objective: the asmari formation is characterised by alternation thick carbonate and marl sequence of the oligocene- miocene in the zagros basin, southwest of iran that were deposited on the shelf of eastern paratethys. methods: this formation is exposed at tang-e-khoshk in the fars subcoastal zone with a thickness of 286 m comprising alternation of medium and thick to massive bedded carbonates,...

The quantum partition function at finite temperature requires computing the trace of the imaginary time propagator. For numerical and Monte Carlo calculations, the propagator is usually split into its kinetic and potential parts. A higher-order splitting will result in a higher-order convergent algorithm. At imaginary time, the kinetic energy propagator is usually the diffusion Green's function...
