description: We revisit the popular notion of effective or renormalized charge, which is a concept of central importance in the field of highly charged colloidal or polyelectrolyte solutions. Working at the level of a linear Debye-Hückel like theory only, we propose a simple, efficient and versatile method to predict the saturated amount of charge renormalization, which is however a non-linear effect arising at strong electrostatic coupling. The results are successfully tested against the numerical solutions of Poisson-Boltzmann theory for polyions of various shapes (planar, cylindrical and spherical), both in the infinite dilution limit or in confined geometry, with or without added electrolyte. Our approach, accurate for monovalent micro-ions in solvents like water, is finally confronted against experimental results, namely the crystallization of charged colloidal suspensions and the osmotic coefficient of B-DNA solutions.

description: The high energy blazar, Markarian 501 was observed as a part of multi-instrument and multiwavelength campaign spanning the whole electromagnetic spectrum for 4.5 months during March 15 to August 1, 2009. On May 1, Whipple 10m telescope observed a very strong $γ$-ray flare in a time interval of about 0.5 h. Apart from this flare, high state and low state emissions were also observed by Whipple, VERITAS and MAGIC telescopes. Using the photohadronic model and accounting for the absorption of the extragalactic background light (EBL) to these very high energy $γ$-rays, excellent fits are obtained for the observed spectra. We have shown that the intrinsic spectrum for low state emission is flat, however, for high and very high states this is a power-law with slowly increasing exponent.

description: In the analysis of stated preferences studies, it is often assumed that protesting is a discretely measured item only occurring among those who are not willing to pay. However, various studies have recently shown that protest beliefs are as well held by respondents who state a positive willingness to pay (WTP). Using latent class (LC) models, we investigate the extent of heterogeneity with respect to protest beliefs among all respondents of two contingent valuation studies. The advantage of LC models is that classes of individuals are endogenously identified and no selection bias is introduced by ad hoc definitions of protesters. Further we investigate whether it is possible to identify a class of non-protesters. Finding a group of pure non-protesters could indicate how strongly stated WTP in the whole sample is affected by protest beliefs. For both samples, we find a class with strong protest beliefs but no pure non-protest class. Overall, our results suggest that LC models might not be the first choice to determine unbiased WTP measures, but they provide valuable insights into the degree of protesting expressed by different groups and corresponding determinants of group membership.

description: Human vaccines against several common foodborne pathogens are being developed and could substantially alter consumer and producer behaviour in the markets for foods commonly afflicted by these pathogens. To understand the possible impacts of such an innovation, we derive and calibrate a partial-equilibrium model using parameters for consumer vaccine uptake from stated-preference work under an array of assumptions concerning industry moral hazard, consumer awareness and alternative preventive effort exercised by consumers. We simulate three scenarios in the U.S. beef sector: the introduction of a vaccine, the tightening of pathogen standards for beef production and the simultaneous introduction of both vaccinations and tighter standards. Our simulation shows that all policies can increase aggregate surplus given most calibrations; though, the largest effects are attributed to vaccine introductions, which reduce expected damages from foodborne illness among vaccinated consumers without shifting firm costs. However, unaware consumers and aware consumers who choose not to vaccinate experience no change in expected damages when a vaccine is introduced but face a higher price of food because of the stronger demand of food from vaccinated consumers.

description: We describe intersecting M5-branes, as well as M5-branes wrapping the holomorphic curve xy=c, in terms of a limit of a defect conformal field theory with two-dimensional (4,0) supersymmetry. This dCFT describes the low-energy theory of intersecting D3-branes at a C^2/Z_k orbifold. In an appropriate k -> infinity limit, two compact spatial directions are generated. By identifying moduli of the M5-M5 intersection in terms of those of the dCFT, we argue that the SU(2)_L R-symmetry of the (4,0) defect CFT matches the SU(2) R-symmetry of the N =2, d=4 theory of the M5-M5 intersection. We find a 't Hooft anomaly in the SU(2)_L R-symmetry, suggesting that tensionless strings give rise to an anomaly in the SU(2) R-symmetry of intersecting M5-branes.

description: Water policy in the Murray-Darling Basin continues to be dominated by the trade-offs between agricultural and environmental interests. This has recently been played out with the acrimonious debate that circumscribed the release of the Guide to the Murray- Darling Basin Plan. In this paper, we argue that too much emphasis has been placed on the volume of held water as an indicator of environmental benefit. We also contend that there is an attendant presumption of linearity in the relationship between volumes of held water and environmental benefit which could lead to perverse outcomes. A second problem is that there is too much enthusiasm for contemplating the solutions to water management problems as residing primarily at the federal level of government. These factors stand to ultimately limit the efficient delivery of environmental objectives.
On Equilibrium Metropolis Simulations on Self-Organized Urban Street Networks

description: Urban street networks of unplanned or self-organized cities typically exhibit astonishing scale-free patterns. This scale-freeness can be shown, within the maximum entropy formalism (MaxEnt), as the manifestation of a fluctuating system that preserves on average some amount of information. Monte Carlo methods that can further this perspective are cruelly missing. Here we adapt to self-organized urban street networks the Metropolis algorithm. The "coming to equilibrium" distribution is established with MaxEnt by taking scale-freeness as prior hypothesis along with symmetry-conservation arguments. The equilibrium parameter is the scaling; its concomitant extensive quantity is, assuming our lack of knowledge, an amount of information. To design an ergodic dynamics, we disentangle the state-of-the-art street generating paradigms based on nonoverlapping walks into layout-at-junction dynamics. Our adaptation reminisces the single-spin-flip Metropolis algorithm for Ising models. We thus expect Metropolis simulations to reveal that self-organized urban street networks, besides sustaining scale-freeness over a wide range of scalings, undergo a crossover as scaling varies -- literature argues for a small-world crossover. Simulations for Central London are consistent against the state-of-the-art outputs over a realistic range of scaling exponents. Our illustrative Watts-Strogatz phase diagram with scaling as rewiring parameter demonstrates a small-world crossover curving within the realistic window 2-3; it also shows that the state-of-the-art outputs underlie relatively large worlds. Our Metropolis adaptation to self-organized urban street networks thusly appears as a scaling variant of the Watts-Strogatz model. Such insights may ultimately allow the urban profession to anticipate self-organization or unplanned evolution of urban street networks.

title: Pragmatic Language Ability in Autism
Creators: name: Malkin, Louise
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: Difficulty with certain areas of pragmatic language, for example engaging in back and forth conversation, are part of the diagnostic criteria for autism. That said, not all autistic children display every symptom described within these criteria. In addition, pragmatic language comprises a relatively heterogeneous set of skills. Hence, an impairment may not be present across all pragmatic language abilities for autistic individuals. Where difficulty does exist, the associated cognitive underpinnings are unclear. This thesis mainly focuses on one key pragmatic language skill, verbal reference, that is, the ability to identify the entity that is currently of interest between interlocutors via spoken language. In Chapter 2, broader pragmatic ability in autistic children is also examined using a parent report measure (the CCC-2). The findings of chapter 3, 4 and 5 indicate that autistic children are less able than well-matched typically developing peers to produce verbal reference that is tailored to listener needs. Chapters 3 and 4, however, suggest aspects of verbal reference interpretation are intact. Finally, chapters 2, 4 and 5 indicate that pragmatic language difficulties in autism, in particular the production of verbal reference, may be more related to executive functioning than social cognition ability. In sum, pragmatic language impairment might not be uniform within all areas of pragmatic language in autism. Categorising pragmatic abilities based upon the cognitive skills they recruit may improve understanding of areas of autistic strength and weakness in this diverse skill set.

description: In this study, a general model of annual jute acreage is developed, based on the assumptions of lagged adjustment of actual to desired area, and "naive" price expectations. A number of different formulations see examined empirically in order to arrive at the particular general model. The results of fitting this model to data from the three major producing countries-Bangladesh India, and Thailand indicate that jute garage is indeed quite responsive to changing economic factors. The elastic nature of jute acreage to prices, both of jute and of rice or other alternative crops, is an important aspect of the world jute market. The analysis suggests that the principal determinant of area under jute in these countries is the jute farmer's expectations of the relative price of jute compared to the alternative crops, which is largely determined by is preceding year's prices.

description: We consider a class of Hamiltonians with three degrees of freedom that can be mapped into quasi-periodically driven pendulums. The purpose of this paper is to determine the threshold of the break-up of invariant tori with a specific frequency vector. We apply two techniques: the frequency map analysis and renormalization-group methods. The renormalization transformation acting on a Hamiltonian is a canonical change of coordinates which is a combination of a partial elimination of the irrelevant modes of the Hamiltonian and a rescaling of phase space around the considered torus. We give numerical evidence that the critical coupling at which the renormalization transformation starts to diverge is the same as the value given by the frequency map analysis for the break-up of invariant tori. Furthermore, we obtain by these methods numerical values of the threshold of the break-up of the last invariant torus.

POSTHARVEST PADDY PROCESSING IN BANGLADESH: IS MECHANIZATION NEEDED AT FARM LEVEL?

Subjects: Research and Development/Tech Change/Emerging Technologies

description: The analysis in this paper provides indicative evidences of low foodgrain loss and labour requirement in postharvest processing of aus paddy by traditional methods in some selected farms of Bangladesh. The reasons for low food loss lie in the relative efficiency of small-scale farming in managing the postharvest operations. This tends to limit the scope for probable modernized loss reducing technologies at farm level. Possibilities for saving labour by modernized postharvest technologies too do not appear to be substantial since the labour requirement in all the operations, except husking, is already low under the existing traditional technologies and the use of zero-or low-cost family labour is also high. Failures to popularize the natural draught dries in the study area may be attributed mainly to higher costs of labour, fuel and fixed capital. Contrarily, the increasing expansion of the rice huller technology, the only commercial type modernized technology in the rural postharvest sector in Bangladesh, is mainly due to the higher labour requirement in the alternative traditional husking technologies. Development programmes should be undertaken to alleviate the adverse effects of labour displacing technologies, such as rice hullers, on the employment and income of the rural poor.

description: Let $G$ a semisimple Lie group of non-compact type and let $\mathcal{X}_G$ be the Riemannian symmetric space associated to it. Suppose $\mathcal{X}_G$ has dimension $n$ and it has no factor isometric to either $\mathbb{H}^2$ or $\text{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})/\text{SO}(3)$. Given a closed $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold $N$, let $Γ=π_1(N)$ be its fundamental group and $Y$ its universal cover. Consider a representation $ρ:Γ\rightarrow G$ with a measurable $ρ$-equivariant map $ψ:Y \rightarrow \mathcal{X}_G$. Connell-Farb described a way to construct a map $F:Y\rightarrow \mathcal{X}_G$ which is smooth, $ρ$-equivariant and with uniformly bounded Jacobian. In this paper we extend the construction of Connell-Farb to the context of measurable cocycles. More precisely, if $(Ω,μ_Ω)$ is a standard Borel probability $Γ$-space, let $σ:Γ\times Ω\rightarrow G$ be a measurable cocycle. We construct a measurable map $F: Y \times Ω\rightarrow \mathcal{X}_G$ which is $σ$-equivariant, whose slices are smooth and they have uniformly bounded Jacobian. For such equivariant maps we define also the notion of volume and we prove a sort of mapping degree theorem in this particular context.

description: Local(multiplicative) effective potential energy theories of electronic structure comprise the transformation of the Schr{ö}dinger equation for interacting fermi systems to model noninteracting fermi or bose systems whereby the equivalent density and energy are obtained. By employing the integrated form of the Kato electron-nucleus cusp condition, we prove that the effective electron -interaction potential energy of these model fermions or bosons is finite at a nucleus. The proof is general and valid for arbitrary system whether it be atomic, molecular, or solid state, and for arbitrary state and symmetry. This then provides justification for all prior work in the literature based on the assumption of finiteness of this potential energy at a nucleus. We further demonstrate the criticality of the electron-nucleus cusp condition to such theories by example of the Hydrogen molecule. We show thereby that both model system effective electron-interaction potential energies, as determined from densities derived from accurate wave functions, will be singular at the nucleus unless the wave function satisfies the electron-nucleus cusp condition.

description: The interplay of structural and electronic phases in iron-based superconductors is a central theme in the search for the superconducting pairing mechanism. While electronic nematicity, defined as the breaking of four-fold symmetry triggered by electronic degrees of freedom, is competing with superconductivity, the effect of purely structural orthorhombic order is unexplored. Here, using x-ray diffraction (XRD), we reveal a new structural orthorhombic phase with an exceptionally high onset temperature ($T_\mathrm{ort} \sim 250$ K), which coexists with superconductivity ($T_\mathrm{c} = 25$ K), in an electron-doped iron-pnictide superconductor far from the underdoped region. Furthermore, our angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) measurements demonstrate the absence of electronic nematic order as the driving mechanism, in contrast to other underdoped iron pnictides where nematicity is commonly found. Our results establish a new, high temperature phase in the phase diagram of iron-pnictide superconductors and impose strong constraints for the modeling of their superconducting pairing mechanism.

description: The deficiencies that epitomize the weakness of the Bangladesh agricultural research system are: (i) Organizational difficulties; (ii) Lack of physical facilities and inadequate funding ; (iii) Low level skill and ineffective training ; (iv) Insufficient linkage between research, extension and farmers. Agricultural research has experienced uneven and isolated advance and its limited achievements are confined to cereals. Research on jute and sugarcane remains neglected. Low research intensity and priority bear the mark of ill-conceived policy framework. " For sustained agricultural productivity growth, the study suggests that agricultural research be made broadbased by: {i) intensifying research on varietal improvement of jute, rice, wheat and sugarcane for wide scale adaptability. (ii) extending the sphere of research activity to undertake research on end-use of jute, adaptation and indigenous development of mechanical and chemical innovation for effective realization of potential of biological innovations. This would involve reorganization of the research system, well-defined priorities and substantial investment on research.

 Callochiton clausadei Kaas & Van Belle 1985: 42, fig. 17 (incorrect denomination, emended by Kaas 1986). Callochiton clausadeae; Dell’Angelo et al. 2004: 51, pl. 3, figs 1–3 (bibliography and synonymy).
 Type: MNHN (holotype + seven paratypes), RMNH K 4993 /1 (paratype).
 Type locality: Madagascar, Tuléar, in caves, outer slope, 4–34 m.
 Material examined: M13: 30 valves (4 head, 20 intermediate and 6 tail); M19: 2 intermediate valves; M20: 1 intermediate valve; M26: 7 valves (1 head, 4 intermediate and 2 tail); M65: 6 valves (3 intermediate and 3 tail); MLD01A: 6 valves (1 head, 4 intermediate and 1 tail); MLD02A: 12 valves (2 head, 8 intermediate and 2 tail); MLD03A: 4 valves (3 intermediate and 1 tail); MLD04B: 1 intermediate valve; MLD05A: 2 intermediate valves; MLD05B: 3 intermediate valves; LB04: 1 intermediate valve; LB05: 18 valves (2 head, 11 intermediate and 5 tail).
 Remarks: A detailed description of this species is given by Kaas & Van Belle (1985). Collected valves agree with those of C. clausadeae, although their preservation is not very good. The only appreciable difference found relates to its slit formula, 12–16/1/12–15 vs. 18/1/12 reported by Kaas & Van Belle (1985). Also the pits in pleural areas are variable in number, up to 7–8 vs. 4–6 reported by Kaas & Van Belle (1985); some are more elongated and the outer ones can reach the anterior margin.
This is the first report of this species for the Maldive Islands.
 Distribution: Callochiton clausadeae is reported from Madagascar, Mauritius, Réunion, and the Maldive Islands.

title: Localising international law: The implications of sustainable development in the lives of waste pickers in Soth Africa
Creators: name: Lindner, Allison
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 2021

description: This thesis explores the dynamics that occur in a localised setting when sustainable development, an international legal concept, is translated into national laws through an empirical case study involving waste pickers in Johannesburg, South Africa. South Africa is the centre of the empirical examination given that sustainable development is both enshrined as a right in the highly-regarded and progressive South African Constitution, and is the prime objective of many local laws which comprise the waste management regime. The thesis uses an Economic Sociology of Law (ESL) approach, which considers legal life and economic life as part of wider social life; and conceptualises social life in terms of human rationalities, regimes, actions and interactions. This approach both prompts and facilitates a systematic interrogation of the interplay of the economic, legal and social dimensions of 'sustainable development'; and of how these dimensions are manifested in the life at local level. Empirical research reveals how stakeholders interact in their experience of the waste management regime aimed at achieving sustainable development. Waste pickers in Johannesburg do not benefit from improved social, economic or environmental conditions because sustainable development is ill-equipped to respond the social dynamics that complicate its operation in South Africa. Symptomatic of this is a lack of recognition of the value of waste pickers' work, resulting in policies that do not facilitate waste pickers' full access to waste, and a national recycling rate which is currently 38.6 per cent of all recyclable materials. Policy strategies aimed at achieving sustainable development in the South African waste management economy should address these issues in order to achieve success. This study is important for policy makers and waste pickers, and joins a handful of studies focused on the relationship between international law and the informal waste management economy.

description: Jute production has always been a risky venture in Bangladesh. A general methodology recently developed is used to estimate supply elasticities as well as to calculate impact of risk aversion on acreage planted. The traditional adaptive expectations model of Nerlove is extended for the purpose by way of adding the second moment of prices. Results testify both the acreage responsiveness and risk-aversion attitude of jute farmers. Furthermore, past memories of farmers are found to have significant influence on current planting decisions.

description: We review the recent developments in superstrings. We start with a brief summary of various consistent superstring theories and discuss T-duality which necessarily leads to the presence of D-branes. The properties of D-branes are summarized and we discuss how these suggest the existence of 11-dimensional quantum theory, M-theory, which is believed to give rise to various superstrings as perturbative expansions around particular backgrounds in the theory. We also discuss the interpretation of brane solutions as black holes in string theories and statistical explanation of Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. The idea behind this interpretation is that there is a fundamental duality between closed (gravity) and open (gauge theory) string degrees of freedom, one of whose manifestation is what is kown as AdS/CFT correspondence. The idea is used to discuss the greybody factors for BTZ black holes. Finally the entropy of various balck holes are discussed in connection with Cardy-Verlinde formula.

description: Die hier vorliegende theoretische und literaturanalytische Arbeit bezieht sich oft auf Volkes Stimme?, in welchem demagogische Sprache analysiert wird und klare Parallelen gezogen werden zwischen aktueller demagogischer und nationalsozialistischer Sprache; sowie auf Die Sprache der Neuen Rechten von Enno Stahl aus dem Jahr 2019. In Zusammenhang mit nationalsozialistischer Sprache wird häufig auf das Wörterbuch Vokabular des Nationalsozialismus von Cornelia Schmitz-Berning von 2007 verwiesen, und auf die bereits erwähnte Dissertation Manfred Pechaus aus dem Jahr 1935 mit dem Titel Nationalsozialismus und deutsche Sprache, die äußerst wertvoll für die sprachlichen Vergleiche im vierten Kapitel dieser Arbeit ist. Besonders oft wird der islamfeindliche und rechtsextreme Autor Akif Pirinçci zitiert, wenn es um Beispiele aus der Neuen Rechten geht. Seine Schriften sind ein guter Beleg dafür, dass die Grenzen des Sagbaren sich in der Gesellschaft sehr verschoben haben, zumal wenn man bedenkt, dass seine Publikationen in den Bestsellerlisten gelandet sind. Außerdem werden diverse andere Schriften zur Neuen Rechten und NS – insbesondere in Hinsicht auf Sprache – einbezogen, sowie nationalsozialistische und neurechte Literatur und Internetquellen. Die Wahl der Methode der reinen Analyse von Literatur und Medien begründet sich darin, dass diese am geeignetsten ist, um Sprache auf schriftlicher Ebene zu untersuchen. Die Analyse von z.B. Reden oder Interviews, also von Sprache auf verbaler Ebene, wurde nicht gewählt, weil genügend Beispiele für jeweilige Sprachstrategien in Publikationen und im Internet zur Verfügung stehen, und auf die Einbeziehung weiterer wissenschaftlicher Methoden muss aus räumlichen Gründen verzichtet werden.

description: In der vorliegenden Masterarbeit wird der Frage nachgegangen, wie sich die sexuelle Kommunikation von kommunikationsstarken Frauen in heterosexuellen Beziehungen gestaltet. Die Untersuchung basiert auf dem theoretischen Modell Sexocorporel, das einen ganzheitlichen und fähigkeitsorientierten Blick auf das Konzept der sexuellen Kommunikation ermöglicht und es mit anderen Faktoren der Sexualität in Beziehung setzt. Um die Forschungsfrage zu beantworten, wurden vier qualitative halb-standardisierte Interviews durchgeführt, welche anschliessend anhand einer qualitativen Inhaltsanalyse ausgewertet wurden. Die Ergebnisse weisen darauf hin, dass die sexuelle Kommunikation für die Befragten eine Ressource in der Paarsexualität darstellen. Des Weiteren geht hervor, dass je nach Zweck der sexuellen Kommunikation eine andere Kommunikationsweise verwendet und ein anderer Zeitpunkt gewählt wird. Schliesslich zeigt sich, dass andere Faktoren des Modells Sexocorporel in Bezug auf die sexuelle Kommunikation als hemmend oder fördernd wahrgenommen werden.

description: We study a particular class of infinite-dimensional representations of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$. These representations $L_n(p)$ are characterized by a positive integer $p$, and are the lowest component in the $p$-fold tensor product of the metaplectic representation of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$. We construct a new polynomial basis for $L_n(p)$ arising from the embedding $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2np) \supset \mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$. The basis vectors of $L_n(p)$ are labelled by semi-standard Young tableaux, and are expressed as Clifford algebra valued polynomials with integer coefficients in $np$ variables. Using combinatorial properties of these tableau vectors it is deduced that they form indeed a basis. The computation of matrix elements of a set of generators of $\mathfrak{osp}(1|2n)$ on these basis vectors requires further combinatorics, such as the action of a Young subgroup on the horizontal strips of the tableau.

description: This presentation examines pathways for advancing renewable energy and decarbonization in Brazil, analyzing three scenarios: Business as Usual, expanded Distributed Generation Photovoltaic (DGPV) adoption, and increased electric vehicle (EV) use. Key findings highlight the importance of financial incentives for DGPV expansion, with a 35% cost reduction in solar technology expected to have a significant impact by 2042. A projected 20% increase in EVs by 2050 would contribute to a 20% emissions reduction with minimal strain on the electricity system. The report recommends long-term policy planning, integrated renewable energy and transportation policies, and further research on EV adoption and implementation challenges.

description: For connected vehicles to have a substantial effect on road safety, it is required that accurate positions and trajectories can be shared. To this end, all vehicles must be accurately geolocalized in a common frame. This can be achieved by merging GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) information and visual observations matched with a map of geo-positioned landmarks. Building such a map remains a challenge, and current solutions are facing strong cost-related limitations. We present a collaborative framework for high-definition mapping, in which vehicles equipped with standard sensors, such as a GNSS receiver and a mono-visual camera, update a map of geolocalized landmarks. Our system is composed of two processing blocks: the first one is embedded in each vehicle, and aims at geolocalizing the vehicle and the detected feature marks. The second is operated on cloud servers, and uses observations from all the vehicles to compute updates for the map of geo-positioned landmarks. As the map's landmarks are detected and positioned by more and more vehicles, the accuracy of the map increases, eventually converging in probability towards a null error. The landmarks geo-positions are estimated in a stable and scalable way, enabling to provide dynamic map updates in an automatic manner.

description: Devising a computational tool that assesses the thermodynamic stability of materials is among the most important steps required to build a ``virtual laboratory'', where materials could be designed from first-principles without relying on experimental input. Although the formalism that allows the calculation of solid state phase diagrams from first principles is well established, its practical implementation remains a tedious process. The development of a fully automated algorithm to perform such calculations serves two purposes. First, it will make this powerful tool available to large number of researchers. Second, it frees the calculation process from arbitrary parameters, guaranteeing that the results obtained are truly derived from the underlying first-principles calculations. The proposed algorithm formalizes the most difficult step of phase diagram calculations, namely the determination of the ``cluster expansion'', which is a compact representation of the configurational dependence of the alloy's energy. This is traditionally achieved by a fit of the unknown interaction parameters of the cluster expansion to a set of structural energies calculated from first-principles. We present a formal statistical basis for the selection of both the interaction parameters to include in the cluster expansion and of the structures to use in order to determine them. The proposed method relies on the concepts of cross-validation and variance minimization. An application to the calculation of the phase diagram of the Si-Ge, CaO-MgO, Ti-Al, and Cu-Au systems is presented.
