description: The Late Triassic age Blomidon Formation consists nearly entirely of massive gypsiferous mudstone and sandstones arranged into distinctive sand patch cycles, many of which show various salt dissolution features. Identical Late Triassic, cyclical, largely clastic facies are widespread in Morocco, on the conjugate margin to Nova Scotia, where Blomidon-like strata frequently pass in the subsurface into extensive thick and laterally extensive halite deposits. Similar deposits are also present on the Scotian, Newfoundland, and Moroccan shelves. The GAV-77-3 core, collected by Getty Mines in 1977 as part of a Uranium prospecting survey, covers nearly all of the North Mountain Basalt and the entire fine-grained portion of the Blomidon Formation. Two other cores, GAV-77-1 and GAV-77-2, were also collected in the same area, but cover less of the section. These cores nicely complement the spectacular outcrops along the Fundy shores and provided a basis for the development of a complete lithological and paleomagnetic reversal stratigraphy for the Blomidon Formation (Kent and Olsen, 2000). The paleomagnetic polarity stratigraphy of the outcropping Blomidon Formation is known only for isolated intervals, but in conjunction with lithostratigraphy allow unambiguous correlation registry between core and outcrop. Correlation of the GAV-77-3 core polarity stratigraphy with the Newark GPTS, also based on core, is fairly straightforward as is correlation with the Moroccan Bigoudine Formation of the Argana basin. These correlations demonstrate that the major cyclical wet climatic intervals in the Newark basin sequence can be recognized in the Fundy and Argana basins and should also be expressed in the intervening basins on the shelves. In addition they demonstrate the synchrony of major climate changes caused by the very long-term celestial mechanical cycles of a very large part of central Pangea.

High-resolution early Mesozoic Pangean climatic transect in lacustrine environments

description: Analysis of 6700 m of core from the Newark rift basin in New Jersey, USA provides a high-resolution astronomically calibrated magnetic polarity time scale for the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic spanning about 33 million years. This time scale, and its application elsewhere, allows a significant simplification of the pattern of climate-sensitive facies in the early Mesozoic basins of the central and north Atlantic margins. Coals and deep-water lacustrine deposits were produced at the paleoequator (Richmond-type sequences), while strikingly cyclical lacustrine and playa deposits were produced \00 to the north and south (Newark-type lacustrine sequences). At 10-30 ON, eolian dunes, playas sediments and evaporites were deposited (Fundy-type sequences). Farther north, shallow-water lacustrine red beds were deposited (Fleming Fjord-type sequences), while yet farther north (-40°), perennial-lake black mudstones and coals again dominated in the humid temperate zone (Kap Stewart-type sequences). Central Pangea drifted north about 10° during the Late Triassic, and the vertical sequence of climate-sensitive facies in individual basins changed as the basins passed through different climate zones. This simple zonal climate pattern explains most first-order changes in overall lacustrine sequences seen in the rift zone. Lakelevel cycles of Milankovitch origin change in a predicable way with the latitudinal shifts in climate and lacustrine style. Roughly \0 ky precessional cycles dominate within a few degrees of the equator, while -20 ky precessional cycles are dominant northward to about 30 ON where 40 ky obliquity cycles become evident in lake-level records.

description: We present the power spectrum of the reconstructed halo density field derived from a sample of Luminous Red Galaxies (LRGs) from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey Seventh Data Release (DR7). The halo power spectrum has a direct connection to the underlying dark matter power for k <= 0.2 h/Mpc, well into the quasi-linear regime. This enables us to use a factor of ~8 more modes in the cosmological analysis than an analysis with kmax = 0.1 h/Mpc, as was adopted in the SDSS team analysis of the DR4 LRG sample (Tegmark et al. 2006). The observed halo power spectrum for 0.02 < k < 0.2 h/Mpc is well-fit by our model: chi^2 = 39.6 for 40 degrees of freedom for the best fit LCDM model. We find Ω_m h^2 * (n_s/0.96)^0.13 = 0.141^{+0.009}_{-0.012} for a power law primordial power spectrum with spectral index n_s and Ω_b h^2 = 0.02265 fixed, consistent with CMB measurements. The halo power spectrum also constrains the ratio of the comoving sound horizon at the baryon-drag epoch to an effective distance to z=0.35: r_s/D_V(0.35) = 0.1097^{+0.0039}_{-0.0042}. Combining the halo power spectrum measurement with the WMAP 5 year results, for the flat LCDM model we find Ω_m = 0.289 +/- 0.019 and H_0 = 69.4 +/- 1.6 km/s/Mpc. Allowing for massive neutrinos in LCDM, we find \sum m_ν < 0.62 eV at the 95% confidence level. If we instead consider the effective number of relativistic species Neff as a free parameter, we find Neff = 4.8^{+1.8}_{-1.7}. Combining also with the Kowalski et al. (2008) supernova sample, we find Ω_{tot} = 1.011 +/- 0.009 and w = -0.99 +/- 0.11 for an open cosmology with constant dark energy equation of state w.

description: The Argana rift basin of Morocco and the Fundy rift basin of the Maritime Provinces of Eastern Canada are on the conjugate margins of the central Atlantic Ocean. In the Late Triassic and Early Jurassic these basins lie at similar paleolatitudes within the same great rift system. A comparison of the depositional- and tectono-stratigraphy reveal strong similarities, much greater that those shared between the Fundy basin and other rifts in eastern North America. Both the Argana and Fundy basins are comprised of four, mostly unconformity-bound, tectonostratigraphic sequences (TS I-IV) probably controlled by pulses of extension: TS I, is Permian in age and the depositional facies of the Argana basin looks more humid than the age equivalent in the Fundy basin and the latter may not be a rift sequence; TS II, is early Late Triassic (Carnian) in age and is the most humid looking facies in both basins; TS III, is late Late Triassic (Norian and Rhaetian) in age and is much more arid in both basins with abundant aeolianites and evaporites; TS IV, is latest Triassic and earliest Jurassic (late Rhaetian - early Hettangian) and shows an increase in the range of variability in climate-sensitive facies - its basal part contains the Triassic-Jurassic boundary an overlying basalt flow sequence and additional fluvial and lacustrine strata on top. The dramatic similarity in both facies and sequence stratigraphy between the Argana and Fundy basins, at least during the Triassic, argues for similar tectonic control, restricted to that latitudinal swath of Pangea, as well as similar paleoclimate.
A study of ceramides and related compounds.
Creators: name: George, Edwin Ernest
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: 1. The thesis describes the synthesis of new compounds including both N- and 0-acyl sphingoids, N- and 0-acyl ˜í‚â§-hydroxyaminoacids, related oxazolines, and aminoacid esters and amides of lipids. 2. Some minor lipids chromatographed with ceramides from commercial and fresh biological sources were identified as partially oxidised cerebrosides and monoglycerides respectively. 3. Chromatographic methods (TLC and GLC) were elaborated for the study of sphingolipids with special reference to the study of a) acyl migration; b) ageing; c) stereochemistry. 4. Resolution of groups of erythro and threo sphingoids by TLC and separation of individual diastereoisomers by GLC permitted the assignment of erythro configuration to natural sphingoids of brain. 5. It was shown that synthetic oxazolines derived from sphingoids and containing 0¬¨œÄ and 0¬¨‚â• in the ring were predominantly of the former kind if derived from erythro sphingoids, and of the latter kind if derived from threo sphingoids. 6. All oxazolines, except those derived from erythro sphingenine and containing 0¬¨‚â• in the ring, underwent acid hydrolysis without change of configuration. 7. Synthetic 0-acyl sphingoids readily changed to ceramides in neutral or alkaline media but the conversion of ceramides to 0-acyl isomers could not be brought about by acid; oxazoline intermediates were not found. 8. Neither oxazolines nor 0-acyl sphingoids have been found in fresh or aged ceramide solutions. Changes of ceramides on ageing are ascribed to photo-oxidation. 9. The fatty acid composition of sphingolipids from the milk of Friesian cows was surveyed. 10. The neutral lipids of 68 workers exposed to lead were assayed. 11. Studies of aminoacids in neutral lipid fractions suggest the presence of some covalently bound aminoacid-lipid combinations.
title: Development and Validation of an Instructional Program To Teach Observational and Recording Skills in Behavior Modification
Creators: name: Hecker, Gerald D.
name: Adams, Darlene L.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: A multimedia program for teaching observational and recording skills was developed and validated using a modified research and development model. The program consisted of two slide carousels (192 slides) with accompanying cassette tape and workbook and three supersound 8 mm cassettes with accompanying manual and monitor's guide. These materials are available through the Instructional Media Center of the Exceptional Child Center, Utah State University, Logan, Utah. The model employed two phases to determine program effectiveness. Phase I was concerned with the development and formative evaluation of program materials and procedures. In Phase II the program was validated under field conditions.
The effectiveness of the program was determined by comparing experimental and control groups on post-criterion test scores. The participants also filled out a questionnaire rating various aspects of the program.
Validation of the program was conducted at the Utah State University Exceptional Child Center. Four Special Education and one Psychology classes were used for the main field test. The sample population was randomly selected from class roll lists of the accessible population and consisted of 40 subjects, 20 assigned to the experimental group and 20 to the control group.
Each experimental subject was assigned to two sessions in order to complete the program, each session being approximately 1\ hours in length. The sessions were a maximum of four days apart, and for the majority of students were completed within a 24-hour time period.
The hypothesis that the experimental group would have significantly higher posttest mean scores than the control group was tested. An F value of 129.38 was significant at the .001 level for the total program. These results support the hypothesis. On the Student Feedback Form the program was rated overall at 4.93 on a five-point scale as being highly interesting, of value to them, and an efficient way to present this material.
The subjects reached criterion on the data collecting tasks presented. It was concluded from the post-criterion test and the feedback form results that this multimedia program was effective in teaching the basic concepts of observing, defining, and recording behavior.

Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: The effect of turbulence damping polymer additive on the fluid flow structure near the wall region of a circular pipe was made visible using real-time laser holographic interferometry. The interference fringes were recorded by high-speed motion photography. The gross flow behaviour of dilute solutions of Polyox WSR 301 in distilled water was studied in a 2.63 cm pipe. It was observed that (i) The onset of drag reduction occurred at a critical value of wall shear stress and Reynolds number. (ii) The fluid property parameter, δ, which governs the drag reduction capacity of the solution, had a power-law dependence on polymer concentration given by [23] [ Formula omitted ] Motion pictures of real-time holographic fringe displays for pure solvent and polymer solution were appraised qualitatively. Under similar flow conditions turbulent eddies in drag-reducing flow were observed (i) to show less small scale structure than those in the pure solvent, and (ii) to burst from the wall region into the bulk flow with a lower frequency.

Bridging the Middle Passage: The textual (r)evolution of Césaire’s Cahier d’un retour au pays natal
Creators: name: Gil Fuentes, Alexander
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2012
Subjects: Literature

description: The paper represents the most up-to-date, comprehensive and accurate account of the history of The Cahier d' un retour au pays natal in English today. I use the early productions and reproductions of the poem to argue that Césaire's early work is meant for an American (in the broad sense of the word) audience. Using textual evidence and archival research I demonstrate that the Brentano's edition of the poem is not an anomaly to be read as a different poem as has been argued before, but a central constituent in the development of Césaire's poetics in the early 40s. The paper also provides a few more details than previously available about the production of the Lydia Cabrera translation of the poem.

The Criminal Liability of Corporations for Insider Trading in Australia: Proposals for Reform

description: The regulation of insider trading - the act of trading in securities or other financial products while in possession of relevant non-public, price-sensitive information - is a controversial and complex area of corporate law. Although there has been a marked increase in the number of individual offenders convicted of insider trading in recent years, there has never been a successful criminal prosecution of a corporation for insider trading in Australia, or even a successful set of civil penalty proceedings. This thesis will focus on corporate criminal liability for insider trading in Australia - a topic of great theoretical and practical significance. Corporations are subject to the prohibition of insider trading under Australian law, yet the absence of any successful prosecution, and the dearth of cases concerning corporate defendants, means the law is untested on many relevant issues, complicated by conflicting views as to the proper application of insider trading laws to corporations. The purpose of this thesis is threefold: (i) to determine the manner in which insider trading laws apply to corporations in Australia; (ii) to critically examine the application of those insider trading laws and identify any associated difficulties or flaws; and (iii) to set out proposals for reform and a new model of corporate criminal liability for insider trading in Australia. This thesis will demonstrate that there are a number of specific problems which can be identified in the application of the elements of the insider trading offence to corporations. In particular, there are many mechanisms, existing under both the general law and statute, which can be used to attribute the elements of the insider trading offence to corporations, although there is a lack of clarity as to their availability and application. These different mechanisms also apply a variety of tests, many of which are conflicting, making it difficult to determine when a corporation will actually be regarded as engaging in insider trading. The Chinese Wall defence for corporations also contains a number of gaps in its operation, creating additional uncertainty. This thesis critically analyses corporate criminal liability for insider trading in Australia. Having regard to the need for legislative certainty and the 'market integrity' rationale underpinning Australia's insider trading laws, this thesis recommends reforms to the existing regulatory regime in order to remedy the identified problems and to better apply the law to corporations. Accordingly, a new model of direct corporate criminal liability for insider trading in Australia is proposed.

title: The Individual and Collective Relationships of Levels of Aspiration. Expectation and Achievement to the Construct of Self Concept
Creators: name: Latham, Mark G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: A review of the literature revealed that while numerous studies exist relative to the self concept, no study was found that addressed itself specifically to the relationship and relative contribution to the self concept of aspirations, expectations and achievements. The ref ore. this study was launched addressing itself to the question, "Are aspirations. expectations and achievements related to the construct of self concept?", "to what extent are they related when considered as individual variables. in combinations or as a totality?"
The FitzGibbon Rating Scale (FRS) was used as the criterion variable.
FRS scores were gathered by classroom teachers experienced with the FRS and upon whom interrator reliability data had been gathered. Data on aspirations. expectations. and achievements were gathered via a game especially designed for this study.
Subjects (Ss) were 40 girls and 47 boys (N=87) enrolled in the Edith Bowen Teacher Education Laboratory School for the school year 1972-73 in grades 4, 5, and 6 at Utah State University.
Results:
Hypothesis 1a. the correlation between the FRS self concept scores a:.:d level of aspiration scores, was accepted in its null form.
Hypothesis 1b. the correlation between the FRS self concept scores and level of expectation scores. was accepted in its null form.
Hypothesis 1c, the correlation between the FRS self concept scores and level of achievement scores. was accepted in its null form.
Hypothesis 2b, the correlation between the FRS self concept scores and the interrelationship scores between levels of aspiration, achievement and expectation, was accepted in its null form.
Hypothesis 3. the correlation between the FRS self concept scores and the sum of the interrelationship scores among levels of aspiration, achievement and expectation, was accepted in its null form.
Hypotheses 4 and 5 having to do with percent of successes and its relationship to the FRS were rejected.
Hypotheses 2a, dealing with the aspiration-achievement interrelationship and its relationship to the FRS was rejected in its null form. It was the only variable studied that showed a positive significant relationship to the FRS self concept.

Within this model we calculate the microwave response and the NMR relaxation rate. The influence of intra- and interband impurity scattering beyond the Born and unitary limits is taken into account. We show that, depending on the scattering rate, various types of power law temperature dependencies of the magnetic field penetration depth and the NMR relaxation rate at low temperatures may take place.

description: The spectroscopic Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) Data Release 7 (DR7) galaxy sample represents the final set of galaxies observed using the original SDSS target selection criteria. We analyse the clustering of galaxies within this sample, including both the Luminous Red Galaxy (LRG) and Main samples, and also include the 2-degree Field Galaxy Redshift Survey (2dFGRS) data. Baryon Acoustic Oscillations are observed in power spectra measured for different slices in redshift; this allows us to constrain the distance--redshift relation at multiple epochs. We achieve a distance measure at redshift z=0.275, of r_s(z_d)/D_V(0.275)=0.1390+/-0.0037 (2.7% accuracy), where r_s(z_d) is the comoving sound horizon at the baryon drag epoch, D_V(z)=[(1+z)^2D_A^2cz/H(z)]^(1/3), D_A(z) is the angular diameter distance and H(z) is the Hubble parameter. We find an almost independent constraint on the ratio of distances D_V(0.35)/D_V(0.2)=1.736+/-0.065, which is consistent at the 1.1sigma level with the best fit Lambda-CDM model obtained when combining our z=0.275 distance constraint with the WMAP 5-year data. The offset is similar to that found in previous analyses of the SDSS DR5 sample, but the discrepancy is now of lower significance, a change caused by a revised error analysis and a change in the methodology adopted, as well as the addition of more data. Using WMAP5 constraints on Omega_bh^2 and Omega_ch^2, and combining our BAO distance measurements with those from the Union Supernova sample, places a tight constraint on Omega_m=0.286+/-0.018 and H_0 = 68.2+/-2.2km/s/Mpc that is robust to allowing curvature and non-Lambda dark energy. This result is independent of the behaviour of dark energy at redshifts greater than those probed by the BAO and supernova measurements. (abridged)

The cognitive processes of educable mentally retarded children in hypothetical temptation to steal situations and their responses to treatment
Creators: name: Haines, Allan Thomas
Publisher: name: University Of Tasmania
Year: 2023

description: This thesis had two major study components, Study I was concerned with an evaluation of educable mentally retarded children's responses and cognitive processes in hypothetical temptation to steal situations, whilst Study II examined the effectiveness of treatment programs in modifying the children's behaviour in such situations. Justification for this research emanated from the problems faced by the community in relationship to stealing. In Study I the sample, which consisted of 83 eleven to sixteen year old children, I.Q. 50-75, was randomly selected from a population of 108 children in special schools in Tasmania. The children were administered a series of tests including Jackson's Hypothetical Temptation to Steal Test (JHTST) and real life temptation measures. The major findings indicated that there was a significant discrepancy between the children's resistance responses on the behavioural ('did do') measure compared to the moral judgement ('should do') measure of the JHTST. The cognitive operations were analysed in terms of extrinsic, intrinsic and right/wrong cognitive processes. It was found that extrinsic yielding processes were used significantly more than intrinsic processes on both the 'did do' and 'should do' measures. A significantly greater number of children used right/wrong resistance processes on the 'did do' measure compared to extrinsic or intrinsic processes. There was no difference between right/wrong and extrinsic processes on the 'should do' measure. As a result of the findings from Study I a treatment program was designed. An evaluation of this treatment program constituted the basis for Study II. The treatment derived its main aspects and content from Jackson's (1968) model of cognitive processing in hypothetical temptation to steal situations. The content and format of the treatment owed much to a study done by Haines, Jackson and Davidson with normal children in 1980. Study II, which was based on the same population pool of 108 children Study I drew from, employed a four group design with one group receiving a direct instruction program (DIP). A second group, serving as an alternative treatment condition received a general instruction procedure (GIP), while a third group (no treatment control) experienced no specific intervention. The fourth group was a post-only control group employed to test for sensitization of testing effects. An analysis of the data from Study II indicated that the DIP group used both resistance responses and intrinsic resistance processes significantly more than the GIP and no treatment control groups on the behavioural measure of the JHTST. A three month follow-up probe indicated that the gains made by the DIP group were maintained. The implications of the study for the prevention of stealing were considered.
La Représentation en profondeur d'Et les chiens se taisaient d'Aimé Césaire : Pour une édition génétique en ligne

description: This piece produced for issue 33 of the Paris journal Genesis, serves as an introduction to my editorial project for the French critique génétique audience. It was written before I made advances in my understanding of textual blocks and may prove a bit dated by the time I make the edition public. I argue in here that an edition must do the best that technology allows to combine analysis with readability. In order to do so, I advocate for a different set of views: reading texts, birds-eye abstractions and virtual versions.
title: The Effects of a Self-Directed Behavior Change on Self-Concept
Creators: name: Leatham, Larry A.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: The effects on self-concept as a result of behavior changes made during a self-directed self-modification project were studied on 16 students at Utah State University over a period of nine weeks. Pre and post measures of self-concept administered were the Tennessee Self Concept Scale and the Well-Being Scale from the California Psychological Inventory. The research design employed was the pretest-.posttest control group design. A separate analysis of covariance was run for the Total P raw score of the Tennessee Self Concept Scale and raw scores on the Well-Being Scale. The F was substantially short of the value of F needed for significance.
The hypothesis that a behavior change would result in a self concept change was not supported. It was hypothesized that a behavior change was not the only variable that controlled self-concept. It was suggested that a more homogeneous group of subjects be used in further research, one where all the subjects were changing the same behavior, and then control for education and age.
On the Usefulness of Modulation Spaces in Deformation Quantization

description: We discuss the relevance to deformation quantization of Feichtinger's modulation spaces, especially of the weighted Sjoestrand classes. These function spaces are good classes of symbols of pseudo-differential operators (observables). They have a widespread use in time-frequency analysis and related topics, but are not very well-known in physics. It turns out that they are particularly well adapted to the study of the Moyal star-product and of the star-exponential.

title: An Analysis of Participation and Leadership in a College Seminar
Creators: name: Phillips, Hugh J.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1974

description: The task of this research was to describe the rates and patterns of verbal behavior emitted in a college seminar, under two leadership conditions, teacher leadership and student leadership. The subjects were 12 college students and the course's associate professor. The data were gathered by using R. F. Bale's interaction process analysis. Results indicate that rates of verbal behavior and numbers and rates of paired student-to-student interaction were higher under student leadership than under teacher leadership. In addition, there was a more equitable distribution of responses under student leadership than under teacher leadership.

Direct contact, liquid-liquid heat transfer to a vapourizing, immiscible drop.
Creators: name: Adams, Arthur Edward Steele
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2011

description: This thesis presents a study of some of the factors affecting direct contact, liquid-liquid heat transfer from a continuous phase of 0.0%, 56.02%, 73.07%, and 77.06% glycerine-water solutions to a dispersed phase, which is vapourizing, of isopentane or cyclopentane. An average heat transfer coefficient based on the initial area, the total evaporation time, the total heat transferred, and the .temperature driving force at the end of evaporation was calculated. This coefficient was correlated to the parameters of the systems by the dimensionless groups of continuous phase Prandtl number, dispersed phase Prandtl number, and a viscosity ratio. The results are compared to the works of Klipstein, Sideman and Prakash. A comparison made between the photographic and dilatometric method of volume measurement showed the dilatometric method to be the best for this type of work.
title: The Effects of Videotape Relaxation Training and EMG Feedback on Frontalis Muscle Activity
Creators: name: Weiher, Richard G.
Publisher: name: Utah State University
Year: 1975

description: Two studies were undertaken to assess the relative effects of videotape progressive relaxation and EMG feedback. During both studies EMG levels of the frontalis muscles were recorded. Ten subjects referred by the University Counseling Center, as high anxiety individuals, were exposed to one of the above two methods. A single subject multiple baseline design, including reversals, was used. Each subject was given four or six baseline sessions, one, four or seven exposures to the videotape and three return to baseline sessions. In the second study, using the same design, each subject was given four or six baseline sessions, four or seven EMG feedback sessions and four return to baseline sessions. No relaxation in frontalis EMG occurred during the initial baseline condition for any of the subjects in either study. Only those subjects given seven exposures to either relaxation training method produced significant decreases in frontalis EMG. The videotape subjects showed decreases during both the modeling and return to baseline conditions. The EMG feedback subjects produced systematic decreases in frontalis EMG during the feedback condition but increases occurred during the return to baseline condition. The clinical utility of both relaxation procedures might be increased by: increasing the number of training sessions, programming for generalization to real life situations, and developing other versions of the videotape relaxation program. The suitability of frontalis EMG as an overall indicator of body relaxation is questionable.
Glossary – Strike-slip Deformation, Basin Formation, and Sedimentation

description: Many of the geological terms having to do with strike slip deformation, basin formation, and sedimentation are used in a variety of ways by different authors (e.g., pull-apart basin), or they are synonymous with other words (e.g., left-lateral, sinistral). Rather than enforcing a rigorously uniform terminology in this book, we decided to set down our preferred definitions in a glossary, and where appropriate to indicate alternative usage In selecting terms for definition, we have tried to steer a course between being overly encyclopedic and providing a list useful to those having little familiarity with the geology of strike slip basins, especially those described in this volume. Some words (e.g., cycle) have additional meanings in the geological sciences not included here, and this glossary should therefore be used in the context of strike slip basins. The references cited are those from which we obtained definitions, or which illustrate the concept embodied by a particular term. We have not attempted to provide original references for every term, especially for those long used in the geological literature.

description: We consider N=1 supersymmetric gauge theories based on the group SU(N)_1 x SU(N)_2 x ... x SU(N)_k with matter content (N,N*,1,...,1) + (1,N,N*,..., 1) + >... + (N*,1,1,...,N) as candidates for the unification symmetry of all particles. In particular we examine to which extent such theories can become finite, and find that a necessary condition is that there should be exactly three families. From phenomenological considerations an SU(3)^3 model is singled out. We consider an all-loop and a two-loop finite model based on this gauge group and we study their predictions concerning the third generation quark masses.

description: The honey bee (Apis mellifera) is a pivotal species in both ecological and research contexts, serving as a model organism for studying complex social behavior and physiological processes. A critical aspect of understanding these complexities is the analysis of tissue-specific gene expression (TSGE), a challenging task due to the need to handle large bioinformatics data and manual tissue processing. In this study, we present a meta-analytic approach to investigate TSGE in A. mellifera, harnessing various open-source bioinformatics packages. From an initial pool of 4349 samples and 12,398 loci, our rigorous analysis resulted in a snapshot of 731 samples and 177 loci, representing high-quality estimates of TSGE patterns. This snapshot is publicly available, serving as a valuable resource for researchers interested in A. mellifera and beyond. Ongoing work will refine this analytical tool and expand its application to other species, thereby contributing to the broader understanding of gene expression patterns.
