Algebraic Geometry Codes from Castle Curves

The quality of an algebraic geometry code depends on the curve from which the code has been defined. In this paper we consider codes obtained from Castle curves, namely those whose number of rational points attains Lewittes’ bound for some rational point Q and the Weierstrass semigroup at Q is symmetric.

Early Carboniferous (Mississippian) miospore assemblage from Persian Gulf, Southwest Iran

A Mississippian miospore assemblage has been recorded from well A in the Persian Gulf in Iranian offshore, for the first time. Fifteen species of spores have been recognized in the Early Carboniferous assemblage of this well which the most important of them are: Spelaeotriletes arenaceus, Aratrisporites saharaensis, Spelaeotriletes balteatus, Spelaeotriletes triangulus and Radiizonates arcuatus...

Castle Landenberg

In this paper we demonstrate the workflow of 3D modelling and photorealistic texture mapping based on close range imagery acquired with a mini-UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) and in terrestrial mode. For generation of a highly accurate 3D model, a combined photogrammetric processing of these images was required. The conducted workflow consists of the following steps: project planning, flight plan...

Sixth Annual Castle Conference

Syncarid Crustaceans from the Montceau Lagerstätte (upper Carboniferous; France)

Key aspects of the morphology, autecology, systematics and taphonomy of the crustacean syncarids from the Montceau Lagerstätte (Upper Carboniferous, Stephanian B; France) are presented. Palaeocaris secretanae is the most abundant faunal element of the Montceau biota and shows striking morphological similarities with Palaeocaris typus from the Mazon Creek Lagerstätte (Westphalian D; Illinois, US...
