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.

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.

Design of a Three-Helix Bundle Capable of Binding Heavy Metals in a Triscysteine Environment
Saumen Chakraborty,Joslyn Yudenfreund Kravitz,Peter W. Thulstrup,Lars Hemmingsen,William F. DeGrado,Vincent L. Pecoraro +5 more
TL;DR: This work designed soft, thiol-rich metal-binding sites involving cysteine and/or penicillamine as the ligating amino acid residues into the interior of parallel, three-stranded ahelical coiled coils and used a single polypeptide chain instead of multiple self-associating peptides.

Prethermalization in quenched spinor condensates
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the dynamics of spin-1 spinor condensates after a quantum quench from the polar to ferromagnetic state from varying the quadratic Zeeman field $q$ and apply the truncated Wigner approximation (TWA) to the spinor system.
