Present-day stress orientations and tectonic provinces of the NW Borneo collisional margin
No full textExtent: 15p.Borehole failure observed on image and dipmeter logs from 55 petroleum wells across the NW Borneo collisional margin were used to determine maximum horizontal stress (σH) orientations; combined with seismic and outcrop data, they define seven tectonic provinces. The Baram Delta–Deepwater Fold-Thrust Belt exhibits three tectonic provinces: its inner shelf inverted province (σH is NW-SE, margin-normal), its outer shelf extension province (σH is NE-SW, margin-parallel), and its slope to basin floor compression province (σH is NW-SE, margin-normal). In the inverted province, σH reflects inversion of deltaic normal faults. The σH orientations in the extension and compression provinces reflect deltaic gravitational tectonics. The shale and minibasin provinces have been recognized in offshore Sabah. In the shale province, σH is N010°E, which aligns around the boundary of a massif of mobile shale. Currently, no data are available to determine σH in the minibasin province. In the Balingian province, σH is ESE-WNW, reflecting ESE absolute Sunda plate motions due to the absence of a thick detachment seen elsewhere in NW Borneo. The Central Luconia province demonstrates poorly constrained and variable σH orientations. These seven provinces result from the heterogeneous structural and stratigraphic development of the NW Borneo margin and formed due to complex collisional tectonics and the varied distribution and thicknesses of stratigraphic packages.Rosalind C.

Open access self-archiving: An author study
No full textThis, our second author international, cross-disciplinary study on open access had 1296 respondents. Its focus was on self-archiving. Almost half (49%) of the respondent population have self-archived at least one article during the last three years. Use of institutional repositories for this purpose has doubled and usage has increased by almost 60% for subject-based repositories. Self-archiving activity is greatest amongst those who publish the largest number of papers. There is still a substantial proportion of authors unaware of the possibility of providing open access to their work by self-archiving. Of the authors who have not yet self-archived any articles, 71% remain unaware of the option. With 49% of the author population having self-archived in some way, this means that 36% of the total author population (71% of the remaining 51%), has not yet been appraised of this way of providing open access. Authors have frequently expressed reluctance to self-archive because of the perceived time required and possible technical difficulties in carrying out this activity, yet findings here show that only 20% of authors found some degree of difficulty with the first act of depositing an article in a repository, and that this dropped to 9% for subsequent deposits. Another author worry is about infringing agreed copyright agreements with publishers, yet only 10% of authors currently know of the SHERPA/RoMEO list of publisher permissions policies with respect to self-archiving, where clear guidance as to what a publisher permits is provided. Where it is not known if permission is required, however, authors are not seeking it and are self-archiving without it. Communicating their results to peers remains the primary reason for scholars publishing their work; in other words,
researchers publish to have an impact on their field. The vast majority of authors (81%) would willingly comply with a mandate from their employer or research funder to deposit copies of their articles in an institutional or subject-based repository. A further 13% would comply reluctantly; 5% would not comply with such a mandate

Nascioides caledonicus Williams & Bellamy, 2002, sp. nov.
No full textNascioides caledonicus sp. nov. Figures 1, 2, 3 Description of holotype. Size: 8.2 x 3.8 mm. Colour: head and pronotum black with a strong green reflection; median longitudinal portion of vertex and pronotum nitid black with purple reflection; elytra black with large punctures in regular striae iridescent green; legs and underside a deep, iridescent green. Shape and sculpture: head vaguely flattened between eyes, with the exception of a slightly projecting impunctate transverse area midpoint between eyes; distal clypeal margin feebly emarginate medially; sparsely and feebly punctate, individual punctures wellseparated. Antennae with antennomere 1 elongate, stout, swollen apically, longer than 2 + 3; 2 very short, globose; 3 longer than 2, shorter than 4, sides subparallel; serrate from 4; 4 longer than following individual segments; 11 oblong, subparallel. Pronotum widest at lateroposterior angles; posterior angles acute; disc flattened medially, slightly rounded laterally. Scutellum deeply impressed, granulose. Elytra wider than pronotum, widest opposite humeri; coarsely, regularly punctatostriate, intervening spaces rugulose; costae very flattened; lateral margins serrate in apical 1 / 2; each apex with one distinct lateral tooth; posterior epipleural apex with small acute tooth. Head, pronotum and elytra without visible pubescence; antennae, legs and ventral surface with sparse to moderately dense covering of adpressed setae, which appear silvery but are possibly translucent. Ventral surface, including legs, densely setose, prosternum, mesosternum, metasternum, and pronotal hypomeron more so; last abdominal segment in male and female rounded medioapically between two lateroapical spines. Tarsi with tarsomere 1 slightly longer than 2, 3 shorter than 2, 4 shorter than 3, 5 subequal to 2; 1 4 each with distal pulvillus, pulvilli of 3 and 4 strongly developed, projecting distally, pulvillus of 4 bilobed distally; 5 narrow, elongate, claws widely separated, strongly swollen basally, recurved apically. Aedeagus as in Fig. 3. 1 3 2 Variation. Size: 8.7 9. 1 x 2.7 2.9 mm. Other than size, the only significant differ- ence is that the female antennae are shorter in proportion to those of the male holotype, with each of the respective antennomeres being slightly shorter in proportion to width.

The specific epithet is for the country of origin. Remarks. This new species is not particularly close to any of the Australian or the single New Zealand species of Nascioides due to the rather reduced sculpture of the dorsal surface. Being concolorus, it falls out in the first half of the key by Williams (1987). It superficially resembles N. multesimus (Olliff, 1886) and N. falsomutesimu s Williams, 1987, but may be more closely related to N. viridis (Macleay, 1872). It differs by having the punctation of the pronotum more simple and less dense, and the elytra have uniform, feebly elevated costae rather than the more typical sharp-edged carinae found in the Australian species. In addition, N. viridis has an almost asperate pronotal punctation and one very noticeably elevated presutural carina. The condition of the subapical spines are distinct and are illustrated in Fig. 2.Published as part of Williams, Geoff & Bellamy, Charles L., 2002, New species and new records for the genus Nascioides Kerremans, 1903 (Insecta: Coleoptera: Buprestidae), pp. 1-9 in Zootaxa 58 on pages 2-4, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.15589

A 15-nW per Sensor Interference-Immune Readout IC for Capacitive Touch Sensors
No full textThis paper presents a readout IC that uses an asynchronous capacitance-to-digital-converter (CDC) to digitize the capacitance of a touch sensor. A power-efficient tracking algorithm ensures that the CDC consumes negligible power consumption in the absence of touch events. To facilitate its use in wake-on-touch applications, the CDC can be periodically triggered by a co-integrated ultra-low-power relaxation oscillator. At a 38-Hz scan rate, the readout IC consumes 15 nW per touch sensor, which is the lowest reported to date.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Electronic InstrumentationMicroelectronic
