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.

Scattering diagrams, Hall algebras and stability conditions
TL;DR: In this article, the authors associate a consistent scattering diagram taking values in the motivic Hall algebra of its category of representations with any quiver with relations, and show that the chamber structure of this scattering diagram coincides with the natural chamber struc-======¯¯¯¯¯¯ture in an open subset of the space of stability conditions on the associated triangulated category.

Access normalization: loop restructuring for NUMA compilers

TL;DR: This paper develops a systematic loop transformation strategy called access normalization that restructures loop nests to exploit locality and block transfers and model loop transformations using invertible matrices and integer lattice theory, thereby generalizing Banerjee's framework of unimodular matrices.
