description: The Ofanto basin is a Pliocene–Pleistocene thrust-top basin that formed with an unusual east–west orientation along the frontal part of the Southern Apennine Allochthon during the latest stages of tectonic transport. Its tectonic and sedimentary evolution was studied integrating field surveys, biostratigraphic analyses and the interpretation of a large seismic grid. Well data and seismic interpretation indicate that a large east–west-trending normal fault underlies the northern margin of the basin, displacing the Apulian carbonates that form the foreland and the footwall of the Southern Apennine Allochthon. In our reconstruction the Ofanto basin formed at the rear of the bulge caused by buttressing of the Southern Apennine Allochthon against this normal fault. In a second stage of contraction, the footwall of the Southern Apennine Allochthon was involved in deformation with a different trend from the normal faulting and buttressing. This caused eastward tilting of the basin and broad folding around its eastern termination. Good stratigraphic constraints permit the age of buttressing to be defined as Early Pliocene, and that of the shortening in the Apulian carbonates as Early Pleistocene. This study highlights the importance of early orogenic normal faults in conditioning the evolution of the frontal parts of orogenic wedges.

description: Introduction. Risky alcohol consumption (RAC) and heavy episodic drinking (HED) by parents can have negative effects on their children. At present, little is known about these forms of alcohol consumption among parents in Germany. The aim of this analysis is to estimate the percentage of parents living in Germany who practise RAC and HED and to study associations between these consumption patterns and sociodemographic factors. Material and Methods. The data basis comprises the data of the nationwide studies “Gesundheit in Deutschland aktuell” (GEDA) of 2009, 2010, and 2012. The data were collected by means of computer-assisted telephone interviews (CATI). Our analysis included all participants living in a household with at least one child of their own under 18 years of age (n = 16,224). Information on RAC and HED was collected using the AUDIT-C screening instrument. Logistic regression models were used to study the relationship between parental alcohol consumption and sociodemographic variables. Results. 18.4% of the mothers and 29.6% of the fathers exhibited RAC; 8.4% of the mothers and 21.0% of the fathers practised HED. After mutual adjustment, RAC showed a significant association with the level of education, income (only mothers), employment status (only mothers), migration background, relationship status (only mothers), and the age of the youngest child. HED showed a significant association with income (only mothers), the age of the youngest child (only mothers), and the level of education (only fathers). Conclusions. The presented analysis emphasizes the relevance of preventive measures to reduce parental alcohol consumption. In addition to universal interventions, risk group-specific measures (e.g., for parents with high income) are needed to reduce parental alcohol consumption and thus support a healthy development of children.

description: We present a palynological study of a terrestrial Triassic–Jurassic (Tr–J; c. 200 Ma) boundary section at Astartekløft, East Greenland. We have generated a new palynostratigraphic scheme and vegetation history for this locality, and have integrated these with existing carbon isotope records. Samples for palynological analysis were collected from precisely the same stratigraphic horizons as plant macrofossils and samples used for geochemical analyses. Our results highlight four local sporomorph assemblage zones that are compositionally distinct from each other at Astartekløft. The extremely low abundance of Classopollis pollen in all samples, and the pronounced decline of Ricciisporites tuberculatus during the Late Rhaetian are notable features of the sporomorph record of Tr–J vegetation at Astartekløft. Correlation of Astartekløft and a marine Tr–J boundary section at St Audrie’s Bay, UK, provides no support for the idea that extinction and diversity loss in terrestrial ecosystems preceded biotic change in marine ecosystems at the Tr–J. Instead, the available data support suggestions that the onset of the Tr–J biotic crisis was synchronous in terrestrial and marine environments. Peak extinction among plants at Astartekløft occurred relatively late in the sequence of events across the Tr–J, and may represent a response to long-term cumulative effects of volcanism at this time.

description: The nature, structure and extent of a palaeo-basin sedimentary infill exposed in the Aran valley (Central Pyrenees) was studied by combining stratigraphical and biostratigraphical analyses and an audio-magnetotelluric survey. The basin developed on top of a pre-existing peneplain and was formed by the North Maladeta Fault activity. The fluvio-palustrine sequence filling the basin was at least 100 m thick. Specimens of the taxon Hippuris cf. parvicarpa Nikitin were identified for the first time in a European palaeoflora. The palynological and carpological analyses allowed us to (1) constrain the age of the basin infill as Vallesian (11.1–8.7 Ma), (2) characterize the vegetation of the belt surrounding the basin as a mainly temperate to warm-temperate assemblage, and (3) estimate the palaeoaltitude of the site at between 700 and 1000 m, which leads to an altitude change of 900–1200 m for the North Maladeta Fault downthrown block and 1640–1640 m for the upthrown block. These data allowed us to estimate the regional uplift of the area at between 0.08 and 0.19 mm a−1. The different exhumation values obtained by other researchers for sites located at both sides of the North Maladeta Fault are in agreement with its activity as a normal fault since the Late Miocene.

description: Electronic band structures of single-crystal and single-layer WS₂ are investigated by first-principles calculations based on local-density-functional theory using a plane-wave basis with ultrasoft pseudopotentials. The band structure calculated for the single crystal corresponds very well with experimental data and recent calculations using an augmented-spherical wave basis [A. Klein et al., Phys. Rev. B 64, 205416 (2001)]. The calculations for the single layer show that compared to the bulk case no significant structural relaxations of the atomic positions occur. This result is confirmed by the good agreement of our calculated band structures for the single layer with the data from angle-resolved photoemission measurements.

description: In virtù della sua posizione centrale nel Mediterraneo occidentale, la Sardegna costituisce una regione cruciale per la comprensione del processo di neolitizzazione e dell’evoluzione delle culture neolitiche nell’area nord-tirrenica. Nel pieno sviluppo dell’economia di produzione sull’isola, un ruolo fondamentale è svolto dai gruppi umani del Neolitico Medio B (4500-4000 cal BC), dei quali le produzioni materiali più distintive sono le ceramiche denominate ‘San Ciriaco’.

In questo lavoro, si propone una nuova lettura e definizione delle produzioni fittili ‘San Ciriaco’, fondata sull’analisi morfotipologica, morfometrica, tecnologica, stilistica e funzionale dei complessi ceramici rinvenuti nei siti della Sardegna centro-occidentale e sulla revisione critica dei dati disponibili nella letteratura scientifica. Questa ricerca offre un contributo alla conoscenza delle comunità umane artefici delle innovazioni tecniche e culturali che contraddistinsero l’isola nel più ampio scenario del Mediterraneo occidentale durante la seconda metà del V millennio cal BC.

description: The markedly cyclic sedimentary successions of four late Pliocene to early Pleistocene slope turbidite systems exposed in eastern central Italy have been resolved into 31 high-frequency sequences. Chronological constraints from biostratigraphy and magnetostratigraphy indicate that these successions form a composite, partially overlapping stratigraphic record and sequence-bounding surfaces can be convincingly correlated with glacial oxygen isotope stages G2–60 (c. 2.65–1.7 Ma) inclusive. The studied successions, therefore, preserve an extraordinary and legible record of recurring, orbitally dictated glacio-eustatic sea-level fluctuations and provide an unprecedented opportunity to examine the deep-water sedimentary response to such high-frequency changes from an outcrop perspective.

subject: FOS: Earth and related environmental sciences

description: Two-dimensional seismic reflection data from offshore southern Australia image a series of 2–13 km wide by 50–800 m high, sub-circular, Middle Eocene age mounds. The majority of the mounds occur above tips of igneous bodies intruded into the underlying Upper Cretaceous succession. The mounds are interpreted as the seismic expression of submarine volcanic vents, which are amongst the largest and oldest examples ever documented. These vents are pristine and have been preserved because of their submarine environment of emplacement and burial in a post-eruption, sediment drape.

description: Mafic granulites of the Dunhuang block, eastern Tarim Craton, record high-pressure granulite-facies metamorphism followed by a medium- to low-pressure granulite-facies metamorphic overprint, suggesting a clockwise P–T path and implying an environment of collisional orogenesis. Zircon U–Pb ages of two samples are 1834 ± 12 Ma and 1842 ± 5 Ma. Mineral inclusions in zircon indicate that these ages record the high-pressure granulite-facies event, suggesting that the Tarim Craton may be related to the c. 1.85 Ga assembly of the Columbia supercontinent. Similar c. 1.85 Ga metamorphism in both the Dunhuang block and the Alxa block of the North China Craton supports their correlation across the Altyn Tagh fault.

description: The nature of the southern margin of the Anatolian microplate during the Neogene is complex, controversial and fundamental in understanding active plate-margin tectonics and natural hazards in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Our investigation provides new insights into the Late Pleistocene uplift history of Cyprus and the Troodos Ophiolite. We provide isotopic (14C) and radiogenic (luminescence) dates of outcropping marine sediments in eastern Cyprus that identify periods of deposition during marine isotope stages (MIS) 3, 4, 5 and 6. Past sea-levels indicated by these deposits are c. 95±25 m higher in elevation than estimates of worldwide eustatic sea-level. An uplift rate of c. 1.8 mm/year and possibly as much as c. 4.1 mm/year in the past c. 26–40 ka is indicated. Holocene marine deposits also occur at elevations higher than those expected for past SL and suggest uplift rates of c. 1.2–2.1 mm/year. MIS-3 marine deposits that crop out in southern and western Cyprus indicate uniform island-wide uplift. We propose a model of tectonic wedging at a plate-bounding restraining bend as a mechanism for Late Pleistocene to Holocene uplift of Cyprus; uplift is accommodated by deformation and seismicity along the margins of the Troodos Ophiolite and re-activation of its low-angle, basal shear zone.

description: A new assemblage of frondose and filamentous Ediacaran macrofossils is reported from the upper Drook Formation of Pigeon Cove, Newfoundland. The frondose forms, all less than 3 cm in length, are considered to represent the juvenile growth stages of Ediacaran organisms including Charnia spp. and Trepassia spp. This is the first report of an assemblage wholly dominated by such small juvenile rangeomorph forms, and provides insights into the ontogeny and ecology of these earliest members of the Ediacara biota. The fronds occur alongside filamentous forms with similarities to microbial taxa, and both morphotypes are considered to postdate an assemblage of large ivesheadiomorphs on the same bedding plane. If so, the assemblage represents one of the oldest documented examples of secondary community succession. The new Pigeon Cove fossils also extend the stratigraphic ranges of several key frondose taxa (Charnia masoni, Charniodiscus spp.) back into some of the oldest known macrofossil-bearing strata. These revised ranges lend support to the suggestion that the previously observed low diversity within the Drook Formation may represent a combination of taphonomic and sampling artefacts. Furthermore, this assemblage implies that the diversification of architectural morphotypes within the Ediacara biota took place earlier than hitherto suspected.

description: Regionally constrained 3D gravity inversion results on the Orphan Basin–Flemish Cap and the Irish Atlantic conjugate continental margins are compared to investigate crustal structure, early rifting history and geological evolution of this part of the North Atlantic. The full-crustal density anomaly distributions provide some of the first depth images of how rifted structures compare along and across these conjugate margins. Broad similarities in crustal structure are identified with some noticeable differences, linked to rifting and crustal stretching processes. Extreme crustal thinning (stretching factors >3.5) is indicated beneath much of the southern Porcupine Basin, the western half of West Orphan Basin, the eastern half of Jeanne d’Arc Basin, the southeastern half of East Orphan Basin and in pockets beneath Rockall Basin. This appears to have resulted in the serpentinization (and possible exhumation) of mantle lithosphere on the Irish Atlantic and Flemish Cap margins but not beneath Orphan Basin. A simple evolution model is proposed for the early stages of rifting between the margins. It is suggested that ancient orogenic sutures played an important role in controlling the northward migration of rifting and the rotation and displacement of Flemish Cap out of Orphan Basin.

description: Background: Dietary protein and amino acid intake and composition can modulate immune function. Objectives: To evaluate the effects of high‐protein intake and arginine and ornithine supplementation on feline immune cells. Animals: Ten healthy cats. Methods: Experimental study. Cats received a high‐protein basal diet as a single daily meal. A crossover design was applied with treatments being basal diet (w/o); basal diet with arginine supplementation (+50, 75, 100% compared to the arginine provision by the basal diet; Arg 1‐3); and basal diet with ornithine supplementation (+100, 150, 200% compared to the arginine provision by the basal diet; Orn 1‐3). Blood samples were collected at the end of each 11‐day treatment period. Results: Mitogen‐stimulated proliferative activity of blood leukocytes revealed a quadratic effect for the dietary supplementation of arginine (P = .02) and ornithine (P = .03) (means for ConA‐stimulation: w/o = 6.96; Arg 1 = 9.31; Arg 2 = 11.4; Arg 3 = 8.04; Orn 1 = 15.4; Orn 2 = 9.43; Orn 3 = 9.28; pooled SEM: 0.96). The number (% gated) of phagocytic granulocytes linearly decreased with increasing dietary concentrations of arginine (P = .05) and ornithine (P = .03) (means: w/o = 95.5; Arg 1 = 93.0; Arg 2 = 92.5; Arg 3 = 92.6; Orn 1 = 92.6; Orn 2 = 92.6; Orn 3 = 91.5; pooled SEM = 0.44). Conclusions and Clinical Importance: This study could demonstrate immunomodulating properties of dietary arginine and ornithine in cats.

name: Albe, Karsten
Publisher: name: American Physical Society
Year: 2022

description: The nature of the band gap of indium oxide is still a matter of debate. Based on optical measurements the presence of an indirect band gap has been suggested, which is 0.9 to 1.1eV smaller than the direct band gap at the Γ point. This could be caused by strong mixing of O 2p and In 4d orbitals off Γ. We have performed extensive density functional theory calculations using the LDA+U and the GGA+U methods to elucidate the contribution of the In 4d states and the effect of spin-orbit coupling on the valence band structure. Although an indirect band gap is obtained, the energy difference between the overall valence band maximum and the highest occupied level at the Γ point is less than 50 meV. It is concluded that the experimental observation cannot be related to the electronic structure of the defect free bulk material.

description: Overpressure within a circular magmatic chamber embedded in an elastic half space is a widely used model in volcanology. However, this overpressure is generally assumed to be bounded by the bedrock tensile strength since gravity is neglected. Critical overpressure for wall failure is thus greater. It is shown analytically and numerically that wall failure occurs in shear rather than in tension, because the Mohr–Coulomb yield stress is less than the tensile yield stress. Numerical modelling of progressively increasing overpressure shows that bedrock failure develops in three stages: (1) tensile failure at the ground surface; (2) shear failure at the chamber wall; and (3) fault connection from the chamber wall to the ground surface. Predictions of surface deformation and stress with the theory of elasticity break down at stage 3. For wall tensile failure to occur at small overpressure, a state of lithostatic pore-fluid pressure is required in the bedrock which cancels the effect of gravity. Modelled eccentric shear band geometries are consistent with theoretical solutions from engineering plasticity and compare well with shear structures bordering exhumed intrusions. This study shows that the measured ground surface deformation may be misinterpreted when neither plasticity nor pore-fluid pressure is accounted for.

Keyword extraction

description: For knowledge management purposes, it would be useful to automatically classify and tag documents based on their content. Keyphrase extraction is one way of achieving this automatically by using statistical or semantic methods. Speak corpus-index-based keyphrase extraction can extract relevant concepts for documents, the inverse document index grows exponentially with the number of words that candidate concepts can have. Document-based heuristics can solve this issue, but often result in keyphrases that are not concepts. To increase concept precision, or the percentage of extracted keyphrases that represent actual concepts, we contribute a method to filter keyphrases based on a pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN). We tested CNNs containing vertical and horizontal filters to decide whether an n-gram (ie, a consecutive sequence of N words) is a concept or not, from a training set with labeled examples. The classification training signal is derived from the Wikipedia corpus, assuming that an n-gram certainly represents a concept if a corresponding Wikipedia page title exists. The CNN input feature is the vector representation of each word, derived from a word embedding model; the output is the probability of an n-gram to represent a concept. Multiple configurations for vertical and horizontal filters are analyzed and optimized through a hyper-parameterization process. The results demonstrated concept precision for extracted keywords of between 60 and 80% on average. Consequently, by applying a CNN-based concept recognition filter, the concept precision of keyphrase extraction was significantly improved.

description: The δ18O values of phosphatic microfossils recovered from NW Ireland are used to determine the timing and magnitude of cooling associated with the onset of the Carboniferous glaciation. Microfossil fish δ18Oapatite demonstrates a +2.4‰ (V-SMOW) shift, which, once corrected for δ18Oseawater changes owing to evolving ice volumes, equates to an approximate 4.5 °C reduction in equatorial sea surface temperature between the earliest Asbian and the mid-Brigantian (late Visean). Both conodont and microfossil fish δ18Oapatite indicate stabilization of an ‘icehouse’ climate during the Brigantian and into the Serpukhovian. Substantial late Visean cooling identified herein is in good agreement with global glacioeustatic records.

description: We present new geochemical and sedimentological data from marginal marine strata of Penarth Bay, south Wales (UK) to elucidate the origin of widespread but enigmatic concentrations of vertebrate hard parts (bonebeds) in marine successions of Rhaetian age (Late Triassic). Sedimentological evidence shows that the phosphatic constituents of the bonebeds were subjected to intense phosphatization in shallow current-dominated settings and subsequently reworked and transported basinward by storms. Interbedded organic-rich strata deposited under quiescent and poorly oxygenated conditions record enhanced phosphorus regeneration from sedimentary organic matter into the water column and probably provided the main source of phosphate required for heavy bonebed clast phosphatization. The stratigraphically limited interval showing evidence for oxygen depletion and accelerated P-cycling coincides with a negative 4‰ organic carbon isotope excursion, which possibly reflects supra-regional changes in carbon cycling and clearly predates the ‘initial isotope excursion’ characterizing many Triassic–Jurassic boundary strata. Our data indicate that Rhaetian bonebeds are the lithological signature of profound, climatically driven changes in carbon cycling and redox conditions and support the idea of a multi-pulsed environmental crisis at the end of the Triassic, possibly linked to successive episodes of igneous activity in the Central Atlantic Magmatic Province.

description: The Sierra Madre de Chiapas evolved in the vicinity of the triple junction between the Cocos, North America and Caribbean plates. The Sierra Madre de Chiapas tectonics reflects positive topographic growth along its main core and a northwards-directed collapse through a free border related to the Gulf of Mexico. Major exhumation and topographic growth occurred during the middle–late Miocene (16–10 Ma). Evidence for this deformational event is provided by fault activity, major stratigraphic unconformities along the Sierra Madre de Chiapas and the Tabasco coastal plain (i.e. southern Gulf of Mexico), major salt-related motion, northward progradation of the sedimentation and northward migration of the buried deformational front. During the Neogene, strike-slip deformation and its related exhumation migrated landwards from the western edge of the Chiapas massif complex to the Chiapas Sierra. Horizontal displacement along the main strike-slip faults in the Chiapas Sierra has been indirectly estimated to be between 30 and 43 km during the last 6–5 Ma, implying 0.5–0.8 cm a−1 of lateral accommodation. These values suggest that a significant amount of the motion transferred by the Caribbean and North American plates is currently being accommodated along the Chiapas area.

description: The Pennine Basin of northern England contains a comparatively complete Serpukhovian– Moscovian succession characterized by high-resolution ammonoid zonation and cyclic paralic sedimentation. Two new isotope dilution thermal ionization mass spectrometry zircon ages from a bentonite deposited during the Arnsbergian (mid-Serpukhovian) regional substage and tonstein of earliest Bolsovian (early Moscovian) regional substage have been determined. The weighted mean 206Pb/238U ages of 328.34 ± 0.55 and 314.37 ± 0.53 Ma (total uncertainty), respectively, require modification of the time scale for the Western Europe regional chronostratigraphy. The areal extent of acme ammonoid facies is used as a proxy for the magnitude of 47 discrete flooding events. Incised valleys (major sequence boundaries) are used as a proxy for the magnitude of sea-level falls. The frequency of these events, in the light of the new radiometric dating, indicates the following: (1) there is temporal coincidence between major glaciations in Gondwana and phases of increased frequency of sequence boundaries in the Pennine Basin; (2) high-amplitude flooding surfaces have an average frequency of c. 400 ka; (3) average cycle durations during the Pendleian–early Arnsbergian and Chokierian–Bolsovian, of c. 111 and c. 150 ka, respectively, reflect short-duration eccentricities; (4) multiple flooding surfaces with the same ammonoid assemblages may equate with sub-100 ka precession or obliquity frequencies.

description: The aim of this paper is to investigate the effect of the location of the SVC installation on the amount of power losses in the
 power system. The IEEE modified system with 3 wind turbines and 24 nodes was used as the test system. For the purpose of discovering
 the optimal location of the SVC device, GAMS programme was used. Comparing the results for losses before and after setting SVC to
 the optimum position in order to minimize losses, it was concluded that the position and power of the SVC device greatly influence the
 amount of losses in the system.

description: The ongoing growth of cities due to better job opportunities is leading to increased labour-relatedcommuter flows in several countries. On the one hand, an increasing number of people commuteand move to the cities, but on the other hand, the labour market indicates higher unemployment ratesin urban areas than in the surrounding areas. We investigate this phenomenon on regional level byan alternative definition of unemployment rates in which commuting behaviour is integrated. Wecombine data from the Labour Force Survey (LFS) with dynamic mobile network data by small areamodels for the federal state North Rhine-Westphalia in Germany. From a methodical perspective, weuse a transformed Fay-Herriot model with bias correction for the estimation of unemployment ratesand propose a parametric bootstrap for the Mean Squared Error (MSE) estimation that includes thebias correction. The performance of the proposed methodology is evaluated in a case study based onofficial data and in model-based simulations. The results in the application show that unemploymentrates (adjusted by commuters) in German cities are lower than traditional official unemployment ratesindicate.

description: Cloud Computing hat sich als unverzichtbarer Bestandteil der IT-Welt etabliert. Es ermöglicht Unternehmen, Ressourcen wie CPU und Arbeitsspeicher flexibel und bedarfsgerecht zu nutzen. Eine eziente Nutzung dieser Ressourcen ist entscheidend, da eine ineziente Nutzung mit einem erhöhten Stromverbrauch einhergeht. Bei der Produktion von Strom werden, direkt oder indirekt, Treibhausgase emittiert. Aufgrund des kontinuierlichen und starken Wachstums von Kubernetes als Schlüsseltechnologie besteht ein erhebliches Potenzial, die CO2-Emissionen durch eine ezientere Nutzung dieser Plattform zu reduzieren. Diese Arbeit untersucht den Energieverbrauch von Kubernetes-Clustern mithilfe des KeplerProjektes und zielt darauf ab, Strategien zur Steigerung der Energieezienz zu identifizieren und zu bewerten. Im Zentrum stehen dabei zwei Hauptansätze: der Vergleich von Monolithen und Microservices hinsichtlich ihres Energieverbrauchs und die Evaluation des Einsatzes des Vertical Pod Autoscalers (VPA) zur Optimierung der Ressourcennutzung. In der Untersuchung des ersten Ansatzes wurde festgestellt, dass die Deploymentstrategie (Monolith vs. Microservices) allein keine signifikante Auswirkung auf die Energieezienz hat. Der Energieverbrauch wird hauptsächlich durch den Idle Energieverbrauch der Nodes beeinflusst. Der zweite Ansatz dieser Arbeit, der Einsatz des Vertical Pod Autoscalers, zeigte hingegen positive Eekte auf die Energieezienz. Durch die dynamische Anpassung der Ressourcenanforderungen von Pods und durch das Entfernen von Nodes konnte die Auslastung der Nodes verbessert und somit der Idle Energieverbrauch verringert werden. Dies führte zu einer signifikanten Reduktion des Energieverbrauchs. Diese Arbeit bietet wichtige Einsichten in die Energieezienz von Kubernetes-Clustern und zeigt auf, dass insbesondere die Reduktion des Idle Energieverbrauchs und der gezielte Einsatz von Ressourcenmanagement-Tools entscheidend für ezientere Ressourcennutzung sind.
