Das Problem der Blattspitzen, die verschiedentlich schon in einem technisch hochentwickelten Acheuléen auftreten, ist augenblicklich ein akutes Thema der prähistorischen Wissenschaft. Ihr Aussehen läßt in der Tat vermuten, daß es sich hierbei um eventuelle Vorläufer der Typen des Solutréen handelt. Diese Industrieformen tauchen in gewissen Zentren auf, die vielleicht am Ursprung der Solutréencivilisation stehen. Da aber bis heute noch keine direkte Ableitung mit Sicherheit hat herausgestellt werden können, verdienen alle weiteren Auskünfte zusammengetragen und zur Kenntnis gebracht zu werden. Diesbezügliche Beobachtungen sind vor kurzem in stratigraphisch eindeutiger Lage im Tal der Aisne (Frankreich) — Abb. 5 — gemacht worden sowie ein interessanter Fund im südlichen Luxemburg (Gutland) — Abb. 1. Diese verhältnismäßig schmalen, langgezogenen Formen scheinen den südlichen Typen (Var) näher zu stehen als den aus Zentraleuropa bekannten Beispielen (Bayern, Tschechoslovakei).researc

Scattering of second sound waves by quantum vorticity
A new method of detection and measurement of quantum vorticity by scattering
second sound off quantized vortices in superfluid Helium is suggested.
Theoretical calculations of the relative amplitude of the scattered second
sound waves from a single quantum vortex, a vortex ring, and bulk vorticity are
presented. The relevant estimates show that an experimental verification of the
method is feasible. Moreover, it can even be used for the detection of a single
quantum vortex.Comment: Latex file, 9 page

Finite Element Simulations of Dynamic Shear Rupture Experiments and Dynamic Path Selection along Kinked and Branched Faults
We analyze the nucleation and propagation of shear cracks along nonplanar, kinked, and branched fault paths corresponding to the configurations used in recent laboratory fracture studies by Rousseau and Rosakis (2003, 2009). The aim is to reproduce numerically those shear rupture experiments and from that provide an insight into processes which are active when a crack, initially propagating in mode II along a straight path, interacts with a bend in the fault or a branching junction. The experiments involved impact loading of thin Homalite-100 (a photoelastic polymer) plates, which had been cut along bent or branched paths and weakly glued back together everywhere except along a starter notch near the impact site. Strain gage recordings and high-speed photography of isochromatic lines provided characterization of the transient deformation fields associated with the impact and fracture propagation. We found that dynamic explicit 2-D plane-stress finite element analyses with a simple linear slip-weakening description of cohesive and frictional strength of the bonded interfaces can reproduce the qualitative rupture behavior past the bend and branch junctions in most cases and reproduce the principal features revealed by the photographs of dynamic isochromatic line patterns. The presence of a kink or branch can cause an abrupt change in rupture propagation velocity. Additionally, the finite element results allow comparison between total slip accumulated along the main and inclined fault segments. We found that slip along inclined faults can be substantially less than slip along the main fault, and the amount depends on the branch angle and kink or branch configuration.Earth and Planetary SciencesEngineering and Applied Science
Probing quantum and classical turbulence analogy through global bifurcations in a von K\'arm\'an liquid Helium experiment
We report measurements of the dissipation in the Superfluid Helium high
REynold number von Karman flow (SHREK) experiment for different forcing
conditions, through a regime of global hysteretic bifurcation. Our
macroscopical measurements indicate no noticeable difference between the
classical fluid and the superfluid regimes, thereby providing evidence of the
same dissipative anomaly and response to asymmetry in fluid and superfluid
regime. %In the latter case, A detailed study of the variations of the
hysteretic cycle with Reynolds number supports the idea that (i) the stability
of the bifurcated states of classical turbulence in this closed flow is partly
governed by the dissipative scales and (ii) the normal and the superfluid
component at these temperatures (1.6K) are locked down to the dissipative
length scale.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Vocal development in a large‐scale crosslinguistic corpus
This study evaluates whether early vocalizations develop in similar ways in children across diverse cultural contexts. We analyze data from daylong audio recordings of 49 children (1–36 months) from five different language/cultural backgrounds. Citizen scientists annotated these recordings to determine if child vocalizations contained canonical transitions or not (e.g., “ba” vs. “ee”). Results revealed that the proportion of clips reported to contain canonical transitions increased with age. Furthermore, this proportion exceeded 0.15 by around 7 months, replicating and extending previous findings on canonical vocalization development but using data from the natural environments of a culturally and linguistically diverse sample. This work explores how crowdsourcing can be used to annotate corpora, helping establish developmental milestones relevant to multiple languages and cultures. Lower inter‐annotator reliability on the crowdsourcing platform, relative to more traditional in‐lab expert annotators, means that a larger number of unique annotators and/or annotations are required, and that crowdsourcing may not be a suitable method for more fine‐grained annotation decisions. Audio clips used for this project are compiled into a large‐scale infant vocalization corpus that is available for other researchers to use in future work
