Deposits of clastic carbonate-dominated (calciclastic) sedimentary slope systems in the rock record have been identified mostly as linearly-consistent carbonate apron deposits, even though most ancient clastic carbonate slope deposits fit the submarine fan systems better. Calciclastic submarine fans are consequently rarely described and are poorly understood. Subsequently, very little is known especially in mud-dominated calciclastic submarine fan systems. Presented in this study are a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) that reveals a >250 m thick calciturbidite complex deposited in a calciclastic submarine fan setting. Seven facies are recognised from core and thin section characterisation and are grouped into three carbonate turbidite sequences. They include: 1) Calciturbidites, comprising mostly of highto low-density, wavy-laminated bioclast-rich facies; 2) low-density densite mudstones which are characterised by planar laminated and unlaminated muddominated facies; and 3) Calcidebrites which are muddy or hyper-concentrated debrisflow deposits occurring as poorly-sorted, chaotic, mud-supported floatstones.

These lectures are intended as a pedagogical introduction to the covariant formulation of nonequilibrium and statistical thermodynamics and kinetic theory. The various formulations of nonequilibrium thermodynamics and their individual difficulties — with causality, stability, shock structure — are critically reviewed. As an illustration of the general formalism, a fairly detailed treatment is presented of the covariant statistical thermodynamics of superfluids.

Covariant fluid mechanics and thermodynamics: An introduction

During the last century, entanglement was the bone of contention between the two main pillars of Physics: General Relativity (GR) and Quantum Mechanics (QM). This began in 1935 with the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox (EPR paradox) which concluded that although Quantum
Mechanics is not wrong, it is an incomplete theory to represent physical reality. In this paper it is demonstrated that some byproducts resulting from entanglement, which we will call avatars, act as a hinge that link both theories making the completeness of QM clear. Moreover, a thorough analysis of the non-locality of this effect will be carried out while demonstrating that entanglement is an instantaneous phenomenon, and that it does not require the use of a superluminal signaling for this purpose. Finally, the avatars will also appear in each wormhole resulting from an entanglement process (WREP) demonstrating that they are traversable with an equivalent path of null length which can be crossed in a null time with all that this implies in Quantum Communications.

Every entangled stuff has its own avatar

An inhomogeneous and anisotropic solution for the inflationary (exponential) phase is obtained, endowed with a spinning fluid.

Inhomogeneous inflation with spinning fluid

An analysis of the extension of the Hawking-Penrose singularity theorem to Riemann-Cartan U4 space-times with torsion and spin density is undertaken. The minimal coupling principle in U4 is used to formulate a new expression for the convergence condition autoparallels in Einstein-Cartan theory. The Godel model with torsion is given as an example.

Spin dynamics in general relativity

The energy-momentum tensor of a spinning fluid written in a form structurally similar to that of an imperfect fluid is used to investigate the evolution of an inhomogeneous and anisotropic cosmological model. It is observed that the model evolves into the Friedmann model due to the effect of spin.
