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.

Computer systems often reach a point at which the relative cost to increase some tunable parameter is no longer worth the corresponding performance benefit. These ``knees'' typically represent beneficial points that system designers have long selected to best balance inherent trade-offs. While prior work largely uses ad hoc, system-specific approaches to detect knees, we present Kneedle, a general approach to on line and off line knee detection that is applicable to a wide range of systems. We define a knee formally for continuous functions using the mathematical concept of curvature and compare our definition against alternatives. We then evaluate Kneedle's accuracy against existing algorithms on both synthetic and real data sets, and evaluate its performance in two different applications.

The Tb-theorem on non-homogeneous spaces

Analysis on metric spaces emerged in the 1990s as an independent research field providing a unified treatment of first-order analysis in diverse and potentially nonsmooth settings. Based on the fundamental concept of upper gradient, the notion of a Sobolev function was formulated in the setting of metric measure spaces supporting a Poincare inequality. This coherent treatment from first principles is an ideal introduction to the subject for graduate students and a useful reference for experts. It presents the foundations of the theory of such first-order Sobolev spaces, then explores geometric implications of the critical Poincare inequality, and indicates numerous examples of spaces satisfying this axiom. A distinguishing feature of the book is its focus on vector-valued Sobolev spaces. The final chapters include proofs of several landmark theorems, including Cheeger's stability theorem for Poincare inequalities under Gromov–Hausdorff convergence, and the Keith–Zhong self-improvement theorem for Poincare inequalities.

Sobolev Spaces on Metric Measure Spaces: An Approach Based on Upper Gradients

We show that if $\phi$ is a quasiconformal mapping with compactly supported Beltrami coefficient in the Sobolev space $W^{1,2}$, then $\phi$ preserves sets with vanishing analytic capacity. It then follows that a compact set $E$ is removable for bounded analytic functions if and only if it is removable for bounded quasiregular mappings with compactly supported Beltrami coefficient in $W^{1,2}$.

Analytic capacity and quasiconformal mappings with $W^{1,2}$ Beltrami coefficient

We show that, given a set $E\subset \mathbb R^{n+1}$ with finite $n$-Hausdorff measure $H^n$, if the $n$-dimensional Riesz transform $$R_{H^n|E} f(x) = \int_{E} \frac{x-y}{|x-y|^{n+1}} f(y) dH^n(y)$$ is bounded in $L^2(H^n|E)$, then $E$ is $n$-rectifiable. From this result we deduce that a compact set $E\subset\mathbb R^{n+1}$ with $H^n(E)<\infty$ is removable for Lipschitz harmonic functions if and only if it is purely $n$-unrectifiable, thus proving the analog of Vitushkin's conjecture in higher dimensions.

We obtain the complete characterization of those domains G ⊂ ℂ which admit the so-called estimate of the Cauchy integral, that is to say, $\left| {\smallint _{\partial G} {\text{f}}\left( z \right)dz} \right| \leqslant C\left( G \right)\left\| {\text{f}} \right\|\infty \gamma \left( E \right)$ for all E ⊂ G and f ∊ H∞ (G E), where γ\(E) is the analytic capacity of E. The corresponding result for continuous functions f and the continuous analytic capacity α(E) is also proved.

Estimate of the Cauchy Integral over Ahlfors Regular Curves

In this paper we study the connection between the analytic capacity of a set and the size of its orthogonal projections. More precisely, we prove that if $E\subset \mathbb C$ is compact and $\mu$ is a Borel measure supported on $E$, then the analytic capacity of $E$ satisfies $$ \gamma(E) \geq c\,\frac{\mu(E)^2}{\int_I \|P_\theta\mu\|_2^2\,d\theta}, $$ where $c$ is some positive constant, $I\subset [0,\pi)$ is an arbitrary interval, and $P_\theta\mu$ is the image measure of $\mu$ by $P_\theta$, the orthogonal projection onto the line $\{re^{i\theta}:r\in\mathbb R\}$. This result is related to an old conjecture of Vitushkin about the relationship between the Favard length and analytic capacity. We also prove a generalization of the above inequality to higher dimensions which involves related capacities associated with signed Riesz kernels.

In this paper we prove the sharp distortion estimates for the quasi- conformal mappings in the plane, both in terms of the Riesz capacities from non linear potential theory and in terms of the Hausdorff measures.
