Integrated hydrothermal evolution of a Botucatu paleodune and a blanketing lava flow from the Serra Geral Group, Uruguaiana by Leo Afraneo Hartmann, Felipe Padilha Leitzke, Cassiana Roberta Lizzoni Michelin, Melissa Johner, Cristiano de Carvalho Lana

“…The youngest dated zircon grains from the sandstone are 225–300 Ma old (one 175 Ma age), and the main older age peaks are 450–600 Ma (predominant), 900–975 Ma, 1800–1900 Ma, and 2500 Ma; few Archean 2.5 Ga ages. The strongly altered volcanic zircon preserved in the reddened Catalán Flow yields a concordia-intercept age of 137.3 ±7.6 Ma. …”

Deleuze o "Devenir Deleuze". Introducción crítica a su pensamiento by Rafael Gómez Pardo

“…Ahora bien: "devenir Deleuze" implica violentar el código de nuestras habituales representaciones, e in-cluso el código que los deleuzianos le atribuyen a Deleuze. Sólo entonces es posible llegar a esa "zona de indiscernibilidad o de indiferenciación" (línea de fuga) en la que somos deleuzianos, profanando la fábrica de sus conceptos, acaso fabricando otros o, mejor, experimentando el acontecimiento más allá de todos los conceptos. …”

Performance Analysis of Multi-UAV Optical Communication Systems Over Foggy Channel Under M&#x00E1;laga Turbulence and Pointing Error Impairments by Guanjun Xu, Xiaozong Yu, Jialin Wang, Zhaohui Song, Qinyu Zhang

“…However, the system performance of FSO-based UAV communication systems is severely affected by several adverse factors, such as atmospheric turbulence, fog-induced absorption, and pointing errors, all of which result in performance deterioration drastically. This study proposes a multi-UAV optical communication system to suppress the influence of the foggy channel and pointing error impairments under atmospheric turbulence with a M&#x00E1;laga distribution, with both amplify-and-forward (AF) and decode-and-forward (DF) protocols, respectively. …”
