description: We have fitted the Mg2 absorption index gradients for 21 brightest cluster galaxies (BCGs), in the nearby Universe, for which we have obtained high signal-to-noise ratio, long-slit spectra on the Gemini telescopes. This is a sub-sample of a large optical, spatially-resolved, spectroscopic sample of BCGs which allows possible connections between the kinematical, dynamical and stellar population properties to be studied. We find a weak correlation between the Mg2 gradients and central velocity dispersion, with gradients becoming steeper with increasing mass. An equivalent correlation for normal ellipticals in the same mass range is not found, suggesting that the BCG stellar population profiles are shaped by mechanisms related to the potential well of the cluster where they live. This suggestion is reinforced by the existence of a correlation between the Mg2 gradients and the BCG distance to the X-ray peak luminosity of the cluster.

description:
The Kupferschiefer districts in Central Europe contain some of the world’s largest sediment-hosted stratiform Cu deposits. The fine-grained sulfides are hosted by the Rotliegend sandstone (S1), organic matter-rich Kupferschiefer (T1) mudstones and Zechstein Limestone (Ca1). In this study, standard and high-resolution microscopy techniques (reflected-transmitted light, SEM, FIB-TEM) are combined with quantitative mineralogical data (X-ray diffraction, QXRD) to characterize the key mineral assemblages and styles of sulfide mineralization in drill core samples from different localities (Sangerhausen, Allstedt, Wallendorf) of the Saale subbasin, Eastern Germany. Our QXRD data show a progressive decrease in calcite abundance from the underlying S1 into the T1 in the Sangerhausen and Allstedt drill cores and an upward increase in calcite in the Wallendorf drill core. Petrographic data show extensive in situ alteration of rock fragments and detrital feldspar in the S1. Diagenetic calcite has formed intergranular pore-filling cement that occludes primary porosity in the S1 and T1. The ore-stage sulfides (bornite, sphalerite, galena, ± pyrite) in the S1 and T1 are mostly formed as a replacement of calcite cement and, to a lesser extent, feldspar. High-resolution TEM data has helped to identify hematite and magnetite within particular calcite growth zones in the S1, which likely corresponds with the “Rote Fäule” alteration associated with the Cu sulfide mineralization. Nanoscale Cu-chloride complexes have also been identified, intergrown with pore-filling illite in the T1. In summary, the distribution and dissolution of calcite cement were critical to the secondary porosity development and migration of the mineralizing fluids in the Saale subbasin.

description: Bacillus sp. DL-1 was isolated from the deep sea of the Western Pacific Ocean and behaved very good resistance to NaCl. The extracellular proteases of Bacillus sp. DL-1 were found to exhibit excellent enantioselectivity for the kinetic resolution of (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate. To improve the stability of the enzyme, the immobilized extracellular proteases were preparated by using 60 g kieselguhr and 1-L crude fermentation broth containing extracellular proteases of Bacillus sp. DL-1, shaking at 25 °C, 200 r/min for 10 h. Every gram of kieselguhr adsorbed 25.7 mg extracellular protease and the enzymatic activity recovery was 79.86%. The immobilized proteases preserved about 35.8% of its activity after 6 repeated uses, which were also used as biocatalyst to asymmetrically hydrolyse (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate for the preparation of (R)-1-phenylethanol and (S)-1-phenylethyl acetate with high optical purities. The effects of pH, temperature, enzyme concentration, substrate concentration, reaction time and additives (metal ions/surfactants) on the resolution were investigated by single factor experiments. Under the optimal reaction conditions (10 mM (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate, 40 mg/mL immobilized extracellular proteases, pH 7.5 (Tris-HCl), 5% (v/v) methanol and 45 °C for 2 h), (R)-1-phenylethanol was generated with the e.e.p being > 97%, and the yield being 53%, respectively. Analogously, under the optimal reaction conditions (10-mM (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate, 360 mg/mL immobilized extracellular proteases, pH 6.0 (PB), 5% (v/v) DMSO and 35 °C for 1.5 h), (S)-1-phenylethyl acetate was generated with the e.e.s being over 99% and the yield being 79%, respectively. Compared with the extracellular proteases from Bacillus sp. DL-2, the immobilized extracellular proteases from Bacillus sp. DL-1 exhibited higher hydrolytic activity and could asymmetrically hydrolyse (±)-1-phenylethyl acetate by using higher substrate concentrations, shorter reaction times to obtain higher yields. Notably, the extracellular proteases of Bacillus sp. DL-1 were demonstrated to behave the same enantio-preference as those of most other reported esterases/lipases. Proteases from deep-sea Bacillus sp. DL-1 are promising biocatalysts for the synthesis of valuable chiral chemicals.

description: The stellar initial mass function (IMF) describes the distribution in stellar masses produced from a burst of star formation. For more than fifty years, the implicit assumption underpinning most areas of research involving the IMF has been that it is universal, regardless of time and environment. We measure the high-mass IMF slope for a sample of low-to-moderate redshift galaxies from the Galaxy And Mass Assembly survey. The large range in luminosities and galaxy masses of the sample permits the exploration of underlying IMF dependencies. A strong IMF-star formation rate dependency is discovered, which shows that highly star forming galaxies form proportionally more massive stars (they have IMFs with flatter power-law slopes) than galaxies with low star formation rates. This has a significant impact on a wide variety of galaxy evolution studies, all of which rely on assumptions about the slope of the IMF. Our result is supported by, and provides an explanation for, the results of numerous recent explorations suggesting a variation of or evolution in the IMF.

description:
The climax of the 2021-2022 eruption of Hunga Volcano (also called Hunga Tonga – Hunga Ha’apai) on the 15th January 2022 was the most explosive volcanic eruption this century. The eruption generated pressure waves that travelled around the planet multiple times, ash clouds that reached the mesosphere, tsunamis with run-ups over 10 m and severed the subsea telecommunication cables that connected the Kingdom of Tonga to the rest of the world.

Hunga Volcano, 70 km offshore from Tongatapu, is an almost entirely submerged caldera volcano. The 2023 eruption was the most explosive in recent history, and resulted in substantial modification to the seafloor. By comparing bathymetric datasets from before the eruption with datasets acquired by this team and autonomous vehicles in the months immediately after the event, we are able to identify the impacts of the eruption on the seafloor and the processes that caused the damage to the cables and, by combining this with auxiliary datasets, provide new constraints on the speed and dynamics of volcanic triggered submarine flows.

The eruption deepened the caldera floor by 800 m, with a loss of > 6 km3 of material, while high energy submarine density flows, focussed into gullies, caused upwards of 90 m of erosion higher up the flanks and deposited large lobes of material at the bases of them. These flows travelled hundreds of kilometres from the volcano at some of the fastest speeds ever measured for submarine density flows and were responsible for the damage to the subsea cables.

The Einstein-Telescope (ET), a next-generation gravitational wave-detector, is a triangular shape underground facility with 10 kilometres long arms to be constructed at a depth of 200-300 meters below surface. A potential location is the Meuse-Rhine Euroregion. The success of such mega-project requires a comprehensive understanding of regional geology in terms of lithology, lithological variations and dominant structures. A solid regional geology study, combining literature review, reconnaissance study, surface and subsurface mapping, sample collection, geophysical data collection, and remote sensing methods to identify the rock units and structures present, is part of assessing the feasibility of the area. The lithology consists of soft Upper Cretaceous sediments resting unconformable on Silesian, Dinantian and Famennian units. The Dinantian carbonates and the Famennian sandstones are the preferred target units for the cavern construction. A major goal is to understand the spatial distribution of the different rock units that may be encountered during construction of caverns and tunnel. Structurally, the region shows a complex pattern of NE- SW striking Variscan folds and thrusts and (N)NW –(S)SE striking faults linked to the Lower Rhine Embayment. Changes in the lithology due to folds and thrust are important in terms of tunnel planning. The (N)NW – (S)SE structures provide pathways for fluids and are potentially seismic active and hence may affect the construction and the operation of the ET severely. Understanding the regional geology allows for optimization of the location and orientation of the ET infrastructure and identifies the potential impacts during construction and operation of the ET.

description:
Continuous limnic archives may record millions of years of climatic and environmental change at their locality. Typically, such archives reflect environmental conditions in the lakes’ catchments, but also the imprint of large-scale atmospheric systems e.g. related to insolation and/or global ice-sheet dynamics. These parameters may vary considerably in space and time, and our understanding on patterns across continents that relate to this forcing is still incomplete. Comparing sedimentation rates from limnic archives covering fundamental changes in the Earth’s system like the Mid-Pleistocene transition (change from 41kyr to 100kyr cycle world) has potential to shed light into spatial differences in Earth’s climate response, if applied carefully.

To better understand the sedimentation history of lakes, and especially their reaction to climate transitions, we compare sedimentation rates from lakes. In a second step, we systematically align several records to facilitate best comparability. We focus on limnic records that have been investigated during ICDP projects, and specifically assess the influence of the Mid-Pleistocene transition and the Mid-Brunhes transition on sedimentation rates.

description: Traditional security architectures use a perimeter-based security model where everything internal to the corporate network is trusted by default. This type of architecture was designed to protect static servers and endpoints; however, we need to adapt to emerging technologies where serverless applications are running on containers, mobile endpoints, IoT, and cyber-physical systems. Since the beginning of the fourth industrial revolution (Industry 4.0), there has been a massive investment in smart manufacturing which responds in real-time to the supply chain and connects the digital and physical environments using IoT, cloud computing, and data analytics. The zero-trust security model is a concept of implementing cybersecurity techniques considering all networks andhosts to be hostile irrespective of their location. Over the past few years, this model has proven to be a remarkably effective security solution in conventional networks and devices. In this paper, the zero-trust approach will be fully explored and documented explaining its principles, architecture, and implementation procedure. It will also include a background of the smart manufacturing industry and a review of the existing cyber security solutions followed by a proposed design of the zero-trust model along with all the enabling factors for on-premises and cloud-hosted infrastructure. Various security solutions such as micro-segmentation of the industrial network, device discovery, and compliance management tools that are essential in achieving complete zero-trust security are considered in the proposed architecture.
Scorching irony : anti-hypocrisy in antebellum U.S. literature
Creators: name: Stensrud, Craig Paul
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Scorching Irony: Anti-Hypocrisy in U.S. Antebellum fiction argues that hypocrisy served as a key heuristic for those on all sides of the U.S. slavery debates as they navigated and negotiated their positions in antebellum society’s racial capitalist economy and liberal political order. Accusations of hypocrisy flooded the U.S. public sphere during the 1840s and 50s, but previous scholars have generally ignored these exchanges, which can seem nothing more than distracting noise. I demonstrate, however, that anti-hypocritical discourse enabled important negotiations of political solidarity, agency, and responsibility. The period under study witnessed rapid capitalist development, accelerated by slavery, which disrupted the traditional ways that white Americans conceived social relations. The national economy’s increasing dependence on slavery challenged faith in the liberal subject’s autonomy and agency. At the same time, racialization enabled relationships of domination necessary for economic exploitation, creating subject positions that overdetermined established class distinctions. Hypocrisy discourse registers responses to these rapid changes. I look to this discourse’s refraction in the period’s literary productions, where authors both participated in the cultural exchange of accusation and reflected upon it through experiments with ironic modes of address that explored hypocrisy within the microcosmic relationship between text and reader. In chapter one, I read the work of Henry David Thoreau alongside white liberal abolitionists to explore their various attempts to extricate themselves from hypocritical complicity in slavery by aspiring to a personal purity through boycott and withdrawal—without, however, mounting a challenge to the racial capitalist system. In chapter two, I read the ironic innovations of William Wells Brown’s novel Clotel in the context of a Black rhetorical tradition that used hypocrisy accusations to expose and critique slavery and other modes of economic exploitation, treating hypocrisy as an index of material relations rather than an issue of individual morality. In chapter three, I argue that Herman Melville’s novel The Confidence-Man reflects a cultural exhaustion with the exposure of hypocrisy, as suspicion gives way to cynicism as the dominant attitude toward hypocritical inconsistency. Finally, in the conclusion, I briefly explore the afterlife of antebellum anti-hypocritical discourse through the Civil War and into the present.
title: Ecohydrological partitioning through the critical zone drives groundwater recharge: an isotopic approach
Creators: name: Tetzlaff, Doerthe

description:
In times of accelerated global change, integrated tools are urgently needed that allow process-based, quantitative assessment of how climatic drivers interact with land cover, soil water conditions and hydrogeology to control the inter-relationships between water fluxes and storage in the Critical Zone (CZ). These dynamic relationships determine the availability and quality of water resources during droughts at multiple spatial and temporal scales. This talk will present approaches to investigate the relationships between water fluxes through and storage in the CZ, together with the associated water ages and residence times. The focus will be on groundwater recharge, as groundwater levels have been dramatically affected by the recent extreme droughts in large parts of Central Europe. Multiple ecohydrological processes and transformations within the CZ are influencing groundwater recharge by partitioning incoming precipitation into green (i.e. evaporation and transpiration) and blue (i.e. groundwater recharge and streamflow generation) water fluxes.

Water stable isotopes help to constrain ecohydrological process understanding in the CZ. Incorporating isotopes into tracer-aided ecohydrological models allows water flux, storage and age dynamics to be quantified in both plot und catchment scale modelling. Using such novel analysis of the spatio-temporal interactions of water flux-storage-ages in the CZ improves understanding of the sensitivity and resilience of catchment functionality to hydroclimatic perturbations, and provides science-based evidence on which land management techniques have the potential to modify green water fluxes and to conserve soil water storage, to guide decision-making and build resilience to future droughts.

description:
Burko is a nephelinitic volcano in the Gregory Rift of the East African Rift System (EARS), situated in northern Tanzania. The rocks are olivine-free and phonolitic nephelinites, deposited as tuffs, agglomerates and lavas that frequently contain plutonic inclusions. Based on geochemical data, a carbonatite-metasomatized mantle source has been assumed for these rocks (Mana et al., 2015).

We present a detailed mineralogical and petrological study of the variably evolved Burko rocks (whole-rock Mg numbers <50), which contain either nepheline + Fe-Ti oxide + perovskite + diopsidic pyroxene or nepheline + Fe-Ti garnet + titanite + hedenbergitic pyroxene ± alkali feldspar assemblages. Such an evolution of relatively oxidized and strongly SiO2-undersaturated alkaline magmas towards peralkaline compositions may be a common process and is probably controlled by T-aSiO2-fO2 changes. Based on a comparison with spatially associated nephelinitic volcanos like Sadiman and Ol Doinyo Lengai, we discuss similarities and differences in their genesis.

An investigation of the role of pharmacogenetics in the development and prevention of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity
Creators: name: Hasbullah, Jafar S.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2024

description: Anthracyclines (e.g., doxorubicin) are effective chemotherapeutics used to treat a broad-spectrum of childhood and adult cancers. However, the clinical utility of anthracyclines is considerably limited by anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity (ACT). ACT remains a significant burden in the clinic, where >50% of patients receiving anthracyclines experience some degree of ACT, initially presenting as left ventricular dysfunction, and up to 16% of patients develop heart failure. Advancements in patient genetics show substantial promise as a predictive measure of ACT. The gene variants RARG-rs2229774, UGT1A6-rs17863783, and SLC28A3-rs7853758 have the strongest evidence for association with ACT in anthracycline-treated patients. First, this thesis aimed to understand the scope of genetics, focusing on the proposed roles of genes RARG, UGT1A6, and SLC28A3 in the development and prevention of ACT. Second, I investigated the roles of UGT1A6 and RARG in the development of ACT using cellular models. The research replicated the ACT susceptibility of the UGT1A6 locus using a cellular model (HEK293) of doxorubicin-induced cytotoxicity. Further, I identified that ligand-mediated activation of RARG, using all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and CD1530, significantly increases the cell viability of H9c2 cardiomyoblasts. Lastly, I evaluated the efficacy of ATRA in preventing the development of cardiotoxicity using a human cardiomyocyte and a mouse model of ACT. In human cardiomyocytes, ATRA enhanced cell survival during doxorubicin exposure. The protective effect of ATRA was also observed in a mouse model (B6C3F1/J) of ACT, in which ATRA treatment improved heart function of doxorubicin-treated mice. Histological analyses also indicated that ATRA treatment reduced the pathology associated with ACT. Further, in human cardiomyocytes, ATRA induces the gene expression of retinoic acid receptors (RARG, RARB), while repressing topoisomerase-II enzyme genes (TOP2A, TOP2B), which encode for the molecular targets of anthracyclines, and repressed downstream ACT response genes. This mechanism partially explains the protective effect of ATRA and why patients presenting with dysregulation of this pathway may be susceptible to ACT. Overall, the work performed in this thesis shows that gene variants that modify ACT risk belong to critical biological pathways of ACT. Further, these molecular mechanisms also provide a unique opportunity to develop safe and effective interventions to mitigate ACT.

description:
The Cenozoic of Borneo consists of thick clastic sedimentary rocks that were deposited in various fluvial-lacustrine, shallow marine and deep-marine settings. From the Eocene onwards, the sedimentary successions play an important economic role. Onshore, Eocene sediments comprise coal seams of commercial interest, while Miocene deposits offshore are important hydrocarbon reservoirs. In principle there are two main sediment sources that have contributed to the successions. The Cretaceous arc-related Schwaner Mountains in the south of the island, and the Triassic tin belt granites from the Malay Peninsula. Characteristic detrital zircon U-Pb ages and heavy mineral signatures reveal a change of these sources through time, related to major tectonic developments, such as the opening of the South China Sea. The Miri Zone in NW Borneo consists of Eocene turbidites of the Rajang Group, unconformably overlain by tidally-influenced delta deposits of the Oligocene Nyalau Formation. The Rajang Group turbidites overall reveal a provenance related to the Schwaner Mountains, while the Nyalau Formation indicates a Malay tin belt source, bypassing southern Borneo. The Miocene deposits of the Baram Delta form the youngest successions of the Miri Zone, and comprise fluvial, tidal, deltaic and shallow marine deposits. They are the analogue for the hydrocarbon reservoir offshore Brunei and northern Sarawak. In contrast to the underlying Nyalau Formation, the Baram successions were sourced directly from uplifted Rajang Group tubidites from the interior of Borneo. Thus, studying compositional variations and provenance characteristics help to understand sources and sedimentary routing pathways.
Investigating the X-ray emission from the massive WR+O binary WR 22 using 3D hydrodynamical models

description: We examine the dependence of the wind-wind collision and subsequent X-ray emission from the massive WR+O star binary WR~22 on the acceleration of the stellar winds, radiative cooling, and orbital motion. Simulations were performed with instantaneously accelerated and radiatively driven stellar winds. Radiative transfer calculations were performed on the simulation output to generate synthetic X-ray data, which are used to conduct a detailed comparison against observations. When instantaneously accelerated stellar winds are adopted in the simulation, a stable wind-wind collision region (WCR) is established at all orbital phases. In contrast, when the stellar winds are radiatively driven, and thus the acceleration regions of the winds are accounted for, the WCR is far more unstable. As the stars approach periastron, the ram pressure of the WR's wind overwhelms the O star's and, following a significant disruption of the shocks by non-linear thin-shell instabilities (NTSIs), the WCR collapses onto the O star. X-ray calculations reveal that when a stable WCR exists the models over-predict the observed X-ray flux by more than two orders of magnitude. The collapse of the WCR onto the O star substantially reduces the discrepancy in the $2-10\;$keV flux to a factor of $\simeq 6$ at $ϕ=0.994$. However, the observed spectrum is not well matched by the models. We conclude that the agreement between the models and observations could be improved by increasing the ratio of the mass-loss rates in favour of the WR star to the extent that a normal wind ram pressure balance does not occur at any orbital phase, potentially leading to a sustained collapse of the WCR onto the O star. Radiative braking may then play a significant rôle for the WCR dynamics and resulting X-ray emission.

description:
Alkaline igneous rocks are known to host a variety of rare metal deposits, including HFSEs and REEs. The Iivaara alkaline complex (Finland) and the surrounding fenite aureole show Ti-dominated enrichment of HFSEs carried by titanite and apatite. Mineralogy and textural observation indicate a shallow intrusion level, fast cooling, and steep temperature gradients, as well as expulsion of different fluids. So far, the roles of different fluids in rare metal enrichment in such systems have not been fully understood. New results of a fluid inclusion (FI) study including FI petrography, microthermometry, phase identification using Raman spectroscopy, and quantification of elements by LA-ICP-MS reveal the fluid evolution in the Iivaara alkaline complex. Three stages can be distinguished: magmatic fluid, post-magmatic fluid, and late aqueous fluid. Magmatic fluid is characterized by relatively high salinity, with a dominance of methane in the vapor phase. This fluid type is responsible for the fenitization process as well as transporting some important elements and metals like HFSEs and REEs. The post-magmatic fluid is characterized by relatively low salinity with very low to no methane concentration in the vapor phase. This fluid is responsible for recrystallization of some minerals, especially apatite and the formation of cancrinite as a replacement mineral and as a vein. And the last fluid is an aqueous fluid which is very low in salinity, interpreted as meteoric water influx at the very late stage.

description:
The tropics have the potential to capture large amounts of CO2 through enhanced weathering of mafic rocks. This negative emissions technology can be articulated with the needs of the agricultural sector, in particular the large irrigated tropical cropland in the tropics. High-yield agricultural soils in the tropics are acidic. Their acidity is traditionally controlled with lime, which in turn emits  CO2. Crushed mafic rocks can be used instead of lime, with the added benefit of not only avoiding the lime emissions, but also capturing CO2. In tropical Colombia, there are extensive plantations of African oil palm, sugar cane, rice, banana, and corn. Nearby, there are large open-cast mining operations that produce massive volumes of mafic and ultramafic rocks as waste product. We are characterizing mafic and ultramafic rocks closest to the potential application sites, as well as the products of their weathering under natural conditions. We are also conducting field experiments with natural soils from areas of active afforestation, as well as in soils degraded by cattle ranching. Both were previously covered by rain forests. In these experiments we are evaluating the reaction rates and efficiencies of mafic and ultramafic rocks under tropical conditions in natural soils. We aim to establish the technical and scientific basis for a process by which the forestry, mining, agricultural, and energy industries in the tropics can reduce their operational carbon footprint, and eventually offer carbon capture bonds in the international market.

description: In this paper we present a self consistent theoretical approach for the calculation of the Survival Probability for central dijet production . These calculations are performed in a model of high energy soft interactions based on two ingredients:(i) the results of N=4 SYM, which at the moment is the only theory that is able to deal with a large coupling constant; and (ii) the required matching with high energy QCD. Assuming, in accordance with these prerequisites, that soft Pomeron intercept is rather large and the slope of the Pomeron trajectory is equal to zero, we derive analytical formulae that sum both enhanced and semi-enhanced diagrams for elastic and diffractive amplitudes. Using parameters obtained from a fit to the available experimental data, we calculate the Survival Probability for central dijet production at energies accessible at the LHC. The results presented here which include the contribution of semi-enhanced and net diagrams, are considerably larger than our previous estimates.

Global warming is the greatest threat for humankind today. Despite all efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, the undertaken measures are not sufficient to stop the temperature rise. One recently proposed and promising approach to actively remove CO2 from the atmosphere is carbon dioxide removal through marine alkalinity enhancement. This technique increase the natural CO2 uptake capacity of seawater through weathering of fine-grained alkaline minerals in marine environments. Even through this method has been extensively tested and verified by numerical models, field experiments scaling the CO2 uptake under natural conditions and assessing the impact on the environment and biota are still lacking. To bridge this gap of knowledge a monitored 2-year in-situ experiment was established in September 2022 at the Ria Formosa Coastal Lagoon, southern Portugal.

The experiment was installed in the pioneer vegetation zone of the saltmarsh with three replicate plots.  Each plot contain deployments of coarse olivine, fine olivine, coarse basalt and fine basalt and an unchanged area as control. Supernatant and porewater from each treatment are analysed monthly for temperature, salinity, oxygen concentration, pH, total alkalinity, nutrients, and trace metals. Sediment samples are analysed quarterly for faunal and floral composition to evaluate the impact on the biota.

The first  months of the experiment showed an increase in total alkalinity in the supernatant and porewater of the treatments. Other environmental parameters remained stable among the different treatments and control. The total alkalinity decreased through time although remained on higher levels as compared to the natural background level.

description: We study mutual information for Renyi entropy of arbitrary index n, in interacting quantum systems at finite-temperature critical points, using high-temperature expansion, quantum Monte Carlo simulations and scaling theory. We find that for n>1, the critical behavior is manifest at two temperatures T_c and n*T_c. For the XXZ model with Ising anisotropy, the coefficient of the area-law has a t*ln(t) singularity, whereas the subleading correction from corners has a logarithmic divergence, with a coefficient related to the exact results of Cardy and Peschel.

description:
We reassess the architecture and tectonic history of the Western Alps based on recent knowledge developed at rifted margins. First, we replace the main Alpine units of our study area into a synthetic rifted margin template based on diagnostic petrologic, stratigraphic, and structural criteria. We find that some units previously attributed to the internal part of the thick-crusted Briançonnais domain may rather derive from the thin-crusted Prepiemonte hyperextended domain. We assert that the Briançonnais and Prepiemonte domains were separated by a mega-fault scarp. Second, we revisit the Paleogeography of the Alpine Tethys, suggesting that the Briançonnais was a ribbon of little thinned continental crust between two overstepping en-échelon rift basins, namely the Valais domain to the northwest and the Piemonte domain to the southeast. We affirm that this uneven-margin architecture can explain most of the Western Alps’ complexity. In our kinematic model, convergence between Adria and Europe was mainly accommodated by strike-slip movements in the Western Alps until the late Eocene. Orogeny began with the reactivation of the mega-fault scarp between the Briançonnais and Prepiemonte domains, which we name Prepiemonte Basal Thrust. Once hard collision started, the main shortening stepped inboard into the Valais/Subbriançonnais domain along the Penninic Basal Thrust.

description: Interregional interaction long has been a central theme in Ecuadorian archaeology. However, outside of a few studies from late prehispanic contexts, little evidence of craft production has been identified, with limited examples that relate to long-distance exchange. Excavations at Las Orquídeas, a Late Formative (800 – 400 cal BC) site located on the outskirts of the modern city of Ibarra, have recovered the most diverse array of crafting activities in prehispanic Ecuador. We present the first detailed examination of 278 m2 of excavations, documented contexts, and some important artifact classes (ceramics, obsidian, malacological remains) since our doctoral dissertations. We argue that the first millennium BC inhabitants of Las Orquídeas participated in a long-distance network that involved important social events in which exotic jewelry was exchanged. The population at Las Orquídeas obtained unworked non-local raw materials to craft distinctive jewelry and participate in the network.

description:
The groundwater is a main issue in sustainable development of the Sinai Peninsula, Egypt. Because of extensive groundwater abstraction, the Quaternary coastal aquifer system in the study area is now facing a serious salt water intrusion problem. Seleem (1996) has developed a saltwater intrusion numerical model by using MOCDENCE software which is developed by Sanford & Kinikow (1985). He found that the saltwater intrusion increases the salinity of groundwater in the wells over time. The isohytal map of Sinai Peninsula also shows that the isohyetal contour lines increase towards the northern direction in the Northern Province of Sinai peninsula where the annual rainfall rate is 104.7 mm/year at El-Arish station and 304.1 mm/year at Rafah station.

In the presented study, we suggest a network of rainfall harvesting units to collect the amount of high intensity rainfall water from the cities in the study area. The harvested rainfall water could be injected in the frame of a managed aquifer recharge (MAR) project into the calcareous sandstone (Kurkar) aquifer to attenuate the salinity of this aquifer and to prevent the progress of freshwater-saltwater interface.

For the suggested scenario, the SEAWAT software is applied to simulate the three dimensional variable density groundwater flow and solute-transport in the Quaternary aquifer system in the northern Sinai, Egypt. SEAWAT was developed by the USGS based on MODFLOW and MT3DMS packages. The numerical study with the SEAWAT software allows to investigate the potential impact of MAR on the movement of freshwater-saltwater interface in the study area.
