description: Nectomys squamipes (Brants, 1827). Het Geslacht der Muizen, p. 138. TYPE LOCALITY: Brazil, Säo Paulo, Säo Sebastiao (as restricted by Hershkovitz, 1944:32). DISTRIBUTION: Basin of the Rios Magdalena and Cauca, NC Colombia; east of the Andes broadly distributed from Guianas, Venezuela, and E Colombia southwards to NE Argentina, Uruguay, and SE Brazil; sea level to 2000 m. SYNONYMS: amazonicus, apicalis, aquaticus, brasiliensis, cephalotes, fulvinus, garleppii, grandis, magdalenae, mattensis, melanius, montanus, napensis, olivaceus, pollens, rattus, robustus, vallensis. COMMENTS: Hershkovitz (1944) arrayed most nominal taxa of water rats as subspecies of N. squamipes , a view maintained by Cabrera (1961). Gardner and Patton (1976) intimated the mixed composition of squamipes; Reig (in Honacki et al., 1982; 1986) has offered enumerations of valid species and probable synonymies. Fullscale generic revision warranted. See Ernest (1986, Mammalian Species, 265).

description: We construct the general free energy governing long-wavelength magnetism in two-dimensional oxide heterostructures, which applies irrespective of the microscopic mechanism for magnetism. This leads, in the relevant regime of weak but non-negligible spin-orbit coupling, to a rich phase diagram containing in-plane ferromagnetic, spiral, cone, and skyrmion lattice phases, as well as a nematic state stabilized by thermal fluctuations. The general conclusions are vetted by a microscopic derivation for a simple model with Rashba spin-orbit coupling.

description:
At the request of the Granville-Vance County Commissioners, a project team was formed to address Social and Community Context, a Social Determinant of Health (SDOH). The team aimed to improve community and social support for Black and Hispanic youth in Granville and Vance Counties who have experienced Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs). The proposal includes an SDOH analysis, contextual analysis, and recommendations for enhancing support. ACEs, which include abuse, neglect, and aspects of household dysfunction, are linked to long-term health issues like depression, anxiety, and chronic diseases. The 2021 Community Health Assessment highlighted the need for recreational activities and mental health support. Recommendations include implementing the Notice.Talk.Act program in schools, forming a Community Collaborative Council (CCC) using Experience-Based Co-Design (EBCD), and addressing systemic issues like poverty and limited mental health services. These initiatives aim to provide comprehensive support and improve health outcomes for at-risk youth.
Scheme independent consequence of the NSVZ relation for N=1 SQED with N_f flavors

description: The exact NSVZ $β$-function is obtained for ${\cal N}=1$ SQED with $N_f$ flavors in all orders of the perturbation theory, if the renormalization group functions are defined in terms of the bare coupling constant and the theory is regularized by higher derivatives. However, if the renormalization group functions are defined in terms of the renormalized coupling constant, the NSVZ relation between the $β$-function and the anomalous dimension of the matter superfields is valid only in a certain (NSVZ) scheme. We prove that for ${\cal N}=1$ SQED with $N_f$ flavors the NSVZ relation is valid for the terms proportional to $(N_f)^1$ in an arbitrary subtraction scheme, while the terms proportional to $(N_f)^k$ with $k\ge 2$ are scheme dependent. These results are verified by an explicit calculation of a three-loop $β$-function and a two-loop anomalous dimension made with the higher derivative regularization in the NSVZ and MOM subtraction schemes. In this approximation it is verified that in the MOM subtraction scheme the renormalization group functions obtained with the higher derivative regularization and with the dimensional reduction coincide.

title: Fluctuation diagnostics in the 2D Hubbard model from the dual-fermion method
Creators: name: Arzhang, Behnam
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland
Year: 2019

description: In this thesis, we use the Dual Fermion approximation (DF) to study the Hubbard
 model on the 2D square lattice by using two-particle quantities such as susceptibilities
 and full vertex functions.
 In the first chapter we give an introduction to the strongly correlated systems including
 their definitions and features. Then, in the next chapter, to solve our model we
 present some numerical methods. The numerical methods that we used for our study
 are the dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT), the continuous-time auxiliary field impurity
 solver (CTAUX), Fluctuation diagnostics and Dual Fermion approximation
 (DF). The DF method provides high-resolution results for single-particle quantities
 such as the density of states (DOS) and Self Energy as well two particles spin susceptibility
 and vertex functions. With these results, we can present high-resolution
 results of the fluctuation diagnostics method with minimal computational expense.
 We examine the full Q-vector dependence of the extended self-energy at the Nodal
 and Antinodal k-points and provide interpretation for the claim that spin fluctuations
 are responsible for the observed metal-to-insulator behaviour.

description: Microorganisms are rarely found in Nature swimming freely in an unbounded fluid. Instead, they typically encounter other organisms, hard walls, or deformable boundaries such as free interfaces or membranes. Hydrodynamic interactions between the swimmer and nearby objects lead to many interesting phenomena, such as changes in swimming speed, tendencies to accumulate or turn, and coordinated flagellar beating. Inspired by this class of problems, we investigate locomotion of microorganisms near deformable boundaries. We calculate the speed of an infinitely long swimmer close to a flexible surface separating two fluids; we also calculate the deformation and swimming speed of the flexible surface. When the viscosities on either side of the flexible interface differ, we find that fluid is pumped along or against the swimming direction, depending on which viscosity is greater.

description: Heat engines extract work by running cyclically between two heat reservoirs. When the two reservoirs are thermal and at different temperatures, the maximum efficiency of the engine is given by the Carnot limit. Here we consider a quantum Otto cycle for a time-dependent harmonic oscillator coupled to an engineered squeezed thermal reservoir. We show that the efficiency at maximum power increases with the degree of squeezing, exponentially approaching unity for large squeezing parameters $r$. Furthermore, we propose an experimental scheme to implement such a system by using a single trapped ion in a linear Paul trap with special geometry and coupled to engineered reservoirs. Our analytical investigations are supported with Monte Carlo simulations that demonstrate the feasibility of our proposal. For realistic trap parameters, an increase of up to a factor of four is reached, largely exceeding the classical limit.

description: Stepwise refinement of algebraic specifications is a well known formal methodology for program development. However, traditional notions of refinement based on signature morphisms are often too rigid to capture a number of relevant transformations in the context of software design, reuse, and adaptation. This paper proposes a new approach to refinement in which signature morphisms are replaced by logical interpretations as a means to witness refinements. The approach is first presented in the context of equational logic, and later generalised to deductive systems of arbitrary dimension. This allows, for example, refining sentential into equational specifications and the latter into modal ones.

description: We studied the electronic structure of a conventional superconductor, ZrB(12) using high resolution x-photoemission spectroscopy and single crystalline samples. Experimental results with different bulk sensitivity reveals boron deficiency and different valence states of Zr at the surface relative to the bulk. Signature of a satellite features is observed in the Zr core level spectra corresponding to the bulk of the material suggesting importance of electron correlation among the conduction electrons in the bulk while the surface appears to be uncorrelated. These results provide an insight in fabricating devices based on such superconductors.

description: We study the inclusive production of J/psi and psi(2S) mesons originating from the decays of bottom-flavored hadrons produced in p anti-p collisions at the Fermilab Tevatron and in pp collisions at the CERN LHC. We work at next-to-leading order in the general-mass variable-flavor-number scheme (GM-VFNS) implemented with nonperturbative fragmentation functions fitted to e^+e^- data of inclusive b-hadron production exploiting their universality. The three-momentum distributions of the charmonia used were extracted from B-decay data in the framework of nonrelativistic-QCD factorization. Comparing the theoretical predictions thus obtained with transverse-momentum distributions measured by the CDF II, ALICE, ATLAS, CMS, and LHCb Collaborations, we find excellent overall agreement as for both absolute normalization and lineshape, which provides a nontrivial test of the GM-VFNS over wide ranges of center-of-mass energy, transverse momentum, and rapidity.

description: pHluorins are pH‐sensitive genetically encoded fluorescent sensors, that allow measurement of intracellular pH in living cells. In particular, pH-Axxam-Sensor (pHAxensor) is a chimera between a pH-insensitive Red fluorescent protein (RFP) and a pHluorin, pH-sensitive Green fluorescent protein (GFP). At acidic pH, pHluorin is quenched, whereas at physiological pH, pHluorin fluorescence increases. SLC9B2 belongs to the Cation/Proton Antiporter (CPA) superfamily, and it couples inward transport of protons to mediate sodium efflux from the cells. Activation of SLC9B2 leads to pH changes that can be detected by the pH biosensor.

description: In alignment with the Paris Agreement, the city of Oxford in the UK aims to become carbon neutral by 2040. Renewable energy help achieve this target by reducing the reliance on carbon-intensive grid electricity. This research seeks to optimally size solar photovoltaic and lithium battery storage systems, reducing Oxford's grid electricity reliance in buildings. The analysis starts with modeling the electricity demand. The model uses Elexon electricity settlement profiles, and assembles them into the demand profile according to the quantity and types of buildings in Oxford. Then, solar generation is modeled using Pfenninger and Staffell's method. Solar photovoltaic and lithium storage systems are sized using a hybridized analytical and iterative method. First, the method calculates the solar system size search range, then iterates through the range. At each solar size, the method calculates and iterates through the storage system size search range. Within each iteration, the renewable system is simulated using demand and generation data with a simplified system set-up and the conventional operation strategy. The method outputs combinations of solar system capacity, storage system capacity, and grid electricity import. Each combination's levelized cost of electricity is calculated, and the lowest cost combination is the optimal sizing. Solar and storage system costs are projected from 2019 to 2100, and the optimal sizing is calculated for each year. The result shows that solar photovoltaic is economically competitive, but lithium storage cost is still too high. As solar and storage prices continue to drop, they will take up greater portions of the energy system. However, there will always be a need for the grid, as it provides flexibility and can meet demands that are too costly for solar and storage

description: In response to increasing calls for the reform of the undergraduate science curriculum for life science majors and pre-medical students (Bio2010, Scientific Foundations for Future Physicians, Vision & Change), an interdisciplinary team has created NEXUS/Physics: a repurposing of an introductory physics curriculum for the life sciences. The curriculum interacts strongly and supportively with introductory biology and chemistry courses taken by life sciences students, with the goal of helping students build general, multi-discipline scientific competencies. In order to do this, our two-semester NEXUS/Physics course sequence is positioned as a second year course so students will have had some exposure to basic concepts in biology and chemistry. NEXUS/Physics stresses interdisciplinary examples and the content differs markedly from traditional introductory physics to facilitate this. It extends the discussion of energy to include interatomic potentials and chemical reactions, the discussion of thermodynamics to include enthalpy and Gibbs free energy, and includes a serious discussion of random vs. coherent motion including diffusion. The development of instructional materials is coordinated with careful education research. Both the new content and the results of the research are described in a series of papers for which this paper serves as an overview and context.

description: La carbonatation accélérée des granulats de béton est une des solutions envisagées par l’industrie cimentière pour réduire ses émissions de CO2 et tendre d’ici 2050 vers la neutralité carbone. Dans cette optique, les groupes HOLCIM et VICAT ont testé dans leur cimenterie deux procédés de carbonatation accélérée. Les données transmises par les deux cimentiers et les résultats des analyses de cycle de vie menées par ailleurs, ont servi de base aux analyses économiques exposées dans cet article. Les résultats montrent que la carbonatation accélérée dans une cimenterie renchérit fortement le coût du granulat recyclé quel que soit le procédé adopté. Les coûts liés au transport et à un processus industriel supplémentaire ne sont pas compensés par les revenus potentiels liés à la vente de quotas carbone même à un prix du carbone de 100€/t. Néanmoins, comme la quantité de CO2 captée est plus importante que la quantité de CO2 émise pour la fraction fine (sable), dans la double optique de baisse des GES et de préservation de la matière, cette technologie n’est pas économiquement condamnée si les prix du carbone évoluent fortement à la hausse et si les contraintes liées au transport sont minimisées.

title: A study of dendrochirotid sea cucumbers with a focus on Cucumaria frondosa and its potential use in integrated multi-trophic aquaculture
Creators: name: Sun, Jiamin
Publisher: name: Memorial university of Newfoundland
Year: 2019

description: Sea cucumbers play fundamental roles in marine ecosystems, and they have long been commercially harvested for seafood. In light of stock declines worldwide, research on cold-water suspension-feeding species is expanding. This thesis explores two species from the North Atlantic. The first chapter validates an aging technique in Psolus fabricii, based on the growth rings found in its large calcareous dermal plates. Imaging of plates obtained from juveniles of known age confirmed the annual addition of a layer that extends the plate both vertically and horizontally, generating a pair of dark and light rings that can be used for aging. Wild individuals from shallow inshore areas were aged to a maximum of 28 years and their main morphometrics compared with age. The three other experimental chapters focus on Cucumaria frondosa, which has been commercially harvested for decades in North America and was identified as a potential candidate for aquaculture, especially as a biofilter in integrated multi-tropic aquaculture (IMTA). The locomotor and feeding behaviours, and microhabitat selection (spatial distribution) of C. frondosa in response to various environmental factors were investigated in the laboratory. Sea cucumbers moved away from static conditions and fled the strongest flows, and their tentacle deployment and insertion rates (i.e. feeding rate) increased with flow. The flow regime favoured by C. frondosa was 21-40 cm s⁻¹. Individuals were overall more mobile during the night, whereas no feeding differences were detected between diurnal and nocturnal phases. Gradients in phytoplankton concentration modulated the deployment of feeding tentacles but did not trigger any displacement toward the food source. C. frondosa exhibited a clear preference for substrates composed of bare rocks and rocks with coralline algae and displayed a slight preference for darker substrate backgrounds. Finally, C. frondosa held in effluent water from salmon culture was determined to assimilate the waste, which modulated its biochemical composition; however, its health condition declined, suggesting that it cannot find appropriate or sufficient nutrients for growth and reproduction in these wastes. The findings presented here aim to improve our understanding of the biology and ecology of cold-water suspension-feeding sea cucumbers to guide and assist fisheries management and aquaculture development.

description: Understanding the human-object interactions (HOIs) from a video is essential to fully comprehend a visual scene. This line of research has been addressed by detecting HOIs from images and lately from videos. However, the video-based HOI anticipation task in the third-person view remains understudied. In this paper, we design a framework to detect current HOIs and anticipate future HOIs in videos. We propose to leverage human gaze information since people often fixate on an object before interacting with it. These gaze features together with the scene contexts and the visual appearances of human-object pairs are fused through a spatio-temporal transformer. To evaluate the model in the HOI anticipation task in a multi-person scenario, we propose a set of person-wise multi-label metrics. Our model is trained and validated on the VidHOI dataset, which contains videos capturing daily life and is currently the largest video HOI dataset. Experimental results in the HOI detection task show that our approach improves the baseline by a great margin of 36.3% relatively. Moreover, we conduct an extensive ablation study to demonstrate the effectiveness of our modifications and extensions to the spatio-temporal transformer. Our code is publicly available on https://github.com/nizhf/hoi-prediction-gaze-transformer.

description: Cylindrical re-entrant cavities are unique three-dimensional structures that resonate with their electric and magnetic fields in separate parts of the cavity. To further understand these devices, we undertake rigorous analysis of the properties of the resonance using in-house developed Finite Element Method (FEM) software capable of dealing with small gap structures of extreme aspect ratio. Comparisons between the FEM method and experiments are consistent and we illustrate where predictions using established lumped element models work well and where they are limited. With the aid of the modeling we design a highly tunable cavity that can be tuned from 2 GHz to 22 GHz just by inserting a post into a fixed dimensioned cylindrical cavity. We show this is possible as the mode structure transforms from a re-entrant mode during the tuning process to a standard cylindrical Transverse Magnetic (TM) mode.

description: Le GT2-1 du PN FastCarb avait pour mission de mettre en œuvre des démonstrateur à l’échelle « pilote industriel » pour démontrer la capacité effective de fixation du CO2 par précipitation de calcite néoformée (séquestration). Les dispositifs mis en œuvre l’ont été par détournement d’installations existantes reconfigurées en carbonateurs, à savoir un sécheur à tambour tournant, un sécheur à lit fluidisé, un conteneur et un filtre à gravier. Les deux premiers étaient raccordés aux fumées industrielle de cimenterie, le troisième utilisait un gaz industriel purifié et le dernier fut le seul à être mis en œuvre à l’échelle du laboratoire en utilisant un mélange de gaz de laboratoire. Les résultats montrent que sans optimisation particulière en dehors de la mise en route, on peut séquestrer entre 30 et 60kg de CO2/t de GBR selon la technologie et le granulat employés.

description: L'application de la biocarbonatation aux granulats de béton a pour but de réduire leur porosité à l'eau, qui représente un frein à leur recyclage dans les bétons, notamment pour les sables. Plus précisément, il s'agit de réduire la porosité de leur mortier résiduel en précipitant des CaCO3 dans les pores et les microfissures en formant une gangue de CaCO3 tout autour du granulat. Cette étude s’attache dans un premier temps à définir un traitement multicouche pour produire des CaCO3 sur gélose. Une fois ce traitement établi, il est appliqué sur des disques de mortiers afin de faciliter la mise en œuvre du traitement. Une fois les deux couches de CaCO3 formées, le taux d’absorption en eau a diminué de 3,7%.

description: Dans le cadre de la réglementation énergétique RE2020, le secteur du bâtiment français se se doit de produire des bâtiments à énergie positive et bas carbone en prenant en compte l'analyse du cycle de vie des matériaux (de la conception des bâtiments à leur démolition). Avec cette nouvelle approche, tout laisse à penser que les structures en béton armé sont impactées négativement puisque les émissions de gaz à effet de serre se situent entre 300 et 400 kg en éq. CO2/m3 de béton (de la fabrication du ciment à la mise en œuvre du béton sur chantier). Si de multiples leviers sont possibles pour réduire l'impact environnemental comme, par exemple, l'utilisation de ciments à faible teneur en clinker ou la réduction du volume des éléments de structure en favorisant l'utilisation de béton à haute performance, il existe un autre levier sur lequel il est également possible de réduire leur empreinte environnementale : le piégeage du CO2 par carbonatation naturelle du béton tout au long de la durée de vie de l'ouvrage. Si la carbonatation reste un phénomène inducteur de corrosion pour les structures en béton armé, elle permet en revanche le piégeage d'une certaine quantité de CO2 atmosphérique. Le bâtiment présenté dans cette étude de cas est une résidence universitaire, nommée AZIYADE, totalement préfabriquée en usine. Les éléments porteurs verticaux et horizontaux ont été assemblés à sec sur le chantier. Les parois extérieures et les intérieures sont en béton brut, matricé ou poli. La carbonatation atmosphérique de ce bâtiment a été modélisée à l'aide du modèle proposé par la fib, et aussi avec le guide de calcul proposé sur la norme européenne NF EN 16757 en vue de calculer le piégeage de CO2 par carbonatation naturelle. La masse de CO2 piégé a été évaluée à partir des profondeurs de carbonatation prévues pour les différents éléments de construction. Pour une durée de vie de 50 ans, ce bâtiment devrait être capable de stocker entre 23 et 32 tonnes eq. CO2, ce qui représente au plus 12 % des émissions de CO2 dues à la décarbonatation du calcaire émis pour sa construction.

description: We prove that, for $X$, $Y$, $A$ and $B$ matrices with entries in a non-commutative ring such that $[X_{ij},Y_{k\ell}]=-A_{i\ell} B_{kj}$, satisfying suitable commutation relations (in particular, $X$ is a Manin matrix), the following identity holds: $ \mathrm{coldet} X \mathrm{coldet} Y = < 0 | \mathrm{coldet} (a A + X (I-a^{\dagger} B)^{-1} Y) |0 > $. Furthermore, if also $Y$ is a Manin matrix, $ \mathrm{coldet} X \mathrm{coldet} Y =\int \mathcal{D}(ψ, ψ^{\dagger}) \exp [ \sum_{k \geq 0} \frac{1}{k+1} (ψ^{\dagger} A ψ)^{k} (ψ^{\dagger} X B^k Y ψ) ] $. Notations: $ < 0 |$, $| 0 >$, are respectively the bra and the ket of the ground state, $a^{\dagger}$ and $a$ the creation and annihilation operators of a quantum harmonic oscillator, while $ψ^{\dagger}_i$ and $ψ_i$ are Grassmann variables in a Berezin integral. These results should be seen as a generalization of the classical Cauchy-Binet formula, in which $A$ and $B$ are null matrices, and of the non-commutative generalization, the Capelli identity, in which $A$ and $B$ are identity matrices and $[X_{ij},X_{k\ell}]=[Y_{ij},Y_{k\ell}]=0$.

description: We demonstrate that LFRic-Atmosphere, a model built using the Met Office's GungHo dynamical core, is able to reproduce idealised large-scale atmospheric circulation patterns specified by several widely-used benchmark recipes. This is motivated by the rapid rate of exoplanet discovery and the ever-growing need for numerical modelling and characterisation of their atmospheres. Here we present LFRic-Atmosphere's results for the idealised tests imitating circulation regimes commonly used in the exoplanet modelling community. The benchmarks include three analytic forcing cases: the standard Held-Suarez test, the Menou-Rauscher Earth-like test, and the Merlis-Schneider Tidally Locked Earth test. Qualitatively, LFRic-Atmosphere agrees well with other numerical models and shows excellent conservation properties in terms of total mass, angular momentum and kinetic energy. We then use LFRic-Atmosphere with a more realistic representation of physical processes (radiation, subgrid-scale mixing, convection, clouds) by configuring it for the four TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) scenarios. This is the first application of LFRic-Atmosphere to a possible climate of a confirmed terrestrial exoplanet. LFRic-Atmosphere reproduces the THAI scenarios within the spread of the existing models across a range of key climatic variables. Our work shows that LFRic-Atmosphere performs well in the seven benchmark tests for terrestrial atmospheres, justifying its use in future exoplanet climate studies.

description: La carbonatation des granulats de béton recyclés avec un gaz riche en CO2 pourrait être un procédé efficace pour accélérer le piégeage de ce gaz à effet de serre par des ouvrages en béton en fin de vie. Un tel procédé soulève nombre de questions qui sont étudiées ici aux moyens de simulations numériques. Le modèle utilisé est basé principalement sur les équations de conservation du CO2 et de l’eau. Une première étude s’intéresse à la carbonatation à l’air libre des granulats après concassage. Les simulations ne montrent pas d’impact majeur de la carbonatation naturelle pendant 90 jours de stockage sur le piégeage de CO2 par carbonatation accélérée a posteriori. Une seconde étude s’intéresse à l’influence de différents paramètres sur le procédé : la porosité, le degré de saturation en eau, la teneur en éléments carbonatables et le diamètre du granulat. Il ressort des simulations que la teneur en éléments carbonatables a une influence majeure sur la quantité de CO2 fixé. Le diamètre et le degré de saturation ont des effets couplés. Proche de la saturation en eau, la carbonatation est contrôlée par la diffusion gazeuse : le piégeage dépend beaucoup du diamètre du granulat. Loin de la saturation, ce dernier a peu d’influence : la carbonatation devient homogène dans le grain car contrôlée par les cinétiques chimiques.

description: We simulate the bond and site percolation models on several three-dimensional lattices, including the diamond, body-centered cubic, and face-centered cubic lattices. As on the simple-cubic lattice [Phys. Rev. E, \textbf{87} 052107 (2013)], it is observed that in comparison with dimensionless ratios based on cluster-size distribution, certain wrapping probabilities exhibit weaker finite-size corrections and are more sensitive to the deviation from percolation threshold $p_c$, and thus provide a powerful means for determining $p_c$. We analyze the numerical data of the wrapping probabilities simultaneously such that universal parameters are shared by the aforementioned models, and thus significantly improved estimates of $p_c$ are obtained.

description: Dans le contexte du projet Fastcarb, cet état de l’art vise à apporter un éclairage sur les différents mécanismes physico-chimiques gouvernant le processus de carbonatation en température. Trois paramètres, tous impactés par l’augmentation de la température, sont abordés de manière découplée : les transferts et équilibres hydriques, le transport de CO2 et l’évolution des propriétés de solubilité du CO2 et des phases hydratées. Concernant les transferts hydriques, il en ressort que les propriétés physiques de l’eau et les propriétés de transport (perméabilité et diffusivité) évoluent de manière à favoriser les transferts sous forme gazeuse. De fait, si la diffusion gazeuse du CO2 est intrinsèquement peu impactée par la température, la baisse avec la température de degré de saturation en eau du matériau à l’équilibre à une humidité relative donnée, va augmenter fortement la diffusivité. La température affecte aussi la solubilité des réactifs. Dans le cas de l’eau pure, le CO2 et les principaux hydrates (portlandite et CSH) sont moins solubles à haute température. Dans le cas d’une eau chargée comme l’eau interstitielle du béton, l’effet de la température sur les solubilités est en revanche beaucoup plus complexe du fait du couplage entre les différents phénomènes de dissolution gazeuse et solide.

title:  Lithofacies and alteration of the Hurricane zone, of the Boomerang volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit, Tulks belt, Central Newfoundland, Canada
Creators: name: English, Michelle
Publisher: name: Memorial University of Newfoundland

description: The Hurricane zone of the Boomerang volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) deposit is part of the VMShosting Cambro-Ordovician Tulks volcanic belt. The Hurricane zone is one of three lenses in the deposit and consists of a sub-horizontal (semi-)massive sulphide lens with combined resources of 55,100 tonnes @ 13.4% Zn, 7.0% Pb, 1.20% Cu, 159.0 g/t Ag, and 2.00 g/t Au. Mineralization is hosted in intermediate to felsic volcaniclastic rocks of the ca. 488 Ma Pats Pond Group (Victoria Lake supergroup) and consists of banded sphalerite, galena, chalcopyrite, and pyrite, which are interpreted to have formed below the seafloor within subseafloor sediments. Four alteration assemblages are identified: intense sericite-quartzpyrite, sericite-quartz-chlorite-pyrite, intense chlorite and chaotic carbonate. Whole-rock
 lithogeochemistry and short-wave infrared spectroscopy are useful in identifying key elements/element
 ratios and variations in white mica chemistry/mineralogy associated with each alteration assemblage and are useful vectors to mineralization.

description: We discuss spin-$S$ antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with three-spin interactions, next-nearest-neighbor interactions, and bond alternation. First, we prove rigorously that there exist parameter regions of the exact dimerized ground state in this system. This is a generalization of the Majumdar-Ghosh model to arbitrary $S$. Next, we discuss the ground-state phase diagram of the models by introducing several effective field theories and the universality classes of the transitions are described by the level-$2S$ $\mathrm{SU}(2)$ Wess-Zumino-Witten model and the Gaussian model. Finally, we determine the phase diagrams of $S=1$ and $S=3/2$ systems by using exact diagonalization and level spectroscopy.
