description: More than 500 diffuse interstellar bands (DIBs) have been observed in astronomical spectra, and their signatures and correlations in different environments have been studied over the past decades to reveal clues about the nature of the carriers. We compare the equivalent widths of the DIBs, normalized to the amount of reddening, E_B-V, to search for anti-correlated DIB pairs using a data sample containing 54 DIBs measured in 25 sight lines. This data sample covers most of the strong and commonly detected DIBs in the optical region, and the sight lines probe a variety of ISM conditions. We find that 12.9% of the DIB pairs are anti-correlated, and the lowest Pearson correlation coefficient is r_norm ~ -0.7. We revisit correlation-based DIB families and are able to reproduce the assignments of such families for the well-studied DIBs by applying hierarchical agglomerative and k-means clustering algorithms. We visualize the dissimilarities between DIBs, represented by 1 - r_norm, using multi-dimensional scaling (MDS). With this representation, we find that the DIBs form a rather continuous sequence, which implies that some properties of the DIB carriers are changing gradually following this sequence. We also find at that least two factors are needed to properly explain the dissimilarities between DIBs. While the first factor may be interpreted as related to the ionization properties of the DIB carriers, a physical interpretation of the second factor is less clear and may be related to how DIB carriers interact with surrounding interstellar material.

description: We experimentally map the transverse profile of diffraction-limited beams using photon-number-resolving detectors. We observe strong compression of diffracted beam profiles for high detected photon number. This effect leads to higher contrast than a conventional irradiance profile between two Airy disk-beams separated by the Rayleigh criterion.

description: The observations of the near-infrared excess object G2/DSO induced an increased attention towards the Galactic center and its vicinity. The predicted flaring event in 2014 and the outcome of the intense monitoring of the supermassive black hole in the center of our Galaxy did not fulfill all predictions about a significantly enhanced accretion event. Subsequent observations furthermore addressed the question concerning the nature of the object because of its compact shape, especially during its periapse in 2014. Theoretical approaches have attempted to answer the contradicting behavior of the object, resisting the expected dissolution of a gaseous cloud due to tidal forces in combination with evaporation and hydrodynamical instabilities. However, assuming that the object is rather a dust-enshrouded young stellar object seems to be in line with the predictions of several groups and observations presented in numerous publications. Here we present a detailed overview and analysis of the observations of the object that have been performed with SINFONI (VLT) and provide a comprehensive approach to clarify the nature of G2/DSO. We show that the tail emission consists of two isolated and compact sources with different orbital elements for each source rather than an extended and stretched component as it appeared in previous representations of the same data. Considering our recent publications, we propose that the monitored dust-enshrouded objects are remnants of a dissolved young stellar cluster whose formation was initiated in the Circum-nuclear Disk. This indicates a shared history which agrees with our analysis of the D- and X-sources.

Publisher: name: gjrpublication
Year: 2023

description: Mesiodens is the most common type of anomalous supernumerary teeth that usually occur in anterior maxilla, between the two central incisors. Mesiodens may lead to complications in eruption, alignment and patients’ appearance, and with their varied clinical presentations may raise concerns among parents, patients and dentists. Literature shows different types of mesiodens reported by various authors. In this paper, author has identified a new form of mesiodens occurring in Indian male patient which is not reported or mentioned in the dental anomalies literature till date and suggested a new nomenclature for this different form. Therefore, purpose of the present article is an effort to discuss such a rare case of “multi-lobed incisoriform mesiodens” in association with Talon's cusp which is not reported in the dental literature.

title: Impact of Climate Variability on the Frequency and Severity of Ecological Disturbances in Great Basin Bristlecone Pine Sky Island Ecosystems
Creators: name: Gray, Curtis A
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Great Basin bristlecone pine (GBBP) (Pinus longaevaBailey) is one of the longest-lived organisms on Earth, and is one of the most highly fragmented high elevation conifer species. Throughout the Great Basin of the Intermountain West, GBBP are being impacted by changing disturbance regimes, invasive species, and climate change. To better understand the effects of climate variability and ecological disturbances in GBBP systems, three studies were designed and implemented. The first characterized the distribution of forest fuel in stands of GBBP and predicted how fuels may change under future climate scenarios. Using the Forest Inventory Analysis (FIA) plot variables of tree species, height, diameter at breast height (DBH), canopy base height (CBH), coarse (CWD) and fine (FWD) woody debris across elevational gradients, this study examined the effects of changes to fuel loading on predicted changes in fire behavior and severity. All classes of FWD decreased with elevation, and only 1000-hr fuels remained constant across elevational transects. This, combined with lower CBH and foliar moisture and increasing temperatures due to climate change, suggested increased fire potential at the GBBP treeline. The second study examined the role of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and tree chemistry and their response to the environment. VOCs and within needle chemistry were collected and analyzed along elevational gradients near the northern and southern limits of GBBP. Random Forest analysis distinguished elevation using VOCs, with 83% accuracy, and identified the compounds most important for classification. Ordination revealed that temperature, heat load index, and relative humidity were each significantly correlated with VOCs. Within-needle chemistry provided less predictive value in classifying elevation (68% accuracy) and was correlated only with heat load index. These findings suggest that GBBP VOCs are highly sensitive to the environment. The final study explored the role of VOCs in host selection of mountain pine beetle (MPB). Mountain pine beetles oriented toward VOCs from host limber pine (Pinus flexilis James) and away from VOCs of non-host GBBP using a Y-tube olfactometer. When presented with VOCs of both trees, females overwhelmingly chose limber pine over GBBP. While there were only a few notable differences in VOCs collected from co-occurring GBBP and limber pine, 3-carene and D-limonene were produced in greater amounts by limber pine. There was no evidence that 3-carene is important for beetles when selecting trees, however, addition of D-limonene to GBBP VOCs disrupted the ability of beetles to distinguish between tree species. Climate change will impact how forests are managed and this research could provide insight into the mechanisms underlying the incredible longevity of this iconic tree species.

description: How efficiently can we find an unknown graph using distance queries between its vertices? We assume that the unknown graph is connected, unweighted, and has bounded degree. The goal is to find every edge in the graph. This problem admits a reconstruction algorithm based on multi-phase Voronoi-cell decomposition and using $\tilde O(n^{3/2})$ distance queries. In our work, we analyze a simple reconstruction algorithm. We show that, on random $Δ$-regular graphs, our algorithm uses $\tilde O(n)$ distance queries. As by-products, we can reconstruct those graphs using $O(\log^2 n)$ queries to an all-distances oracle or $\tilde O(n)$ queries to a betweenness oracle, and we bound the metric dimension of those graphs by $\log^2 n$. Our reconstruction algorithm has a very simple structure, and is highly parallelizable. On general graphs of bounded degree, our reconstruction algorithm has subquadratic query complexity.

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

description: Hole doping into a correlated antiferromagnet leads to topological stripe correlations, involving charge stripes that separate antiferromagnetic spin stripes of opposite phase. Topological spin stripe order causes the spin degrees of freedom within the charge stripes to feel a geometric frustration with their environment. In the case of cuprates, where the charge stripes have the character of a hole-doped two-leg spin ladder, with corresponding pairing correlations. Anti-phase Josephson coupling across the spin stripes can lead to pair-density-wave order, in which broken translation symmetry of the superconducting wave function is accommodated by pairs with finite momentum. This scenario has now been experimentally verified by recently reported measurements on La$_{2-x}$Ba$_x$CuO$_4$ with $x=1/8$. While pair-density-wave order is not common as a cuprate ground state, it provides a basis for understanding the uniform $d$-wave order that is more typical in superconducting cuprates.

description: The integration of non-terrestrial networks (NTNs) and terrestrial networks (TNs) is fundamental for extending connectivity to rural and underserved areas that lack coverage from traditional cellular infrastructure. However, this integration presents several challenges. For instance, TNs mainly operate in Time Division Duplexing (TDD). However, for NTN via satellites, TDD is complicated due to synchronization problems in large cells, and the significant impact of guard periods and long propagation delays. In this paper, we propose a novel slot allocation mechanism to enable TDD in NTN. This approach permits to allocate additional transmissions during the guard period between a downlink slot and the corresponding uplink slot to reduce the overhead, provided that they do not interfere with other concurrent transmissions. Moreover, we propose two scheduling methods to select the users that transmit based on considerations related to the Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) or the propagation delay. Simulations demonstrate that our proposal can increase the network capacity compared to a benchmark scheme that does not schedule transmissions in guard periods.

title: 29-Day Analysis of Scale Heights and the Inference of the Topside Ionosphere Over Millstone Hill During the 2002 Incoherent Scatter Radar Campaign
Creators: name: Meehan, Jennifer L
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Ionospheric scale height is a measure of the topside altitude dependence of electron density and is a key ionospheric parameter due to its intrinsic connection to ionospheric dynamics, plasma temperature, and composition. A longtime problem has been that information on the bottomside ionospheric profile is readily available, but the observation of the topside ionosphere is still challenging. Despite numerous data techniques to characterize the topside ionosphere, the knowledge of the behavior of the topside ionosphere and its subsequent scale heights remains insufficient. The goal of this study is to evaluate whether or not we can characterize the topside ionospheric density and temperature profiles in the event that neither temperature nor electron density are measured by using a cost-effective method.
In a simple model, the electron density in the F-region topside decreases exponentially with height. This exponential decay is mainly driven by thermal diffusive equilibrium, but also dependent on the dominant ion species, as well as other drivers during nondiffusive conditions. A scale height based on observations of the temperature can generate topside electron density profiles. While a measure of the electron density profile enables a scale height to be inferred, hence yielding temperature information.
We found a new way to represent how much total electron content (TEC) is allotted for the topside ionosphere. We then used this information to successfully determine TEC using ionosonde data containing only bottomside electron density information. For the first time, slab thickness, which is directly proportional to scale height, was found to be correlated to the peak density height and introduced as a new index, k. Ultimately, k relates electron density parameters and can be a very useful tool for describing the topside ionosphere shape and subsequently, scale height. The methodology of using cost-effective, readily available ionosonde bottomside electron density data combined with GPS TEC was discovered to be capable of inferring the topside ionosphere. This was verified by incoherent scatter radar (ISR) data, though major issues surrounding the availability of ionogram data during nighttime hours greatly limited our study, especially during diffusive equilibrium conditions. Also, significant differences were found between ISR and ionosonde-determined peak density parameters, NmF2 and hmF2, and raised concerns in how the instruments were calibrated.

description: Machine-part interaction classification is a key capability required by Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), a pivotal enabler of Smart Manufacturing (SM). While previous relevant studies on the subject have primarily focused on time series classification, change point detection is equally important because it provides temporal information on changes in behavior of the machine. In this work, we address point detection and time series classification for machine-part interactions with a deep Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) based framework. The CNN in this framework utilizes a two-stage encoder-classifier structure for efficient feature representation and convenient deployment customization for CPS. Though data-driven, the design and optimization of the framework are Subject Matter Expertise (SME) guided. An SME defined Finite State Machine (FSM) is incorporated into the framework to prohibit intermittent misclassifications. In the case study, we implement the framework to perform machine-part interaction classification on a milling machine, and the performance is evaluated using a testing dataset and deployment simulations. The implementation achieved an average F1-Score of 0.946 across classes on the testing dataset and an average delay of 0.24 seconds on the deployment simulations.

title: Neutro-Connectedness Theory, Algorithms and Applications
Creators: name: Xian, Min
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 2017

description: Connectedness is an important topological property and has been widely studied in digital topology. However, three main challenges exist in applying connectedness to solve real world problems: (1) the definitions of connectedness based on the classic and fuzzy logic cannot model the “hidden factors” that could influence our decision-making; (2) these definitions are too general to be applied to solve complex problem; and (4) many measurements of connectedness are heavily dependent on the shape (spatial distribution of vertices) of the graph and violate the intuitive idea of connectedness.
This research focused on solving these challenges by redesigning the connectedness theory, developing fast algorithms for connectedness computation, and applying the newly proposed theory and algorithms to solve challenges in real problems.
The newly proposed Neutro-Connectedness (NC) generalizes the conventional definitions of connectedness and can model uncertainty and describe the part and the whole relationship. By applying the dynamic programming strategy, a fast algorithm was proposed to calculate NC for general dataset. It is not just calculating NC map, and the output NC forest can discover a dataset’s topological structure regarding connectedness.
In the first application, interactive image segmentation, two approaches were proposed to solve the two most difficult challenges: user interaction-dependence and intense interaction. The first approach, named NC-Cut, models global topologic property among image regions and reduces the dependence of segmentation performance on the appearance models generated by user interactions. It is less sensitive to the initial region of interest (ROI) than four state-of-the-art ROI-based methods. The second approach, named EISeg, provides user with visual clues to guide the interacting process based on NC. It reduces user interaction greatly by guiding user to where interacting can produce the best segmentation results.
In the second application, NC was utilized to solve the challenge of weak boundary problem in breast ultrasound image segmentation. The approach can model the indeterminacy resulted from weak boundaries better than fuzzy connectedness, and achieved more accurate and robust result on our dataset with 131 breast tumor cases.

description: E. T. A. Hoffmann’s Der Goldene Topf portrays fantasy and the ideal of romantic aestheticism as utopian on a metafictional level. However, another possibility should be considered: the temporary contemplation within poetry compensates for the loss of belief in the poeticization of the world as conceived by Novalis. The artistic entity cannot immerse itself in the romantic ideal. Since the narrator becomes part of the story and a victim of his imagination, the narration presents a critical viewpoint of the concept of genius.

description: We consider stochastic rules of mass transport which lead to steady states that factorize over the links of a one-dimensional ring. Based on the knowledge of the steady states, we derive the onset of a phase transition from a liquid to a condensed phase that is characterized by the existence of a condensate. For various types of weight functions which enter the hopping rates, we determine the shape of the condensate, its scaling with the system size, and the single-site mass distribution as characteristic static properties. As it turns out, the condensate's shape and its scaling are not universal, but depend on the competition between local and ultralocal interactions. So we can tune the shape from a delta-like envelope to a parabolic-like or a rectangular one. While we treat the liquid phase in the grand-canonical formalism, we develop a different analytical approach for the condensed phase. Its predictions are well confirmed by numerical simulations. Possible extensions to higher dimensions are indicated.

description: I report results of recent integral field spectroscopy of the inner few hundred parsecs (pc) around nearby Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) at a sampling of a few pc, obtained with the Gemini Telescopes. In the lowest activity AGNs, it is possible to observe inflows in ionized gas along nuclear spirals and filaments. In more luminous AGN inflows have been observed also in hot molecular gas (H_2) emission in the near-IR. In most cases the H_2 kinematics is dominated by circular rotation in the plane around the nucleus, tracing the AGN feeding. The ionized gas, on the other hand, traces the AGN feedback. Its kinematics shows two components: (1) one originating in the plane, and dominated by circular rotation; (2) another outflowing along the Narrow-Line Region (NLR) whose flux distribution and kinematics frequently correlate with structures seen in radio maps. Mass outflow rates along the NLR range from 10^-2 to 1 M_sun yr^-1, corresponding to 10-100 times the accretion rate to the AGN, indicating that most of the NLR gas mass has been entrained from the galaxy plane. The average kinetic power of the NLR outflows is ~10^-4 times the bolometric luminosity.

title: Parameters Controlling Sediment Composition of Modern and Pleistocene Jamaican Reefs
Creators: name: Boss, Stephen K.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: Recent carbonate sediments from Jamaican north coast fringing reefs display variation in constituent composition, texture, and mineralogy related to their location on the reef. Samples were collected along lines which traversed the back reef and fore reef (0.5m to 70m).
The sediment is dominated by highly comminuted coral fragments, plates of the calcareous green alga, Halimeda, coralline algae, and the encrusting Foraminifera, Homotrema rubrum, with lesser amounts of other taxonomic groups (Foraminifera; molluscs; echinoderms). Relative abundances of these biotic components vary between sites. Q-mode cluster analysis indicates that constituent composition can be used to delineate the different reef zones which have been described from analyses of the macrofauna.
For most sediment, grain-size frequency distributions indicate that greater than 90% (by weight) of the sample is contained in the interval of 0.125mm to 2.000mm. Mean grain size approaches 0.5mm for most sites with little depth related variation. Sorting, however, becomes progressively poorer from the shallow (5m) fore reef terrace to the upper deep fore reef (70m).
X-ray diffraction and insoluble residue analyses indicate that total CaC03 in these sediments is generally greater than 95% by weight. Aragonite is the most abundant carbonate phase, followed by high-Mg calcite , and low-Mg cal cite. Amorphous siliceous sponge spicules and organic matter comprise the remaining non-carbonate fraction of these sands. Significant differences in the proportions of aragonite and high-Mg calcite between fore reef terrace sediments and sediments from other reef zones results from the contribution of high-Mg calcite to fore reef terrace sediments by coralline algae, Foraminifera (principally Homotrema rubrum) and echinoderms, which are relatively less abundant sediment constituents elsewhere on the reef.
The 120,000y.b.p.(Sangamon) Falmouth Formation along the north coast of Jamaica displays variability in sedimentological and faunal components analogous to that of back reef and shallow fore reef environments of the modern Jamaican fringing reef system.
X-ray analysis of the mineralogy of Falmouth limestones reveals that surface exposures of fore reef grainstones exhibit greater diagenetic alteration than surface exposures of back reef packstones. This indicates variability in diagenetic processes most likely related to original sediment textural characteristics.

description: In his essayistic novel Spiegelland. Ein deutsches Monolog (1992), Kurt Drawert engages in an intense criticism of the dictatorship in the former DDR, at fault for having reduced language to a tool for the control of conscience. This article seeks to demonstrate how Drawert’s criticism concerns not only the sphere of language, but also the sphere of the visual. Thus photography, for example, is affected in the same way as language by that “illusion of representation” in which the subject is caged. This article also seeks to show how Drawert’s language and image criticism is inspired by aspects of Lacan’s and Wittgenstein’s lines of thought.

title: Habitat Used by Ruffed Grouse in Northern Utah

Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1982

description: Vegetation structure of sites used by ruffed grouse (Bonasa umbellus) hens with brood, solitary grouse, drumming males, and nesting hens in northern Utah was measured in 1979 and 1980 . Univariate statistical techniques were used to determine general habitat characteristics of each group and discriminant function analysis was applied to the data to differentiate among groups. Most nests were located in maple stands (Acer grandidentatum and A. negundo) with dense tree canopies, low shrubs, and sparse ground vegetation. Drumming logs were most commonly found in densely stocked stands of aspen (Populus tremuloides) mixed with maple or chokecherry (Prunus virginiana) having a well-developed shrub layer and good horizontal visibility. The most important component of habitat used by solitary grouse was the dense shrub layer that apparently provided protection from precipitation, extreme temperatures, and predators. Hens with brood were commonly associated with aspen and mixed aspen stands which had open canopies, sparse shrub growth, and tall ground cover. Near the end of July, hens with brood began using habitat similar to that used by solitary grouse. The degree of horizontal visibility best separated habitat used by hens with brood and solitary grouse from the more open habitat associated with drumming logs and nest sites. Open tree canopy cover and tall shrubs best differentiated between habitat used by hens with brood from that used by solitary grouse. In general, many structural characteristics of habitat used by ruffed grouse in northern Utah appear similar to those reported in other areas of the species' range . Management strategies for use here should, however, be developed for small "islands" of habitat and emphasize enhancing structural and species diversity by planning for mixed aspen stands with a well-developed shrub layer.

description: Here we report lasing action in limaçon-shaped GaAs microdisks with quantum dots (QDs) embedded. Although the intracavity ray dynamics is predominantly chaotic, high-$Q$ modes are concentrated in the region $χ> χ_c$ as a result of wave localization. Strong optical confinement by total internal reflection leads to very low lasing threshold. Our measurements show that all the lasing modes have output in the same direction, regardless of their wavelengths and intracavity mode structures. This universal emission direction is determined by directed phase space flow of optical rays in the open chaotic cavity. The divergence angle of output beam is less than 40 degree. The unidirectionality proves to be robust against small deviations of the real cavity shape and size from the designed values.

Theodor Storms Erstlingsnovelle «Marthe und ihre Uhr» (1847)
Creators: name: Hertling, G. H.
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: This article intends to fill the previous void of a thorough critical assessment and interpretive analysis of Theodor Storm’s first novellistic, albeit concise narrative of 1847. As an aesthetic and highly symbolic story, Marthe’s seemingly timeless table clock bears some striking affinities with Eduard Mörike’s objet d’art of 1838, his «Lampe». As an ardent admirer of his contemporary Mörike, Storm here lays his theoretical and artistic foundations for his major novellas of later years.

Hofmannsthal, Rückert und Rūmī – zum Ghasel «Für Mich ...»
Creators: name: Zanucchi, Mario
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: The following paper analyses Hugo von Hofmannsthal’s ghazal «Für mich ...». It identifies for the first time Friedrich Rückert’s ghazal «Ich bin das Sonnenstäubchen ...» – an original poem only vaguely reminiscent of Djalāl-od-Dīn Rūmī’s Diwan – as the source of Hofmannsthal’s text. The comparison shows how Hofmannsthal introduces a pronounced metapoetic dimension while adapting distinguishing features of Rückert’s poem, such as the oxymoronic style and the recurrent use of the first person. In Hofmannsthal’s poem Rückert’s monistic merging of the self with nature gives way to an artistic re-shaping of everyday reality by the aesthete.

Das Thema “Altern” in Arno Geigers Roman «Alles über Sally»
Creators: name: Dackweiler, Meike
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Alles über Sally (All about Sally) is the fifth novel of the successful Austrian author Arno Geiger. While it was both praised and criticized for being a contemporary adaption of the adultery novel, little importance was attached to the theme of ageing, which pervades the whole novel. Moreover, adulterous female characters over fifty are rare in contemporary German literature. Given these premises, this essay examines the composition of the ageing characters in the novel and provides a discussion of the social construction of images of ageing.

Effect of clouds on emission spectra for Super Venus

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Earth and Planetary Astrophysics (astro-ph.EP)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We report a model study on the effects of clouds on emission spectra of super-Venus planets. Our goal is to assess possible ways to identify characteristic spectral features due to clouds. We show that it is possible to distinguish an impact of H2SO4 clouds on the CO2 absorption band at 4.8 micron for temperature profiles with and without a thermal inversion. The thermal inversion can help to distinguish the signal from high altitude clouds (85 km, ~1 mbar). Featureless emission spectra are found for high altitude clouds (85 km, ~1 mbar) with temperature profile without thermal inversion. More spectral features appear in the emission spectra with decreasing cloud top altitudes. The compactness of clouds has an inverse effect on emission spectra than cloud top altitudes. Small cloud scale heights reduce the signal and the CO2 absorption bands become flat.

A Critical Comparison on Attitude Estimation: From Gaussian Approximate Filters to Coordinate-free Dual Optimal Control

description: This paper conveys attitude and rate estimation without rate sensors by performing a critical comparison, validated by extensive simulations. The two dominant approaches to facilitate attitude estimation are based on stochastic and set-membership reasoning. The first one mostly utilizes the commonly known Gaussian-approximate filters, namely the EKF and UKF. Although more conservative, the latter seems to be more promising as it considers the inherent geometric characteristics of the underline compact state space and accounts -- from first principles -- for large model errors. We address the set-theoretic approach from a control point of view, and we show that it can overcome reported deficiencies of the Bayesian architectures related to this problem, leading to coordinate-free optimal filters. Lastly, as an example, we derive a modified predictive filter on the tangent bundle of the special orthogonal group $\mathbb{TSO}(3)$.

title: Petrology and Mineralogy of Tertiary(?) Volcanic Rocks West and Southwest of Kelton (Box Elder Co.), Utah
Creators: name: Voit, R. L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1985

description: The Kelton, Utah, area has numerous, isolated basaltic outcrops of probable Tertiary age mostly in the form of cuestas with steep faces displaying columnar joints. One ash-flow tuff is located in the southeastern part of the study area. Basaltic fragments in the tuff indicate that pyroclastic activity was preceded by extrusion of basalt.
Effects of Lake Bonneville on the basaltic outcrops include wave­cut terraces, scarps, and other wave-built forms in low lying areas. Massive carbonate deposits formed at levels of former shorelines of Lake Bonneville. Tertiary and Quaternary deposits cover the low- lying areas between basaltic flows, and consist of materials primarily derived from the Raft River Mountains to the northwest.
The study area lies in a transitional zone between the Great Basin and the Snake River Plain to the north where the crustal thickness increases from 25 to 30 km.
The basaltic lavas range from aphanitic to hypocrystalline with su bophitic, intergranular, and pilotaxitic textures. Glass shards, axiolites, and pumice fragments are present in the ash-flow tuffs.
Petrographic, mineralogic, and chemical studies were completed on selected samples of both basaltic and pyroclastic rocks to determine genetic relationships.
Tholeiitic basalt, BV81-24, is distinguished from other basalts in the area by the presence of three pyroxenes in the groundmass and distinctive chemistry: high Si02, Al203, and Mg0; and low Ti02 and total iron.
The remaining basaltic rocks may be related to a common parent, BV81-11, by a process of crystal fractionation. The parental magma, in turn, may be derived by partial melting of a hypothetical mantle material, such as pyrolite or garnet peridotite.
The intrusion of basaltic magma into the crust is thought to cause partial melting of crustal material, generating magma of rhyolitic composition. Violent extrusion of rhyolitic magma has produced ash-flow tuffs, represented by BV81-17 and BV81-18. Thus these basalts and ash­flow tuffs are considered to be members of a bimodal suite as is common in the Basin and Range Province.
Du bon usage de l'histoire en philologie: le dernier sirventès de Bertran de Born

description: En dépit de la tradition manuscrite, qui attribue à Bertran de Born le sirventès Gent part nostre reis liouranda (BdT 80, 18), la critique récente lui refuse ce texte en prétextant que le troubadour en 1196 s’était déjà rendu moine cistercien à l’abbaye de Dalon. Une analyse plus attentive tant des données historiques à notre disposition  que du code expressif utilisé dans le poème nous montre que le sirventès en question pourrait se révéler l’une des dernières compositions du seigneur de Hautefort.

In spite of the manuscript tradition, which assigns to Bertran de Born the sirventès Gent part nostre reis liouranda (BdT 80, 18), recent criticism rejects this attribution, claiming that in 1196 the troubadour became a monk and entered the Cistercian Abbey of Dalon. A closer analysis both of the historical data at our disposal and of the expressive code used in the poem shows that the sirventès could actually be one of the last compositions of the Lord of Hautefort.
