description: High entropy alloys are generally considered to be single phase material. This state is, however, typically a non-equilibrium state after fabrication at high cooling rates. Phase constitution after fabrication or heat treatment is mostly known for isothermal annealing only and for casts as well as rapidly quenched alloys. Knowledge on early phase separation stages of high entropy alloys and their mechanisms are missing so far. Here, we present results on phase separation at intermediate cooling rates, by characterization of gas atomized powder of the AlCoCr0.75Cu0.5FeNi alloy. Although investigation by X-ray diffraction and Electron Backscatter Diffraction indicates a single-phase nature of the powder particles, aberration-corrected scanning transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography reveal a nanoscale phase separation into Ni-Al-rich B2 and Fe-Cr-rich A2 regions as well as a high number density of 3.1x1024 Cu-rich clusters per m3 in the B2 matrix. The observed phase separation and cluster formation are linked to spinodal decomposition and nucleation processes, respectively. The study highlights that adequate characterization techniques need to be chosen when making statements about phase stability and structural evolution in compositionally complex alloys.

description: There is an unmet clinical need for developing novel methods to complement and replace the current radiation-emitting imaging-based methods for the detection of loose pedicle screws as a complication after spinal fusion surgery which fail to identify a substantial amount of loose implants. In this work, we propose a new methodology and paradigm for the radiation-free, non-destructive, and easy-to-integrate detection of pedicle screw loosening based on vibroacoustic sensing. Furthermore, we propose a novel simulation technique for pedicle screw loosening, which is biomechanically validated. For the detection of a loose implant, we excite the vertebra of interest with a sine sweep vibration at the spinous process and attach a custom highly-sensitive piezo contact microphone to the screw head to capture the propagated vibration characteristics which are analyzed using a detection pipeline based on spectrogram features and a SE-ResNet-18. To validate the proposed approach, we conducted experiments using four human cadaveric lumbar spine specimens and evaluate our algorithm in a cross validation experiment. Our method reaches a sensitivity of 91.50 +- 6.58% and a specificity of 91.10 +- 2.27%. The proposed system shows great potentials for the development of alternative assessment methods for implant loosening based on vibroacoustic sensing.

description: The moduli space of $8$ points on $\mathbb{P}^1$, a so-called ancestral Deligne-Mostow space, is, by work of Kondō, also a moduli space of K3 surfaces. We prove that the Deligne-Mostow isomorphism does not lift to a morphism between the Kirwan blow-up of the GIT quotient and the unique toroidal compactification of the corresponding ball quotient. Moreover, we show that these spaces are not $K$-equivalent, even though they are natural blow-ups at the unique cusps and have the same cohomology. This is analogous to the work of Casalaina-Martin-Grushevsky-Hulek-Laza on the moduli space of cubic surfaces. The moduli spaces of ordinary stable maps, that is, the Fulton-MacPherson compactification of the configuration space of points on $\mathbb{P}^1$, play an important role in the proof. We further relate our computations to new developments in the minimal model program and recent work of Odaka. We briefly discuss other cases of moduli space of points on $\mathbb{P}^1$ where a similar behaviour can be observed, hinting at a more general, but not yet fully understood phenomenon.

description: We report a versatile method for executing controllable high-speed rotation of nanowires by AC voltages applied to multiple electrodes. The rotation of the nanowires can be instantly switched on or off with precisely controlled rotation speed (to at least 1800 rpm), definite chirality, and total angle of rotation. We have determined the torque due to the fluidic drag force on nanowire of different lengths. We also demonstrate a micromotor using a rotating nanowires driving a dust particle into circular motion. This method has been used to rotate magnetic and nonmagnetic nanowires as well as carbon nanotubes.

description: We study the event shape variables, transverse energy energy correlation TEEC $(\cos \phi)$ and its asymmetry ATEEC $(\cos \phi)$ in deep inelastic scattering (DIS) at the electron-proton collider HERA, where $\phi$ is the angle between two jets defined using a transverse-momentum $(k_T)$ jet algorithm. At HERA, jets are defined in the Breit frame, and the leading nontrivial transverse energy energy correlations arise from the 3-jet configurations. With the help of the NLOJET++, these functions are calculated in the leading order (LO) and the next-to-leading order (NLO) approximations in QCD at the electron-proton center-of-mass energy $\sqrt{s}=314$ GeV. We restrict the angular region to $-0.8 \leq \cos \phi \leq 0.8$, as the forward- and backward-angular regions require resummed logarithmic corrections, which we have neglected in this work. Following experimental jet-analysis at HERA, we restrict the DIS-variables $x$, $y=Q^2/(x s)$, where $Q^2=-q^2$ is the negative of the momentum transfer squared $q^2$, to $0 \leq x \leq 1$, $0.2 \leq y \leq 0.6$, and the pseudo-rapidity variable in the laboratory frame $(\eta^{\rm {lab}})$ to the range $-1 \leq \eta^{\rm {lab}} \leq 2.5$. The TEEC and ATEEC functions are worked out for two ranges in $Q^2$, defined by $5.5~{\rm GeV}^2 \leq Q^2 \leq 80~{\rm GeV}^2$, called the low-$Q^2$-range, and $150~{\rm GeV}^2 \leq Q^2 \leq 1000~{\rm GeV}^2$, called the high-$Q^2$-range. We show the sensitivity of these functions on the parton distribution functions (PDFs), the factorization $(\mu_F)$ and renormalization $(\mu_R)$ scales, and on $\alpha_s(M_Z)$. Of these the correlations are stable against varying the scale $\mu_F$ and the PDFs, but they do depend on $\mu_R$. These studies are useful in the analysis of the HERA data, including the determination of $\alpha_s(M_Z)$ from the shape variables.

The validity of the underlying mathematical model, and particularly of the weak-field approximation, are analyzed. It is shown that the presence of the plasma sheath around test particles and the resulting effect of charge screening are essential for the description of plasmas which are strongly coupled.

description: The potential of a Spatial Decision Support System (SDSS) for estimating water and sediment yields was assessed in a large (92.46 km2) experimental catchment in the Damodar-Barakar basin. The SDSS is based on a SWAT model and was operated under prevailing resource management conditions. Application of the proposed SDSS predicted average water and sediment yields of 383.37 mm yr-1 and 21.28 t ha-1 yr-1 were predicted as against actual observations of 390.69 mm yr-1 and 25.35 t ha-1 yr-1 for the validation periods 1981-1983; 1985-1989 and 1991. Simulations of the annual dynamics of total water and sediment yields showed good to moderately good correlation coefficients of 0.83 and 0.65; model efficiency coefficients of 0.54 and 0.70; mean relative errors of -4.28% and -17.97% and root mean square prediction errors of 71.8 mm and 9.63 t ha-1, respectively. The study demonstrated that the proposed SDSS could also be used to identify priority arrears having high water and soil losses within the test catchment. The presence of large areas under long duration paddy rice and maize crops and/or low forest cover appeared to be the major reasons for the high water and soil losses from some experimental areas.

description: We explore geometries that give rise to a novel algebraic structure, the Exceptional Drinfeld Algebra, which has recently been proposed as an approach to study generalised U-dualities, similar to the non-Abelian and Poisson-Lie generalisations of T-duality. This algebra is generically not a Lie algebra but a Leibniz algebra, and can be realised in exceptional generalised geometry or exceptional field theory through a set of frame fields giving a generalised parallelisation. We provide examples including "three-algebra geometries", which encode the structure constants for three-algebras and in some cases give novel uplifts for $CSO(p,q,r)$ gaugings of seven-dimensional maximal supergravity. We also discuss the M-theoretic embedding of both non-Abelian and Poisson-Lie T-duality.

description: Terahertz and sub-terahertz band detection has a key role both in fundamental interactions physics and technological applications, such as medical imaging, industrial quality control and homeland security. In particular, transition edge sensors (TESs) and kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) are the most employed bolometers and calorimeters in the THz and sub-THz band for astrophysics and astroparticles research. Here, we present the electronic, thermal and spectral characterization of an aluminum/copper bilayer sensing structure that, thanks to its thermal properties and a simple miniaturized design, could be considered a perfect candidate to realize an extremely sensitive class of nanoscale TES (nano-TES) for the giga-therahertz band. Indeed, thanks to the reduced dimensionality of the active region and the efficient Andreev mirror (AM) heat confinement, our devices are predicted to reach state-of-the-art TES performance. In particular, as a bolometer the nano-TES is expected to have a noise equivalent power (NEP) of $5\times10^{-20}$ W/$\sqrt{\mathrm{Hz}}$ and a relaxation time of $\sim 10$ ns for the sub-THz band, typical of cosmic microwave background studies. When operated as single-photon sensor, the devices are expected to show a remarkable frequency resolution of 100 GHz, pointing towards the necessary energy sensitivity requested in laboratory axion search experiments. Finally, different multiplexing schemes are proposed and sized for imaging applications.

description: The WaNuLCAS (Water, Nutrient and Light Capture in Agroforestry Systems) model was used to investigate the impact of tree leafing phenology on the growth and water use of selected agroforestry tree species in semi-arid Central Kenya. Three agroforestry species, grevillea (Grevillea robusta), alnus (Alnus acuminate) and paulownia (Paulownia fortunei), respectively providing evergreen, semi-deciduous and deciduous leafing phenologies, were intercropped with maize. It was hypothesized that the deciduous habit of alnus and paulownia would reduce demand for water relative to the evergreen grevillea under conditions of limited supplies. WaNuLCAS simulations showed that altering leafing phenology from evergreen through semi-deciduous to deciduous decreased water uptake and interception losses by the trees, but increased crop water uptake, drainage and soil evaporation rates for systems containing all three tree species. Drainage and soil evaporation were respectively 14 and 17% greater in the deciduous paulownia system than in the evergreen grevillea. Simulated water uptake and biomass accumulation by grevillea were more than double the corresponding values for paulownia, while crop water uptake in the grevillea and paulownia systems was reduced by 6% and 0.2% respectively relative to sole maize. The simulations imply that water use by paulownia is lower than for grevillea and suggest that leafing phenology is a key attribute affecting water use by trees. The significance of these observations for watershed management and stream flow are discussed.

description: We report the discovery of a low-surface-brightness (27.42 mag arcsec^(-2) in g band) nebula, which has a ring-like shape in the Beijing-Arizona Sky Survey (BASS). Positive detections have been found in multiband data from far ultraviolet to far infrared, except the z band from BASS and W1, W2 from the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer. The reddening of the nebula E(B - V) ~ 0.02 mag is estimated from Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) 100 micron intensity and HI column density. With the help of the 3D reddening map from Pan-STARRS 1, the Two Micron All Sky Survey, and Gaia, the distance to the nebula of about 500 pc from Earth is derived. Such a low-surface-brightness nebula whose energy can be interpreted by the diffuse Galactic light could account for the optical counterpart of the infrared cirrus, which was detected by IRAS more than 30 yr ago. The ring-like structure might be the ultimate phase of an evolved planetary nebula, while the central white dwarf star has been ejected from the nebula for an unclear reason. On the other hand, the ring structure being a superposition of two close filaments might be another reasonable explanation. Considering the lack of spectroscopic data and uncertainty in the distance measurement, these interpretations need to be checked by future observations.

description: Local scale-invariance for ageing systems without detailed balance is tested through studying the dynamical symmetries of the critical bosonic contact process and the critical bosonic pair-contact process.Their field-theoretical actions can be split into a Schrödinger-invariant term and a pure noise term. It is shown that the two-time response and correlation functions are reducible to certain multipoint response functions which depend only on the Schrödinger-invariant part of the action. For the bosonic contact process, the representation of the Schrödinger group can be derived from the free diffusion equation, whereas for the bosonic pair-contact process, a new representation of the Schrödinger group related to a non-linear Schrödinger equation with dimensionful couplings is constructed. The resulting predictions of local scale-invariance for the two-time responses and correlators are completely consistent with the exactly-known results in both models.

description: We present -- and make publicly available -- accurate and precise photometric redshifts in the ACS footprint from the COSMOS field for objects with $i_{\mathrm{AB}}\leq 23$. The redshifts are computed using a combination of narrow band photometry from PAUS, a survey with 40 narrow bands spaced at $100Å$ intervals covering the range from $4500Å$ to $8500Å$, and 26 broad, intermediate, and narrow bands covering the UV, visible and near infrared spectrum from the COSMOS2015 catalogue. We introduce a new method that models the spectral energy distributions (SEDs) as a linear combination of continuum and emission line templates and computes its Bayes evidence, integrating over the linear combinations. The correlation between the UV luminosity and the OII line is measured using the 66 available bands with the zCOSMOS spectroscopic sample, and used as a prior which constrains the relative flux between continuum and emission line templates. The flux ratios between the OII line and $\mathrm{H}_α$, $\mathrm{H}_β$ and $\mathrm{OIII}$ are similarly measured and used to generate the emission line templates. Comparing to public spectroscopic surveys via the quantity $Δ_z\equiv(z_{\mathrm{photo}}-z_{\mathrm{spec}})/(1+z_{\mathrm{spec}})$, we find the photometric redshifts to be more precise than previous estimates, with $σ_{68}(Δ_z) \approx (0.003, 0.009)$ for galaxies at magnitude $i_{\mathrm{AB}}\sim18$ and $i_{\mathrm{AB}}\sim23$, respectively, which is $3\times$ and $1.66\times$ tighter than COSMOS2015. Additionally, we find the redshifts to be very accurate on average, yielding a median of the $Δ_z$ distribution compatible with $|\mathrm{median}(Δ_z)|\leq0.001$ at all redshifts and magnitudes considered. Both the added PAUS data and new methodology contribute significantly to the improved results.

description: Data augmentation is a valuable tool for the design of deep learning systems to overcome data limitations and stabilize the training process. Especially in the medical domain, where the collection of large-scale data sets is challenging and expensive due to limited access to patient data, relevant environments, as well as strict regulations, community-curated large-scale public datasets, pretrained models, and advanced data augmentation methods are the main factors for developing reliable systems to improve patient care. However, for the development of medical acoustic sensing systems, an emerging field of research, the community lacks large-scale publicly available data sets and pretrained models. To address the problem of limited data, we propose a conditional generative adversarial neural network-based augmentation method which is able to synthesize mel spectrograms from a learned data distribution of a source data set. In contrast to previously proposed fully convolutional models, the proposed model implements residual Squeeze and Excitation modules in the generator architecture. We show that our method outperforms all classical audio augmentation techniques and previously published generative methods in terms of generated sample quality and a performance improvement of 2.84% of Macro F1-Score for a classifier trained on the augmented data set, an enhancement of $1.14\%$ in relation to previous work. By analyzing the correlation of intermediate feature spaces, we show that the residual Squeeze and Excitation modules help the model to reduce redundancy in the latent features. Therefore, the proposed model advances the state-of-the-art in the augmentation of clinical audio data and improves the data bottleneck for the design of clinical acoustic sensing systems.

description: This study is focused on the economic analysis of contract farming with a comparison of income, access to technology and credit of contract and non-contract farmers. The advantages of contract farming for smallholders have also been evaluated. In contract farming, quality inputs such as seeds, fertilizers and plant protection chemicals are provided to the farmers at their farm gate, coupled with the technical advice on production aspects. This not only reduces the working capital needs of farmers but also substantially reduces their transaction cost per unit of output. Borrowing of crop loans has been found 33 per cent higher by non-contract farmers than contract farmers, as the former have to buy material inputs. The net returns have been found higher for contract than non-contract farmers. Within contract farming, net returns have been recorded higher under domestic than foreign contracts for both baby corn and chilli. In the case of non-contract farmers, the net returns (Rs 3,035) have been found less than one-third of domestic contract farmers (Rs 10,610) and slightly more than one-third of foreign contract farmers (Rs 8,050). In the case of chilli also, the net returns realized per acre have been recorded maximum under domestic contract farmers, followed by foreign contract farmers and non-contract farmers. The returns per rupee invested have been noted higher in farming of baby corn in all the three categories than those of chilli farming. The constraints identified in the study include delay in payment and delivery of inputs, delay in lifting the produce, access to seeds, manupulation of grades by the buyers, and high cost of inputs in contract farming. Factors inducing farmers into contract are: low initial investment, better price for the produce, access to market, technical support on package of practices, access to inputs and easy transportation facilities.

The large time asymptotic behavior of solutions is obtained. In contrast to the continuous case (when the problem in the Euclidian space is considered, not on the lattice) the resolvent of the corresponding stationary problem has singularities on the continuous spectrum, and they contribute to the asymptotics.
Gender, power and justice : a feminist perspective on restorative justice and intimate violence
Creators: name: Cameron, Angela
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis tests the appropriateness of the use of restorative justice in cases of intimate violence. It examines current definitions, understandings and practices of restorative justice from the perspective of victims of intimate violence, with particular attention to social location. This thesis argues that, in order to achieve a just result, restorative justice models must take into account the needs, and interests of victims as much as those of offenders. This thesis demonstrates how theoretically, and practically the needs of victims of violence are often marginalized in restorative justice, and discusses the particular impacts on victims of intimate violence. This thesis concludes that in some cases restorative justice is not meeting the needs of victims of intimate violence, and in some cases women are being revictimised. In many other cases, due to a serious lack of research, it is unclear whether victims are being helped or hurt. Because of this ambiguity, and the consequences of ignoring the potential dangers, this thesis proposes that there must be a moratorium on new projects dealing with intimate violence. Finally this thesis proposes mandatory national guidelines for current restorative justice initiatives that accept cases of intimate violence, and provides parameters for what cases, if any, should be diverted to these projects.

description: We prove that 0 is a characterizing slope for infinitely many knots, namely the genus-1 knots whose knot Floer homology is 2-dimensional in the top Alexander grading, which we classified in recent work and which include all $(-3,3,2n+1)$ pretzel knots. This was previously only known for $5_2$ and its mirror, as a corollary of that classification, and for the unknot, trefoils, and the figure eight by work of Gabai from 1987.

description: Using STIS on board the HST we have obtained a spectroscopic map of the bipolar jet from RW Aur. We find signatures of rotation within the first 300 AU of the jet (1.''5 from RW Aur). Both lobes rotate in the same direction (i.e. with different helicities). Toroidal velocities are in the range 5 - 30 km/s at 20 (30) AU from the symmetry axis in the blueshifted (redshifted) lobe, in line with other STIS observations and with theoretical simulations. The sense of rotation is anti-clockwise looking from the tip of the blue lobe down to the star. Rotation is more evident in the [OI] and [NII] lines and at the largest sampled distance from the axis. We derive that the mass ejected in the observed part of the outflow is accelerated from a region in the disk within about 0.5 (1.6) AU from the star for the blue (red) lobe. We estimate that the angular momentum transport rate of the jet can be two thirds or more of the estimated rate transported through the relevant portion of the disk. The magnetic lever arm (ratio rA/r0 between the Alfv`en and footpoint radii) is between 3.5 and 4.6 (accuracy 20-25%), or, the ejection index $ξ$ = d ln($\dot{M}_acc$) / d r is in the range 0.025 - 0.046 (same accuracy).These values are in the range predicted by the models, and suggest that some heating must be provided at the base of the flow. We also derive the ratio B_phi / B_p of the toroidal and poloidal components of the magnetic field at the observed location. B_phi / B_p = 3.8 +- 1.1 at 30 AU from the axis in the red lobe and -8.9 +- 2.7 at 20 AU from the axis in the blue lobe. The toroidal component is dominant, as predicted by magnetic collimation models.

description: Every non-erasing monoid morphism $σ: \mathcal{A}^* \to \mathcal{B}^*$ induces a {\em measure transfer map} $σ_X^{\mathcal{M}}: \mathcal{M}(X) \to \mathcal{M}(σ(X))$ between the measure cones $\mathcal{M}(X)$ and $\mathcal{M}(σ(X))$, associated to any subshift $X \subset \mathcal{A}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ and its image subshift $σ(X) \subset \mathcal{B}^{\mathbb{Z}}$ respectively. We define and study this map in detail and show that it is continuous, linear and functorial. It also turns out to be surjective \cite{BHL2.8-II}. Furthermore, an efficient technique to compute the value of the transferred measure $σ_X^{\mathcal{M}(μ)}$ on any cylinder $[w]$ (for $w \in \mathcal{B}^*$) is presented.
 \smallskip \noindent {\bf Theorem:} If a non-erasing morphism $σ: \mathcal{A}^* \to \mathcal{B}^*$ is injective on the shift-orbits of some subshift $X \subset \mathcal{A}^\mathbb{Z}$, then $σ^{\mathcal{M}_X}$ is injective.
 \smallskip
 The assumption on $σ$ that it is ``injective on the shift-orbits of $X$'' is strictly weaker than ``recognizable in $X$'', and strictly stronger than ``recognizable for aperiodic points in $X$''. The last assumption does in general not suffice to obtain the injectivity of the measure transfer map $σ_X^{\mathcal{M}}$.

description: We work out the relation between Chern-Simons, 2d Yang-Mills on the cylinder, and Brownian motion. We show that for the unitary, orthogonal and symplectic groups, various observables in Chern-Simons theory on S^3 and lens spaces are exactly given by counting the number of paths of a Brownian particle wandering in the fundamental Weyl chamber of the corresponding Lie algebra. We construct a fermionic formulation of Chern-Simons on $S^3$ which allows us to identify the Brownian particles as B-model branes moving on a non-commutative two-sphere, and construct 1- and 2-matrix models to compute Brownian motion ensemble averages.

Measure transfer and $S$-adic developments for subshifts

description: Based on previous work of the authors, to any $S$-adic development of a subshift $X$ a "directive sequence" of commutative diagrams is associated, which consists at every level $n \geq 0$ of the measure cone and the letter frequency cone of the level subshift $X_n$ associated canonically to the given $S$-adic development.
 The issuing rich picture enables one to deduce results about $X$ with unexpected directness. For instance, we exhibit a large class of minimal subshifts with entropy zero that all have infinitely many ergodic probability measures.
 As a side result we also exhibit, for any integer $d \geq 2$, an $S$-adic development of a minimal, aperiodic, uniquely ergodic subshift $X$, where all level alphabets ${\cal A}_n$ have cardinality $d\,$, while none of the $d-2$ bottom level morphisms is recognizable in its level subshift $X_n \subset {\cal A}_n^\mathbb Z$.

Modeling the Jovian subnebula: II - Composition of regular satellites ices

Year: 2005

description: We use the evolutionary turbulent model of Jupiter's subnebula described by Alibert et al. (2005a) to constrain the composition of ices incorporated in its regular icy satellites. We consider CO2, CO, CH4, N2, NH3, H2S, Ar, Kr, and Xe as the major volatile species existing in the gas-phase of the solar nebula. All these volatile species, except CO2 which crystallized as a pure condensate, are assumed to be trapped by H2O to form hydrates or clathrate hydrates in the solar nebula. Once condensed, these ices were incorporated into the growing planetesimals produced in the feeding zone of proto-Jupiter. Some of these solids then flowed from the solar nebula to the subnebula, and may have been accreted by the forming Jovian regular satellites. We show that ices embedded in solids entering at early epochs into the Jovian subdisk were all vaporized. This leads us to consider two different scenarios of regular icy satellites formation in order to estimate the composition of the ices they contain. In the first scenario, icy satellites were accreted from planetesimals that have been produced in Jupiter's feeding zone without further vaporization, whereas, in the second scenario, icy satellites were accreted from planetesimals produced in the Jovian subnebula. In this latter case, we study the evolution of carbon and nitrogen gas-phase chemistries in the Jovian subnebula and we show that the conversions of N2 to NH3, of CO to CO2, and of CO to CH4 were all inhibited in the major part of the subdisk. Finally, we assess the mass abundances of the major volatile species with respect to H2O in the interiors of the Jovian regular icy satellites. Our results are then compatible with the detection of CO2 on the surfaces of Callisto and Ganymede and with the presence of NH3 envisaged in subsurface oceans within Ganymede and Callisto.

description: The perceptions of farmers about risks in production of fruits and vegetables have been analysed using structured survey method. The study is based on the survey of a total of 634 farmers, comprising 188 fruit farmers and 446 vegetable farmers, covering six districts of Uttar Pradesh, namely, Lucknow, Allahabad, Gorakhpur, Moradabad, Jhansi and Agra. The perceived priorities of farmers about major sources of risks in production of fruits and vegetables have been reported under ‘investment risks’, ‘socio-economic risks’, ‘environmental risks’, ‘production risks’ and ‘market risks’. In general, the price and production risks have been perceived as the most important sources of risk in production of fruits and vegetables in the area. The study has argued that public intervention can facilitate better risk management through improved information system, development of financial markets and promotion of market-based price and yield insurance schemes, thus ensuring that the marginal farmers are able to benefit from these interventions as well as participate in the emerging systems.

description: Coastal Georgia continues to experience extremely high population growth rates. People are attracted by coastal amenities, including pleasant views of the saltwater marshes. The real estate market has responded to population growth with a pattern of development that exhibits varying degrees of compatibility with the nearby marshland ecosystem. Among community leaders there is a need for information on development alternatives. Information has been generated from a hedonic price analysis that contains proximity to amenities and development design variables. We conclude that real estate developers have, under certain circumstances, an economic incentive to incorporate more open space in their design of residential subdivisions in marshland environments.
Gauss-Bonnet inflation with a constant rate of roll

description: We consider the constant-roll condition in the model of the inflaton nonminimal coupling to the Gauss-Bonnet term. By assuming the first Gauss-Bonnet flow parameter $δ_1$ is a constant, we discuss the constant-roll inflation with constant $ε_1$, constant $ε_2$ and constant $η_H$, respectively. Using the Bessel function approximation, we get the analytical expressions for the scalar and tensor power spectrum and derive the scalar spectral index $n_{\mathcal{R}}$ and the tensor to scalar ratio $r$ to the first order of $ε_1$. By using the Planck 2018 observations constraint on $n_{\mathcal{R}}$ and $r$, we obtain some feasible parameter space and show the result on the $n_{\mathcal{R}}-r$ region. The scalar potential is also reconstructed in some spectral cases.

description: We report on a search for the flavor-changing neutral current decays $\Dz\to e^+e^-$ and $\Dz\toμ^+μ^-$, and the lepton-flavor violating decay $\Dz\to e^\pmμ^\mp$. The measurement is based on $122 {fb}^{-1}$ of data collected by the \babar detector at the PEP-II asymmetric $e^+e^-$ collider. No evidence is found for any of the decays. The upper limits on the branching fractions, at the 90 % confidence level, are $1.2\times 10^{-6}$ for $\Dz\to e^+e^-$, $1.3\times 10^{-6}$ for $\Dz\toμ^+μ^-$, and $8.1\times 10^{-7}$ for $\Dz\to e^\pmμ^\mp$.
