The paleoenvironmental impact of the early Aptian Ocean Anoxic Event 1a (OAE 1a, ca. 121 Ma) has been investigated in detail Cismon Core (Lombardy Basin, western Tethys) by using different geochemical and micropaleontological proxies. We provide first high-resolution data benthic foraminiferal assemblages through upper Barremian - lower stratigraphic interval. Benthic foraminifera are integrate...

In this paper we introduce Bit-Interleaved pragmatic spacetime codes (BI-PSTC) and evaluate their performance over correlated fading channels taken into account by a Block Fading Channel (BFC) model. More precisely, the BitInterleaved pragmatic space-time codes (BI-PSTC) proposed here are obtained with the serial concatenation of a convolutional encoder, a bit-interleaver and a space-time mappe...

Abstract Qudit entanglement is an indispensable resource for quantum information processing since increasing dimensionality provides a pathway to higher capacity and increased noise resilience in communications, cluster-state computations. In continuous-variable time–frequency entanglement, encoding multiple qubits per photon only limited by the frequency correlation bandwidth detection timing ...

In many microfluidic applications, the complexity of the system is such that it requires tremendous efforts to setup the CFD problem, ranging from dimensioning of the computational domain, to grid setup. In setting up a grid, the user must complain to various constraints: adequate near-wall resolution, reduce the aspect ratio and the rate of grid stretching, and control of cell skewness (in the...

In this data article, an OFFGEL fractionator coupled to LTQ Orbitrap XL MS equipment and a SGD filtering were used to detect in a biofilm-forming flor yeast strain, the maximum possible number of stress proteins under the first stage of a biofilm formation conditions (BFC) and under an initial stage of fermentation used as reference, so-called non-biofilm formation condition (NBFC). Protein fun...

Floodplains are composed of complex depositional patterns of ancient and recent stream sediments, and research is needed to address the manner in which coarse floodplain materials affect stream/groundwater exchange patterns. Efforts to understand the heterogeneity of aquifers have utilized numerous techniques typically focused on point-scale measurements; however, in highly heterogeneous settin...

Software effort estimation is still a significant challenge for software management. Although Functional Size Measurement (FSM) methods have been standardized and have become widely used by the software organizations, the relationship between functional size and development effort still needs further investigation. Most of the studies focus on the project cost drivers and consider total softwar...
