description: Geohazard community is a global community dealing with scientific problems with fragmentation, unequal access to data and research methods, and isolation. This is critical as volcanic eruptions or similar natural disasters can impact neighbouring countries and even entire continents. The main challenge faced by Geohazard therefore is to create services that can ease access to data and tools, conduct high-quality research, and share the findings. These services should provide timely and scientifically accurate information about volcanic and seismic activity, not only within the research community but also to various end-users and stakeholders at national, European, and international levels.

description: ZnO bulk crystals can be grown by several methods. 1) From the gas phase, usually by chemical vapor transport. Such CVT crystals may have high chemical purity, as the growth is performed without contact to foreign material. The crystallographic quality is often very high (free growth). 2) From melt fluxes such as alkaline hydroxides or other oxides (MoO3, V2O5, P2O5, PbO) and salts (PbCl2, PbF2). Melt fluxes offer the possibility to grow bulk ZnO under mild conditions (<1000 deg. C, atmospheric pressure), but the crystals always contain traces of solvent. The limited purity is a severe drawback, especially for electronic applications. 3) From hydrothermal fluxes, usually alkaline (KOH, LiOH) aqueous solutions beyond the critical point. Due to the amphoteric character of ZnO, the supercritical bases can dissolve it up to several per cent of mass. The technical requirements for this growth technology are generally hard, but this did not hinder its development as the basic technique for the growth of α-quartz, and meanwhile also of zinc oxide, during the last decades. 4) From pure melts, which is the preferred technology for numerous substances applied whenever possible, e.g. for the growth of silicon, gallium arsenide, sapphire, YAG. The benefits of melt growth are (i) the high growth rate and (ii) the absence of solvent related impurities. In the case of ZnO, however, it is difficult to find container materials that are compatible from the thermal (fusion point Tf = 1975 deg. C) and chemical (required oxygen partial pressure) point of view. Either cold crucible (skull melting) or Bridgman (with reactive atmosphere) techniques were shown to overcome the problems that are inherent to melt growth. Reactive atmospheres allow to grow not only bulk ZnO single crystals, but also other TCOs such as β-Ga2O3 and In2O3.

A distant genetic relationship between Siouan-Catawban and Yuchi
Creators: name: Kasak, Ryan
Publisher: name: Language Science Press
Year: 2016

description: The Siouan family comprises some twenty languages, historically spoken across a broad swath of the central North American plains and woodlands, as well as in parts of the southeastern United States. In spite of its geographical extent and diversity, and the size and importance of several Siouan-speaking tribes, this family has received relatively little attention in the linguistic literature and many of the individual Siouan languages are severely understudied. This volume aims to make work on Siouan languages more broadly available and to encourage deeper investigation of the myriad typological, theoretical, descriptive, and pedagogical issues they raise.

The 17 chapters in this volume present a broad range of current Siouan research, focusing on various Siouan languages, from a variety of linguistic perspectives: historical-genetic, philological, applied, descriptive, formal/generative, and comparative/typological. The editors' preface summarizes characteristic features of the Siouan family, including head-final and "verb-centered" syntax, a complex system of verbal affixes including applicatives and subject-possessives, head-internal relative clauses, gendered speech markers, stop-systems including ejectives, and a preference for certain prosodic and phonotactic patterns.

The volume is dedicated to the memory of Professor Robert L. Rankin, a towering figure in Siouan linguistics throughout his long career, who passed away in February of 2014.

Recordando los Binnigula'sa' -multiple voices in the Lienzo de Guevea y Petapa
Creators: name: Joshua, Schwab
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: People of the central valley of Oaxaca and Isthmus of Tehuantepec are generally referred to by the Nahuatl term Zapotec, though we call ourselves Binnizá. Although stone sculptures reveal that our people were among the first groups in Mesoamerica to utilize script, few examples of writing by “our ancestors, the binnigula’sa’” survive. One exception is the cartographic history known as the Lienzo de Guevea and Petapa, painted in 1540 in response to a Spanish order for land documentation. As I will show, this historical document is unusual in that it refers to two communities, Santiago Guevea de Humboldt and Santo Domingo Petapa. Both thematically and visually, the Lienzo has been appreciated in two parts. The upper half provides cartographic information, which I argue are the boundaries that define the territory of both Guevea and Petapa. The lower half includes genealogical and tribute information that pertains to the polities of Guevea/Petapa and Tehuantepec. Current research on the Lienzo has been distorted by an overriding focus on information related to the polity of Tehuantepec, because this Lienzo includes the most complete known genealogy of Zapotec rulers, tracing those of Tehuantepec back to their roots in the central valley polity of Zaachila. The importance of this document to the communities of Guevea and Petapa has been investigated only in terms of the circumstances of later copies, not the 1540 original. By looking more closely at all the historical events and genealogical or political relationships depicted on the original Lienzo, it is possible to demonstrate that this document was not designed to legitimate the tributary rights of the Tehuantepec polity before the Spanish. . I acknowledge that the oral histories shared with me by members of the communities of Guevea and Petapa, as well as my community of Rancho Gubiña, have been instrumental in realizing that the Lienzo de Guevea y Petapa encompasses multiple histories and voices. My aim is to recover some of these voices in order to present a reading of this Lienzo that respects the Binnigula’sa’ of both communities of Santiago Guevea de Humboldt and Santo Domingo Petapa.

description: HD 181327 is a young F5/F6V star belonging to the Beta Pictoris moving group (12 Myr). It harbors an optically thin belt of circumstellar material at 90 AU. We aim to study the dust properties in the belt in details, and to constrain the gas-to-dust ratio. We obtained far-IR observations with the Herschel/PACS instrument, and 3.2 mm observations with the ATCA array. The geometry of the belt is constrained with newly reduced HST/NICMOS images that break the degeneracy between the disk geometry and the dust properties. We use the radiative transfer code GRaTer to compute a large grid of models, and we identify the grain models that best reproduce the Spectral Energy Distribution through a Bayesian analysis. We attempt to detect the [OI] and [CII] lines with PACS spectroscopy, providing observables to our photochemical code ProDiMo. The HST observations confirm that the dust is confined in a narrow belt. The continuum is detected in the far-IR with PACS and the disk is resolved with both PACS and ATCA. A medium integration of the gas spectral lines only provides upper limits on the line fluxes. We show that the HD 181327 dust disk consists of micron-sized grains of porous amorphous silicates and carbonaceous material surrounded by an important layer of ice, for a total dust mass of 0.05 M\oplus (up to 1 mm). We discuss evidences that the grains are fluffy aggregates. The upper limits on the gas lines do not provide unambiguous constraints: only if the PAH abundance is high, the gas mass must be lower than 17 M\oplus. Despite the weak constraints on the gas disk, the age of HD 181327 and the properties of the dust disk suggest that it has passed the stage of gaseous planets formation. The dust reveals a population of icy planetesimals, similar to the primitive Kuiper Belt, that may be a source for the future delivery of water and volatiles onto forming terrestrial planets.

description: Recently Java programming environment has become so popular. Java programming language is a language that is designed to be portable enough to be executed in wide range of computers ranging from cell phones to supercomputers. Computer programs written in Java are compiled into Java Byte code instructions that are suitable for execution by a Java Virtual Machine implementation. Java virtual Machine is commonly implemented in software by means of an interpreter for the Java Virtual Machine instruction set. As an object oriented language, Java utilizes the concept of objects. Our idea is to identify the candidate objects' references in a Java environment through hierarchical cluster analysis using reference stack and execution stack.

Ground state of the parallel double quantum dot system

description: We resolve the controversy regarding the ground state of the parallel double quantum dot system near half filling. The numerical renormalization group (NRG) predicts an underscreened Kondo state with residual spin-1/2 magnetic moment, ln 2 residual impurity entropy, and unitary conductance, while the Bethe Ansatz (BA) solution predicts a fully screened impurity, regular Fermi-liquid ground state, and zero conductance. We calculate the impurity entropy of the system as a function of the temperature using the hybridization-expansion continuous-time quantum Monte Carlo technique, which is a numerically exact stochastic method, and find excellent agreement with the NRG results. We show that the origin of the unconventional behavior in this model is the odd-symmetry "dark state" on the dots.

description: Human society is essentially composed of, and based on, socialinteraction groups. Whether in the form of small groups or a systemic whole, interactions exist not only on the level of individuals, but also in interactions between groups. Anthropologists, psychologists and sociologists have long recognized the importance of groups in society and have examined many of these interactions . Oddly enough, while considerable emphasis has been placed on small groups and on larger political units, the intermediate stage of sociopolitical development has largely been ignored . This is even more surprising in view of the recognized social importance of groups of this size. In this study I have, therefore, undertaken an examination of the basic causes of group formation and extinction. Because of the close relationship between band formation and migration in the ethnogenesis of political groups, a similar study was also made with regard to migration causality. The study population consists of bands or band units identifiable in western Canada in the period from A.D. 1600 to A.D. 1900. The analysis, I feel, sheds considerable light not only on the ethnogenesis of western Canadian Indian bands, but also on the processes of band formation, expiration, and migration, revealing heretofore unexpected interrelationships in causality.

description: A self-stabilizing protocol tolerates by definition transient faults (faults of finite duration). Recently, a new class of self-stabilizing protocols that are able to tolerate a given number of permanent faults. In this paper, we focus on self-stabilizing protocols able to tolerate Byzantine faults, that is faults that introduce an arbitrary behaviour. We focus on strict-stabilization in which the system have to contain the effects of Byzantine faults. Specificaly, we study the possibility to construct in a self-stabilizing way a maximal matching in a network where an arbitrary number of process may become Byzantine.
COMPARING READMISSION RATES BETWEEN PHYSICIAN AND PHYSICIAN/ACNP TEAM
Creators: name: Carchi, Anna
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2014

description: Heart failure (HF) is the most common and costly reason for readmission. The acute care nurse practitioner (ACNP) is the ideal advanced practice nurse (APN) to help manage HF patients in the hospital setting. The aim of this study was to determine readmission rate differences when an ACNP was involved in the management of HF patients. This retrospective study was conducted to compare all-cause, unplanned 30-day readmission rates in HF patients managed by a physician alone versus a physician/ACNP team, in a single community hospital setting. Patient demographic variables were analyzed to determine their association with readmission rates. Slightly longer lengths of stay were found in the physician/ACNP group but ranges between groups varied (p = .03). The odds of being readmitted increased by a factor of 2.2 for each hospitalized day during the initial admission (OR, 2.156; 95% CI; p <.0001). Results demonstrated greater odds for readmission in the physician group but was not statistically significant (OR, 2.632; 95% CI; p = .07). Inversely, the odds of being readmitted decreased with ACNP involvement (OR, 0.38; 95% CI; p = .07) but again was not statistically significant. Being admitted in the 12 months prior to this study was associated with readmission during the study period (p = 0.07). Utilization of ACNPs in the hospital setting may help reduce readmission rates in HF patients and may offer relief in other chronic disease related readmissions.
Linear transmission and reflection spectroscopic studies of colloidal PbS(x) nanocrystal films : paving the way for nonlinear optics in such films
Creators: name: Ning, Hailong
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis investigates the feasibility of conducting nonlinear degenerate four-wave-mixing experiments on colloidal PbS or PbSe semiconductor nanocrystal films. It concludes that such experiment cannot be effectively carried out in the conventional forward geometry due to large scattering from the emulsive nanocrystal films, while it may be possible in the backward geometry. These conclusions were reached by studying the linear transmission and reflection spectra from a variety of PbS and PbSe NC films on both silicon and glass substrates. These studies suggest that the electronic structure of the PbS and PbSe NCs in close-packed films are well-maintained while the scattering inside these NC films is Rayleigh-like and quite strong. Theoretical fitting of these spectra reveals the refractive indicies and absorption rates of these films, which match those recently reported in the literature. It also suggests the presence of a distinct interfacial layer with a low concentration of nanocrystals between silicon and the dense NC emulsion, which was also confirmed by optical microscopy. This layer, on the order of 100 nm thick, has important consequences for optical studies of these films.

description: We present a method for determining the 3D intensity distribution of directed laser radiation with micrometer resolution in restricted volumes. Our method is based on in-coupling and guiding properties of optical fibers, with the current version requiring only few hundred micrometers. We characterize the performance of the method and experimentally demonstrate profiling of micrometer sized laser beams. We discuss the limiting factors and routes towards a further increase of the resolution and beam profiling in even more restricted volumes. Finally, as an application example, we present profiling of laser beams inside a micro ion trap with integrated optical fibers.

description: The technology of automatic document summarization is maturing and may provide a solution to the information overload problem. Nowadays, document summarization plays an important role in information retrieval. With a large volume of documents, presenting the user with a summary of each document greatly facilitates the task of finding the desired documents. Document summarization is a process of automatically creating a compressed version of a given document that provides useful information to users, and multi-document summarization is to produce a summary delivering the majority of information content from a set of documents about an explicit or implicit main topic. The lexical cohesion structure of the text can be exploited to determine the importance of a sentence/phrase. Lexical chains are useful tools to analyze the lexical cohesion structure in a text .In this paper we consider the effect of the use of lexical cohesion features in Summarization, And presenting a algorithm base on the knowledge base. Ours algorithm at first find the correct sense of any word, Then constructs the lexical chains, remove Lexical chains that less score than other, detects topics roughly from lexical chains, segments the text with respect to the topics and selects the most important sentences. The experimental results on an open benchmark datasets from DUC01 and DUC02 show that our proposed approach can improve the performance compared to sate-of-the-art summarization approaches.

description: This is version 5.0 of the ‘Requirements for certification of data centres’, published by ECRIN, the European Clinical Research Infrastructure Network (the first version was produced in 2011, the second in 2012, third in 2015, and fourth in 2018). The requirements are the criteria used by ECRIN to identify, and then certify, clinical trials units that can provide high-quality, compliant and safe data management, as well as effective management of the underlying systems and IT infrastructure. This latest version results from a review in 2022/23 by members of ECRIN’s data centre Certification Board and invited experts. The full list of contributors is provided on page iv. Over and above their use for certification, the requirements are intended to describe good practice in data and IT management in clinical research, and in clinical trials in particular. They were developed by senior staff working in non-commercial clinical trials units in Europe, and are intended as a practical guide for staff working in IT and data management in that sector (though the same principles apply to all clinical research environments). The 126 requirements, or standards, included in the current version are divided into 19 separate lists, focused on IT, data management, the more generic aspects of trial management, and – new in this version – statistical programming. Each standard has a code, a title, and a single statement summarising the requirement. This document provides, in addition, explanatory and elaboration material that attempts to clarify the meaning of each statement, and/or give examples of its application, and which also indicates the evidence that would normally be used to assess a unit’s compliance. The document also includes a brief introduction to the standards and their development, including a description of the ECRIN Data Centres audit process, a glossary of terms, and a summary of the main changes from the previous version.

Cosmological Evolution of Supermassive Black Holes. II. Evidence for Downsizing of Spin Evolution

description: The spin is an important but poorly constrained parameter for describing supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Using the continuity equation of SMBH number density, we explicitly obtain the mass-dependent cosmological evolution of the radiative efficiency for accretion, which serves as a proxy for SMBH spin. Our calculations make use of the SMBH mass function of active and inactive galaxies (derived in the first paper of this series), the bolometric luminosity function of active galactic nuclei (AGNs), corrected for the contribution from Compton-thick sources, and the observed Eddington ratio distribution. We find that the radiative efficiency generally increases with increasing black hole mass at high redshifts (z>~1), roughly as η\propto M_bh^0.5, while the trend reverses at lower redshifts, such that the highest efficiencies are attained by the lowest mass black holes. Black holes with M_bh>~10^8.5M_sun maintain radiative efficiencies as high as η~0.3-0.4 at high redshifts, near the maximum for rapidly spinning systems, but their efficiencies drop dramatically (by an order of magnitude) by z~0. The pattern for lower mass holes is somewhat more complicated but qualitatively similar. Assuming that the standard accretion disk model applies, we suggest that the accretion history of SMBHs and their accompanying spins evolve in two distinct regimes: an early phase of prolonged accretion, plausibly driven by major mergers, during which the black hole spins up, then switching to a period of random, episodic accretion, governed by minor mergers and internal secular processes, during which the hole spins down. The transition epoch depends on mass, mirroring other evidence for "cosmic downsizing" in the AGN population; it occurs at z~2 for high-mass black holes, and somewhat later, at z~1, for lower-mass systems.

description: The peak energy resolution of germanium detectors deteriorates with increasing neutron fluence. This is due to hole capture at neutron-created defects in the crystal which prevents the full energy of the gamma-ray from being recorded by the detector. A phenomenological model of coaxial HPGe detectors is developed that relies on a single, dimensionless parameter that is related to the probability for immediate trapping of a mobile hole in the damaged crystal. As this trap parameter is independent of detector dimensions and type, the model is useful for predicting energy resolution as a function of neutron fluence.

description: We have used the Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UVIT) aboard AstroSat to study star formation in a sample of nine dual nuclei galaxies with separations ~11 kpc, which is an expected outcome of galaxy mergers. To minimize the contribution of active galactic nuclei (AGN) emission, we have used mid-IR color cut-offs and masked the AGN-dominated nuclei. The UV continuum slope ($β$) is used to calculate the internal extinction (A$_V$) which ranges from 0.53 to 4.04 in the FUV band and 0.44 to 3.10 in the NUV band for the sample. We have detected $1-20$ star-forming clumps (SFCs) in our sample galaxies. The extinction-corrected total FUV star-formation rate (SFR) ranges from $\sim$0.35 to $\sim$32 M$_\odot$ yr$^{-1}$. Our analyses of A$_V$, specific SFR (sSFR) show that dual nuclei sources are associated with dusty, star-forming galaxies. The FUV$-$NUV color maps show redder color in the nuclear and disk regions while bluer color is observed in the outskirts of most galaxies which can be due to embedded dust or different stellar populations. We have found some signatures of possible stellar/AGN feedback like a ring of star formation, a redder ring around blue nuclei, etc. However, further observations are required to confirm this.

Heroes and heroines : a feminist analysis of female child protagonists in the epic fantasies of George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and Philip Pullman
Creators: name: Campbell, Caitlin Anne
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia

description: The genre of epic fantasy, with its origins in patriarchal mythologies, has traditionally been the realm of male protagonists and masculine modes of heroism. Authors of children’s epic fantasy, however, often portray pairings of male and female child protagonists working together in the fight against evil. And yet, despite the inclusion of female protagonists in many epic fantasies for children, patriarchal values dominate the genre, as aggression, physical prowess, rational detachment, and action define the hero. Through the lens of post-structural feminist theory, this study—spanning twelve texts, seven main characters, and 130 years of literary history—examines the female child protagonist and the intersection of girlhood and heroism as depicted in the epic fantasies of George MacDonald, C.S. Lewis, and Philip Pullman.

description: The purpose of this exploratory, descriptive study was to determine if there is any difference in moral distress levels between certified registered nurse anesthetists (CRNAs) working in medically supervised practice versus independent practice. The California CRNA population (1,190) was administered a 63-question survey, yielding demographic, quantitative, and qualitative data for 175 respondents. Quantitative data were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) 22.0. An independent samples t test suggested that medically supervised CRNAs had higher moral distress scores (176.8) versus independent practice CRNAs (187.8; p = .002). A chisquare analysis revealed that CRNAs in independent practice generally were male (p = .016) and worked in ambulatory surgery centers (p < .001). Independent practice CRNAs demonstrated lower moral distress scores versus supervised CRNAs who typically scored within the moderate distress range (p = .034). A conventional content analysis of the qualitative data showed CRNAs experienced moral distress when: pressured to give anesthesia to unoptimized patients, differences of opinion regarding anesthetic plans occurred, dealing with end-of-life issues, working with incompetent providers, and during interprofessional struggles between CRNAs and anesthesiologists. Implications for practice suggest increased administrative support, increased communication and reciprocated collegial respect between anesthesiologists and CRNAs, and ethics committee representation.

description: With the observations from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager aboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory, we statistically investigate the ephemeral regions (ERs) in the quiet Sun. We find that there are two types of ERs: normal ERs (NERs) and self-cancelled ERs (SERs). Each NER emerges and grows with separation of its opposite polarity patches which will cancel or coalesce with other surrounding magnetic flux. Each SER also emerges and grows and its dipolar patches separate at first, but a part of magnetic flux of the SER will move together and cancel gradually, which is described with the term "self-cancellation" by us. We identify 2988 ERs among which there are 190 SERs, about 6.4% of the ERs. The mean value of self-cancellation fraction of SERs is 62.5%, and the total self-cancelled flux of SERs is 9.8% of the total ER flux. Our results also reveal that the higher the ER magnetic flux is, (i) the easier the performance of ER self-cancellation is, (ii) the smaller the self-cancellation fraction is, and (iii) the more the self-cancelled flux is. We think that the self-cancellation of SERs is caused by the submergence of magnetic loops connecting the dipolar patches, without magnetic energy release.

description: This paper presents the designing of a neural network for the classification of Human activity. A Triaxial accelerometer sensor, housed in a chest worn sensor unit, has been used for capturing the acceleration of the movements associated. All the three axis acceleration data were collected at a base station PC via a CC2420 2.4GHz ISM band radio (zigbee wireless compliant), processed and classified using MATLAB. A neural network approach for classification was used with an eye on theoretical and empirical facts. The work shows a detailed description of the designing steps for the classification of human body acceleration data. A 4-layer back propagation neural network, with Levenberg-marquardt algorithm for training, showed best performance among the other neural network training algorithms.

description: The effect of change in climate on agriculture may accentuate at regional level creating more vulnerability in food security rather than global level as a whole.Vulnerability assessment is more than measuring potential harm using information about climate influence. It comprises an assessment of the region's or sector's ability to adapt.The assessment of vulnerability will give a comprehensive picture of current and future climate change risks with more stress factors to be anticipated. It will help identifyopportunities arising from climate change, and provide information on how to assess adaptive capacity and cope with uncertainty. The study was carried out in six districts i.e.,Ballari, Koppala, Raichur, Kalaburgi, Yadgiri and Bidar of Hyderabad- Karnataka Region in the year 2018-19 to assess vulnerability status of the districts due to climate change.The secondary data was collected to calculate the Vulnerability index of the districts. Various indicators are selected under three dimensions i.e., exposure, sensitivity and adaptive capacity. It can be visualized from the data presented in the study that Yadagir (0.64) belonged to very high degree of vulnerability to climate change whereas Ballari (0.58) and Bidar (0.50) districts were belong to high and medium level of vulnerability. It is also depicting that Kalburagi (0.45), Koppal (0.19) and Raichur (0.25) belonged to low vulnerability category.

description: It has been a challenging issue to provide digital quality multimedia data stream to the remote user through the distributed system. The main aspects to design the real distributed system, which reduce the cost of the network by means of reduce packet loss and enhanced over all system performance. Since the number of user increased rapidly in the network it posed heavy load to the video servers. The requested clients, servers are all distributed in nature and the data stream delivered to the user without error. In this work I have presented the performance of the video on demand server by efficient traffic control at real time with respect to incoming multirate traffic pattern . In this work, I present how the overall system performance gradually decreases when the client population sized in the clusters increase. This work indicated the load balancing required for the on demand video distributed system to provide efficient cost effective service to the local or remote clients.

description: Oxide-based ceramics offer promising thermoelectric (TE) materials for recycling high-temperature waste heat, generated extensively from industrial sources. To further improve the functional performance of TE materials, their power factor should be increased. This can be achieved by nanostructuring and texturing the oxide-based ceramics creating multiple interphases and nanopores, which simultaneously increase the electrical conductivity and the Seebeck coefficient. The aim of this work is to achieve this goal by compacting electrospun nanofibers of calcium cobaltite Ca3Co4−xO9+δ, known to be a promising p-type TE material with good functional properties and thermal stability up to 1200 K in air. For this purpose, polycrystalline Ca3Co4−xO9+δ nanofibers and nanoribbons were fabricated by sol–gel electrospinning and calcination at intermediate temperatures to obtain small primary particle sizes. Bulk ceramics were formed by sintering pressed compacts of calcined nanofibers during TE measurements. The bulk nanofiber sample pre-calcined at 973 K exhibited an improved Seebeck coefficient of 176.5 S cm−1 and a power factor of 2.47 μW cm−1 K−2 similar to an electrospun nanofiber-derived ceramic compacted by spark plasma sintering.

description: Sodmein Cave can be interpreted as one of the rare living sites in the time frame between 120 ka and 7 ka before today in northeast Africa. Nowadays, a hyperarid climate is dominant in the area, but the excavated sequence - with more than 4 m of stratified occupation debris of mainly Middle Stone Age (MSA) deposits - indicate for the Pleistocene regional wetter conditions.Main objective of the PhD is to understand the site formation and sediment accumulation within the cave and to derive environmental changes outside the cave from these results. Altogether, with geomorphological investigation of different archives in the area around Sodmein Cave, we get an idea of the palaeoenvironment and landscape evolution during the last 120 ka. One focus of research is directed to old wadi terraces with strongly developed desert pavement formation and MSA artefact concentrations, which are most likely in-situ located. With attention of the archaeological results, the PhD will present a integrated geoarchaeological work and a better understanding of the palaeoenvironment and landscape evolution in the Egyptian Eastern desert.

description: The mountainous Eastern Desert of Egypt is an extremely eroded environment where the conditions to encounter Pleistocene palaeoenvironmental geoarchives are very rare. Dominated by outcrops of Precambrian basement, the drainage system is characterized by relatively short wadis with small catchment areas (figure 1). The limestone hogback of Djebel Duwi is one of the exceptional regions within the Eastern Desert which provides a significant amount of quaternary deposits, mainly wadi terraces at the eastern and western side of Djebel Duwi, caused by the existing tectonic basin (figure 2). It also serves the location of the archaeological site of Sodmein Cave, where latest dating results of heated chert evidence human presence at the site during MIS 5 (Schmidt et al. 2015). Nowadays, a hyperarid climate is dominant in the area, but the cave deposits have indicate for the Pleistocene regional wetter conditions. In case of a lack of natural sediment sinks beside the cave, no  sedimentological investigations are possible to achieve the landscape evolution and therefore, the morphometric analysis of the wadi system is one key feature for the reconstruction of the former terrain and geomorphic processes.
