The Thakkhola graben is a large-scale N-S striking, E-W extensional structure located in west-central Nepal that previous work has shown was actively developing ~ 17 Myr ago. New multi-system geochronological data from the immediate footwall of the Dangardzong fault, the main graben-forming structure in the Thakkhola, outline decelerating cooling paths. The average cooling rate in the footwall of the Dangardzong fault changes from 55 ± 5 ˚C/Ma in the early Miocene (~ 22-13) defined by monazite U-Th/Pb pluton crystallization ages, mica 40Ar/39Ar cooling ages and zircon U-Th/He ages, to 18 ± 7 ˚C/Ma in the middle to late Miocene (~13-8 Ma) between zircon and apatite U-Th/He ages, and finally to 6 ± 3 ˚C/Ma from the late Miocene to present day (cooling post apatite U-Th/He closure). The changing cooling rate is interpreted to reflect the widespread development of graben in the Tibetan plateau beginning in the middle Miocene and the progressive partitioning of strain away from the Thakkhola

Pseudotachylytes in felsic lower-crustal rocks of the Calabrian Serre massif: A record of deep- or shallow-crustal earthquakes?
No full textPseudotachylytes (quenched frictional melts produced on a fault by seismic slip) in dry rocks exhumed from the mid-lower crust are potential indicators of earthquakes that either nucleated at, or propagated to, depths below the main shallow brittle-ductile transition zone. Establishing whether these pseudotachylytes effectively record deep-crustal earthquakes, or shallow-level earthquakes overprinting the mid-lower-crustal rocks during the exhumation path, may represent a major challenge. This challenge is mainly related to the fact that the mineral assemblage of a pseudotachylyte develops out of equilibrium during the coseismic thermal transient leading to melting and melt quenching. Here we investigate pseudotachylytes within peraluminous, sillimanite-garnet-rich, migmatitic paragneiss of the Serre Massif in Calabria (Southern Italy). These exhumed lower-crustal rocks experienced granulite-facies metamorphism (similar to 700-800 degree celsius; similar to 600-800 MPa), partial melting and dehydration during the late Variscan Orogeny (ca. 320-280 Ma). The crosscutting pseudotachylytes contain hercynite and sillimanite microlites, globular-shaped poikilitic cordierite and plagioclase, and rare cauliflower- to subhedral-shaped garnet. The pseudotachylytes are pristine, not affected by ductile deformation, recrystallisation or extensive alteration by fluid after their formation. A Rb-Sr isochron age of 51.4 +/- 5.1 Ma is obtained for the pervasively kinked biotite in the host rock immediately adjacent to the pseudotachylyte and associated with earthquake damage, while an age of 105.3 +/- 4.1 Ma is obtained for the undeformed host-rock biotite. This indicates that the granulites were cooler than the closing Rb-Sr temperature of biotite (ca. 300-400 degree celsius in the Cretaceous and that the studied pseudotachylytes formed by shallow seismic faulting. Therefore, sillimanite, hercynite, garnet, plagioclase, and cordierite all formed during quenching of the frictional melt well above the ambient temperature. Modelling of cordierite growth during melt quenching indicates that cordierite should have started to crystallise at T >900 degrees C to achieve the grain size (up to 10 mu m in diameter) observed in the pseudotachylyte. Modelling and microstructural observations allow the crystallisation sequence of microlites during melt cooling to be established. These microlites include cauliflower garnet which, in this case, did not develop in a deep-seated faulting context as commonly reported

005 - Kyle Singer
No full textI highlight the importance of flaws, trauma, and repression by evoking concepts of “the unconscious” through surrealist methodologies. Considering all that is suppressed/repressed within my psyche to form the culturally accepted version of myself, and by examining the distance between my identity, and the repressed self. Engaging the viewers through superabundance, tackling issues of consumerism with construction that grapples with the excess of daily life. I question aesthetic value, moral responsibility, and political agency in my efforts to sublimate the abject. The abject touches on the fragility of our boundaries and the spatial distinction between our interiority and exteriority. My art stems from an insatiable appetite for new materials and compulsive ways I can explore new methods and processes. The impetus for my work is a cultural and political critique imbued with my own flavor of cynicism and disillusionment. I endeavor to destabilize perceptions by creating overwhelming masses of matter and meaning; meant to be all-consuming. This non-hierarchical kind of making causes a slow unraveling of my work allowing for an unpredictable composition and use of materials.The abject deals with a vast array of issues such as marginalized people, mortality, boundaries, and repulsion. It is usually used to describe the human reaction to horror and threatens to breakdown meaning by causing the loss of distinction between subject and object; between self and other. In an era of mass displacement due to natural and political disasters, this conceptually interest me and seem particularly relevant. The abject calls into question hierarchical values that allows for the dispersion and displacement of people: whether it be refugees, or low in-come families pushed out by gentrification. In the age of information, we have become incredibly efficient at codifying people and separating them from their personhood and seeing them only as replaceable objects with a set value; as a cluster of information to be used and exploited for profits. I plan to continue exploring the possibilities of media combination and new technologies. I am currently working with laser cutting, 3D printing, 3D scanning and the CNC machine. I am trying to explore new ways of misusing the machinery as a chance operation that allows the ebbs, flows, and limitations of the process itself to become a way of making. These new processes drastically change the way we think about construction and the possibilities of form. It blurs the boundaries between the hand-made and the mass-produced, dovetailing nicely with my ideas of consumerist cultural critique.College of Liberal Arts - Highest Achievement - Visual and Performing Arts
Using a Semiprognostic Test to Elucidate Key Model Errors of Warm Rain Processes Within a Unified Parameterization of Clouds and Turbulence
No full textThe representation of clouds and turbulence remains one of the foremost challenges in modeling earth's climate system and continues to remain one of the greatest sources of uncertainty in future climate projections. Increased attention has been given to unifying cloud and turbulence parameterizations in order to avoid the artificial categorization of cloud and turbulence regimes. One such unified parameterization is known as the Cloud Layers Unified by Binormals (CLUBB). CLUBB is a single column model of clouds and turbulence that assumes subgrid scale variability can be represented by a joint probability density function (PDF) of temperature, moisture, momentum, and hydrometeors. An advantage of CLUBB's joint-PDF is that it allows for the interaction of microphysics and subgrid variability which may be important in unified parameterizations. In order to improve any parameterization, like CLUBB, 'key' model errors must first be diagnosed. This is complicated by numerous feedbacks within the model. In order to elucidate 'key' errors in CLUBB's representation of warm-rain processes, a semiprognostic test was performed in which CLUBB's joint-PDF was supplied with 'perfect' moments derived from a cloud resolving model. An idealized case of the transition from shallow to deep convection over land was used. It was shown that CLUBB's assumed correlations between hydrometeors play a major role in CLUBB's microphysical budgets. It was also shown that for highly skewed cases, CLUBB's current joint-PDF closure may inadequately represent the marginals of the subgrid scale atmopheric state. Finally, CLUBB's assumption that the skewness of temperature and moisture are proportional to the skewness of vertical velocity may break down in highly skewed cases such as the one tested here

Linoleic acid causes greater weight gain than saturated fat without hypothalamic inflammation in the male mouse
No full textA significant change in the Western diet, concurrent with the obesity epidemic, was a substitution of saturated fatty acids with polyunsaturated, specifically linoleic acid (LA). Despite increasing investigation on type as well as amount of fat, it is unclear which fatty acids are most obesogenic. The objective of this study was to determine the obesogenic potency of LA vs. saturated fatty acids and the involvement of hypothalamic inflammation. Forty-eight mice were divided into four groups: low-fat or three high-fat diets (HFDs, 45% kcals from fat) with LA comprising 1%, 15% and 22.5% of kilocalories, the balance being saturated fatty acids. Over 12 weeks, bodyweight, body composition, food intake, calorimetry, and glycemia assays were performed. Arcuate nucleus and blood were collected for mRNA and protein analysis. All HFD-fed mice were heavier and less glucose tolerant than control. The diet with 22.5% LA caused greater bodyweight gain, decreased activity, and insulin resistance compared to control and 1% LA. All HFDs elevated leptin and decreased ghrelin in plasma. Neuropeptides gene expression was higher in 22.5% HFD. The inflammatory gene Ikk was suppressed in 1% and 22.5% LA. No consistent pattern of inflammatory gene expression was observed, with suppression and augmentation of genes by one or all of the HFDs relative to control. These data indicate that, in male mice, LA induces obesity and insulin resistance and reduces activity more than saturated fat, supporting the hypothesis that increased LA intake may be a contributor to the obesity epidemic.Peer reviewe
