description: In this paper, we present a novel system for predicting vessel turnaround time, based on machine learning and standardized port call data. We also investigate the use of specific external maritime big data, to enhance the accuracy of the available data and improve the performance of the developed system. An extensive evaluation is performed in Port of Bordeaux, where we report the results on 11 years of historical port call data and provide verification on live, operational data from the port. The proposed automated data-driven turnaround time prediction system is able to perform with increased accuracy, in comparison with the current manual expert-based system in Port of Bordeaux.

description: There has been an increasing interest in spiking neural networks in recent years. SNNs are seen as hypothetical solutions for the bottlenecks of ANNs in pattern recognition, such as energy efficiency. But current methods such as ANN-to-SNN conversion and back-propagation do not take full advantage of these networks, and unsupervised methods have not yet reached a success comparable to advanced artificial neural networks. It is important to study the behavior of SNNs trained with unsupervised learning methods such as spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) on video classification tasks, including mechanisms to model motion information using spikes, as this information is critical for video understanding. This paper presents multiple methods of transposing temporal information into a static format, and then transforming the visual information into spikes using latency coding. These methods are paired with two types of temporal fusion known as early and late fusion, and are used to help the spiking neural network in capturing the spatio-temporal features from videos. In this paper, we rely on the network architecture of a convolutional spiking neural network trained with STDP, and we test the performance of this network when challenged with action recognition tasks. Understanding how a spiking neural network responds to different methods of movement extraction and representation can help reduce the performance gap between SNNs and ANNs. In this paper we show the effect of the similarity in the shape and speed of certain actions on action recognition with spiking neural networks, we also highlight the effectiveness of some methods compared to others.
Exploring Unconventional Features Of Light Dynamics In Aubrey-Andre-Harper Model Based Quasi-periodic Optical Lattices

description: We report an Aubrey-Andre-Harper (AAH) model based quasi-periodic lossless evanescently coupled waveguide lattice to study the unconventional physics of light localization. We present an exclusive methodical analysis of the band-topology of a tight-binding discrete lattice and accordingly study the modal characteristics to reveal the fact that a higher value of quasi-periodic modulation strength is imperative for observing a signature of fully localized light states having higher eigenenergy. This analytical concept has numerically been implemented in the proposed topological lattice to achieve light localization, where we have shown that the supported states not only depend on topological parameters, but also on the specific location of excitation which is supported by the violation of bulk-edge correspondence due to quasi-periodicity. Furthermore, we have investigated a unique effect of the presence of disorder on light localization phenomenon, where it has been reported that the presence of off-diagonal disorder, which is otherwise detrimental, favours light localization in the proposed structure due to topological protection. The findings indeed have the potential to open up a fertile platform to manipulate light in topologically aided passive photonic devices.
Music's debt : a study of poetic influence in mid-eighteenth century German instrumental music
Creators: name: Jang, Laurie
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: The aim of this study is to examine the correspondences of style, technique and aesthetic in poetry and music as it pertains to the musical thought and works of composers centered in Berlin 1740-1760. With the trend toward rational enquiry, the re-affirmation of the Aristotelian theory of imitation, and a return to the ideal of a union of the arts, 18th-century theorists and composers were once again preoccupied with the consanguinity of the "sister" arts of poetry and music. In particular, analogies were made between their materials of expression and the methods by which they achieved their ultimate goal of the imitation of human passions. The "problem" of textless music--i.e., its lack of semantic content--became a primary issue for aesthetic discussion and led to a re-evaluation of music's intrinsic qualities as a medium of expression. Berlin composers working in mid-century were especially susceptible to such aesthetic developments. Led by writer/critics Lessing, Nicolai, and Mendelssohn, a unique literary renaissance characterizing the city was generating wide-spread critical debate on matters concerning the significance and meaning of art. Two major points of discussion among the literati were 1) that since classical times the arts of poetry and music had strayed too far apart, and 2) that music especially needed the support and cognitive power of a poetic text to remain a viable artistic medium. The consequences of these ideas on Berlin composers is immediately apparent in the development of the lied. In this new musical genre which achieved great popularity in Berlin, expression through text and music were considered synonymous as composers worked to close the gap between the two in their technique and methodry. However, the impact of these aesthetic beliefs is not as easily discernible in the instrumental music of mid-eighteenth century Berlin. While it was undisputed that musical tones in themselves contained some indeterminate expressive force, the rationalists' demand for concrete meaning in art led composers to develop and assess their music in terms of poetic criteria. An analysis of their works will illustrate that poetic structure, technique, and materials of expression assumed a primary role in the creation of their art. This study hopes to clarify the relationship between poetry and music through an examination of mid-eighteenth century Berlin's lied aesthetic, and selected instrumental works by J.J. Quantz and C.P.E. Bach composed in Berlin during this period.

description: We present the results of N-body simulations of dissipationless galaxy merging in Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND). For comparison, we also studied Newtonian merging between galaxies embedded in dark matter halos, with internal dynamics equivalent to the MOND systems. We found that the merging timescales are significantly longer in MOND than in Newtonian gravity with dark matter, suggesting that observational evidence of rapid merging could be difficult to explain in MOND. However, when two galaxies eventually merge, the MOND merging end-product is hardly distinguishable from the final stellar distribution of an equivalent Newtonian merger with dark matter.

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: The objective of this study was to assess the prevalence of fluoride education delivery and fluoride varnish application for infants by non-dental providers. Additionally, this study aimed to assess current infant caregiver knowledge regarding fluoride use, including appropriate amounts of toothpaste and understand the reasons for fluoride refusal in the infant caregiver population.
It was predicted that less than 50% of pediatric medical residents are providing the recommended fluoride dental education and fluoride varnish services to their patients. We predicted that less than 50% of infant caregivers use the recommended amount of fluoride toothpaste twice a day when brushing their children’s teeth. We predicted that infants who had their teeth brushed with the recommended amount of fluoridated toothpaste twice a day would have lower dmft/dmfs scores.
Infant caregivers who presented for their child’s first dental exam at UIC COD Infant Oral Health Clinic were surveyed. UIC pediatric medicine residents were also surveyed to understand prevalence of fluoride education and varnish application provided by non-dental providers. During the initial examination, caregivers demonstrated daily toothpaste amount used to brush their children’s teeth by placing toothpaste on the provided toothbrush. Additionally, dmft/dmfs scores were recorded for the infants.
A total of 23 pediatric medical residents completed the surveys during the month of September 2023. Less than 50% of pediatric medical residents provided fluoride education to caregivers of infants (p< 0.05). Pediatric medical residents overwhelmingly did not apply fluoride varnish for infants during their wellness visits (p < 0.05).
Caregivers of infants (n=48) were surveyed between August 2023 and December 2023. More than 50% of caregivers did not use the appropriate amount of fluoridated toothpaste twice a day when brushing their infant’s teeth (p < 0.05). However, there was no significant association between both infant dmft or dmfs scores and appropriate fluoridated toothpaste use (p > .05). Overall, this study sheds light on the barriers of fluoride education from a non-dental provider standpoint and the misunderstanding of appropriate fluoridated toothpaste use from the caregiver standpoint. The misunderstanding or inappropriate use of fluoridated toothpaste in the infant caregiver community may be mitigated by primary care providers helping caregivers understand key oral health practices, such as appropriate use of fluoridated toothpaste, early on in an infant’s life.

description: Selective control in a population is the ability to control a member of the population while leaving the other members relatively unaffected. The concept of selective control is developed using cell death or apoptosis in heterogeneous cell populations as an example. Apoptosis signaling in heterogeneous cells is described by an ensemble of gene networks with identical topology but different link strengths. Selective control depends on the statistics of signaling in the ensemble of networks and we analyse the effects of superposition, non-linearity and feedback on these statistics. Parallel pathways promote normal statistics while series pathways promote skew distributions which in the most extreme cases become log-normal. We also show that feedback and non-linearity can produce bimodal signaling statistics, as can discreteness and non-linearity. Two methods for optimizing selective control are presented. The first is an exhaustive search method and the second is a linear programming based approach. Though control of a single gene in the signaling network yields little selectivity, control of a few genes typically yields higher levels of selectivity. The statistics of gene combinations susceptible to selective control is studied and is used to identify general control strategies. We found that selectivity is promoted by acting on the least sensitive nodes in the case of weak populations, while selective control of robust populations is optimized through perturbations of more sensitive nodes. High throughput experiments with heterogeneous cell lines could be designed in an analogous manner, with the further possibility of incorporating the selectivity optimization process into a closed-loop control system.

description: Data citation is a fundamental step in promoting transparency, credibility, and collaboration in the field of biodiversity research. It ensures that the hard work of data collectors and curators is recognised and facilitates the sharing and integration of valuable biodiversity datasets.

To shed light on the crucial aspects of recognizing and attributing biodiversity research datasets, as well as to provide best practices for standardized dataset citation that acknowledge their creators and sources, ultimately making data more discoverable, reusable, and crediting those who collect and manage it, we have organised a webinar on  6 November 2023, where GBIF experts guide interested stakeholders through the essential techniques for citing biodiversity data effectively.

This presentation by Daniel Noesgaard showcases how to cite data in an efficient way.
Relationship between cellular response and behavioral variability in bacterial chemotaxis

description: Bacterial chemotaxis in Escherichia coli is a canonical system for the study of signal transduction. A remarkable feature of this system is the coexistence of precise adaptation in population with large fluctuating cellular behavior in single cells (Korobkova et al. 2004, Nature, 428, 574). Using a stochastic model, we found that the large behavioral variability experimentally observed in non-stimulated cells is a direct consequence of the architecture of this adaptive system. Reversible covalent modification cycles, in which methylation and demethylation reactions antagonistically regulate the activity of receptor-kinase complexes, operate outside the region of first-order kinetics. As a result, the receptor-kinase that governs cellular behavior exhibits a sigmoidal activation curve. This curve simultaneously amplifies the inherent stochastic fluctuations in the system and lengthens the relaxation time in response to stimulus. Because stochastic fluctuations cause large behavioral variability and the relaxation time governs the average duration of runs in response to small stimuli, cells with the greatest fluctuating behavior also display the largest chemotactic response. Finally, Large-scale simulations of digital bacteria suggest that the chemotaxis network is tuned to simultaneously optimize the random spread of cells in absence of nutrients and the cellular response to gradients of attractant.

Combinatorial Methods for Learning and Information Theory
Creators: name: Maranzatto, Thomas Jacob
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: Combinatorial structures are ubiquitous in Computer Science - graphs, trees, strings, and automata are all used in various subfields as modeling tools and objects of study in their own right. Networks can represent connections between wireless routers, or relations between data in a server. Trees are a natural way of encoding data at a high level, and strings are the low-level equivalent stored in physical memory. Automata are a natural definition of limited computational devices.

This thesis is concerned with these structures in a learning-theoretic setting. We will study four notions of learning. In Chapter 2, we analyze a message passing protocol over graphs, where nodes in the graph are attempting to track the data leaving a source. In this setting, the data at the source is the learned quantity. In chapter 3, we study the sample complexity of recovering arbitrary strings and trees passed through a lossy channel. Here, the the original string/tree is the object to be learned. In chapter 4 we study a search game on a graph, where one player moves a token between vertices, and the other must learn the location of this token using limited feedback. Finally, in Chapter 5 we consider a learning protocol over deterministic finite automata, where the learner is given access only to bits generated from a random walk on the automata, and must learn the structure from these bits.

description: Magnetic x-ray diffraction combined with x-ray focusing optics is used to image individual antiferromagnetic spin density wave domains in a chromium single crystal at the micron scale. The cross section for non-resonant magnetic x-ray scattering depends on the antiferromagnetic modulation vector and spin polarization direction and allows these quantities to be extracted independently. The technique is used to show that the broadening of the nominally first order "spin-flip" transition at 123 K, at which the spins rotate by 90 deg., originates at the walls between domains with orthogonal modulation vectors. During cooling the transition begins at these walls and progresses inwards. The modulation-vector domains are themselves unchanged.

The fighting spirit of hip hop : an alternative ghetto experience
Creators: name: Hull, Susan Hall
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This study investigates the expressive youth movement hip hop, a predominately black male subculture defined through participation in the competitive activities of graffiti writing, rapping and breakdancing. The general objective is to determine what is being communicated through these expressive forms, to whom, how, and finally to suggest why it is being communicated. The extent to which the encoded messages are consistent with reports of the subculture's goals is then discussed. It is asserted that hip hop operates as an alternative identity management and problem-solving mechanism within the black American ghetto. Drawing on traditional aspects of black cultural identity and expressiveness, hip hop creates a distinct way of life, reflecting a constructive and optimistic philosophy, to challenge the existing roles of the street hustler and gang member. Developed in the inner city boroughs of New York City in the late 1960's and early 1970's, hip hop functioned as a non-violent means of projecting a self-image and of measuring self-worth. It continues to be used to confront fundamental issues in a fight to overcome the restrictions of ghetto living, providing an expression of both an aesthetic and a cultural style based on the pursuit of excellence. The focus of the study is a form and content analysis of a selection of recorded raps, which parallels an interpretation of the messages conveyed in the musical form with assertions made by insiders regarding the functioning of hip hop. The thesis explores the hip hop male persona and worldview, his social relations and his role in the community, as they are articulated in the raps. The results of this analysis are then applied to a discussion of hip hop graffiti and breakdancing symbolism. The study concludes that the three expressive forms are communicating the cultural agenda of its members as well as providing the means through which to achieve their goals. It is contended that within hip hop, members empower themselves through aggressive self-glorifying imagery and role-playing, and that they apply this sense of greatness to motivating their community, outlining a strategy for coping with their existence by re-energizing it and transforming it into a positive experience.
Real World Interpretations of Quantum Theory

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: I propose a new class of interpretations, {\it real world interpretations}, of the quantum theory of closed systems. These interpretations postulate a preferred factorization of Hilbert space and preferred projective measurements on one factor. They give a mathematical characterisation of the different possible worlds arising in an evolving closed quantum system, in which each possible world corresponds to a (generally mixed) evolving quantum state. In a realistic model, the states corresponding to different worlds should be expected to tend towards orthogonality as different possible quasiclassical structures emerge or as measurement-like interactions produce different classical outcomes. However, as the worlds have a precise mathematical definition, real world interpretations need no definition of quasiclassicality, measurement, or other concepts whose imprecision is problematic in other interpretational approaches. It is natural to postulate that precisely one world is chosen randomly, using the natural probability distribution, as the world realised in Nature, and that this world's mathematical characterisation is a complete description of reality.

Examining Access for Communities of Color in Public School Policymaking
Creators: name: Coney, Kylee
Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2024

description: In 2013, the Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Board of Education voted to close 50 public schools – instituting the largest public school closure in the U.S. to date. This controversial decision was made despite mass protest from Black and Brown communities leading up to the Board vote. Utilizing case study methodology, Critical Race Theory, and the social construction of target populations theory, I examine the effectiveness of Black and Brown collective voice and political power to influence the creation of 2013 district policy in CPS. I center the experiences of Black and Brown Chicago activists collected in interviews alongside historical data to highlight the degree of access that Black and Brown communities had in CPS to create or influence developing school closure policy during the 2012–2013 school year. I also discuss the practices and structures within CPS that fostered exclusion versus inclusion for communities of color.

Overall, I argue that collaborative education policymaking is crucial to an increase in equitable social and academic outcomes for students of color and correlate the lack of genuine community input in education policymaking with negative student outcomes. Further, I argue that district policymaking that excludes Black and Brown community input is racially unjust and combats the construction of transformative policies that could be generated if processes honored community expertise.

description: The dependency of induction of T cell cytotoxicity on lymphokines was studied. 1 X 10(5) nylon wool-purified thymic lymphocytes or 10(4) spleen cells were cultured with TNP-haptenated syngeneic UV-irradiated spleen cells in the presence of a variety of lymphokine preparations. Concanavalin A-induced spleen cell supernatants mediated strong cytotoxic responses in this system. Three other preparations, namely, a partially purified IL 2 preparation from PMA-stimulated EL-4 thymoma cells, a Con A-induced spleen cell supernatant that was absorbed with an IL 2-dependent cell line, and a Con A-induced supernatant that was dialyzed at pH 2 were all ineffective in mediating a cytotoxic response. In reconstitution experiments, cytotoxic responses were only obtained when either the absorbed preparation or the pH 2-treated preparation was mixed with the IL 2 preparation from EL-4 cells. No reconstitution occurred after mixing of the absorbed with the pH 2-treated preparation. pH 2 treatment of the absorbed preparation did not abolish its synergistic effect when added to the IL 2 preparation from EL-4 cells. These results led to the conclusion that activation of cytotoxic lymphocyte precursors requires at least two other lymphokines in addition to IL 2. One T cell cytotoxicity-inducing factor (TCF1) remained in Con A-induced supernatants after absorption with IL 2 receptor-bearing T cell line cells. It was pH 2-resistant and was not found in EL-4 supernatants. A second T cell cytotoxicity-inducing factor (TCF2) was pH 2-sensitive and was found in Con A-induced spleen cell supernatants as well as in interferon-free supernatants of PMA-stimulated EL-4 cells. This activity co-purified with IL 2. It was absorbed by the IL 2-dependent T cell line together with IL 2. IL 2 differs from TCF2 since it is pH 2-resistant.

La conception et la fabrication de ce piège a été l’occasion pour les membres de l’Atelier et certains expérimentateurs de l’Unité d’échanger leurs savoirs et savoir-faire autour d’un projet commun.

description: Herpes simplex type 1 (HSV-1) is endemic worldwide, with 80% of the population latently infected. HSV-1 is known to undermine host defense responses and invade the nervous system to establish latency in peripheral ganglia. Stress factors can reactivate this virus and recurrent herpes episodes have been associated with different neurodegenerative disorders. Understanding the key host factors that can be targeted to protect host from HSV-1 spread can pave way for future therapeutics. Our lab has previously
found that Optineurin (OPTN) can restrict HSV-1 by utilizing autophagy to selectively degrade key HSV-1 proteins. Reports have implied phosphorylation of OPTN by TBK1 as a requisite for activation of OPTN mediated autophagy. We provide new insight about TBK1 independent HSV-1 restriction by OPTN. We also unveil a novel OPTN-MLKL axis governing not only the viral replication process but also safeguarding against subsequent neurodegeneration. We show that MLKL can aid HSV-1 infection by facilitating its transport to the nucleus. Increase in MLKL expression during infection can also lead to activation of death modalities leading to death of oligodendrocytes and subsequent demyelination. Optineurin can negatively modulate MLKL expression and inhibit HSV-1 induced etiologies. These findings combined will generate new understanding of the host mechanisms that drive infection and pave a path towards developing therapeutic intervention to combat HSV-1 induced pathologies.

description: The names of variables and functions serve as implicit documentation and are instrumental for program comprehension. But choosing good meaningful names is hard. We perform a sequence of experiments in which a total of 334 subjects are required to choose names in given programming scenarios. The first experiment shows that the probability that two developers would select the same name is low: in the 47 instances in our experiments the median probability was only 6.9%. At the same time, given that a specific name is chosen, it is usually understood by the majority of developers. Analysis of the names given in the experiment suggests a model where naming is a (not necessarily cognizant or serial) three-step process: (1) selecting the concepts to include in the name, (2) choosing the words to represent each concept, and (3) constructing a name using these words. A followup experiment, using the same experimental setup, then checked whether using this model explicitly can improve the quality of names. The results were that names selected by subjects using the model were judged by two independent judges to be superior to names chosen in the original experiment by a ratio of two-to-one. Using the model appears to encourage the use of more concepts and longer names.

Trigger-Action Programming in Digital Self-Control Tools to Improve their Long-term Effectiveness

description: Smartphones have become fundamental in our everyday lives. Thanks to the enormous technological advancements of the last twenty years, we can perform a variety of tasks that would be much more complex, if not unfeasible, without them. Unfortunately, this led people to use those devices much more than needed, losing control over them. To contrast this phenomenon, researchers introduced the notion of digital wellbeing and tried to improve it with Digital Self-Control Tools. Those tools guide the user toward more conscious and healthier behaviors, but if not properly calibrated, they may cause reactance, leading to their abandonment.

This document will analyze previous research on this field and End-User Development. We will describe a user study we conducted to extract people's needs in the digital wellbeing field and their opinions about Digital Self-Control Tools and Trigger-Action Programming. We will then map our findings with a theoretical framework, the Habit Alteration Model, which will allow us to understand the study's outcomes better. Inspired by the framework and the study, we will propose an Android application based on rule creation focused on improving its long-term effectiveness. To conclude, we will explain the limitations of our work and how to improve it in the future.

description: In a recent publication Larson \textit{et al.} reported remarkably clear $d$-$d$ excitations for NiO and CoO measured with x-ray energies well below the transition metal $K$ edge. In this letter we demonstrate that we can obtain an accurate quantitative description based on a local many body approach. We find that the magnitude of $\vec{q}$ can be tuned for maximum sensitivity for dipole, quadrupole, etc. excitations. We also find that the direction of $\vec{q}$ with respect to the crystal axes can be used as an equivalent to polarization similar to electron energy loss spectroscopy, allowing for a determination of the local symmetry of the initial and final state based on selection rules. This method is more generally applicable and combined with the high resolution available, could be a powerful tool for the study of local distortions and symmetries in transition metal compounds including also buried interfaces.
Variations in the pickup ion density structure in response to the growth of the Kelvin--Helmholtz instability along the heliopause

description: Features of the response of pickup ions (PUIs) to the Kelvin--Helmholtz instability (KHI) on the heliopause (HP) are examined by means of two-dimensional hybrid simulations. We assume the supersonic neutral solar wind as the source of PUIs gyrating about the magnetic field in the outer heliosheath. These PUIs become energetic neutral atoms (ENAs) via charge exchange with interstellar hydrogen, and a portion of these ENAs are detected by spacecraft such as the Interstellar Boundary Explorer (IBEX}. To evaluate the possibility of identifying the KHI on HP from ENA observations, we assume that an imprint of the KHI may be displayed in spatial and temporal variations in the observed ENA profile. As an alternative to ENA, the column density of PUIs integrated across the HP is calculated. The KH-inducing vortex forces not only background protons but also PUIs to roll up deep in the inner heliosheath. The KH vortex also results in the emission of magnetosonic pulses that sweep PUIs in the outer heliosheath and lead to their local confinement. These effects elongate the PUIs spatial distribution in the direction normal to the HP. The appearance of the local confined structure in the PUIs column density is consequently confirmed, and this feature can be confirmed as the KHI evolution. Although the simulation cannot be quantitatively compared with the observations currently available because its resolution is too small, we expect that the derived properties will be useful for diagnosing the nature of HP fluctuation in future missions.

Self-government in Europe and Canada : a comparison of selected cases
Creators: name: Kopas, Paul Sheldon
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Efforts to clarify aboriginal rights in Canada have centered around the demand by aboriginal people for a constitutionally entrenched right to self-government but the substance and character of that form of government are not defined. Comparative political studies have sought to identify possible features of self-government from other political systems. This study observes that in several European countries there are regions with high degrees of local autonomy then compares them to existing Canadian developments, endeavoring to see what might be learned. From Denmark, the Faroe Islands, and from the British Isles, the Isle of Man and Guernsey, are compared with the James Bay Cree (Quebec) and the Sechelt Band (British Columbia) self-governments and the proposed Territory of Nunavut in Canada. Material was gathered from the literature, from telephone interviews with administrators in the three European jurisdictions, and from personal interviews in Canada. The nascent Canadian experience with self-government includes many of the features of self-government in the European cases and leads to some optimism. Important issues in Canada such as the multitude of cases and the paucity of resources in some aboriginal communities require further study.

description: This volume covers Leg 49 of the cruises of the Drilling Vessel Glomar Challenger. Leg 49 of the International Phase of Ocean Drilling (IPOD) was designed with a wide spectrum of problems in mind. Topics investigated were (1) variation with time of mantle sources of spreading-center magmas, (2) aging of the volcanic layer, (3) degree of hydrothermal alteration and metamorphism of the volcanic layer, (4) lateral and vertical variation of the petrochemistry, magnetic properties, and structure of the volcanic layer, (5) north-south variability of spreading-center magmas through the North Atlantic, (6) initiation of glaciation during the late Pliocene, and (7) the influence of bottom currents originating at the Iceland-Faeroes Ridge on sediments of the ridge flank province of the western North Atlantic. Our drilling program included three holes (407, 408, and 409) on the west flank of the Reykjanes Ridge and seven in the crestal regions of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Glomar Challenger left Aberdeen, Scotland on 18 July 1976 and docked 49 days later, on 4 September, at Funchal, Madeira. During the cruise, Glomar Challenger steamed 4275 miles and carried out operations at eight sites. We drilled 10 holes in water 832 to 2977 meters deep.
