Flag State Regulation of Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Regulatory Authority of Flags of Convenience and Franchised Registries

description: International shipping accounts for approximately 2-3% percent of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Under business as usual conditions, emissions from the sector are expected to double by 2050. The quantity of GHG emissions from shipping combined with the potential for reductions using existing technologies make the sector a strategic target for mitigation measures. In February of 2014, the Sabin Center for Climate Change Law published a white paper that concluded that sovereign states have broad authority under international law to regulate GHG emissions from vessels within their registry. However, many registries are structured such that the flag state has limited connection to or exercises limited control over registered vessels. For example, many flag states franchise their registries to private corporations that manage the registration of ships. In addition, with the rise of “flags of convenience,” a number of flag states have only weak ties with ships registered under their flag. This has led to questions as to how the structure of a registry affects states’ capacity to regulate. This white paper delves further into the issue of flag state authority to regulate GHG emissions particularly with respect to franchised registries and flags of convenience. This white paper assesses how these characteristics may affect the power of states in this regard and concludes that the presence of an open or franchised registry does not affect regulatory authority. However, developing nations with limited resources may face challenges promulgating effective emissions reductions regulations.

description: Body force modelling in lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) has been extensively studied in the incompressible limit but rarely discussed for thermal compressible flows. Here we present a systematic approach of incorporating body force in LBM which is valid for thermal compressible and non-equilibrium flows. In particular, a LBM forcing scheme accurate for the energy equation with second-order time accuracy is given. New and essential in this scheme is the third-moment contribution of the force term. It is shown via Chapman-Enskog analysis that the absence of this contribution causes an erroneous heat flux quadratic in Mach number and linear in temperature variation. The theoretical findings are verified and the necessity of the third-moment contribution demonstrated by numerical simulations.

description: The removal of magnetic flux from the quiet-sun photosphere is important for maintaining the statistical steady-state of the magnetic field there, for determining the magnetic flux budget of the Sun, and for estimating the rate of energy injected into the upper solar atmosphere. Magnetic feature death is a measurable proxy for the removal of detectable flux. We used the SWAMIS feature tracking code to understand how nearly 20000 detected magnetic features die in an hour-long sequence of Hinode/SOT/NFI magnetograms of a region of quiet Sun. Of the feature deaths that remove visible magnetic flux from the photosphere, the vast majority do so by a process that merely disperses the previously-detected flux so that it is too small and too weak to be detected. The behavior of the ensemble average of these dispersals is not consistent with a model of simple planar diffusion, suggesting that the dispersal is constrained by the evolving photospheric velocity field. We introduce the concept of the partial lifetime of magnetic features, and show that the partial lifetime due to Cancellation of magnetic flux, 22 h, is 3 times slower than previous measurements of the flux turnover time. This indicates that prior feature-based estimates of the flux replacement time may be too short, in contrast with the tendency for this quantity to decrease as resolution and instrumentation have improved. This suggests that dispersal of flux to smaller scales is more important for the replacement of magnetic fields in the quiet Sun than observed bipolar cancellation. We conclude that processes on spatial scales smaller than those visible to Hinode dominate the processes of flux emergence and cancellation, and therefore also the quantity of magnetic flux that threads the photosphere.

description: We analyze the magnetic field of electroweak dumbbells. While the magnetic field of the untwisted dumbbell is given by the usual dipole formula and falls of as $1/r^3$, dumbbells with twist have a novel twisted magnetic field that only falls off as $\cosθ/r^2$ (in spherical coordinates). We comment on the relevance of twisted electroweak dumbbells for understanding the coherence of the magnetic field generated at the electroweak phase transition.

description: Since 2011, the Sabin Center has maintained a compilation of climate change cases from outside the United States. This paper casts light on the “who, what, why, and how” of climate change litigation and investigates the role of the courts in the development of climate change policy outside of the United States. This study includes all climate change litigation decisions we have found from all jurisdictions outside of the U.S. through 2013. Cases were only included in the study if climate change played a central role in the issues being considered by the court. Through this process, 173 cases were identified. Several points emerge from a comparison of U.S. and non-U.S. litigation. U.S. climate change litigation has far outpaced climate litigation in any other jurisdiction. In fact, more lawsuits concerning climate change have been decided or settled in the U.S. than in the rest of the world combined. U.S. climate change litigation also differs from non-U.S. litigation in its role in the development of climate change policy. Litigation has played a central role in driving the course of climate regulation in the United States though it has not played nearly as important a role in the development of climate regulation anywhere else. Thus, while much climate litigation in the U.S. is strategic, seeking either to force or to block GHG regulation, climate change litigation elsewhere is primarily tactical, aimed at specific projects or details of European Union Emissions Trading System implementation.
title: Trait Variation and Long-term Population Dynamics of the Invasive Alliaria Petiolata (Garlic Mustard) Across Three Microhabitats in its Invaded Range
Creators: name: Hancock, Laura
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Long-term population dynamics across heterogeneous environments can be a major factor in determining species’ ability to expand their ranges and persist in novel environments. Whether and how the relative performance of populations in different microsites over time impacts invasion into new microsites is poorly understood. Though largely restricted to disturbed semi-shaded microhabitats in its home range, the invasive herb Alliaria petiolata (garlic mustard) successfully invades intact forest understories – a novel microhabitat – in its introduced range, where it is known to impact above and below ground community composition. To test the hypothesis that source-sink metapopulation dynamics may be promoting A. petiolata’s incursion into the forest understory, I utilized two multi-season field surveys – approximately a decade apart – to evaluate trait variation, biomass allocation, and long-term population demographics of A. petiolata growing at the forest edge, within the intact forest understory, and in the intermediate transition zone between the two. My results show that adult plants in the edge were taller and branchier, produced more fruits, and had higher total and reproductive biomass than plants in the intermediate and forest microhabitats. Over time, seedling density remained highest in the edge microhabitat compared to the forest and intermediate microhabitats, which had similar densities. Reproductive adult densities were similar among all microhabitats at the beginning of the study, but a decade later, all microhabitats exhibited a decline in the number of adult plants they supported. Populations in the intermediate microhabitat displayed the steepest decline in reproductive adults between sampling periods but still supported more adult plants than the forest microhabitat. Populations in all microhabitats were predicted to grow (λ>1) at the onset of the study. A decade later, declines in population size were only predicted in the forest understory (λ1). Since edge and intermediate patches had higher densities of adult plants which produced the most fruit and had larger reproductive biomass, it appears that the edge populations, and possibly the intermediate populations, have sustained the low-density forest populations through source-sink dynamics at my study sites.

The optical properties of the cavity walls are described in terms of realistic models for the effective permittivity and the permeability. Surface polaritons, i.e. electromagnetic modes that have at least partly an evanescent character, are shown to dominate the Casimir interaction at small separations. We analyze in detail the s-polarized polaritons, which are a characteristic feature of a magneto-dielectric configuration, and discuss their role in the repulsive Casimir force.

description: Recently, efficient use of energy has become an essential research topic for green communication. This paper studies the effect of optimal power controllers on the performance of delay-sensitive communication setups utilizing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ). The results are obtained for repetition time diversity (RTD) and incremental redundancy (INR) HARQ protocols. In all cases, the optimal power allocation, minimizing the outage-limited average transmission power, is obtained under both continuous and bursting communication models. Also, we investigate the system throughput in different conditions. The results indicate that the power efficiency is increased substantially, if adaptive power allocation is utilized. For instance, assume Rayleigh-fading channel, a maximum of two (re)transmission rounds with rates $\{1,\frac{1}{2}\}$ nats-per-channel-use and an outage probability constraint ${10}^{-3}$. Then, compared to uniform power allocation, optimal power allocation in RTD reduces the average power by 9 and 11 dB in the bursting and continuous communication models, respectively. In INR, these values are obtained to be 8 and 9 dB, respectively.

description: Energy efficiency measures provide tremendous opportunities for achieving effective and cost‐friendly reductions in the emissions of greenhouse
gases. In the absence of more comprehensive legislative efforts, proponents
of energy efficiency projects can look to existing environmental laws for tools to promote and encourage energy efficiency and conservation. One such law is the federal Clean Air Act (“CAA”), which empowers the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (“EPA”) to use a variety of mechanisms to address air pollution and protect the public health. Although the statute and its accompanying regulations are complex, the CAA provides a number of important avenues for advocates of energy efficiency programs. This White Paper aims to provide guidance on ways in which the CAA can be used to promote energy efficiency, by describing how advocates can participate in various actions under the CAA, as well as challenge final agency decisions that reflect insufficient consideration of the issue of energy efficiency and conservation. Proponents of energy efficiency projects who wish to take full advantage of the opportunities presented by the CAA also must pay close attention to state and federal environmental agency notices to ensure that they are aware of CAA developments that could provide these openings.
Discontinuous shear thickening without inertia in dense non-Brownian suspensions

description: A consensus is emerging that discontinuous shear thickening (DST) in dense suspensions marks a transition from a flow state where particles remain well separated by lubrication layers, to one dominated by frictional contacts. We show here that reasonable assumptions about contact proliferation predict two distinct types of DST in the absence of inertia. The first occurs at densities above the jamming point of frictional particles; here the thickened state is completely jammed and (unless particles deform) cannot flow without inhomogeneity or fracture. The second regime shows strain- rate hysteresis and arises at somewhat lower densities where the thickened phase flows smoothly. DST is predicted to arise when finite-range repulsions defer contact formation until a characteristic stress level is exceeded.

description: Measurements of the coherence factors (R_Kpipi0 and R_K3pi) and the average strong-phase differences (delta^Kpipi0_D and delta^K3pi_D) for the decays D0-> K-pi+pi0 and D0->K-pi+pi+pi- are presented. These parameters are important inputs to the determination of the unitarity triangle angle gamma in B+/- -> DK+/- decays, where D designates a D0 or D0bar meson decaying to a common final state. The measurements are made using quantum correlated DDbar decays collected by the CLEO-c experiment at the psi(3770) resonance, and augment a previously published analysis by the inclusion of new events in which the signal decay is tagged by the mode D-> K0Spi+pi-. The measurements also benefit from improved knowledge of external inputs, namely the D0D0bar mixing parameters, r_D^Kpi and several D-meson branching fractions. The measured values are R_Kpipi0 = 0.82 +- 0.07, delta_D^Kpipi0 = (164+20-14) deg., R_K3pi = 0.32+0.20-0.28 and delta^K3pi_D = (225+21_-78) deg. Consideration is given to how these measurements can be improved further by using the larger quantum-correlated data set collected by BESIII.

description: Shell closure structures are commonly observed phenomena associated with nuclear charge radii throughout the nuclide chart. Inspired by recent studies demonstrating that the abrupt change can be clearly observed in the charge radii of the scandium isotopic chain across the neutron number $N=20$, we further review the underlying mechanism of the enlarged charge radii for $^{42}$Sc based on the covariant density functional theory. The pairing correlations are tackled by solving the state-dependent Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer equations. Meanwhile, the neutron-proton correlation around the Fermi surface derived from the simultaneously unpaired proton and neutron is appropriately considered in describing the systematic evolution of nuclear charge radii. The calculated results suggest that the abrupt increase in charge radii across the $N=20$ shell closure seems to be improved along the scandium isotopic chain if the strong neutron-proton correlation is properly included.

title: Investigating Gallium Inclusion in Aluminum and Iron Oxyhydroxides
Creators: name: Palmer, Corey A
Publisher: name: University of Massachusetts Amherst

description: Because Ga shares many physicochemical properties with Al and Fe, Ga may be able to incorporate into Al and Fe oxy-hydroxides. Understanding how Ga incorporates into these oxy-hydroxides may be crucial for finding Ga-rich bauxite deposits. In order to find the difference in Ga inclusion rates into oxy-hydroxides, as well as understand the mechanisms for this Ga inclusion, Al and Fe oxy-hydroxides were synthesized in the lab with Ga additions of 2 mol % Ga and 20 mol % Ga for a low-Ga and high-Ga treatment, respectively, along with a no added Ga control. X-Ray diffraction analyses confirmed the formation of bayerite (α-Al(OH)3) and goethite (FeOOH) after 100 days (goethite long synthesis [LS]). A second batch of goethite was synthesized in the lab and aged for 60 hours (goethite short synthesis [SS]). Results showed the highest Ga inclusion rates in goethite LS minerals at 0.89 mol % / mol % Ga, then 0.17 mol % / mol % Ga in goethite SS, and 0.50 mol % / mol % Ga in bayerite. Scanning electron microscopy and electron microprobe analyses determined co-precipitation of Ga was the dominant Ga incorporation mechanism in bayerite over isomorphic substitution, where needle-like mineral assemblages began to form in the high-Ga treatments. Isomorphic substitution vii was dominant in both goethite batches. Additionally, Ga mol % in the high-Ga goethite LS and goethite SS minerals revealed a temporal aspect to Ga inclusion in goethite. Goethite LS high-Ga treatment minerals had Ga mol % of 16.8 ± 0.23 % compared to 3.34 ± 0.03 % for high-Ga treatment goethite SS minerals. This study highlights an advance in knowledge of Ga incorporation mechanisms into Al and Fe oxy-hydroxides and provides a basis for future studies to expand on these efforts.

description: Climate change and its predicted effect on precipitation, temperature, storm frequency and intensity, global sea levels, and numerous other factors will pose significant challenges for the maintenance and operations of built infrastructure. Climate change is predicted to exacerbate water-related issues, such as water supply shortages brought on by increasingly severe droughts and more frequent or intense flooding caused by extreme precipitation events. Executive Order 13514 and subsequent instructions from the Council on Environmental Quality (CEQ) have directed federal agencies to prepare for and adapt to the changing environment in which they will have to operate. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1970 requires federal agencies, before undertaking, funding or permitting major actions that may have a significant effect on the environment, to prepare an environmental impact statement (EIS) addressing the expected impacts on the environment and identifying potential alternatives and mitigation measures. A previous report published in July 2012 by Columbia’s Center for Climate Change Law (CCCL), “Consideration of Climate Change in Federal EISs, 2009-2011,” examined the varying degrees to which federal agencies addressed climate change and greenhouse gas emissions in their EISs. Using a similar approach, CCCL has prepared a database examining the treatment of water-related issues in all Final EISs reported to EPA from January 1 to September 30, 2012. The database, comprised of 149 FEISs, details the extent to which federal agencies address topics related to water and climate change. This report presents a summary of the trends and patterns represented in that database.

description: It is clear that mitigation measures are not enough to tackle climate change effects and, therefore, some adaptation measures will be needed to improve resiliency. The new Reverse Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA) analysis, so named by Professor Michael B. Gerrard, evaluates the impacts that the “transformed environment” -- a result of the adverse effects of climate change --  may cause to a project, plan, or program, in order to allow those undertaking these activities to act proactively. There are many countries that have taken action accordingly. The EU has elaborated “Guidances” on integrating climate and biodiversity into either the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) or the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) processes. Regardless of its importance, and despite the inclusion of some references to the adaptation of the projects to climate change, the review of the Directive 2011/92/EU on the EIA does not make a clear commitment for the REIA tool, losing a great opportunity to introduce this new instrument into the legal systems of all EU Member States to really meet its goal of achieving a high level of environmental protection, adapting the EIA to new challenges, among others, climate change.

description: Controlling multiple skyrmions in nanowires is important for their implementation in racetrack memory or neuromorphic computing. Here, we report on the dynamical behavior of two interacting skyrmions in confined devices with a comparison to a single skyrmion case. Although the two skyrmions shrink near the edges and follow a helical path, their behavior is different. Because the leading skyrmion is between the edge and the trailing one, its size is reduced further and collapses at a lower current density compared to the single skyrmion case. For higher current density, both skyrmions are annihilated with a core-collapse mechanism for the leading one followed by a bubble-collapse mechanism for the trailing one.

Using a combination of temporal coupled mode theory and nonlinear finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations, we study the nonlinear dynamics of resonant four-wave mixing processes and demonstrate the possibility of observing high-efficiency limit cycles and steady-state conversion corresponding to $\approx 100$% depletion of the pump light at low powers, even including effects due to losses, self- and cross-phase modulation, and imperfect frequency matching. Assuming operation in the telecom range, we predict close to perfect quantum efficiencies at reasonably low $\sim$ 50 mW input powers in silicon micrometer-scale cavities.

Most existing matrix completion work deals with sampling procedures that are independent of the underlying data values. While this assumption allows the derivation of nice theoretical guarantees, it seldom holds in real-world applications. In this paper, we consider various settings where the sampling mask is dependent on the underlying data values, motivated by applications in sensing, sequential decision-making, and recommender systems. Through a series of experiments, we study and compare the performance of various LRMC algorithms that were originally successful for data-independent sampling patterns.

description: As U.S. coal exports increase and new infrastructure is proposed to improve access to burgeoning markets in Asia, controversy has arisen regarding the scope of environmental review that should be carried out by government. In particular, there is significant disagreement as to whether the end-use of
exported coal and the emissions generated by its combustion fall within the scope of environmental review. The National Environmental Policy Act of 1969 (NEPA) sets out an assessment process that applies to many Federal agency actions relating to coal export, including the grant of leases for coal
mines, approval for new railway construction and the grant of permits for coal export terminals. Under NEPA, an environmental impact statement (EIS) must be prepared for any major Federal action significantly affecting the quality of the human environment. This includes direct, indirect and cumulative effects. The question of which indirect consequences of an action should be considered, and how far the review extends into upstream or downstream effects, is essentially a question of causation. Where a downstream event, such as the export and end-use of coal, is a reasonably foreseeable consequence of an action or there is a reasonably close causal relationship, then those downstream effects are within the scope of NEPA review. The greatest challenge in evaluating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions under NEPA is determining when they are likely to have a “significant” impact on the environment. Climate change is a highly complex problem, and the GHGs emitted by any single project are unlikely to have a substantial impact on global
atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide. Thus, agencies need to consider the cumulative impacts of these projects -- as required by NEPA -- and their relative contribution to climate change.

Broad iron lines in neutrons stars: dynamical broadening or wind scattering?

description: Broad iron emission lines are observed in many accreting systems from black holes in AGN and X-ray binaries to neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries. The origin of the line broadening is often interpreted as due to dynamical broadening and relativistic effects. However, alternative interpretations have been proposed, included broadening due to Compton scattering in a wind or accretion disk atmosphere. Here we explore the observational signatures expected from broadening in a wind, in particular that the iron line width should increase with an increase in the column density of the absorber (due to an increase in the number of scatterings). We study the data from three neutron star low-mass X-ray binaries where both a broad iron emission line and absorption lines are seen simultaneously, and show that there is no significant correlation between line width and column density. This favors an inner disk origin for the line broadening rather than scattering in a wind.

description: The current analysis of wireless networks whose transceivers are confined to streets is largely based on Poissonian models, such as Poisson line processes and Poisson line Cox processes. We demonstrate important scenarios where a model with a finite and deterministic number of streets, termed binomial line process, is more accurate. We characterize the statistical properties of the BLP and the corresponding binomial line Cox process and apply them to analyze the performance of a network whose access points are deployed along the streets of a city. Such a deployment scenario will be typical for 5G and future wireless networks. In order to obtain a fine-grained insight into the network performance, we derive the meta distribution of the signal-to-interference and noise ratio. Accordingly, we investigate the mean local delay in transmission and the density of successful transmission. These metrics, respectively, characterize the latency and coverage performance of the network and are key performance indicators of next-generation wireless systems.

description: A series of three HST/STIS spectroscopic mappings, spaced approximately one year apart, reveal three partial arcs in [Fe II] and [Ni II] emissions moving outward from eta Carinae. We identify these arcs with the shell-like structures, seen in the 3D hydrodynamical simulations, formed by compression of the primary wind by the secondary wind during periastron passages.

description: In the face of persistent air quality problems, as well as emerging concerns such as greenhouse gases and state budgetary constraints, states are looking to new ways to maximize air quality while minimizing costs. The non-profit Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) assists states in air quality management, and has recently proposed a new methodology for states to use in order to take a proactive, forward-thinking approach to optimize air quality. RAP’s proposed Integrated, Multi-Pollutant Planning for Energy and Air Quality (IMPEAQ) fosters long-range planning, multi-pollutant analysis and cost
optimization modeling to enable state air quality districts to achieve efficient gains in air quality. At RAP’s request, the Center for Climate Change Law has undertaken an analysis of potential legal issues that might arise during the use of IMPEAQ. This white paper assesses the general statutory and regulatory framework applicable to IMPEAQ as a voluntary program for states to adopt for their air quality planning. It first addresses threshold issues: state authority under the Clean Air Act to voluntarily implement integrated planning using IMPEAQ and the permissibility of using a multi-pollutant approach to air quality planning. It then examines two key issues concerning emerging control measures: how states can use energy efficiency and renewable energy (EERE) programs in their State Implementation Plans (SIPs) and to what extent states may allow novel measures to satisfy the Act’s source-specific control technology requirements. Our analysis finds that the IMPEAQ approach would be generally permissible under the Clean Air Act and EPA policy, given the wide discretion states have to develop their air quality plans and to choose the control measures they wish to use in their SIPs. Further, emerging control measures identified through the IMPEAQ process, such as energy efficiency and renewable energy programs, may qualify for SIP credit where the state meets the specific statutory and regulatory requirements for doing so. An open
issue -- though arguably allowable under the Act -- is the degree to which states could opt to allow offsite programs to substitute for site-specific technology controls. Based on this analysis, we conclude that IMPEAQ represents a viable planning approach for states to voluntarily adopt for integrated, multi-pollutant air quality planning. The proposed general framework is allowable under the Clean Air Act and is consistent with EPA’s policy that favors a multi-pollutant analysis and encourages the use of cost-effective measures to improve air quality. However, we must caution that because the specifics of planning under the IMPEAQ approach are still under development, this paper is not intended to assess all potential aspects of IMPEAQ planning.
States Should Think Twice Before Refusing Any Response to EPA's Clean Power Rules

description: The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) proposed rules for existing power plants play a central role in the Obama Administration’s plans for regulating greenhouse gas emissions to prevent climate change. The rules, technically known as the “Existing Source Performance Standards,” will require a major effort from many states to change their methods of producing electricity, disrupting the status quo in an area long the province of state public service commissions. Not surprisingly, the proposed rules generated an avalanche of comments to EPA ranging from full support to vehement opposition, with the commenters also staking out positions on various technical issues. Law firms are raising questions about the rules' validity and gearing up to take part in the inevitable litigation over them. The high-profile debate has led some critics of the rules to argue that states should oppose them by simply opting out of the entire regulatory process and refusing any response to the rules. The movement has even acquired a slogan: “Just Say No.” Some states have begun to embrace the "Just Say No" idea by considering legislation that, to varying degrees, would hobble the adoption of state plans complying with the upcoming regulations.  The “Just Say No” slogan is pithy, and as an immediate political response, states may be tempted to follow its advice by taking legislative or executive action that prevents or hinders the state from responding to the upcoming rules. Before taking that step, however, states should carefully consider the consequences. If they do so objectively, it becomes apparent that opting out of the process at this point can result in significant disadvantages.

description: The retail landscape in India is changing rapidly and is being scrutinized by large scale investments by foreign and domestic players. A still-turbulent economy, new marketing channels, advanced digital technologies, and increasingly demanding consumers all challenge retailers to find new ways of remaining competitive. The purchasing decision journey for consumers involves multiple steps, many of which are now being captured, digitized, and transformed into metrics and data. As this data becomes an implied derivative of essential retail and consumer technologies, the focus is shifting from how to acquire the data to how to extract insights from it - findings that can be turned into differentiation and competitive advantage for the retailer and a better shopper experience for the consumer. Indian retailing is growing fast and impacting the consumer preferences across the country. There is no doubt that business analytics is providing concrete value to thousands of organizations around the world. Also, India seems to play an important role in propagating analytics and data science as disciplines around the world. Currently we are seeing a quicker adoption of analytics and consequently, a huge demand for companies that provide these services. This article is based on an exploratory study on the scope and challenges in retail analytics in India.
Slow, bursty dynamics as the consequence of quenched network topologies

description: Bursty dynamics of agents is shown to appear at criticality or in extended Griffiths phases, even in case of Poisson processes. I provide numerical evidence for power-law type of inter-communication time distributions by simulating the Contact Process and the Susceptible-Infected-Susceptible model. This observation suggests that in case of non-stationary bursty systems the observed non-poissonian behavior can emerge as the consequence of an underlying hidden poissonian network process, which is either critical or exhibits strong rare-region effects. On contrary, in time varying networks rare-region effects do not cause deviation from the mean-field behavior and heterogeneity induced burstyness is absent.

description: A novel self-assembly strategy for polypeptide nanostructure design was presented in [Design of a single-chain polypeptide tetrahedron assembled from coiled-coil segments, Nature Chemical Biology 9 (2013) 362--366]. The first mathematical model (polypeptide nanostructure can naturally be presented as a skeleton graph of a polyhedron) from [Stable traces as a model for self-assembly of polypeptide nanoscale polyhedrons, MATCH Commun. Math. Comput. Chem. 70 (2013) 317-330] introduced stable traces as the appropriate mathematical description, yet we find them deficient in modeling graphs with either very small (less or equal to 2) or large (greater or equal to 6) degree vertices. We introduce strong traces which remedy both of the above mentioned drawbacks. We show that every connected graph admits a strong trace by studying a connection between strong traces and graph embeddings. Further we also characterize graphs which admit parallel (resp. antiparallel) strong traces.
