Subjects: Conodonts; Biostratigraphy; Devonian; Kerman

description: Conodonts (34 species and subspecies) from the Hojedk section north of Kerman span the late Givetian to early Famennian. The new data suggest that Devonian biostromes in central and eastern Iran were deposited on differing levels, and that the currently accepted ranges of Icriodus excavatus, Polygnathus subincompletus and P. mosquensis are late Givetian - late Frasnian, early to late Frasnian, and middle to late Frasnian. Polygnathus ashourii n. sp. is proposed.

subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this work, we explore joint energy-based model (EBM) training during the finetuning of pretrained text encoders (e.g., Roberta) for natural language understanding (NLU) tasks. Our experiments show that EBM training can help the model reach a better calibration that is competitive to strong baselines, with little or no loss in accuracy. We discuss three variants of energy functions (namely scalar, hidden, and sharp-hidden) that can be defined on top of a text encoder, and compare them in experiments. Due to the discreteness of text data, we adopt noise contrastive estimation (NCE) to train the energy-based model. To make NCE training more effective, we train an auto-regressive noise model with the masked language model (MLM) objective.
Is there more than one thermal source?
Creators: name: Murray, Michael

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Nuclear Experiment (nucl-ex)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: BRAHMS has the ability to study relativistic heavy ion collisions over a wide range of pT and rapidity. This allows us to test whether thermal models can be generalized to describe the rapidity dependence of particle ratios. This appears to work with the baryo-chemical potential changing more rapidly than the temperature. Using fits to BRAHMS data for the 5% most central Au+Au collisions we are able to describe Xi and Omega ratios from other experiments. This paper is dedicated to Julia Thompson who worked to bring South African teachers into physics.

description: The thesis presents the historical geography of the Eastern promontony of Chalcidice, in the geographical boarders of the so called avaton of the Holy Mount Athos and in the chronological limits of the historical times. One part of the Study deals with the physical geography of the prongue, whose unique landscape and natural resources remained unspoiled through the age. The most extended part of the study focuses on the ancient topography of the peninsula. Important conclusions, based on literary and archaeological evidence, are drawn about the ancient cities, the mixed populations, the constitutions and the cults that existed throughout antiquity in this specific region of Chalkidice.

description: We present the results of a 50 ks long Chandra observation of the dipping source XB 1916-053. During the observation two X-ray bursts occurred and the dips were not present at each orbital period. From the zero-order image we estimate the precise X-ray coordinates of the source with a 90% uncertainty of 0.6''. In this work we focus on the spectral study of discrete absorption features, during the persistent emission, using the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer on board the Chandra satellite. We detect, for the first time in the 1st-order spectra of XB 1916-053, absorption lines associated to Ne X, Mg XII, Si XIV, and S XVI, and confirm the presence of the Fe XXV and Fe XXVI absorption lines with a larger accuracy with respect to the previous XMM EPIC pn observation. Assuming that the line widths are due to a bulk motion or a turbulence associated to the coronal activity, we estimate that the lines are produced in a photoionized absorber distant from the neutron star 4 x 10^{10} cm, near the disk edge.

description: Sixty-one species assignable to 31 genera of Late Carboniferous and Early Permian fusulinoideans were distinguished from the Hadim area, central Taurides, Turkey. They are biostratigraphically divided into eleven zones in ascending order: Protriticites variabilis, Montiparus umbonoplicatus and Schwageriniformis schwageriniformis zones in the Kasimovian; the Jigulites aff. formosus, Daixina asiatica and Rugosofusulina sp. A zones in the Gzhelian; Paraschwagerina sp. and Dutkevichia complicata zones in the Asselian; Paraschwagerina pseudomira and Robustoschwagerina nucleolata zones in the Sakmarian; and the Dunbarula? sp. zone of possible Artinskian age. Basal Kasimovian strata, Kasimovian-Gzhelian boundary strata and lower Asselian strata are missing due to erosion and/or non-deposition on the basis of faunal analysis of these fusulinoideans. Among the described species, newly proposed herein are Eoparafusulina brevis, Robustoschwagerina hadimensis, Pseudoschwagerina globosa, and Pseudoschwagerina ozguli. E. brevis is thought to be phylogenetically related to the Monodiexodina lineage along with E. ferganica. R. hadimensis represents a small form of the genus. P. globosa showing Sphaeroschwagerina-like appearance has a distinct Triticites-type juvenarium suggesting a specialized descendant derived from an Asselian Pseudoschwagerina. P. ozguli is distinguished from most of known species of Pseudoschwagerina by its smaller test and its occurrence from the Sakmarian.

The influence of wolves on the ecology of mountain caribou
Creators: name: Allison, Bradley Armstrong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The wolf (Canis lupus)/mountain caribou (Rangifer tarandus caribou) spatial separation model (Seip 1992a) was examined in highland and mountainous areas of east central and southeastern British Columbia to determine the influence of wolves on mountain caribou ecology. Three key elements investigated were: the importance of wolf predation as a mountain caribou mortality factor, the elevational relationships of mountain caribou, wolves, and moose (Alces alces), and the seasonal dietary importance of moose to wolves. Mountain caribou mortality data from the Columbia Mountains and Quesnel Lake supported the hypothesis that wolf predation is greater in highland than in mountainous areas. Wolf predation was the main mortality factor of caribou in the highlands around Quesnel Lake, but was a minor factor in the other three study areas. Wolf predation at Quesnel Lake occurred primarily during summer/fall at low elevations. Mountain caribou, wolf and moose radio-telemetry data suggested that wolves in both highland and mountainous areas are more closely associated elevationally with moose than caribou throughout the year. Caribou in highland areas appeared as adept as those in rugged mountains at spacing elevationally away from wolves during all seasons. Significant elevational overlap between wolves and caribou occurred only in the rugged Columbia Mountains, and then, only during summer/fall. Wolf scats from the Columbia Mountains indicated that mountain caribou were of lesser dietary importance than moose to wolves throughout the year. Moose, particularly in winter, were the main diet item of wolves. Beaver was an important dietary item of wolves during summer/fall. Elevational separation appears inadequate in explaining the variation in wolf predation on mountain caribou in the highland and mountainous study areas. Differences in wolf densities and the relative densities of moose and caribou may be the main factors influencing the susceptibility of mountain caribou to wolf predation. It is recommended that studies be conducted in both topography types across a wide range of caribou and moose densities to better explain the influence of wolves on mountain caribou ecology. In addition, it will be necessary to compare the geographic distribution of mountain caribou and wolves to assess if geographic rather than elevational separation occurs. Determining how timber harvesting impacts the numerical and spatial responses of wolves, mountain caribou and moose is also recommended.

description: A systematic shift of the photon recoil due to the index of refraction of a dilute gas of atoms has been observed. The recoil frequency was determined with a two-pulse light grating interferometer using near-resonant laser light. The results show that the recoil momentum of atoms caused by the absorption of a photon is n\hbar k, where n is the index of refraction of the gas and k is the vacuum wavevector of the photon. This systematic effect must be accounted for in high-precision atom interferometry with light gratings.

description: We report on a new computational model to efficiently simulate carbon nanotubebased field effect transistors (CNT-FET). In the model, a central region is formed by a semiconducting nanotube that acts as the conducting channel, surrounded by a thin oxide layer and a metal gate electrode. At both ends of the semiconducting channel, two semi-infinite metallic reservoirs act as source and drain contacts. The current-voltage characteristics are computed using the Landauer formalism, including the effect of the Schottky barrier physics. The main operational regimes of the CNT-FET are described, including thermionic and tunnel current components, capturing ambipolar conduction, multichannel ballistic transport and electrostatics dominated by the nanotube capacitance. The calculations are successfully compared to results given by more sophisticated methods based on non-equilibrium Green's function formalism (NEGF).

description: We review here the recent success in quantum annealing, i.e., optimization of the cost or energy functions of complex systems utilizing quantum fluctuations. The concept is introduced in successive steps through the studies of mapping of such computationally hard problems to the classical spin glass problems. The quantum spin glass problems arise with the introduction of quantum fluctuations, and the annealing behavior of the systems as these fluctuations are reduced slowly to zero. This provides a general framework for realizing analog quantum computation.

description: Long-range Rydberg interactions, in combination with electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT), give rise to strongly interacting photons where the strength, sign, and form of the interactions are widely tunable and controllable. Such control can be applied to both coherent and dissipative interactions, which provides the potential to generate novel few-photon states. Recently it has been shown that Rydberg-EIT is a rare system in which three-body interactions can be as strong or stronger than two-body interactions. In this work, we study a three-body scattering loss for Rydberg-EIT in a wide regime of single and two-photon detunings. Our numerical simulations of the full three-body wavefunction and analytical estimates based on Fermi's Golden Rule strongly suggest that the observed features in the outgoing photonic correlations are caused by the resonant enhancement of the three-body losses.

description: Investigation of the ostracod fauna of the parastratotype of the Permian-Triassic boundary at Bulla in the Southern Alps produced 62 species belonging to 31 genera. They are all discussed and figured. This paper presents results of the first description of ostracods from this important site. One genus, Bairdiacratia n. gen., and 13 species are new: Glyptopleurina pasinii n. sp., Knoxiella ventrospinosa n. sp., Knightina bullaensis n. sp., Bairdia ortiseiensis n. sp., B. cheni n. sp., B. (Rectobairdia) kershawi n. sp., Bairdiacratia qinglai n.gen. n. sp., B. tergilata n. gen. n. sp., Microcheilinella lata n. sp., Parabythocythere chongpani n. sp., Cavellina bellerophonella n. sp., C. alpina n. sp. and C. triassica n. sp. The palaeocecological analysis of each unit is produced. The unconformity-paraconformity U1 is clearly reflected in the ostracod assemblages and is marked by a drop in diversity and abundance of specimens. It was followed by a change in the ostracod faunal composition. The Bulla Member displays maximum ostracod diversity and abundance linked with the trangressive trend reported for this period. The unconformity-paraconformity U2, at the boundary between the Bellerophon and Werfen formations (Bulla and Lower Tesero members) is the main extinction level for ostracods. The Lower Tesero, Lower Mazzin and Upper Tesero members have very poor faunas. The lower part of the Upper Mazzin Mb. is characterized by an uneven burst of diversity before the great period of taxonomic paucity observed during the late Griesbachian all over the world.

description: Based on a single specimen from a new site, located on the Northern Grigna or "Grignone", near the city of Lecco (Lombardy), in the Buchenstein Formation (lower Ladinian), a new taxon belonging to the Perleidiformes is here described. This taxon represents a deep-bodied perleidiform, characterized by a marked hump before the dorsal fin, strongly ornamented scales and a peculiar dentition, made of  pencil-like, long and slightly protruding, teeth. Among the other deep-bodied representatives of the order, this new taxon is considered to have more affinities with Felberia, described on material from the late Ladinian of Monte San Giorgio and from the Carnian of the Gorno Formation and Cave del Predil, and "Dipteronotus" ornatus from the late Anisian/early Ladinian of Monte San Giorgio. The exploitation of the new site, started in September 2003, had brought to light until now approximately 900 finds, consisting in the majority of fishes. Despite the state of preservation is not optimal, also probably because of the remarkable heating suffered by the rocks, these finds prove a great diversity (with a fauna similar to that of Monte San Giorgio) and represent the first report of the presence of a fossil vertebrate level in the Buchenstein Formation all over the Southern Calcareous Alps.

Diagnostic dorsal neural arches and clavicles as well dorsal ribs have been collected in the Rio dal Lago Formation near Dogna (Friuli). Purported Simosaurus remains from the Ladinian of Austria cannot be attributed to this genus with certainty and the presence of additional articular structures in the dorsal neural arch ("infraprezygapophyses" and infrapostzygapophyses) cannot distinguish Simosaurus from Bobosaurus if the craniocaudal polarity or other vertebral features are unknown.

A shoulder in g(r) is found, supporting the idea of cluster formation. The intra- and inter-cluster contributions to g(r) are identified, largely independent of nu_e. The average cluster sizes are estimated; pairs and triplets of quasielectrons are suggested at nu_e=4/11 and 3/8, respectively.

description: The uppermost Bajocian to lowermost Bathonian ammonoid succession has been studied in the Bas Auran area in view of choosing one of its sections as the Global Stratotype Section and Point (G.S.S.P.) of the Bathonian Stage. The Bas Auran ammonite assemblages display exceptional values of record quality. The stratigraphic distribution of 629 specimens referred to 63 species and 35 genera, collected during the last forty years from three sections (Ravin du Bès, Ravin d'Auran, Ravin des Robines), is plotted and analyzed, bed by bed. Over 85 stratigraphic levels, through 9 m in thickness, have been studied at the top of the "Marno-calcaires à Cancellophycus" formation, ranging from the latest Bajocian (Parkinsoni Zone, Bomfordi Subzone) to the earliest Bathonian (Zigzag Zone, Convergens Subzone) and the base of the Macrescens Subzone. Ammonoid assemblages are composed of Northwest European and Mediterranean elements, associated with Sub-Mediterranean ones, allowing chronocorrelation between the Northwest European Convergens Subzone and the Sub-Mediterranean Parvum Subzone. The basal boundary of the Zigzag Zone and of the Bathonian Stage is placed at the base of Sturani's bed 23 in the Ravin du Bès section and is identified by the first occurrence of Gonolkites convergens, and coincides with the lowest occurrence of Morphoceras parvum. Features of the ammonoid succession indicate relatively homogeneous and good record quality, gradual biostratigraphic change and high degree of taxonomic similarity between the Bomfordi and Convergens subzones. Palaeontological criteria also indicate relatively high values of palaeontological and stratigraphic completeness at the base of levels RB070-RB071 (= level 23 in Sturani 1967) which corresponds to the Bajocian/Bathonian boundary. The Ravin du Bès Section, with forty-six successive ammonoid fossil-assemblages of the Convergens Subzone belonging to three biohorizons through five metres of thickness, shows maximum values of biostratigraphic and biochronostratigraphic completeness, being one of the most complete in the world. Therefore, the Ravin du Bès Section should be chosen as the Global Stratotype Section and Point for the base of the Bathonian Stage. Two biostratigraphic logs summarize the ammonite content from the uppermost Bomfordi to basal Macrescens subzones. Three plates illustrate the most characteristic ammonoid taxa at the Bajocian-Bathonian passage in the Bas Auran succession.

description: Quantitative analyses of calcareous nannofossil were carried out on sediments from ODP Hole 964D succession, recovered in the Ionian Sea, Eastern Mediterranean. Results show that the sedimentary sequence, spanning from about 3.5 Ma (Early Pliocene) to the Present, has been investigated through an average sampling resolution of less than 30 kyr. The detailed subdivision into 11 biozones makes it possible to recognize chronostratigraphic the boundaries in the Early Pliocene-Middle Pleistocene interval. Finally, two sedimentary gaps, lasting at least 340 kyr and 120 kyr respectively, have been recognized between the Zanclean and Piacenzian and in the lower part of the Early Pleistocene.

description: The first record of a fossil amphibian in Slovenia is a fragment of a rib. It was collected in the Lower Triassic of the Julian Alps, at the Studorski preval area. The carbonate succession of the Lower Triassic at Studorski preval is characterized by alternations of dolomite, limestone, marly limestone and marlstone with particular beds of oolitic limestone. The macrofauna found at the site indicates an Olenekian age. The bone fragment is a rod-like element with an expanded, complete articular end and a broken, narrow shaft with a finely pitted to radial surface texture. It is identified as the proximal portion of a rib of a temnospondyl amphibian, possibly of a capitosaur. The presence of an isolated temnospondyl bone in Lower Triassic strata in Slovenia is consistent with previous records of temnospondyls in marine Lower Triassic strata.

Challenging the monologues: toward an intercultural approach to aboriginal rights
Creators: name: Duncan, Emmet John
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: The author critiques various strands of liberal moral and political theory as they relate to Aboriginal rights. In particular, he rejects the formulation of liberal theory by philosopher Will Kymlicka, as failing to respond to the unique realities and perspectives of First Nations. He then draws on the insights of philosophers Charles Taylor and James Tully to argue for a new approach to Aboriginal rights, premised on principles of dialogue, recognition and the willingness to engage in an "intercultural journey" in which a middle ground of law, informed by Canadian and indigenous norms, is created. In chapters two through four, the author employs Wittgenstein's "perspicuous contrast" in order to reveal the dialogical basis of Gitksan and Wet'suwet'en legal and political structures, as well as to reveal the dominant role that "monologues" play in the Canadian law of Aboriginal rights. He identifies three monologues: discovery, sovereignty and the "authentic Indian," by which Canadian law marginalizes and subjugates First Nations and their legal systems. Such monologues depend for their coherence and success upon Aboriginal silence. In chapter five, the author argues that notwithstanding the persistence of monologues, Canadian law can be open to dialogue and to the broadening of understanding that is required for the construction of an intercultural legal middle ground. He issues a strong call for the legal system to turn to Aboriginal law as a major source for the middle ground, and argues that doing so will help preserve the ability of First Nations to participate in the intercultural dialogue in their own voices and ways of knowing, which is essential to the successful deployment of the approach argued for in chapter one. The author concludes that the middle ground will best be achieved through treaties, backed by an intercultural legal duty on all parties to negotiate in good faith. He also argues that a rethinking of sovereignty is necessary, in order to preserve the ability of First Nations to participate in intercultural dialogue secure in their autonomy and self-determination. To that end, he argues that courts can provide a useful "backdrop" to the intercultural middle ground, by continuously identifying intercultural legal norms which respect bedrock principles of each community's legal system in order to preserve the autonomy and self-determination of each.
Variational analysis of driven-dissipative bosonic fields

description: We present a method to perform a variational analysis of the quantum master equation for driven-disspative bosonic fields with arbitrary large occupation numbers. Our approach combines the P representation of the density matrix and the variational principle for open quantum system. We benchmark the method by comparing it to wave-function Monte-Carlo simulations and the solution of the Maxwell-Bloch equation for the Jaynes-Cummings model. Furthermore, we study a model describing Rydberg polaritons in a cavity field and introduce an additional set of variational paramaters to describe correlations between different modes.

description: We demonstrate a passive down-conversion imaging system that converts broadband ultraviolet light to narrow-band green light while preserving the directionality of rays, and thus enabling direct down-conversion imaging. At the same time our system has high transparency in the visible, enabling superimposed visible and ultraviolet imaging. The frequency conversion is performed by a subwavelength-thickness transparent downconverter based on highly efficient CsPbBr3 nanocrystals incorporated into the focal plane of a simple telescope or relay-lens geometry. The resulting imaging performance of this down-conversion system approaches the diffraction limit. This demonstration sets the stage for the incorporation of other high-efficiency perovskite nanocrystal materials to enable passive multi-frequency conversion imaging systems.

description: Ο σκοπός της διπλωματικής εργασίας ήταν να ιχνηλατηθεί η σχέση και η σύνδεση της εκπαίδευσης με την πολιτική φιλοσοφία στην αρχαία αθηναϊκή Πολιτεία. Για το σκοπό αυτό έγινε μια παρουσίαση και ανάλυση της έννοιας της πόλης και του πολίτη, μελετήθηκαν οι εκπαιδευτικές απόψεις των φιλοσόφων Πλάτωνα και Αριστοτέλη και η επεξεργασία των ιδεών τους κατέδειξε την κατεύθυνση που ήθελαν να δώσουν στην παιδεία των νέων.Συγκεκριμένα έγινε διασάφηση του όρου «πόλη», καθώς και των δικαιωμάτων και υποχρεώσεων του πολίτη σε αυτή, μελετήθηκαν τα έργα του Πλάτωνα : «Πρωταγόρας, Μένων, Συμπόσιον, Πολιτεία, Θεαίτητος και Νόμοι», καθώς και του Αριστοτέλη: « Μετά τα Φυσικά, Ηθικά Νικομάχεια και Πολιτικά» παρουσιάστηκαν οι εκπαιδευτικές τους κατευθύνσεις στα συγκεκριμένα έργα και συνδέθηκαν με την πολιτική φιλοσοφία με την οποία ήθελαν να εμποτίσουν τους νέους της εποχής.Η ανάδειξη αυτής της σχέσης πολιτικής φιλοσοφίας και εκπαίδευσης στην αρχαία Αθήνα μπορεί να γίνει οδηγός για μελέτες πάνω στην Ιστορία της Αγωγής, όπως επίσης για την πολιτική Ιστορία και σκέψη. Η γενικότητα της έρευνας έγκειται στο γεγονός ότι έχουν μελετηθεί όλες οι εκπαιδευτικές αντιλήψεις της εποχής, ενώ ειδικότερα έχει ξεδιπλωθεί η άμεση συνάρτηση της παιδείας με την πολιτική αγωγή και ταυτότητα που έπρεπε να διαθέτει ο Αθηναίος πολίτης.
description: The scope of this thesis was to investigate into the interplay and the interconnection of education and political philosophy in the ancient Athenian State. Therefore, a presentation and analysis of the significance of "city-State" and citizen is provided along with a study of the educational opinions of the philosophers Plato and Aristotle whose ideas showed the way they endeavored to influence the youth education.Specifically not only the term “city-state” is illuminated but the rights and obligations of the citizen in it as well. The works of Plato that were studied were: “Protagoras, Meno, Symposium, The Republic, Theaetetus, and Laws”, and those of Aristotle were: “Metaphysics, Nicomachean Ethics and Politics. There is a presentation of their educational aspects in these works and how they are connected with the political philosophy they wanted to impart to the youth of their contemporaneous time.The specification of this relationship between political philosophy and education in ancient Athens can guide to surveys on History of Education or on political history and thought. The generality of this thesis lies in the fact that it contains a study of all educational opinions of the era whereas at the same time it unfolds the exact interrelation of education and political identity of the Athenian citizen.
Theory of Feshbach molecule formation in a dilute gas during a magnetic field ramp

Year: 2005

description: Starting with coupled atom-molecule Boltzmann equations, we develop a simplified model to understand molecule formation observed in recent experiments. Our theory predicts several key features: (1) the effective adiabatic rate constant is proportional to density; (2) in an adiabatic ramp, the dependence of molecular fraction on magnetic field resembles an error function whose width and centroid are related to the temperature; (3) the molecular production efficiency is a universal function of the initial phase space density, the specific form of which we derive for a classical gas. Our predictions show qualitative agreement with the data from [Hodby et al, Phys. Rev. Lett. {\bf{94}}, 120402 (2005)] without the use of adjustable parameters.

We exploit saliency maps of neural networks and visual focus of humans to create diptychs that are reinterpretations of an original image according to both machine and human attentions. Using those diptychs as a qualitative evaluation of perception, we discuss some crucial issues of current \textit{task-oriented} artificial intelligence.

description: We study the optical responses of metal nanoparticle chains. Multiple scattering calculations are used to study the extinction cross sections of silver nanosphere chains of finite length embedded in a glass matrix. The transmission and reflection coefficients of periodic 2D arrays of silver nanospheres are also calculated to understand the interaction between nanoparticle chains. The results are in agreement with recent experiments. The splitting of plasmon-resonance modes for different polarizations of the incident light are explored. Results on the effect of disorder are also presented.

description: We report a comprehensive statistical analysis of the observational data of the cosmic evolution of supernova (SN) rate density, to derive constraints on cosmic star formation history and the nature of type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor. We use all available information of magnitude, SN type, and redshift information of both type Ia and core-collapse (CC) SNe in GOODS and SDF, as well as SN Ia rate densities reported in the literature. Furthermore, we also add 157 SN candidates in the past Subaru/Suprime-Cam data that are newly reported here, to increase the statistics. We find that the current data set of SN rate density evolution already gives a meaningful constraint on the evolution of the cosmic star formation rate (SFR) at z

description: We address the problem of spin dynamics in the presence of a thermal bath, by solving exactly the appropriate quantum master equations with continued-fraction methods. The crossover region between the quantum and classical domains is studied by increasing the spin value S, and the asymptote for the classical absorption spectra is eventually recovered. Along with the recognized relevance of the coupling strength, we show the critical role played by the structure of the system-environment interaction in the emergence of classical phenomenology.
