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.

We discuss the theoretical bases that underpin the automation of the computations of tree-level and next-to-leading order cross sections, of their matching to parton shower simulations, and of the merging of matched samples that differ by light-parton multiplicities. We present a computer program, MadGraph5 aMC@NLO, capable of handling all these computations — parton-level fixed order, shower-matched, merged — in a unified framework whose defining features are flexibility, high level of parallelisation, and human intervention limited to input physics quantities. We demonstrate the potential of the program by presenting selected phenomenological applications relevant to the LHC and to a 1-TeV e + e − collider. While next-to-leading order results are restricted to QCD corrections to SM processes in the first public version, we show that from the user viewpoint no changes have to be expected in the case of corrections due to any given renormalisable Lagrangian, and that the implementation of these are well under way.

9. A Cognitive Biotype of Depression Linking Symptoms, Behavior Measures, Neural Circuits, and Treatment Outcomes

Braced frames and roof trusses may interfere with functional spaces in multi-story, portal-framed structures. This research explores the application of a deployable mechanism as part of the structure to enhance the performance of multi-story buildings. The work presented herein involves simulation of a 3D, scaled-down, aluminum-framed, deployable truss roof-braced frame system. The authors propose this new structural system for prototype structures, incorporating actuator-controlled mechanisms for significant shape changes leading to a topology change. The resulting deployable structural system is sleeker, utilizing less space, material, and energy than traditional structural forms to resist lateral and gravity loads.

Design strategies for GaAs-based THz quantum-cascade lasers in the 5-6 THz range

This paper presents a new torque control function for torque ripple reduction in switched reluctance drives. The approach is based on the maximum utilization of available dc link voltage, extending the zero torque-ripple speed range. The approach is suitable for switched reluctance machines with any number of phases and stator/rotor poles. Soft switching control is deployed, which reduces switching losses. At any instant, only one phase current is controlled, significantly reducing the control complexity. Simulations are carried out on a four-phase 8/6, 4kW SRM in MATLAB/Simulink.
