TLDR
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.

Out-of-equilibrium charge dynamics in a hybrid circuit quantum electrodynamics architecture
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors couple the charge levels of a carbon-nanotube-based double dot to cavity photons and perform a microwave readout of the charge states of this system, which allows them to unveil features of the out-of-equilibrium charge dynamics, unseen in the DC current.
Automatic Transcription of Simple Polyphonic Music: Robust Front End Processing
TL;DR: The blackboard approach to automatic transcription is outlined and a new system based on the log-lag correlogram of [Ellis 1996] is presented, outlining the bottom-up detection of octaves and transcription of simple polyphonic music.

Identification of small-molecule binding pockets in the soluble monomeric form of the Aβ42 peptide.
Maximillian Zhu,Alfonso De Simone,Dale Schenk,Gergely Tóth,Christopher M. Dobson,Michele Vendruscolo +5 more
TL;DR: This work explored the potential of a structure-based drug discovery procedure to target the soluble monomeric form of the Aβ42 peptide, and utilised a set of structures selected from clusters of conformations within an ensemble generated by molecular dynamics simulations.

Adhesion mechanisms at soft polymer interfaces.
Liliane Léger,Costantino Creton +1 more
TL;DR: The adhesion mechanisms at soft polymer interfaces are analyzed with a special emphasis first on the role of connector molecules, that is, polymer chains bound to the interface and which transmit stress through a stretching and extraction mechanism, and second on the necessary relay taken by additional dissipation mechanisms acting at larger scales.

Methylene‐ and ether‐linked liquid crystal dimers II. Effects of mesogenic linking unit and terminal chain length
TL;DR: In this article, four series of liquid crystal dimers have been prepared containing either ether-linked or methylene-linked spacers, and the entropy change associated with the nematic-isotropic transition is higher for an even-membered methylene−linked dimer than for the corresponding ether−linked material.

A review of the features and analyses of the solid electrolyte interphase in Li-ion batteries
TL;DR: The solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) is a protecting layer formed on the negative electrode of Li-ion batteries as a result of electrolyte decomposition, mainly during the first cycle as discussed by the authors.
