Optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) signals from quartz can be used to determine when
sedimentary archives were deposited. OSL dating uses the accumulation of energy stored …

Much effort has been focussed on understanding the luminescence properties of natural
minerals to achieve a reliable, accurate and precise dating technique. However, some field …

Field stratigraphy, sedimentology and luminescence dating of the exposed fluvial and aeolian
sequences from the southern desert margin were used to discern the pattern of southwest …

Drosophila taste compounds with gustatory neurons on many parts of the body, suggesting
that a fly detects both the location and quality of a food source. For example, activation of …

We report here a new application of thermoluminescence (TL) for dating sand dunes. This
application assumes that exposure to sunlight causes bleaching of the geological TL of a …

Modern distributed machine learning (ML) training workloads benefit significantly from
leveraging GPUs. However, significant contention ensues when multiple such workloads are run …

The western Sahara Desert in Mauritania is dominated by extensive sand seas consisting
largely of linear dunes. Analyses of Landsat images, geomorphic and stratigraphic studies, …

In luminescence dating, the single grain approach offers a promise for identification of the
most bleached grains for age calculations. A proper interpretation of single grain dose …

The White Sands Dune Field, situated within the Tularosa Basin in southern New Mexico, is
thought to have been largely derived by a stepwise, progressive deflation of Pleistocene …

The geological record of the SE Arabian desert is exhibited in a variety of geomorphic features
and their characteristic sediments, ranging from alluvial fans to inland and coastal dunes …
