The article presents the results of uranium-lead dating of zircon from fine-grained granite of the Osnytsia block of the Volyn megablock of the Ukrainian Shield. The variety of granites of the Osnitsky complex is manifested starting from their appearance. They are dominated by massive medium-grained rocks, limitedly developed fine-grained, even less common coarse-grained varieties. The age of typical Osnitsky granites, determined by the uranium-lead method according to zircon, is 1980-1950 million years. Granitoids after gabbroids were formed, and their rooting took place in two stages. At the first stage, depending on the physicochemical and tectonic conditions, a whole range of acid rocks was formed – from leptitelike (fine-grained) to large-medium-grained granites. In the second stage, coarse-grained, typical Osnitsky granites took root. One of the most characteristic macroscopic features of Osnitsky granites is that quartz is almost always represented by lilac-gray rounded grains. According to the results of uranium-lead isotope dating, the age of zircon from fine-grained granite is 1973.6 ± 8.4 million years, and 14 ± 24 million years, according to the lower. The weighted average value of the isotopic age in the isotope ratio 207Pb/206Pb is 1969.3 ± 6 million years. The obtained age for zircon from fine-grained granite of the Osnitsky complex corresponds to the time of formation of granites of the Osnitsky block.

3D point cloud completion, the task of inferring the complete geometric shape from a partial point cloud, has been attracting attention in the community. For acquiring high-fidelity dense point clouds and avoiding uneven distribution, blurred details, or structural loss of existing methods' results, we propose a novel approach to complete the partial point cloud in two stages. Specifically, in the first stage, the approach predicts a complete but coarse-grained point cloud with a collection of parametric surface elements. Then, in the second stage, it merges the coarse-grained prediction with the input point cloud by a novel sampling algorithm. Our method utilizes a joint loss function to guide the distribution of the points. Extensive experiments verify the effectiveness of our method and demonstrate that it outperforms the existing methods in both the Earth Mover's Distance (EMD) and the Chamfer Distance (CD).

<p>A significant portion of the Maures-Tanneron Massif (SE branch of the European Variscan Belt) is occupied by late orogenic, anatectic crustal granitoids that were emplaced at ca. 325-300 Ma (Upper Carboniferous)<sup>1,2</sup>. The Camarat granite<sup>3</sup> is one of the smallest representatives of these granitoids (~2.5 km<sup>2</sup>). It is a composite intrusion exposed in migmatitic gneisses of the Maures Massif, along the southern shore of the Saint-Tropez Peninsula. From west to east, it consists of an E-W strip of Ms-Bt-Crd leucogranite where coarse- and fine-grained facies are found in similar amounts, and two bodies of Bt-Ms leucogranite, dominantly coarse-grained.</p><p>Zircon and monazite from two samples of the Camarat granite have been analyzed by LA-ICP-MS for U-Pb dating. Sixteen monazite analyses from the fine-grained facies of the E-W granite strip give a Concordia age of 303.5 ± 1.8 Ma (2 S.E., MSWD = 0.9). Sixteen zircons from the coarse-grained facies of the easternmost intrusion provide a Concordia age of 304.6 ± 2.1 Ma (2 S.E., MSWD = 1.2). The two dates are identical within uncertainty and are considered to constrain crystallization of the Camarat granite at ~304 Ma (Kasimovian–Gzhelian limit).</p><p>Twenty-one measurements of the anisotropy of magnetic susceptibility (AMS) and direct textural quantifications through image analysis (IA) of 10 samples give agreeing results that reveal the fabric orientation in the Camarat granite. The foliation has a variable orientation, with a weighted average of N65°E/26°NNW for the AMS data and N77°E/17°NNW for the IA data (D = 10°). The lineation pattern is more homogeneous, displaying a consistent northerly shallow plunge (mean of N12°E/22°NNE vs. N22°E/20°NNE; D = 10°). The Camarat granite lineations are parallel to lineations in the gneissic country rocks. These were produced during the last Variscan tectonic event evidenced in the area, a partitioned transpression phase, localized along ca. N-S sinistral strike-slip shear zones<sup>4</sup>. It is proposed that the ascent of the Camarat granite was favoured by such strike-slip structures and that pull-aparts represent the sites of emplacement, as best exemplified by the E-W granite strip.</p><p>In the Corso-Sardinian Block, another portion of the SE Variscides formerly juxtaposed to the Maures-Tanneron Massif<sup>5</sup>, a model of progressive transition from orogen-parallel flow (late orogenic, Upper Carboniferous transpression) to orogen-perpendicular extension (post orogenic, Permian rifting) has been recently proposed<sup>6</sup>. Such a model may be extended to other areas of the SE Variscan Belt, in particular to the Maures-Tanneron Massif which is cut and bordered by ca. E-W Permian grabens<sup>7</sup>, implying that a ca. N-S direction of stretching, as recorded by the 304 Ma Camarat granite, was still prevailing in Permian times.</p><p> </p><ol><li>Duchesne et al., Lithos 162-163, 195-220 (2013). 2.

The problem of detecting curves in visual images arises in both computer vision and biological visual systems. Our approach integrates constraints from these two sources and suggests that there are two different stages to curve detection, the first resulting in a local description, and the second in a global one. Each stage involves a different style of computation: in the first stage, hypotheses are represented explicitly and coarsely in a fixed, preconfigured architecture; in the second stage, hypotheses are represented implicitly and more finely in a dynamically constructed architecture. We also show how these stages could be related to physiology, specifying the earlier parts in a relatively fine-grained fashion and the later ones more coarsely.

We present the general architecture of the error annotation system applied to the COPLE2 corpus, a learner corpus of Portuguese implemented on the TEITOK platform. We give a general overview of the corpus and of the TEITOK functionalities and describe how the error annotation is structured in a two-level system: first, a fully manual token-based and coarse-grained annotation is applied and produces a rough classification of the errors in three categories, paired with multi-level information for POS and lemma; second, a multi-word and fine-grained annotation in standoff is then semi-automatically produced based on the first level of annotation. The token-based level has been applied to 47% of the total corpus. We compare our system with other proposals of error annotation, and discuss the fine-grained tag set and the experiments to validate its applicability. An inter-annotator (IAA) experiment was performed on the two stages of our system using Cohen’s kappa and it achieved good results on both levels. We explore the possibilities offered by the tokenlevel error annotation, POS and lemma to automatically generate the fine-grained error tags by applying conversion scripts. The model is planned in such a way as to reduce manual effort and rapidly increase the coverage of the error annotation over the full corpus. As the first learner corpus of Portuguese with error annotation, we expect COPLE2 to support new research in different fields connected with Portuguese as second/foreign language, like Second Language Acquisition/Teaching or Computer Assisted Learning.

Plasticity of ultra-fine grained (UFG) zirconium (grain size ~ 0.4 µm), produced by intensive plastic deformation (IPD) - a combination of extrusion, annealing, and drawing, have been studied within the temperature range 300 – 4.2 K in uniaxial compression. It was found that decrease of grain sizes in the result of IPD leads to considerable increase of strength characteristics for the UFG zirconium in comparison with coarse-grained (CG) zirconium (in 6 times at 300 K and 4 times at 77 K); and plasticity of the UFG zirconium keeps rather large (strain > 0.15). Two stages of the strain-hardening and decrease of the activation volume for plastic flow with deformation have been registered. A conclusion was made about the identity of basic deformation mechanisms in the UFG and CG zirconium: simultaneous action and mutual influence of intragrain dislocation gliding and twinning.

The gold mineralization located in Vetas, Santander, consists of auriferous quartz veins hosted in Bucaramanga gneiss rocks, intrusive Jurassic rocks, and intrusive to porphyritic Miocene rocks. This study identified four mineralizing events: (1). Sericite, carbonate (ankerite and calcite?), massive and microcrystalline quartz, sphalerite, adularia, albite, galena, thin pyrite, pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite. The age for this stage is 10.78 ±0.23Ma (Ar/Ar on sericite). (2). Molybdenite, magnetite with exsolution of ilmenite, As-pyrite, sphalerite, fine-grained pyrite and little chalcopyrite quartz with huge, feathery, fine mosaic, flamboyant and microcrystalline textures and, tourmaline and sericite. (3). Gold and tennantite associated with sphalerite, fine- and coarse-grained pyrite, As-pyrite, chalcopyrite like inclusions, and quartz with flamboyant, mosaic, massive and “comb” textures, and tourmaline. Stage 2 and 3 happened from 7.58 ±0.15 Ma to 6,89±0,41Ma (Ar/Ar on sericite). (4). Thick, thin, and pyrite with arsenic, hematite and microcrystalline quartz (forming breccia texture), and sericite. The age for this stage is 5.24 ±0.10 (Ar/Ar on sericite). Post-mineral: quartz comb, alunite, halloysite, kaolinite, and ferrum hydroxides. The stable isotopes, ∂18O, ∂D, and ∂34S and fluid inclusions analysis infer that fluids were producing a mixture of meteoric and magmatic fluids with low salinity and minimum trapping temperatures between 200°C to 390°C. The mineralogy association, and fluid inclusions, in the first event show characteristic of low sulfidation epithermal. The second stage was hottest and with more magmatic signature over printed an intermediate sulfidation system; show a little more salinity on the fluids and more mineralogical diversity, the third and four events, could show an evolution of this fluid, where it was cooling and impoverishing on metals. Two initials stages are contemporaneous with two magmatic Miocene pulses on the area: the first one of granodiorite composition 10, 9± 0.2 Ma (U/Pb zircon), and the other one rhyodacite with 8.4 ±0.2 y 9.0 ± 0.2 Ma.

B-lymphocytes normally synthesize small amounts of immunoglobulin, some of which is incorporated into the cell membrane where it serves as receptor of antigen. These cells, on contact with specific antigen, proliferate and differentiate to plasma cells which synthesize and secrete large quantities of immunoglobulin. The two stages of differentiation of this cell line (generation of B-lymphocytes and antigen-driven maturation to plasma cells) are clearly separable during ontogeny and in some immune deficiency diseases. The present report describes morphologic aberrations of B-lymphocytes in two diseases in which second stage differentiation is defective.
