Policy experimentation, everyday state informality, and contested cultural-creative entrepreneurial practices in urbanizing China

description: Focusing on a state-run cultural creative industrial district in China, this paper examines how creative city policy, as a top-down experimental agenda, is embedded in the situated cultural and creative practices through informal urban governance at the local level, and how this informality reshapes the experiences and existing precariousness of creative entrepreneurs. Beyond the dichotomy of self-entrepreneurialism and state entrepreneurialism, this paper argues that urban cultural creative industries emerge from everyday conflicts and informal negotiations between creative entrepreneurs, local authorities, and indigenous communities in the context of policy experimentation. This process is facilitated specifically through two mechanisms: (1) political informality, which involves policy ambivalence, corruption, clientelism, and bureaucratic preferences in local state-business relations; and (2) social informality, which involves the informal social connections and cooperation between local residents and creative industries. This informality can fall on a spectrum ranging from para-formal to a-formal, depending on the degree of state intervention. While the para-formal can lead to negotiated forms of cultural production and innovation, the a-formal based on political performances and state-enlisted voluntarism may increase the precariousness and insecurity of creative entrepreneurs.

description: Chisosa Huber, 2000
Chisosa Huber, 2000: 124; type species by original designation: Pholcophora diluta Gertsch & Mulaik, 1941.
Diagnosis/Description. See Huber (2000). The new species below fits the original diagnosis. No other New World genus combines small body size (0.8–1.4) with strongly enlarged male palpal femora (figs 483 and 490 in Huber 2000; Figs 105–106, 110–111 herein). The male cheliceral armature is more variable among species than originally thought, but such variation in common among close relatives in Pholcidae and thus not unexpected.
Monophyly. The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) supports a sister group relationship between the type species Chisosa diluta (Gertsch & Mulaik, 1941) and the new species C. caquetio. However, no clear morphological synapomorphy is known to support the genus in its present composition. The widened male palpal femur was originally considered a potential synapomorphy (Huber 2000), but at that time Chisosa was thought to belong to Ninetinae; however, a widened male palpal femur is plesiomorphic for Arteminae. Similarly, the procursus is relatively complex when compared to other Ninetinae but not when compared to other Arteminae. It is unclear whether the small body size of Chisosa is a plesiomorphic or derived character.
Generic Relationships. The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) places the genus in “other Arteminae ” (i.e. Arteminae without Artema) as sister to all other genera in this group; however, this sister group relationship receives low support.
Composition. The genus now includes three species: C. diluta (Gertsch & Mulaik, 1941); C. baja (Gertsch, 1982), and C. caquetio sp.n ..
Distribution. Known from Texas (USA), Baja California Norte (Mexico), and Curaçao and Aruba (Netherlands Antilles).

Type species. Pemona sapo sp. n.
Etymology. The genus is named for the Pemón, an indigenous people in parts of Venezuela, Brazil, and Guyana; gender feminine.
Diagnosis/Description. See diagnosis and description of single known species below.
Notes. The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) placed this species as sister to the genus Kambiwa Huber, 2000 which was represented by the type species K. neotropica (Kraus, 1957) from NE Brazil and an undescribed species from Bolivia (“ Kambiwa MACN273”). This sister group relationship received maximum support. Thus, the new species could in theory be assigned to Kambiwa. However, the two sequenced species of Kambiwa and several additional undescribed congeners available in collections (L.S. Carvalho, B.A. Huber, unpublished data) have a very consistent male palp morphology that differs strongly from the species described below (see diagnosis below). This is here taken to justify the creation of a new genus.

description: AbstractMany industrial enterprises use softened or mineralized water for technological purposes to compensate for steam and condensate losses and to replenish the heating network. Water with high carbonate hardness is unsuitable for cooling heat exchange equipment because when heated, the calcium bicarbonates in it break down into carbonates, which, when deposited, clog the heat exchanger.This article provides recommendations for developing effective and environmentally safe technologies for the immediate cleaning of heat exchange devices. It also highlights various cleaning methods used in the water industry, depending on the water quality required to meet necessary standards.KeywordsSolution, regenerant, regeneration, industry, filter, substance, solution, resin, acid.
Application of random coherence order selection in gradient-enhanced multidimensional NMR

description: Development of multidimensional NMR is essential to many applications, for example in high resolution structural studies of biomolecules. Multidimensional techniques enable separation of NMR signals over several dimensions, improving signal resolution, whilst also allowing identification of new connectivities. However, these advantages come at a significant cost. The Fourier transform theorem requires acquisition of a grid of regularly spaced points to satisfy the Nyquist criterion, while frequency discrimination and acquisition of a pure phase spectrum require acquisition of both quadrature components for each time point in every indirect (non-acquisition) dimension, adding a factor of 2$^{N−1}$ to the number of free-induction decays which must be acquired, where $N$ is the number of dimensions. Compressed sensing (CS) ℓ$_{1}$-norm minimisation in combination with non-uniform sampling (NUS) has been shown to be extremely successful in overcoming the Nyquist criterion. Previously, maximum entropy reconstruction has also been used to overcome the limitation of frequency discrimination, processing data acquired with only one quadrature component at a given time interval, known as random phase detection (RPD), allowing a factor of two reduction in the number of points for each indirect dimension (Maciejewski et al. 2011 $\small \textit{PNAS}$ 108 16640). However, whilst this approach can be easily applied in situations where the quadrature components are acquired as amplitude modulated data, the same principle is not easily extended to phase modulated (P-/N-type) experiments where data is acquired in the form exp ($\textit{iωt}$) or exp (−$\textit{iωt}$), and which make up many of the multidimensional experiments used in modern NMR. Here we demonstrate a modification of the CS ℓ$_1$-norm approach to allow random coherence order selection (RCS) for phase modulated experiments; we generalise the nomenclature for RCS and RPD as random quadrature detection (RQD). With this method, the power of RQD can be extended to the full suite of experiments available to modern NMR spectroscopy, allowing resolution enhancements for all indirect dimensions; alone or in combination with NUS, RQD can be used to improve experimental resolution, or shorten experiment times, of considerable benefit to the challenging applications undertaken by modern NMR.

Pinocchio

description: Pinocchio Huber & Carvalho gen. n.
Type species. Pinocchio barauna sp. n.
Etymology. The genus is named for Carlo Collodi’s fictional character whose famous nose reminds of the projecting clypeus in the type species; gender masculine.
Diagnosis/Description. See diagnosis and description of single known species below.
Notes. The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) placed the Brazilian Pinocchio as sister to the two Old World genera Ninetis Simon, 1890 + Magana gen. n. (“Gen.n. Om6”). Morphologically, Pinocchio barauna differs from known Old World Ninetinae in several characters: modified clypeus, large male palpal femur, complex tip of procursus, and complex bulbal process. These morphological differences as well as the geographic separation from the putative sister group are here taken to justify the creation of a new genus.

description: Magana Huber gen. n.
Type species. Magana velox sp. n.
Etymology. The genus name is derived from Magan, an ancient region which was referred to in Sumerian cuneiform texts and may be part of what is now Oman; gender feminine.
Diagnosis/Description. See diagnosis and description of single known species below.
Notes. The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) placed this species as sister to Ninetis. Even though the data were fragmentary (only two genes successfully sequenced for Ninetis) and the support value rather low, this sister group relationship makes sense geographically: Ninetis and Magana are the only known Old World genera in Ninetinae. Nevertheless, the species newly described below is not assigned to Ninetis because all previously described representatives of Ninetis are very uniform morphologically despite their wide geographic range (from Namibia to the Arabian Peninsula), while Magana velox differs in several aspects (see diagnosis below).

description: A sunflower is a collection of distinct sets such that the intersection of any two of them is the same as the common intersection $C$ of all of them, and $|C|$ is smaller than each of the sets. A longstanding conjecture due to Erdős and Szemerédi states that the maximum size of a family of subsets of $[n]$ that contains no sunflower of fixed size $k>2$ is exponentially smaller than $2^n$ as $n\rightarrow\infty$. We consider this problem for multiple families. In particular, we obtain sharp or almost sharp bounds on the sum and product of $k$ families of subsets of $[n]$ that together contain no sunflower of size $k$ with one set from each family. For the sum, we prove that the maximum is $$(k-1)2^n+1+\sum_{s=n-k+2}^{n}\binom{n}{s}$$ for all $n \ge k \ge 3$, and for the $k=3$ case of the product, we prove that it is between $$\left(\frac{1}{8}+o(1)\right)2^{3n}\qquad \hbox{and} \qquad (0.13075+o(1))2^{3n}.$$

Robust and efficient preconditioners for the discontinuous Galerkin time-stepping method

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: The discontinuous Galerkin time-stepping method has many advantageous properties for solving parabolic equations. However, it requires the solution of a large nonsymmetric system at each time-step. This work develops a fully robust and efficient preconditioning strategy for solving these systems. Drawing on parabolic inf-sup theory, we first construct a left preconditioner that transforms the linear system to a symmetric positive definite problem to be solved by the preconditioned conjugate gradient algorithm. We then prove that the transformed system can be further preconditioned by an ideal block diagonal preconditioner, leading to a condition number bounded by 4 for any time-step size, any approximation order and any positive-definite self-adjoint spatial operators. Numerical experiments demonstrate the low condition numbers and fast convergence of the algorithm for both ideal and approximate preconditioners, and show the feasibility of the high-order solution of large problems.

description: We establish the existence of liftings into discrete subspaces of $\mathbf{H}(\mathrm{div})$ of piecewise polynomial data on locally refined simplicial partitions of polygonal/polyhedral domains. Our liftings are robust with respect to the polynomial degree. This result has important applications in the a posteriori error analysis of parabolic problems, where it permits the removal of so-called transition conditions that link two consecutive meshes. It can also be used in a the posteriori error analysis of elliptic problems, where it allows the treatment of meshes with arbitrary numbers of hanging nodes between elements. We present a constructive proof based on the a posteriori error analysis of an auxiliary elliptic problem with $H^{-1}$ source terms, thereby yielding results of independent interest. In particular, for such problems, we obtain guaranteed upper bounds on the error along with polynomial-degree robust local efficiency of the estimators.

Worker. Length 1 1/2 line.-Scarcely differing from the Ponera contracta of Europe; the antennae are however rather shorter, and the apical joint longer; the legs are shorter and thicker; but the most distinctive difference is the thickness of the scale, or node of the petiole, which in the present species is much thicker, particularly at its upper margin; in other respects they scarcely differ: the eyes are wanting, as in P. contracta: the palpi have not been examined.
Hab. Brazil. (Coll.W. Swainson.)
This species doubtless resembles very closely the Ponera ruficornis of Spinola, but he describes his insect as black, with red antennae: our species is entirely of a brownish-yellow, and appears to he distinct.

title: Transposition Diameter on Circular Binary Strings

Year: 2024

description: On a string of finite length, a (genomic) transposition is defined as the operation of
 exchanging two consecutive substrings. The minimum number of transpositions needed to transform one
 string into another one is the transposition distance that has been researched in recent years in
 Combinatorics and Computational Biology fields. In this paper, we study transposition distances on
 circular binary strings. A circular binary string is a string that consists of symbols 0 and 1 and
 regards its circular shifts as equivalent. First, we observed how circular binary strings are
 partitioned by different types of transpositions. For circular binary strings with $k$ 0-blocks ($k \geq 2$),
 the maximum transposition distance, called the transposition diameter, is $k - 1$. Given an upper bound
 on the transposition distance, the string pair is characterized by the functions related to partition.
 We present an algorithm that uses $k - 2$ operations to transform one string into another one. Finally,
 a characterization of a diametral pair of strings is shown.

Chibchea

description: Chibchea Huber, 2000
Chibchea Huber, 2000: 162; type species by original designation: Chibchea ika Huber, 2000.
Notes. The three new species below fit the original diagnosis of the genus (Huber 2000). The modified male cheliceral fangs seem to be a unique synapomorphy that unites the type species from Colombia with several other species from Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, and Argentina (Huber 2000). The new species share this modification and are thus likely close relatives of the type species. They are particularly similar in several respects to the Colombian C. valle Huber, 2000, a species that is only known from the male holotype.
Apart from two of the three species newly described below, the recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) included only two Chilean species of Chibchea that were tentatively identified as C. mapuche Huber, 2000 and C. picunche Huber, 2000. Both lack modifications of the male cheliceral fangs, and they were thus explicitly assigned tentatively to the genus in Huber (2000). The molecular phylogeny does not recover a close relationship between these Chilean species and the species newly described below, suggesting that Chibchea in its current scope is polyphyletic. In an ongoing molecular study (L.S. Carvalho et al., unpubl. data), the three new species described below form a monophyletic group with two undescribed Andean species that also have modified male cheliceral fangs (“L17-168” from Loreto, Peru; and “L17-230” from La Paz, Bolivia), further supporting the conclusion that this clade represents ‘true’ Chibchea even though we have no molecular data from the type species.
The recent molecular phylogeny of Pholcidae (Eberle et al. 2018) places the genus in a very basal position among Modisiminae but support values for these basal nodes are very low and the sister group of Chibchea is therefore essentially unknown.
The genus was originally thought to have an Andean distribution (Huber 2000). The three new species below extend the distribution to include large parts of the Amazon basin.

The number of triple systems without even cycles

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2017
Subjects: subject: Combinatorics (math.CO)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: For $k \ge 4$, a loose $k$-cycle $C_k$ is a hypergraph with distinct edges $e_1, e_2, \ldots, e_k$ such that consecutive edges (modulo $k$) intersect in exactly one vertex and all other pairs of edges are disjoint. Our main result is that for every even integer $k \ge 4$, there exists $c>0$ such that the number of triple systems with vertex set $[n]$ containing no $C_{k}$ is at most $2^{cn^2}$.
 An easy construction shows that the exponent is sharp in order of magnitude. This may be viewed as a hypergraph extension of the work of Morris and Saxton, who proved the analogous result for graphs which was a longstanding problem. For $r$-uniform hypergraphs with $r>3$, we improve the trivial upper bound but fall short of obtaining the order of magnitude in the exponent, which we conjecture is $n^{r-1}$.
 Our proof method is different than that used for most recent results of a similar flavor about enumerating discrete structures, since it does not use hypergraph containers. One novel ingredient is the use of some (new) quantitative estimates for an asymmetric version of the bipartite canonical Ramsey theorem.

In this paper, we study transposition distances on circular binary strings. A circular binary string is the string that consists of symbols $0$ and $1$ and regards its circular shifts as equivalent. The property of transpositions which partition strings is observed. A lower bound on the transposition distance is represented in terms of partitions. An upper bound on the transposition distance follows covering of the set of partitions. The transposition diameter is given with a necessary and sufficient condition.

description: This paper introduces the concept of Schrödinger’s Time, proposing that time exists as a quantum superposition until cognitively observed, at which point it collapses into a singular temporal experience. Drawing on principles of quantum mechanics, neuroscience, and psychology, the framework highlights how neurodivergent individuals, particularly those with ADHD, may interact with time in its uncollapsed state. By integrating existing research on time perception and neurodivergence, this paper introduces the Cognitive Temporal Unit (CTU) to quantify these interactions and invites collaboration to expand the model.
