiem. From the analysis of handwriting
to the provenance of manuscript evidence, much debate has occurred over
who wrote what when and about the relationship of these details to the
larger contexts for the work. l In our attempts to present new evidence and
theories regarding the Requiem, however, we have largely ignored the very
reasons for investigating its genesis and composition in the first place. Our
motivations as scholars, given Mozart's canonical status and the continual
influence of the work, may seem obvious today. But what inspired the initial
conversation? This essay works from the premise that early nineteenth-century
interest in the authorship of the Requiem grew out of a wider movement
of Kunstreligion (art religion) in German musical aesthetics of the time.
In connection with Kunstreligion, the idea of transfiguration entered music
criticism and writings on aesthetics around 1800 and played a pivotal role in
early texts about the Requiem. Initially employed in vivid comparisons of the
Requiem to Raphael's Transfiguration of Christ, the idea of transfiguration
shaped the debates about the authenticity of Mozart's composition in the
1820s. Critics such as Friedrich Rochlitz, E. T. A. Hoffmann, Gottfried Weber,
and Adolf Bernhard Marx understood the Requiem as the transfiguration of
its composer, listeners, and of music itself. The composition was imagined
to be a site of Mozart's own transfiguration, and concert reviewers described
the heightened "spiritual listening" of some of the Requiem's first performers
and audiences, whose profound experiences were seemingly evoked by
presentations of the work. Drawing on a slightly different sense of the idea
of transfiguration, the Requiem itself was at the center of a transformation
of existing generic categories: what previously would have been considered
"church music" ("Kirchenmusik") now fit into a newer category of "religious
music" ("religiose Musik"). These manifestations of transfiguration,
which developed out of the broader movement of early nineteenth-century
Kunstreligion, led commentators to express concerns about the authenticity
of Mozart's final work. After a survey of the ideas of Kunstreligion and
transfiguration in early nineteenth-century writings about music, this essay
traces the role of the concept of transfiguration in the reception of the
Requiem, from the early anecdotes to the later controversy.
A Review and Analysis of Eye-Gaze Estimation Systems, Algorithms and Performance Evaluation Methods in Consumer Platforms

description: In this paper a review is presented of the research on eye gaze estimation techniques and applications, that has progressed in diverse ways over the past two decades. Several generic eye gaze use-cases are identified: desktop, TV, head-mounted, automotive and handheld devices. Analysis of the literature leads to the identification of several platform specific factors that influence gaze tracking accuracy. A key outcome from this review is the realization of a need to develop standardized methodologies for performance evaluation of gaze tracking systems and achieve consistency in their specification and comparative evaluation. To address this need, the concept of a methodological framework for practical evaluation of different gaze tracking systems is proposed.

Disruptive Spatiality and the Experience of Recordings of Bach's Solo Cello Suites

description: Architecture, so the saying goes, is "frozen music." Music, conversely, is "liquid" architecture. This aphorism, popular in the early nineteenth century, soon became a cliche. "Should one perhaps speak of ruins;' quips Schopenhauer in 1844, "as a 'frozen cadenza'?". However maligned, though, the cliche persists in Bach studies. It is still commonplace to speak of the "architecture" of Bach's music (Wolff 1969; Schulenberg 1992; Corten 1995), and even the composer himself has been labeled an "architect" (Joseph 1992). The very structures of this music, we are frequently told, are "architectonic:'  While discourse on Bach has tended to adopt this architectural metaphor as an unquestioned, and at times tacit, assumption, there is little evidence to suggest that his music corresponds with any degree of precision to concrete examples of architectural theory or practice. Nor have commentators drawn consistent parallels between Bach's music and anyone architectural style, let alone a single historical period. The analogy between high Gothic architecture and Bach's counterpoint was common in the first half of the nineteenth century, and articles and books on Bach continue to be peppered with pictures of Gothic cathedrals. Other commentators, however, claim to detect stylistic parallels with the architecture of Baroque Rome: Raymond Court, for instance, writes that "we place the music of J. S. Bach opposite this grand Baroque architecture of papal Rome as in a mirror in order to discover analogous stylistic traits" (1989:15).

description: We provide an ergodic theorem for certain Banach-space valued functions on structures over $\ZZ^d$, which allow for existence of frequencies of finite patterns. As an application we obtain existence of the integrated density of states for associated finite-range operators in the sense of convergence of the distributions with respect to the supremum norm. These results apply to various examples including periodic operators, percolation models and nearest-neighbour hopping on the set of visible points. Our method gives explicit bounds on the speed of convergence in terms of the speed of convergence of the underlying frequencies. It uses neither von Neumann algebras nor a framework of random operators on a probability space.

description: The ARM platform extends from the mobile phone area to development board computers and servers. It could be that in the future the importance of the ARM platform will increase if new more powerful (server) boards are released. For this reason CMSSW has previously been ported to ARM in earlier work. The CMS software is deployed using CVMFS and the jobs are run inside Singularity containers. Some ARM aarch64 CMSSW releases are available in CVMFS for testing and development. In this work CVMFS and Singularity have been compiled and installed on an ARM cluster and the aarch64 CMSSW releases in CVMFS have been used. We report on our experiences with this ARM cluster for CMSSW jobs.

Gailleagrassor

description: Gailleagrassor nov. gen.
 Type species. Gailleagrassor paratethyca nov. sp.; Middle Miocene, Austria.
 Diagnosis. Moderately large, elongate fusiform shell with cancellate sculpture on early teleoconch whorls, abapically sculpture of prominent narrow, flat spiral cords, typically with one weaker secondary intercalated between primaries.
 Description. As for type species.
 Etymology. Combination of Gaillea and Calagrassor, referring to the intermediate position of the new genus.
 Included species. Only the type species is known.
 Stratigraphic and geographic range. Badenian/Langhian (Middle Miocene), Central Paratethys Sea.
 Paleoenvironment. Unknown; probably middle to outer neritic environments.
 Discussion. Gailleagrassor is reminiscent of Calagrassor and Gaillea Kantor, Puillandre, Fraussen, Fedosov & Bouchet, 2013 [type species Eosipho coriolis Bouchet & Warén, 1986; present-day, Philippines]. The strongly differentiated sculpture of primary and secondary spiral cords distinguishes Gailleagrassor from Calagrassor, which has spiral cords of equal size (Fraussen & Stahlschmidt 2016b). All extant Gaillea species differ from the fossil Paratethyan species in their broader, ovoid shape and they lack broad, flat spiral cords. Moreover, all Indo-West Pacific Gaillea species are characterized by an angulate shoulder, differing clearly from Gailleagrassor. In contrast, the Caribbean Buccinum canetae Clench & Aguayo, 1944, which is currently placed in Gaillea (e.g., Fraussen & Stahlschmidt 2016b), has rounded whorls like the Paratethyan species. No molecular data are available to prove the placement of the Caribbean species in Gaillea and based on the different morphology, we suspect, that ‘ Gaillea’ canetae (Clench & Aguayo, 1944) might turn out to belong to a different genus. Indeed, ‘ Gaillea ’ canetae could be closer related to Gailleagrassor paratethyca than the IWP species of Gaillea. Nevertheless, the two species are unlikely to be congeneric because the Caribbean species differs in its relatively broader shell, the narrower spiral cords, and the presence of fold-like opisthocyrt axial ribs (see Fraussen & Stahlschmidt 2016b; figs 74–75).

description: The dynamical properties and mechanical functions of amorphous materials are governed by their microscopic structures, particularly the elasticity of the interaction networks, which is generally complicated by structural heterogeneity. This ubiquitous heterogeneous nature of amorphous materials is intriguingly attributed to a complex role of entropy. Here, we show in disordered networks that the vibrational entropy increases by creating phase-separated structures when the interaction connectivity is close to the onset of network rigidity. The stress-energy, which conversely penalizes the heterogeneity, finally dominates a smaller vicinity of the rigidity threshold at the glass transition and creates a homogeneous intermediate phase. This picture of structures changing between homogeneous and heterogeneous phases by varying connectivity provides an interpretation of the transitions observed in chalcogenide glasses.
