description: Migration researchers from the world’s leading universities and research organisations have released a new public database which brings together and assesses the latest estimates of how many migrants with irregular migration status live in various European countries and North America.The MIrreM project, a collaboration between 18 institutions, including the University of Oxford, which led on this aspect of the work, officially launched a new database of irregular migrant population estimates, the MIrreM Public Database on Irregular Migration Stock Estimates (‘the Database’). A new MIrreM Working Paper The Irregular Migrant Population of Europe presents an analysis of the Database. Measuring populations of irregular migrants can be complicated as fears and risks around immigration enforcement prevent many members of these communities from sharing personal information in surveys, censuses and other data gathering processes that typically allow statisticians to calculate population sizes and composition. As such, all data covering this subject is inherently uncertain and comes with large margins of error. However, the Database substantially updates previous assessments of the irregular migrant population in Europe, such as the estimates by the Clandestino research project dating back to 2008 and a subsequent study by the Pew Research Centre from 2019. MIrreM thereby offers essential new estimates, after a prolonged period of transformations in the European migration landscape. The Database also incorporates estimates of the United States’ irregular migrant population. For more information on the potential and pitfalls of using irregular migration data, including key takeaways for policymakers, see the MIrreM Policy Brief How fit is the available data on irregular migration for policymaking?

description: Moiré superlattices can induce correlated-electronic phases in twisted van-der-Waals materials. Strongly correlated quantum phenomena emerge, such as superconductivity and the Mott-insulating state. However, moiré superlattices produced through artificial stacking can be quite inhomogeneous, which hampers the development of a clear correlation between the moiré period and the emerging electrical and optical properties. Here we demonstrate in twisted-bilayer transition-metal dichalcogenides that low-frequency Raman scattering can be utilized not only to detect atomic reconstruction, but also to map out the inhomogeneity of the moiré lattice over large areas. The method is established based on the finding that both the interlayer-breathing mode and moiré phonons are highly susceptible to the moiré period and provide characteristic fingerprints. We visualize microscopic domains with an effective twist-angle resolution of ~0.1°. This ambient non-invasive methodology can be conveniently implemented to characterize and preselect high-quality areas of samples for subsequent device fabrication, and for transport and optical experiments.
Is the $f_0(600)$ meson a dynamically generated resonance? -- a lesson learned from the O(N) model and beyond

description: O(N) linear $σ$ model is solvable in the large $N$ limit and hence provides a useful theoretical laboratory to test various unitarization approximations. We find that the large $N_c$ limit and the $m_σ\to \infty$ limit do not commute. In order to get the correct large $N_c$ spectrum one has to firstly take the large $N_c$ limit. We argue that the $f_0(600)$ meson may not be described as generated dynamically. On the contrary, it is most appropriately described at the same level as the pions, i.e, both appear explicitly in the effective lagrangian. Actually it is very likely the $σ$ meson responsible for the spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in a lagrangian with linearly realized chiral symmetry.

Empirical Model of 10-130 MeV Solar Energetic Particle Spectra at 1 AU Based on Coronal Mass Ejection Speed and Direction

description: We present a new empirical model to predict solar energetic particle (SEP) event-integrated and peak intensity spectra between 10 and 130 MeV at 1 AU, based on multi-point spacecraft measurements from the Solar TErrestrial RElations Observatory (STEREO), the Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellites (GOES) and the Payload for Antimatter Matter Exploration and Light-nuclei Astrophysics (PAMELA) satellite experiment. The analyzed data sample includes 32 SEP events occurring between 2010 and 2014, with a statistically significant proton signal at energies in excess of a few tens of MeV, unambiguously recorded at three spacecraft locations. The spatial distributions of SEP intensities are reconstructed by assuming an energy-dependent 2D Gaussian functional form, and accounting for the correlation between the intensity and the speed of the parent coronal mass ejection (CME), and the magnetic field line connection angle. The CME measurements used are from the Space Weather Database Of Notifications, Knowledge, Information (DONKI). The model performance, including its extrapolations to lower/higher energies, is tested by comparing with the spectra of 20 SEP events not used to derive the model parameters. Despite the simplicity of the model, the observed and predicted event-integrated and peak intensities at Earth and at the STEREO spacecraft for these events show remarkable agreement, both in the spectral shapes and their absolute values.

description: In this work we investigated the question of how the molecular nature of the dielectric media and the polymer-solvent dielectric mismatch affect the collapse of a polyelectrolyte chain in solution by means of dissipative particle dynamics simulations. First, we studied whether the explicit treatment of dielectric media as polar beads instead of homogeneous dielectric background results in a different system behavior. We showed that the explicit treatment of polar beads facilitates the chain collapse, i.e. it occurs at smaller values of the electrostatic strength parameter values $λ^2 \sim Q^2/(εkT)$. We believe that the main reason for such behavior is that the dielectric response is in fact a collective effect, and the "effective" dielectric permittivity is different from the bulk value when the charges are close to each other and/or the density of the charges is high enough. This implies that the value of $λ$ does not have a universal meaning due to the small-scale effects related to the presence of polar species; therefore, changing the total unit charge $Q$ or the temperature $kT$ is not equivalent to changing $ε$. Next, we investigated how the difference of the dielectric permittivities of the polymer chain and solvent affects the collapse. We showed the polar chain adapts less swollen conformations in the polyelectrolyte regime and collapses easier compared to the case of non-polar chain; the possible reasons for such behavior are discussed.

The experience of being an informal caregiver to an early discharged cardiac surgery patient
Creators: name: Knoll, Susan Margaret
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Family members/informal caregivers of post-surgical patients are, by necessity, taking on the caregiving role sooner without any specified resources to help them. The input of these caregivers is essential so that nurses can understand their concerns, needs, struggles and rewards, and develop strategies to support the caregivers in their caregiving role. The purpose of this study was to increase nursing knowledge regarding the experience of being an informal caregiver of a cardiac surgery patient who had been discharged early from hospital. The qualitative research method of interpretive description guided the study. Unstructured interviews with eight informal caregivers of early discharged cardiac surgery patients were the major source of data. The findings of this study revealed that the experience was molded by the caregiver's past participation as a caregiver, as well as the caregiver's and care recipient's outlook on life and their interpersonal relationship. From the caregiver's frame of reference the caregiving experience was not always perceived as just the at-home recovery period but incorporated other significant milestones in the recovery journey. The caregivers often described their experience as it related to the care recipient's encounter with the disease process, diagnosis, surgery, in-hospital recovery and the at-home recovery period. The caregivers engaged in the process of caregiving which can be conceptualized as the course that accompanied the care recipients', and often as a consequence the caregivers' return to normal. This process involved: being vigilant and monitoring the care recipient's recovery, implementing strategies and techniques to assist the recovery process, and taking on a role to provide care and seek help as required. The encounter with caregiving affected all realms of the caregivers' lives, and the caregivers experienced feelings of stress, vulnerability and having to put their own lives on hold. The rewards of caregiving included the care recipient's return to health, and his/her appreciation of the care received. Further investigation is required to develop and study interventions which assist caregivers of early discharged patients. The findings of this study offer one perspective for such investigations.

description: We present the dynamic response of a connected Kagome artificial spin ice with emphasis on the effect of the vertex magnetization configuration on the mode characteristics. We use broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) spectroscopy and micromagnetic simulations to identify and characterize resonant modes. We find the mode frequencies of elongated, single-domain film segments not only depend on the orientation of their easy-axis with respect to the applied magnetic field, but also depend on the vertex magnetization configuration, which suggests control over the FMR mode can be accomplished by altering the vertex magnetization. Moreover, we study differences between the vertex center mode (VCM) and the localized domain wall (LDW) mode. We show that the LDW mode acts as a signature of the domain wall (DW) nucleation process and the DW dynamics active during segment reversal events. The results show the VCM and LDW modes can be controlled using a field protocol, which has important implications for applications in magnonic and spintronic devices.

description: Over the past years, extensive research has been dedicated to developing robust platforms and data-driven dialog models to support long-term human-robot interactions. However, little is known about how people's perception of robots and engagement with them develop over time and how these can be accurately assessed through implicit and continuous measurement techniques. In this paper, we explore this by involving participants in three interaction sessions with multiple days of zero exposure in between. Each session consists of a joint task with a robot as well as two short social chats with it before and after the task. We measure participants' gaze patterns with a wearable eye-tracker and gauge their perception of the robot and engagement with it and the joint task using questionnaires. Results disclose that aversion of gaze in a social chat is an indicator of a robot's uncanniness and that the more people gaze at the robot in a joint task, the worse they perform. In contrast with most HRI literature, our results show that gaze towards an object of shared attention, rather than gaze towards a robotic partner, is the most meaningful predictor of engagement in a joint task. Furthermore, the analyses of gaze patterns in repeated interactions disclose that people's mutual gaze in a social chat develops congruently with their perceptions of the robot over time. These are key findings for the HRI community as they entail that gaze behavior can be used as an implicit measure of people's perception of robots in a social chat and of their engagement and task performance in a joint task.

description: Capillarity-driven transport in nanoporous solids is ubiquitous in nature and is of increasing importance for the functionality of modern liquid-infused engineering materials. During imbibition, highly curved menisci are driven by negative Laplace pressures of several hundred atmospheres, exerting an enormous contractile load on an increasing portion of the porous matrix. Due to the challenge of simultaneously monitoring imbibition and deformation with high spatial resolution, the resulting coupling of solid elasticity to liquid capillarity has remained largely unexplored. Here, we study water imbibition in mesoporous silica using optical imaging, gravimetry, and high-resolution dilatometry. In contrast to an expected Laplace pressure-induced contraction, we find a square-root-of-time expansion and an additional abrupt length increase when the menisci reach the top surface. The final expansion is absent when we stop the imbibition front inside the porous medium in a dynamic imbibition-evaporation equilibrium, as is typical for water transport and transpiration in plants. These peculiar deformation behaviors are validated by single-nanopore molecular dynamics simulations and described by a continuum model that highlights the importance of expansive surface stresses at the pore walls (Bangham effect) and the buildup or release of contractile Laplace pressures as nanoscale menisci collectively advance, arrest, or disappear. Our model predicts that these observations are valid not only for water imbibition in silica, but for any imbibition process in nanopores, regardless of the liquid/solid combination. This also suggests that simple deformation measurements can be used to quantify surface stresses and Laplace pressures or transport in a wide variety of natural and artificial porous media.

description: It was shown by Bell that no local hidden variable model is compatible with quantum mechanics. If, instead, one permits the hidden variables to be entirely non-local, then any quantum mechanical predictions can be recovered. In this paper, we consider general hidden variable models which can have both local and non-local parts. We then show the existence of (experimentally verifiable) quantum correlations that are incompatible with any hidden variable model having a non-trivial local part, such as the model proposed by Leggett.

An efficient shooting algorithm for Evans function calculations in large systems

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2005
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: In Evans function computations of the spectra of asymptotically constant-coefficient linear operators, a basic issue is the efficient and numerically stable computation of subspaces evolving according to the associated eigenvalue ODE. For small systems, a fast, shooting algorithm may be obtained by representing subspaces as single exterior products \cite{AS,Br.1,Br.2,BrZ,BDG}. For large systems, however, the dimension of the exterior-product space quickly becomes prohibitive, growing as $\binom{n}{k}$, where $n$ is the dimension of the system written as a first-order ODE and $k$ (typically $\sim n/2$) is the dimension of the subspace. We resolve this difficulty by the introduction of a simple polar coordinate algorithm representing ``pure'' (monomial) products as scalar multiples of orthonormal bases, for which the angular equation is a numerically optimized version of the continuous orthogonalization method of Drury--Davey \cite{Da,Dr} and the radial equation is evaluable by quadrature. Notably, the polar-coordinate method preserves the important property of analyticity with respect to parameters.

description: It was shown recently that standard resummation of logarithms of $Q/p_T$ can be supplemented with the resummation of logarithmic contributions at large $x=Q^2/s$ in the case of a colourless final state such as Higgs produced via gluon fusion or the production of a lepton pair via Drell--Yan mechanism. Such an improved transverse momentum resummation takes into account soft emissions that are emitted at very small angles. We report on recent phenomenological studies of a combined threshold-improved $p_T$ and threshold resummation formalism to the Higgs boson produced at the LHC where small-$p_T$ and threshold logarithms are resummed up to NNLL and NNLL* respectively. We show that the effect of the modified $p_T$ resummation yields a faster perturbative convergence in the small-$p_T$ region while the effect of the threshold one improves the agreement with fixed-order calculations in the medium and large-$p_T$ regions.

description: The very first in-ring reaction experiment at the HIRFL-CSR heavy-ion storage ring, namely proton elastic scattering on stable $^{58}$Ni nuclei, is presented. The circulating $^{58}$Ni$^{19+}$ ions with an energy of 95 MeV/u were interacting repeatedly with an internal hydrogen gas target in the CSRe experimental ring. Low energy proton recoils from the elastic collisions were measured with an ultra-high vacuum compatible silicon-strip detector. Deduced differential cross sections were normalized by measuring K-shell X-rays from $^{58}$Ni$^{19+}$ projectiles due to the $^{58}$Ni$^{19+}$-H$_2$ ionization collisions. Compared to the experimental cross sections, a good agreement has been achieved with the theoretical predictions in the measured region, which were obtained by using the global phenomenological optical model potentials. Our results enable new research opportunities for optical model potential studies on exotic nuclides by using the in-ring reaction setup at the HIRFL-CSR facility.

description: The matched filtering technique is used to search for gravitational wave signals of a known form in the data taken by ground-based detectors. However, the analyzed data contains a number of artifacts arising from various broad-band transients (glitches) of instrumental or environmental origin which can appear with high signal-to-noise ratio on the matched filtering output. This paper describes several techniques to discriminate genuine events from the false ones, based on our knowledge of the signals we look for. Starting with the $χ^2$ discriminator, we show how it may be optimized for free parameters. We then introduce several alternative vetoing statistics and discuss their performance using data from the GEO600 detector.

description: We derive a general Hamiltonian that governs the interaction between an $N$-ion chain and an externally controlled laser field, where the ion motion is quantized and the laser field is considered beyond the plane-wave approximation. This general form not only explicitly includes terms that are used to drive ion-ion entanglement, but also a series of unwanted terms that can lead to quantum gate infidelity. We demonstrate the power of our expressivity of the general Hamiltonian by singling out the effect of axial mode heating and confirm this experimentally. We discuss pathways forward in furthering the trapped-ion quantum computational quality, guiding hardware design decisions.

description: In this paper, rhinoceros remains from Apulian sites of the late Pleistocene have been analysed. The majority of these remains have been attributed to Rhinoceros mercki by several previous authors and later to Stephanorhinus kirchbergensis. The results of our analysis show how the remains are all referable to S. hemitoechus. This species, with the exception of Coelodonta antiquitatis, represent the only rhinoceros species occurring in Apulia from approximately 100.000 to 40.000 years BP. Furthermore, the considered specimens are relatively smaller than those referred to S. hemitoechus from several late Pleistocene European sites. However, the small size of the Apulian rhinoceroses seems not to be accompanied by variation in proportions and morphology. We propose that the presence of these small-sized rhinoceroses can be due to a weak effect of endemism, related to the geographic characteristics of Apulia.

description: Automatic Speech Recognition has made significant progress, but challenges persist. Code-switched (CSW) Speech
presents one such challenge, involving the mixing of multiple languages by a speaker. Even when multilingual ASR
models are trained, each utterance on its own usually remains monolingual. We introduce an evaluation dataset for
German-English CSW, with German as the matrix language and English as the embedded language. The dataset
comprises spontaneous speech from diverse domains, enabling realistic CSW evaluation in German-English. It
includes splits with varying degrees of CSW to facilitate specialized model analysis. As it is difficult to collect CSW
data for all language pairs, the provision of such evaluation data, is crucial for developing and analyzing ASR models
capable of generalizing across unseen pairs. Detailed data statistics are presented, and state-of-the-art (SOTA)
multilingual models are evaluated showing challanges of CSW speech.

description: Vertebrate fossil tracks have been studied through 3D modelling techniques during the last two decades to improve tracking procedures. Different laser scanners and software have been used during field investigation and this differentiation caused incompatibility between many analysis programs. Post processing procedures are not standardized among scientists and file precision give different results in additionally constrain comparison. The starting point to find a solution to the problem is to point out the main technologies used to collect data in the field. The resulting protocol does not oblige to uniform hardware but it does suggest combining different laser scanners with a minimum post processing to optimize the result. Important inkling would be to use 2D relief as a reference to organize 3D tracking procedures. Saving formats during post processing are improved by setting fixed landmarks integrated in the 3D model in a multitask file. The D.I.C.O.M. medical standard (*.cdm format) and the 3D printing international standard (*.stl format) when combined, may be a good solution for uniform the format. This approach might be the first step for the standardization of source and derived files and the creation of a worldwide 3D ichnological catalogue. This will allow creating a scientific improvement in terms of reproducibility and comparison of the experience.

description: We present a comparative study of four physical dust models and two single-temperature modified blackbody models by fitting them to the resolved WISE, Spitzer, and Herschel photometry of M101 (NGC 5457). Using identical data and a grid-based fitting technique, we compare the resulting dust and radiation field properties derived from the models. We find that the dust mass yielded by the different models can vary by up to factor of 3 (factor of 1.4 between physical models only), although the fits have similar quality. Despite differences in their definition of the carriers of the mid-IR aromatic features, all physical models show the same spatial variations for the abundance of that grain population. Using the well determined metallicity gradient in M101 and resolved gas maps, we calculate an approximate upper limit on the dust mass as a function of radius. All physical dust models are found to exceed this maximum estimate over some range of galactocentric radii. We show that renormalizing the models to match the same Milky Way high latitude cirrus spectrum and abundance constraints can reduce the dust mass differences between models and bring the total dust mass below the maximum estimate at all radii.

description: Dynamics of the electron-nuclear and heteronuclear polarization-transfer processes in the optically oriented semi-insulating iron-doped indium phosphide were investigated through the characteristic time scales of the processes. (1) We find in the optical nuclear orientation process that the buildup times for 31P and 115In nuclear polarizations are of the same order. From the analysis of the cross-relaxation process between photo-excited electrons and nuclei, it is concluded that electron-nuclear dipolar-couplings are responsible for the polarization transfer in this case. This example shows that the nuclear-site dependence of the buildup time can be utilized to identify hyperfine couplings responsible for the process. (2) We find in the heteronuclear polarization transfer (cross polarization) process between optically oriented 31P and 115In that the cross-relaxation time is rather short; it is an order of magnitude shorter than that expected for nuclear dipolar couplings when a magnetic field is applied parallel to the crystalline [100] axis. From the cross polarization spectral density analysis, it is concluded that a large J-coupling of the order of 2 kHz exists between these nuclei and that its angular dependence is not of a simple pseudo-dipolar type.

description: A novel Genetic Algorithm is described that is suitable for determining the global minimum energy configurations of crystal structures and which can also be used as a polymorph search technique. This algorithm requires no prior assumptions about unit cell size, shape or symmetry, nor about the ionic configuration within the unit cell. This therefore enables true ab initio crystal structure and polymorph prediction. Our new algorithm uses a real-space representation of the population members, and makes use of a novel periodic cut for the crossover operation. Results on large Lennard-Jones systems with FCC- and HCP-commensurate cells show robust convergence to the bulk structure from a random initial assignment and an ability to successfully discriminate between competing low enthalpy configurations. Results from an ab initio carbon polymorph search show the spontaneous emergence of both Lonsdaleite and graphite like structures.

"New Developments on Triassic Integrated Stratigraphy"
Palermo, September 12-16, 2010
A review of the Halobia faunas and biostratigraphy of the uppermost Carnian – lowermost Norian of western Sicily is provided, through the study 166 fossiliferous beds of the 143 metres thick Pizzo Mondello Scillato Formation succession. The major role of the halobiids as biostratigraphic markers and tools for global correlations at the Carnian/Norian boundary is described. New morphometrical data on the ten species (Halobia carnica, H. lenticularis, H. cf. rugosa, H. radiata, H. simplex, H. superba, H. austriaca, H. styriaca, H. beyrichi, and H. mediterranea) occurring in this time interval are provided, as well as a revision of the correlations between western Sicily, the rest of the Tethys and North America. The Halobia lenticularis zone corresponds to the Anatropites spinosus ammonoid zone, the Halobia radiata zone spans the Carnian/Norian boundary interval, and the Halobia austriaca, Halobia styriaca and Halobia beyrichi zones correspond to the Guembelites jandianus ammonoid zone. The correlation of the distributions of these ten forms with those from other sections in both Tethys and North America allow to recognise the key role of Halobia austriaca as best halobiid marker for the definition of the base of the Norian GSSP.

description: Background and aims The teacher shortage is a common problem internationally (den Brok et al., 2017; Sutcher et al., 2019) – and also in Switzerland. To counter this problem, student teachers are encouraged to work as teachers during their studies. Public concerns were raised about whether teacher students are sufficiently prepared for teaching. We investigate whether part-time working students differ from non-working student teachers in self-regulated learning (SRL) skills which might help them jump-start their professional development. We hypothesize that student teachers with a particular skill set self-select into part-time work.  Methods 108 students filled out an online questionnaire on metacognitive self-regulation and 68 on time management and effort regulation. All scales stem from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ, Pintrich et al., 1991). We used confirmatory factor analysis to validate the scales. Further, multiple-indicator-multiple-causes (MIMIC) models were used to analyse the effects of working status and two control variables (age and institute of study) on the three latent SRL constructs.  Results Working status is a significant and the most consistent predictor for all three SRL scales. The model fit for metacognitive self-regulation was problematic but good for time management and effort regulation.
Conclusions The concern of whether the part-time working student teachers are sufficiently prepared for their jobs might be mitigated by the argument that those students who choose to work parttime have higher self-regulated learning skills and might thus acquire faster the necessary professional skills that it takes to become good teachers.

description: Large N duality conjecture between U(N) Chern-Simons gauge theory on $S^3$ and A-model topological string theory on the resolved conifold was verified at the level of partition function and Wilson loop observables. As a consequence, the conjectured form for the expectation value of the topological operators in A-model string theory led to a reformulation of link invariants in U(N) Chern-Simons theory giving new polynomial invariants whose integer coefficients could be given a topological meaning. We show that the A-model topological operator involving SO(N) holonomy leads to a reformulation of link invariants in SO(N) Chern-Simons theory. Surprisingly, the SO(N) reformulated invariants also has a similar form with integer coefficients. The topological meaning of the integer coefficients needs to be explored from the duality conjecture relating SO(N) Chern-Simons theory to A-model closed string theory on orientifold of the resolved conifold background.

description: New relations between QCD Borel sum rules for strong coupling constants of K-mesons to baryons are derived. It is shown that starting from the sum rule for the coupling constants $g_{πΣΣ}$ and $g_{πΣΛ}$ it is straightforward to obtain corresponding sum rules for the $g_{K Y N}$, $g_{K Y Ξ}$ couplings, $Y=Σ,Λ$.

description: A small collection of ammonoids from the Upper Triassic Scillato Formation at Pizzo Mondello (Agrigento, Sicily) is studied. The specimens were collected in a framework of a project aimed at providing an integrated high-resolution bio-chronostratigraphic support to the Upper Carnian-Norian magnetostratigraphic scale defined at this site, that is located in an historical area from which G.G. Gemmellaro collected the Upper Triassic of ammonoids monographed at the beginning of the XX century. The specimens from Pizzo Mondello were bed-by-bed sampled and represent the first collection of Upper Triassic ammonoids described from Sicily since Gemmellaro time. Quite several levels of the Pizzo Mondello section yielded ammonoids, but very few levels have provided more than one specimen. Due to the scarcity of specimens the taxonomic analysis has been complex because Gemmellaro, who described 166 new species, did not explain the variability of many of his taxa. Sixsteen taxa belonging to eleven genera are described. They include Placites sp. ind., Discotropites plinii (Mojsisovics), Anatropites sp., Microtropites cf. paronai, Metathisbites cf. affinis, Hyattites aff. praefloridus, Projuvavites boehmi (Gemmellaro), Projuvavites inflatus (Gemmellaro), Gonionotites cf. italicus, Gonionotites aff. recuperoi, Dimorphites noricus n. sp., Dimorphites selectus Mojsisovics, Dimorphites sp., Pregriesbachites n. gen. , P. bukowskii (Gemmellaro), Discophyllites insignis. Among the new taxa, Dimorphites noricus n. sp. formalizes the nomen nudum “Dimorphites n. sp. 1” quoted in literature for several years, that is index of the lowest subzone of the Norian stage.
The small collection document the Discotropites plinii and Gonionotites italicus subzones of the uppermost Carnian Spinosus Zone and the Dimorphites noricus and D. selectus subzones of the Jandianus Zone, the first zone of the Lower Norian. This chronostratigraphic classification firmly tie the Pizzo Mondello succession to the Tethyan chronostratigraphic scale, and is crucial for the calibration of the Halobia and conodont bioevents identified in the section. The chronostratigraphic correlations based on ammonoids of the Pizzo Mondello section with Feuerkogel (Austria), Jomsom (Nepal), West Union Canyon (Nevada, USA) and Black Bear Ridge (British Columbia, Canada) is discussed. These are the most complete ammonoid-bearing sections in the world spanning the Carnian/Norian boundary, but all of them show a discrete distribution of ammonoid-bearing beds across the boundary. Ammonoid will not provide the primary marker event for the definition of the GSSP of the Norian, but they are crucial for the selection of the most significant events.
