description: We use high S/N, high-resolution Keck/HIRES spectroscopy of 4 solar twin candidates (HIP 71813, 76114, 77718, 78399) from our Hipparcos-based CaII H & K survey to carry out parameter and abundance analyses of these objects. Our spectroscopic Teff estimates are some 100 K hotter than the photometric scale of the recent Geneva-Copenhagen survey; several lines of evidence suggest the photometric temperatures are too cool at solar $T_{\rm eff}$. At the same time, our abundances for the 3 solar twin candidates included in the Geneva-Copenhagen survey are in outstanding agreement with the photometric metallicities; there is no sign of the anomalously low photometric metallicities derived for some late-G UMa group and Hyades dwarfs. A first radial velocity determination is made for HIP 78399, and UVW kinematics derived for all stars. HIP 71813 appears to be a kinematic member of the Wolf 630 moving group (a structure apparently reidentified in a recent analysis of late-type Hipparcos stars), but its metallicity is 0.1 dex higher than the most recent estimate of this group's metallicity. While certainly ``solar-type'' stars, HIP 76114 and 77718 are a few percent less massive, significantly older, and metal-poor compared to the Sun; they are neither good solar twin candidates nor solar analogs providing a look at the Sun at some other point in its evolution. HIP 71813 appears to be an excellent solar analog of age 8 Gyr. Our results for HIP 78399 suggest the promise of this star as a solar twin may be equivalent to the ``closest ever solar twin'' HR 6060; follow up study of this star is encouraged.

NEW FOSSIL EPHEMEROPTERA AND COLEOPTERA FROM THE LADINIAN(MIDDLE TRIASSIC) OF CANTON TICINO (SWITZERLAND)

description: Two insects are described from the sediments of the uppermost Ladinian (Middle Triassic) of Meride (Canton Ticino, Switzerland). Tintorina triassica gen. n. sp. n., a representative of a new family, Tintoriniidae, of the Ephemeroptera, is described on the basis of two specimens, one being almost complete; a single elytron is ascribed to Notocupes sp. ind. (Cupedidae, Coleoptera). The ephemeroptera specimens possibly belong to a previously unrecognized Triassic suborder/order within the infraorder Ephemeroidea. Apart from the taxonomic interest of this find, it is pointed out that these are the first fossil insects found in the classic deposits of Monte San Giorgio-Besano, famous mostly for its vertebrates. The presence of Ephemeroptera confirms the existence of land with adjacent fresh-water basins where the preservation of many organisms in fine-grained matrix was possible.

Από τα αποτελέσματά αμς προέκυψε ότι η θέση των συντονισμών έχει μετακινηθεί σημαντικά στη δεύτερη περίπτωση, μεταβάλλοντας αρκετά τη συμπεριφορά των στοιχείων της τροχιάς
description: We studied Molniya and Tundra type orbits (frozen inclination orbits) in the perturbed potential of the Earth. Our purpose was to examine how the perturbed terms affect, the orbital elements and specifically the argumente of pericentre. We studied two different models : the first of them takes into account only the most important perturbing coeffient, while in the second we keep a larger number of perturbations. According to our results, the position of the resonances in significantly diefferend in the second case, which, in fact, affects the bahaviour of the orbital elememts
Paul submerged?: a study of the content and possible origins of mainline post-Pauline theology
Creators: name: Dunstan, Richard W.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: It is a commonplace of New Testament scholarship that the theology of Paul has been distorted or homogenized in certain late New Testament and early non-canonical Christian writings. This critical judgement implies the existence of a theological standard to which Paul has been conformed in these writings. It is the purpose of this thesis, first, to identify that standard, for which the coined expression "mainline faith" is used; and secondly, to trace its origins. The first purpose is achieved through an inventory of the teachings of literature often alleged to homogenize or distort Paul: within the canon, the Pastoral epistles, Acts and 2 Peter; outside the canon, 1 Clement and the writings of Ignatius and Polycarp. A search for patterns of agreement in our literature over against characteristic Pauline teachings shows the chief tenets of the "mainline faith" to be a strong stress on atonement, repentance and forgiveness of sins; a focus on morality as central to the gospel; an untroubled appropriation of Judaism as mere background to Christianity; and a stereotyped concept of unanimous apostolic teaching. These tenets are not diametrically opposed to Paul's central teachings, but cluster near the commonsensical, general and anthropocentric end of a continuum with Paul at the paradoxical, specific and theocentric end. On the second objective, with the exception of the stereotyped concept of apostolicity which is attributed to trends usually called "early Catholicism," the thesis concludes that the roots of the mainline faith can be traced back to the so-called "Hellenist mission" found evangelizing the Gentiles of Antioch at Acts 11:19 f. The thesis does not endorse all the details of a binary opposition between "Hellenists" and "Hebrews" as propounded by many scholars, but does argue that the Hellenists of Antioch were less Law-observant and more mission-minded than the Jerusalem church, and that the gospel in the form they preached i t was no mere "bridge to Paul"; it was rather an independent instrument of the evangelization of the Roman Empire even in Paul's lifetime, and survived beyond Paul's time to exercise a major influence on our literature and subsequent Christianity.

description: The primary goal of the Carnegie Chicago Hubble Program (CCHP) is to calibrate the zero-point of the Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) Hubble Diagram through the use of Population II standard candles. So far, the CCHP has measured direct distances to 11 SNe Ia, and here we increase that number to 15 with two new TRGB distances measured to NGC 5643 and NGC 1404, for a total of 20 SN Ia calibrators. We present resolved, point-source photometry from new Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging of these two galaxies in the F814W and F606W bandpasses. From each galaxy's stellar halo, we construct an F814W-band luminosity function in which we detect an unambiguous edge feature identified as the Tip of the Red Giant Branch (TRGB). For NGC 5643, we find $μ_0 = 30.48\pm0.03(stat)\pm0.07(sys) $ mag, and for NGC 1404 we find $ μ_0=31.36\pm 0.04(stat)\pm 0.05(sys)$ mag. From a preliminary consideration of the SNe Ia in these galaxies, we find increased confidence in the results presented in Paper VIII (Freedman et al. 2019). The high precision of our TRGB distances enables a significant measurement of the 3D displacement between the Fornax Cluster galaxies NGC 1404 and NGC 1316 (Fornax A) equal to $1.50^{+0.25}_{-0.39}$ Mpc, which we show is in agreement with independent literature constraints.

Bayes DistNet -- A Robust Neural Network for Algorithm Runtime Distribution Predictions
Creators: name: Tuero, Jake
name: Buro, Michael
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2020
Subjects: subject: Machine Learning (cs.LG)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: Randomized algorithms are used in many state-of-the-art solvers for constraint satisfaction problems (CSP) and Boolean satisfiability (SAT) problems. For many of these problems, there is no single solver which will dominate others. Having access to the underlying runtime distributions (RTD) of these solvers can allow for better use of algorithm selection, algorithm portfolios, and restart strategies. Previous state-of-the-art methods directly try to predict a fixed parametric distribution that the input instance follows. In this paper, we extend RTD prediction models into the Bayesian setting for the first time. This new model achieves robust predictive performance in the low observation setting, as well as handling censored observations. This technique also allows for richer representations which cannot be achieved by the classical models which restrict their output representations. Our model outperforms the previous state-of-the-art model in settings in which data is scarce, and can make use of censored data such as lower bound time estimates, where that type of data would otherwise be discarded. It can also quantify its uncertainty in its predictions, allowing for algorithm portfolio models to make better informed decisions about which algorithm to run on a particular instance.

Ο υπολογισμός έγινε με προσθήκη 3 διαφορετικών ποσοτήτων φωσφόρου, ήτοι 7, 14 και 21 μονάδες Ρ/στρ. σε δείγματα των εδαφών, παραμονή προς εξισορρόπηση επί 15 ημέρες με 3 κύκλους διαβροχής και ξηράνσεως και προσδιορισμό του Olsen-P προ και μετά την προσθήκη φωσφόρου. Τα αποτελέσματα έδειξαν τα εξής: 1. Το ποσοστό δεσμεύσεως Ρ έφθανε περίπου το 50% της αρχικής προσθήκης. 2. Ο μέσος όρος των μονάδων Ρ που έπρεπε να προστεθούν στο στρέμμα για να ανέλθει ο Οlsen-P κατά 1 mg/kg κυμαινόταν από 2,0 έως 2,5. 3. Η δέσμευση φωσφόρου ήταν μεγαλύτερη όσο μικρότερη ήταν η προσθήκη φωσφόρου και ήταν μικρότερη όσο ο αρχικός βαθμός κορεσμού του εδάφους ήταν μεγαλύτερος. 4. Το εδαφικό συστατικό που επηρέαζε την δέσμευση φωσφόρου ήταν το CaCO3, η δε δέσμευση φωσφόρου συνδέονταν και με την ειδική επιφάνεια του. Από τα δεδομένα του πειράματος παρήχθησαν εξισώσεις με τη βοήθεια των οποίων μπορεί να προβλεφθεί ο δείκτης δεσμεύσεως φωσφόρου ( μονάδες Ρ/στρ. που απαιτούνται να αυξηθεί ο Olsen-P κατά 1 mg/kg) σε ασβεστούχα εδάφη και να καθορισθούν οι μονάδες P/στρ. που πρέπει να προστεθούν για να ανέλθει ο Olsen-P στο επίπεδο επάρκειας μιας συγκεκριμένης καλλιέργειας.

description: Here we present a general algorithm for processing microcalorimeter data with special applicability to data with high photon count rates. Conventional optimal filtering, which has become ubiquitous in microcalorimeter data processing, suffers from its inability to recover overlapped pulses without sacrificing spectral resolution. The technique presented here was developed to address this particular shortcoming, and does so without imposing any assumptions beyond those made by the conventional technique. We demonstrate the algorithm's performance with a data set that approximately satisfies these assumptions, and which is representative of a wide range of microcalorimeter applications. We also apply the technique to a highly non-linear data set, examining the impact on performance in the limit that these assumptions break down.

description: The quantitative impact of the requirement of relativistic invariance in the three-nucleon problem is examined within the framework of Poincaré invariant quantum mechanics. In the case of the bound state, and for a wide variety of model implementations and reasonable interactions, most of the quantitative effects come from kinematic factors that can easily be incorporated within a non-relativistic momentum-space three-body code.

description: The Legendre flow equation, a version of exact Wilsonian renormalization group (WRG) equation, is employed to consider the power counting issues in Nuclear Effective Field Theory. A WRG approach is an ideal framework because it is nonperturbative and does not require any prescribed power counting rule. The power counting is determined systematically from the scaling dimensions of the operators at the nontrivial fixed point. The phase structure is emphasized and the inverse of the scattering length, which is identified as a relevant coupling, is shown to play a role of the order parameter. The relations to the work done by Birse, McGovern, and Richardson and to the Kaplan-Savage-Wise scheme are explained.

We present sets of models with temperatures from 18000 up to 56000K as a line equivalent widths (EWs) and their ratios diagrams. The fundamental wind parameters for some spectrally studied ULXs were estimated using EW diagrams. Also, influence of the wind velocity law on the equivalent widths of observed emission lines was investigated. This study was funded by RFBR according to the research project 18-32-20214.

description: We investigate the impact of unparticle physics on the annihilation of relic neutrinos with the neutrinos identified as primary source of ultra high energy (UHE) cosmic ray events, producing a cascade of photons and charged particles. We compute the contribution of the unparticle exchange to the cross-sections $ν\barν\toγγ$ and $ν\barν\to f \bar f$ scattering. We estimate the neutrino photon decoupling temperature from the reaction rate of $ν\barν\toγγ$. We find that inclusion of unparticles can in fact account for the flux of UHE cosmic rays and can also result in the lowering of neutrino - photon decoupling temperature below the QCD phase transition for unparticle physics parameters in a certain range. We calculate the mean free path of these high energy neutrinos annihilating themselves with the relic neutrinos to produce vector and tensor unparticles.

Κ562 κυττάρων. Παρατηρήθηκε ότι το υγρό καλλιέργειας από Κ562 κύτταρα προήγαγε το σχηματισμό αποικιών από τα αρχέγονα αιμοποιητικά κύτταρα. Ακολούθησε χρωματογραφία του υγρού καλλιέργειας με στήλη μοριακής διήθησης καθώς και με υγρή χρωματογραφία υψηλής πίεσης. Με τον τρόπο αυτό έγινε εφικτή η απομόνωση διακριτού κλάσματος που περιείχε τους αναπτυξιακούς παράγοντες. Το αναφερθέν κλάσμα αναλύθηκε περαιτέρω με ηλεκτροφόρηση πρωτεϊνών (SDS-PAGE) και επιπρόσθετα συνδυάστηκε με γνωστούς αναπτυξιακούς παράγοντες ( Αιμίνη, GM-CSF, IL-1β, IL-2) προκειμένου να δημιουργηθεί ένα πολύ ισχυρό μίγμα που θα προάγει την αναπαραγωγή των αρχέγονων αιμοποιητικών κυττάρων.
description: The aim of our work has been to identify novel factors that expand CD34+ HSCs ex vivo into adequate numbers needed. Characterization of structure and function of such factors would have allowed their production as biopharmaceutical proteins and understanding of the mechanism(s) via which these molecules signal expansion of HSCs. CD34+ HSCs were isolated from human umbilical cord blood by magnetic means and cultured in semisolid medium containing conditioned medium (CM) derived from K562 cells growing with and without hemin as well as from cells growing under normal conditions and then stressed by serum deprivation. We observed that CM.derived from K562 cells enhanced colony formation of CD34+ cells in soft agar cultures. To characterize these factors, we developed a microculture clot assay using murine eryhtroleukemia cells that also respond to growth factors of the K562 cells CM. The latter system permitted us to work with microquantities of condensed CM and assess the growth promoting activities of fractions obtained by gel filtration column chromatography complemented by HPLC. Thus, we were able to identify discrete fractions of growth promoting activities, to analyze them by SDS-PAGE electrophoresis and to combine them with other known growth promoters like hemin and human recombinant GM-CSF, IL-1β, IL-2 in culture. Our results indicate that: (a) K562 leukemia cells produce and excrete factors that promote the clonogenic potential of human CD34+ cells.(b) These factors can be combined effectively with known growth promoters.

description: People spend an enormous amount of time and effort looking for lost objects. To help remind people of the location of lost objects, various computational systems that provide information on their locations have been developed. However, prior systems for assisting people in finding objects require users to register the target objects in advance. This requirement imposes a cumbersome burden on the users, and the system cannot help remind them of unexpectedly lost objects. We propose GO-Finder ("Generic Object Finder"), a registration-free wearable camera based system for assisting people in finding an arbitrary number of objects based on two key features: automatic discovery of hand-held objects and image-based candidate selection. Given a video taken from a wearable camera, Go-Finder automatically detects and groups hand-held objects to form a visual timeline of the objects. Users can retrieve the last appearance of the object by browsing the timeline through a smartphone app. We conducted a user study to investigate how users benefit from using GO-Finder and confirmed improved accuracy and reduced mental load regarding the object search task by providing clear visual cues on object locations.

Ο Αριστοτέλης ταυτίζει την ευδαιμονία με την πραγμάτωση του έργου προσιδιάζει στον άνθρωπο. Ως τέτοιο θεωρεί κατ'αρχάς την "κατ'αρετήν τελέιαν ενέργειαν της ψυχής" παροσδίδοντας στην έννοια της αρετής ηθικό περιεχόμενο, και εν συνεχεία τη θεωρία. Κατά τον Επίκουρο συστατικά του "μακαρίως ζήν" είναι η "του σώματος απονία" και η "αταραξία της ψυχής". Οι απόψεις τους συγκλίνουν-παρά τις διαφορές τους ως προς το τι είναι ηδονή-στο ότι και οι δύο φιλόσοφοι θεωρούν τον ευδαίμονα βίο αχώριστο από τον ηθικό και θεωρητικό βίο και τονίζουν το ρόλο της φρόνησης στην επιλογή του πρακτέου και στη διάκριση των ηδονών που αρμόζουν στον άνθρωπο. Τέλος, και οι δύο φιλόσοφοι αποδίδουν μέγιστη αξία στη φιλία ως συνεκτικό δεσμό των πολιτών και παράγοντα ευδαιμονίας
description: In this study Aristotles and Epicurus basic views on happiness, as the final goal of all human actions are compared and their convergent points are inquired. Aristotle identifies the happiness with realization of the work that characterises human being. As such at first he considers "the activity of the souls in conformity with perfect goodness" by giving moral significance to the sense of virtue and continiously with contemplation. According to Epicurus basic elements of "blessed life" is the absence of physical pain and "the tranquillity of the soul". Their views converge, despite their differences on the substance of pleasure, that they both philosophers consider pleasure as a "good" and connect it with the happiness. Moreover both philosophers consider "happy life" unseparable from moral and comtemplative life and emphasize the role of prudence in the choise of what has to be done and in the distinction of pleasures which are fit for men. Finallt they attribute the greatest value to friendship as a factor of happiness

description: We report the equilibrium self-assembly of binary crystals of oppositely-charged colloidal microspheres at high density. By varying the magnitude of the charge on near equal-sized spheres we show that the structure of the binary crystal may be switched between face-centered cubic, cesium chloride and sodium chloride. We interpret these transformations in terms of a competition between entropic and Coulombic forces.
Energy-level-attraction and heating-resistant-cooling of mechanical resonators with exceptional points

description: We study the energy-level evolution and ground-state cooling of mechanical resonators under a synthetic phononic gauge field. The tunable gauge phase is mediated by the phase difference between the $\mathcal{PT}$- and anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric mechanical couplings in a multimode optomechanical system. The transmission spectrum then exhibits the asymmetric Fano line shape or double optomechanically induced transparency by modulating the gauge phase. Moreover, the eigenvalues will collapse and become degenerate although the mechanical coupling is continuously increased. Such counterintuitive energy-attraction, instead of anti-crossing, attributes to destructive interferences between $\mathcal{PT}$- and anti-$\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric couplings. We find that the energy-attraction, as well as the accompanied exceptional points (EPs), can be more intuitively observed in the cavity output power spectrum where the mechanical eigenvalues correspond to the peaks. For mechanical cooling, the average phonon occupation number becomes minimum at these EPs. Especially, phonon transport becomes nonreciprocal and even ideally unidirectional at the EPs. Finally, we propose a heating-resistant ground-state cooling based on the nonreciprocal phonon transport, which is mediated by the gauge field. Towards the quantum regime of macroscopic mechanical resonators, most optomechanical systems are ultimately limited by their intrinsic cavity or mechanical heating. Our work revealed that the thermal energy transfer can be blocked by tuning the gauge phase, which supports a promising route to overpass the notorious heating limitations.

description: Bistable nanomagnets store a binary bit of information. Exchange coupled nanomagnets can increase the thermal stability at low dimensions. Here we show that the antiferromagnetically (AFM) coupled nanomagnets can be highly stable at low dimensions than that of the ferromagnetically (FM) coupled nanomagnets. By solving stochastic Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation of magnetization dynamics at room temperature, we analyze the stability of the exchange coupled nanomagnets in the presence of correlated, uncorrelated, and anti-correlated noise. The results show that the correlated noise can make the stability of the AFM coupled nanomagnets very high. Such finding will lead to very high-density non-volatile storage and logic devices in our future information processing systems.

description: Convective counterparts of variants of the nonlinear Fisher equation which describes reaction diffusion systems in population dynamics are studied with the help of an analytic prescription and shown to lead to interesting consequences for the evolution of population densities. The initial value problem is solved explicitly for some cases and for others it is shown how to find traveling wave solutions analytically. The effect of adding diffusion to the convective equations is first studied through exact analysis through a piecewise linear representation of the nonlinearity. Using an appropriate small parameter suggested by that analysis, a perturbative treatment is developed to treat the case in which the convective evolution is augmented by a small amount of diffusion.

description: The Schramm-Loewner evolution (SLE) can be simulated by dividing the time interval into N subintervals and approximating the random conformal map of the SLE by the composition of N random, but relatively simple, conformal maps. In the usual implementation the time required to compute a single point on the SLE curve is O(N). We give an algorithm for which the time to compute a single point is O(N^p) with p<1. Simulations with kappa=8/3 and kappa=6 both give a value of p of approximately 0.4.

description: The string equation of type $(2,2g+1)$ may be thought of as a higher order analogue of the first Painlevé equation that corresponds to the case of $g = 1$. For $g > 1$, this equation is accompanied with a finite set of commuting isomonodromic deformations, and they altogether form a hierarchy called the PI hierarchy. This hierarchy gives an isomonodromic analogue of the well known Mumford system. The Hamiltonian structure of the Lax equations can be formulated by the same Poisson structure as the Mumford system. A set of Darboux coordinates, which have been used for the Mumford system, can be introduced in this hierarchy as well. The equations of motion in these Darboux coordinates turn out to take a Hamiltonian form, but the Hamiltonians are different from the Hamiltonians of the Lax equations (except for the lowest one that corresponds to the string equation itself).

Discovery of Interstellar trans-cyanovinylacetylene (HCCCH=CHCN) and vinylcyanoacetylene (H$_2$C=CHC$_3$N) in GOTHAM Observations of TMC-1

description: We report the discovery of two unsaturated organic species, trans-(E)-cyanovinylacetylene and vinylcyanoacetylene, using the second data release of the GOTHAM deep survey towards TMC-1 with the 100 m Green Bank Telescope. For both detections, we performed velocity stacking and matched filter analyses using Markov chain Monte Carlo simulations, and for trans-(E)-cyanovinylacetylene, three rotational lines were observed at low signal-to-noise (${\sim}$3$σ$). From this analysis, we derive column densities of $2\times10^{11}$ and $3\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ for vinylcyanoacetylene and trans-(E)-cyanovinylacetylene, respectively, and an upper limit of $<2\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$ for trans-(Z)-cyanovinylacetylene. Comparisons with G3//B3LYP semi-empirical thermochemical calculations indicate abundances of the [H$_3$C$_5$N}] isomers are not consistent with their thermodynamic stability, and instead their abundances are mainly driven by dynamics. We provide discussion into how these species may be formed in TMC-1, with reference to related species like vinyl cyanide (CH$_2$=CHCN). As part of this discussion, we performed the same analysis for ethyl cyanide (CH$_3$CH$_2$CN), the hydrogenation product of CH$_2$=CHCN. This analysis provides evidence -- at 4.17$σ$ significance -- an upper limit to the column density of $<4\times10^{11}$ cm$^{-2}$; an order of magnitude lower than previous upper limits towards this source.

Spin Singlet State in Heptamers Emerging in Spinel Oxide AlV$_2$O$_4$

description: We present our theoretical results on the electronic state in vanadium spinel oxide AlV$_2$O$_4$. The material is a mixed-valent system with the average valence V$^{2.5+}$, and V cations constitute a frustrated pyrochlore structure. It shows a structural transition at $\sim 700$ K, leading to the formation of seven V-sites clusters -- heptamers. We study the electronic state of the heptamer by explicitly taking account of orbital degree of freedom as well as electron correlations. We show that the ground state of the heptamer for realistic parameters becomes spin-singlet because of strong $σ$-type bonding states of $t_{2g}$ orbitals. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility in experiments is naturally understood by this singlet formation in heptamers. Our results indicate that in AlV$_2$O$_4$ orbital physics is relevant to stabilize a cluster-type singlet state instead of a previously proposed charge-ordered state with valence skipping.

DINOFLAGELLATE CYST STRATIGRAPHY OF THE LOWER CRETACEOUS MONTE SORO FLYSCH IN SICILY (S ITALY)
Creators: name: TORRICELLI, STEFANO
Publisher: name: Università degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2001

description: Rich and well preserved palynological assemblages recovered from two outcrop sections in the Monte Soro Flysch (Nebrodi Mountains, NE Sicily, Italy) are documented and discussed. They provide new and valuable information for age determination and correlation within this turbidite unit in the type-area. The dinoflagellate cyst zonation scheme established for the Lower Cretaceous in the western Mediterranean region, is successfully applied to the lower portion of the Monte Soro Flysch sampled at Vallone Rosmarino, ranging in age from the latest Valanginian to the Late Hauterivian. The Pizzo Gilormo section exhibits a fining and thinning-upward sequence and is dated as Early Aptian through latest Aptian. Turbidites of the Monte dell'Abate succession are proved to be a lateral equivalent of the Monte Soro Flysch at the Pizzo Gilormo section. Overlying these turbidites, the shales cropping out at Portella Buffali mark in the Early Albian the beginning of the deposition of the Argille Scagliose Superiori. Although the Barremian was not detected in the material of the present study, it is documented both in the literature and in the succession drilled by Agip close to Randazzo. Finally, an age extending from the latest Valanginian to the latest Aptian is established by means of palynomorphs for the Monte Soro Flysch. Owing to their abundance, diversity, excellent preservation and consistent record throughout the composite succession of the Monte Soro Flysch, dinoflagellate cysts represent an optimal tool for age and palaeoenvironmental assessment within this unit. The reappraisal of the dinoflagellate species Hystrichosphaeridium? atlasiense Below is proposed: a single-plate precingular archeopyle is documented for the cyst, which precludes its assignment to the genus Hystrichosphaeridium Deflandre and suggests the attribution to the genus Kleithriasphaeridium Davey, herein emended. The first appearance of Kleithriasphaeridium atlasiense (Below, 1982) Torricelli comb. nov. is proposed as an important biostratigraphic event close to the Aptian/Albian boundary in the Tethyan Realm.

Initial Populations of Black Holes in Star Clusters

description: Using an updated population synthesis code we study the formation and evolution of black holes (BHs) in young star clusters following a massive starburst. This study continues and improves on the initial work described by Belczynski, Sadowski & Rasio (2004). In our new calculations we account for the possible ejections of BHs and their progenitors from clusters because of natal kicks imparted by supernovae and recoil following binary disruptions. The results indicate that the properties of both retained BHs in clusters and ejected BHs (forming a field population) depend sensitively on the depth of the cluster potential. In particular, most BHs ejected from binaries are also ejected from clusters with central escape speeds Vesc < 100 km/s. Conversely, most BHs remaining in binaries are retained by clusters with Vesc > 50 km/s. BHs from single star evolution are also affected significantly: about half of the BHs originating from primordial single stars are ejected from clusters with Vesc < 50 km/s. Our results lay a foundation for theoretical studies of the formation of BH X-ray binaries in and around star clusters, including possible ultra-luminous sources, as well as merging BH--BH binaries detectable with future gravitational-wave observatories.
