Despite being one of the richest Neogene deposits marine fossil vertebrates along Pacific coast South America, no detailed study bony fishes from Bahía Inglesa Formation has been carried out. Through revision historical collections Caldera Paleontological Museum, we describe 27 remains fishes. Fossils described here are distributed in 13 taxa. Among these, Sardinops sp. cf. S. sagax (Clupeidae)...

In parallel with Hugh Darwen, Alexandra Cristea (module organizer) introduces you to the “state of the art” of relational database support in the industry. This takes the form of SQL, the language that was dubbed “intergalactic dataspeak” by database guru Michael Stonebraker in the 1980s (since when its use and its number of implementations have grown enormously). You are strongly encouraged to...

In several recent studies, saccadic eye movements were found to be influenced by concurrent reaching movements. The authors investigated whether that influence originates in limb kinematic or kinetic signals. To dissociate those 2 possibilities, the authors required participants (N = 6) to generate pointing movements with a mass that either resisted or assisted limb motion. With practice, parti...

We begin by considering the process of image formation when a scene is viewed through a camera. The word camera has its origins in the Latin camera and the Greek kamara, both of which refer to a room or a chamber. In particular we will consider image formation through a pinhole camera. This is the dominant image formation model that is studied in computer vision. A pinhole camera is a box in wh...

Abstract The Fast On-line Reaction Apparatus (FORA) was used to investigate the influence of various reaction parameters onto formation and transport metal carbonyl complexes (MCCs) under single-atom chemistry conditions. FORA is based on a 252 Cf-source producing short-lived Mo, Tc, Ru Rh isotopes. Those are recoiling from spontaneous fission source into chamber flushed with gas-mixture contai...
