Holocene depositional history of the Burdekin River delta of northeastern Australia: A model for a low-accommodation, highstand delta

The Burdekin River of northeastern Australia has constructed a substantial delta during the Holocene (delta plain area 1260 km2). The vertical succession through this delta comprises (1) a basal, coarse-grained transgressive lag overlying a continental omission surface, overlain by (2) a mud interval deposited as the coastal region was inundated by the postglacially rising sea, in turn overlain by (3) a generally sharp-based sand unit deposited principally in channel and mouth-bar environments with lesser volumes of floodplain and coastal facies. The Holocene Burdekin Delta was constructed as a series of at least thirteen discrete delta lobes, formed as the river avulsed. Each lobe consists of a composite sand body typically 5-8 m thick. The oldest lobes, formed during the latter stages of the postglacial sea-level rise (10-5.5 kyr BP), are larger than those formed during the highstand (5.5-3 kyr BP), which are in turn larger than those formed during the most recent slight sea-level lowering and stillstand (3-0 kyr BP). Radiocarbon ages and other stratigraphic data indicate that inter-avulsion period has decreased through time coincident with the decrease in delta lobe area. The primary control on Holocene delta architecture appears to have been a change from a pluvial climate known to characterize the region 12-4 kyr BP to the present drier, ENSO-dominated climate. In addition to decreasing the sediment supply via lower rates of chemical weathering, this change may have contributed to the shorter avulsion period by facilitating extreme variability of discharge. More frequent avulsion may also have been facilitated by the lengthening of the delta-plain channels as the system prograded seaward. Copyright © 2006, SEPM (Society for Sedimentary Geology).

AVALIAÇÃO DA COMPRESSÃO DA IMAGEM DIGITAL DA TELERRADIOGRAFIA LATERAL NA REPRODUTIBILIDADE DA MARCAÇÃO DE PONTOS CEFALOMÉTRICOS

A imagem digital adquirida pelo sistema da placa de fósforo foto ativada é visualizada no monitor do computador em um formato denominado DICOM. Este formato ocupa muito espaço para armazenamento, o que dificulta o arquivamento e transmissão da imagem pela Internet. O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar a influência da compressão JPEG, nos Fatores de Qualidade 100, 80 e 60 na reprodutibilidade da marcação de pontos cefalométricos em imagens de telerradiografias em norma lateral comparadas com o formato DICOM. A amostra consistiu de 120 imagens de telerradiografias em norma lateral obtidas a partir de 30 indivíduos, dos quais se obteve uma radiografia digital no formato DICOM. Essas imagens foram convertidas para o formato JPEG. Após o cegamento e randomização da amostra, três Ortodontistas calibrados marcaram a localização de 12 pontos cefalométricos em cada imagem utilizando o sistema de coordenadas X e Y. Esse procedimento foi repetido após 1 mês. A reprodutibilidade intra e inter observador foi calculada usando o teste de correlação intraclasse. Para comparação entre os grupos de compressão e DICOM na reprodutibilidade de marcação dos pontos utilizou se a Análise de Variância (ANOVA) a um critério para medidas repetidas. Os resultados mostraram que as marcações dos pontos cefalométricos foram bastante reprodutíveis, exceto para o ponto Órbita na coordenada X. Os diferentes formatos de arquivo mostraram estatisticamente iguais para cada ponto e eixo aferido. As compressões JPEG estudadas das imagens de telerradiografias em norma lateral não tiveram efeito na reprodutibilidade da marcação dos pontos cefalométricos testados.

Natural gradient matrix momentum

Natural gradient learning is an efficient and principled method for improving on-line learning. In practical applications there will be an increased cost required in estimating and inverting the Fisher information matrix. We propose to use the matrix momentum algorithm in order to carry out efficient inversion and study the efficacy of a single step estimation of the Fisher information matrix. We analyse the proposed algorithm in a two-layer network, using a statistical mechanics framework which allows us to describe analytically the learning dynamics, and compare performance with true natural gradient learning and standard gradient descent.

Multimodal spectral control of a quantum-dot diode laser for THz difference frequency generation

Generation of stable dual and/or multiple longitudinal modes emitted from a single quantum dot (QD) laser diode (LD) over a broad wavelength range by using volume Bragg gratings (VBG's) in an external cavity setup is reported. The LD operates in both the ground and excited states and the gratings give a dual-mode separation around each emission peak of 5 nm, which is suitable as a continuous wave (CW) optical pump signal for a terahertz (THz) photomixer device. The setup also generates dual modes around both 1180m and 1260 nm simultaneously, giving four simultaneous narrow linewidth modes comprising two simultaneous difference frequency pump signals.
