TL;DR: In this paper, a sedimentological core and petrographic characterisation of samples from eleven boreholes from the Lower Carboniferous of Bowland Basin (Northwest England) is presented.
Abstract: 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.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a method to continue the fermionic renormalization group flow into phases with broken global symmetry, which does not require a Hubbard-Stratonovich decoupling of the interaction.
Abstract: We describe a method to continue the fermionic renormalization group flow into phases with broken global symmetry. This method does not require a Hubbard-Stratonovich decoupling of the interaction. Instead an infinitesimally small symmetry-breaking component is inserted into the initial action, as an initial condition for the flow of the self-energy. Its flow is driven by the interaction, and at low scales it saturates at a nonzero value if there is a tendency for spontaneous symmetry breaking in the corresponding channel. For the reduced BCS model, we show how a small initial gap amplitude flows to the value given by the exact solution of the model. We also discuss the emergence of the Goldstone boson in this approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the characteristic distributions for the gluon fusion process are analyzed for the $Hto W^+W^-$ signal at $m_H=160$ GeV, with subsequent leptonic decay of the $W$-pair.
Abstract: Higgs boson production in association with two tagging jets will be mediated by electroweak vector boson fusion and by gluon fusion processes at the CERN LHC. The characteristic distributions for the gluon fusion process are analyzed for the $H\to W^+W^-$ signal at $m_H=160$ GeV, with subsequent leptonic decay of the $W$-pair. The dominant backgrounds from top-quark pair production, $WWjj$ production and vector boson fusion processes can be suppressed to a level of $S/B\approx 1/4$, yielding a highly significant gluon fusion signal with 30 fb$^{-1}$. Analysis of the azimuthal angle correlations of the two jets provides for a direct measurement of the CP-nature of the $Htt$ Yukawa coupling which is responsible for the effective $Hgg$ vertex.

TL;DR: In this article, a new fast ion loss detector with 1MHz time resolution allows frequency and phase resolved correlation between low frequency magnetic perturbation, together with modelling of the particle orbits, new insights into the mechanism of fast particle losses during NBI and ICRH due to helical perturbations.
Abstract: Beyond a certain heating power, measured and predicted distributions of NBI driven currents deviate from each other, in a form that can be explained by the assumption of a modest diffusion of fast particles. Direct numerical simulation of fast test particles in a given field of electrostatic turbulence indicates that for reasonable parameters fast and thermal particle diffusion indeed are similar. High quality plasma edge plasma profiles on ASDEX Upgrade, used in the linear, gyrokinetic, global stability code LIGKA give excellent agreement with the eigenfunction measured by a newly extended reflectometry system for ICRH-excited TAE-modes. They support the hypothesis of TAE-frequency crossing of the continuum in the edge region as explanation of the high TAE-damping rates measured on JET.A new fast ion loss detector with 1MHz time resolution allows frequency and phase resolved correlation between low frequency magnetic perturbation, giving, together with modelling of the particle orbits, new insights into the mechanism of fast particle losses during NBI and ICRH due to helical perturbations.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that shifts of selection do occur during spatial relationship judgments that feel simultaneous, by tracking selection with an electrophysiological correlate, and it is speculated that static structure across space may be encoded as a dynamic sequence across time.

TL;DR: In this article, the performance of various exchange-correlation functionals is evaluated in the calculation of molecular excitation energies from time-dependent density functional theory, using either the local density approximation (LDA) for exchange and correlation or an orbital functional in the approximation of Krieger, Li and Iafrate.
Abstract: The performance of various exchange-correlation functionals is evaluated in the calculation of molecular excitation energies from time-dependent density functional theory. Excitation energies of N2 and CO are reported, using either the local density approximation (LDA) for exchange and correlation or an orbital functional in the approximation of Krieger, Li and Iafrate. The latter is based on exact exchange plus a correlation contribution in the form suggested by Colle and Salvetti. While the LDA proves to work remarkably well for the lower excited states due to error cancellations, self-interaction-free potentials are essential for a good description of higher lying states. q 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

TL;DR: This report will establish methods for performing a domain analysis and describe the products of the domain analysis process to illustrate the application of domain analysis to a representative class of software systems.
Abstract: : Successful Software reuse requires the systematic discovery and exploitation of commonality across related software systems. By examining related software systems and the underlying theory of the class of systems they represent, domain analysis can provide a generic description of the requirements of that class of systems and a set of approaches for their implementation. This report will establish methods for performing a domain analysis and describe the products of the domain analysis process. To illustrate the application of domain analysis to a representative class of software systems, this report will provide a domain analysis of window management system software.

TL;DR: The straw person model (SPM) as mentioned in this paper has been proposed to explain the orientation effects of active galactic nuclei (AGN) and quasars in the line of sight (LOS) images.
Abstract: Because the critical central regions of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) and quasars are strongly nonspherical but spatially unresolved, orientation effects have been the source of much confusion. In fact, it now appears that much of the variety in AGN types is just the result of varying orientation relative to the line of sight. We can define an extreme hypothesis,, the straw person model (SPM), in which there are two basic types of AGN: the radio quiets and the radio louds. For each type there is a range in intrinsic luminosity, and the luminosity controls some properties such as the Fanaroff and Riley classes. However, at a given intrinsic luminosity, all other properties such as spectroscopic classification and VLBI component speeds are ascribed to orientation. This model is only a caricature of the unification idea, and is already ruled out on many grounds, but it will be useful for organizing the discussion. I’ll describe what I consider to be convincing evidence that orientation effects are important and widespread. The true situation may be in some sense half way between the SPM and the hypothesis that orientation doesn’t affect classification at aIl. To us optimists, the orienration cup is half full rather than half empty. Although it is too soon to say for sure, the hypothesis that most objects’ classifications would be different if seen from other directions is a tenable one today.

TL;DR: This Review assembles the current knowledge on the isolation of microfibrillated cellulose from wood and its application in nanocomposites; the preparation of nanocrystalline cellulose and its use as a reinforcing agent; and the biofabrication of bacterial nanocellulose, as well as its evaluation as a biomaterial for medical implants.
Abstract: Cellulose fibrils with widths in the nanometer range are nature-based materials with unique and potentially useful features. Most importantly, these novel nanocelluloses open up the strongly expanding fields of sustainable materials and nanocomposites, as well as medical and life-science devices, to the natural polymer cellulose. The nanodimensions of the structural elements result in a high surface area and hence the powerful interaction of these celluloses with surrounding species, such as water, organic and polymeric compounds, nanoparticles, and living cells. This Review assembles the current knowledge on the isolation of microfibrillated cellulose from wood and its application in nanocomposites; the preparation of nanocrystalline cellulose and its use as a reinforcing agent; and the biofabrication of bacterial nanocellulose, as well as its evaluation as a biomaterial for medical implants.
