description: In three complementary essays, this dissertation analyzes the causes of violent conflict and the impact of third-party interventions that seek to reduce violence and generate post-conflict political stability. In the first essay, I analyze how regimes in fragile states cultivate strong but loyal armies. Drawing on an original survey conducted with members of the Congolese army operating in North Kivu, the largest operational theater in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the epicenter of one of the most violent conflicts in Africa, I show that regime elites withhold payments in order to distinguish loyalty and evidence that this screening strategy drives high levels of civilian abuse. In the second essay, I assess the impact of ``Eyes on Darfur'', the first-ever satellite intervention implemented by Amnesty International USA amidst a brutal genocide with the objective of reducing violence. Using a high-frequency, sub-national dataset on genocidal violence, I show that this intervention resulted in pernicious and persistent effects: monitored areas experienced increases in violence during the program as well as in subsequent years, as did neighboring areas. In the third essay, and in collaboration with Lauren Young, we assess how peacekeepers cultivate cooperation with local populations in Haiti. Using a novel survey, we find that exposure to security and relief activities are associated with increases in cooperation whereas exposure to peacekeeper abuse undermines cooperative behavior. Together, these essays articulate a set of causes for violence against civilians rooted in the political economy of state institutions, analyze how human rights interventions are mediated by the underlying institutional dynamics in the countries in which they are launched, and examine how keeping the peace stems from altering the cooperative incentives local populations face.

Violence and Empathy: Jennifer Walshe’s XXX_LIVE_NUDE_GIRLS!!! as a Simulation of Acquaintance Rape

description: This paper is an analysis of Jennifer Walshe’s 2003 multimedia Barbie opera XXX_LIVE_NUDE_GIRLS!!!, with a particular focus on the opera’s treatment of sexual assault. I argue that in addition to depicting an instance of acquaintance rape directly in the narrative, Walshe’s entire opera can be read as a simulation of an experience of acquaintance rape and its aftermath. Drawing on sexual assault research and case studies, I demonstrate that XXX_LIVE_NUDE_GIRLS!!! creates this simulation in three ways. First, plot points are initially obscured and later clarified. This slow revelation simulates the phenomenon of delayed recognition (in which many acquaintance rape victims do not immediately recognize their experience as rape). Second, the opera’s overwhelming multiplicity of intersecting and diverging sonic, musical, visual, and textual streams simulates the complex web of communications surrounding an instance of acquaintance rape. Third, the drastic reduction of sonic and visual information and the emotionally dissonant music in the rape scene simulate the phenomenon of disassociation. By creating a simulation instead of a mere representation, Walshe engenders enhanced empathy for victims of sexual assault.

 SPECIES SCORED:? Bettongia † moyesi.
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Henk’s Hollow and Two Trees sites (Riversleigh Faunal Zone C), Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Riversleigh Faunal Zone C is interpreted to be middle Miocene based on biostratigraphy (see above). In the absence of radiometric dates, we have assumed the entire span of the middle Miocene (Langhian to Serravallian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this terminal.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 15.970 –11.630 Mya.
 REMARKS: Flannery and Archer (1987b) referred this fossil taxon, which is represented by a partial skull and associated mandibles plus an additional left mandibular fragment, to the Recent potoroid genus Bettongia, but we consider it only questionably a member of this genus based on available evidence, which we summarize briefly here. Flannery and Archer (1987b) noted particular similarities between? B. † moyesi and the living B. lesueur. The phylogenetic analysis of Kear et al. (2007) recovered a sister-group relationship between? B. † moyesi and the extant potoroid Potorous tridactylus to the exclusion of other macropodiforms in their taxon sample, supporting the potoroid affinities of? B. † moyesi. However, P. tridactylus was the sole Recent potoroid included by Kear et al. (2007), so the precise position of? B. † moyesi within Potoroidae (and, particularly, its relationship to recent Bettongia species) remained uncertain in this analysis. The phylogenetic analysis of Travouillon et al. (2016), meanwhile, recovered? B. † moyesi within Potoroidae but outside the crown clade. Some other published analyses have failed to place? B. † moyesi within Potoroidae (Travouillon et al., 2015a: fig. 5A; Butler et al., 2016, 2018; den Boer and Kear, 2018: supplemental data), or have found its relationship relative to Macropodidae and Potoroidae to be largely unresolved (Bates et al., 2014; Black et al., 2014c; Travouillon et al., 2014b, 2015a: fig. 5B; Cooke et al., 2015; den Boer and Kear, 2018: supplemental data).

description: We use hexagonalization to compute four-point correlation functions of long BPS operators with special R-charge polarizations. We perform the computation at weak coupling and show that at any loop order our correlators can be expressed in terms of single-valued polylogarithms with uniform maximal transcendentality. As a check of our results we extract nine-loop OPE data and compare it against sum rules of (squared) structures constants of non-protected exchanged operators described by hundreds of Bethe solutions.

description: Context: The complex system HD 100453 AB with a ring-like circumprimary disk and two spiral arms, one of which is pointing to the secondary, is a good laboratory to test spiral formation theories. Aims: To quantify the interaction of HD 100453 B with the circumprimary disk. Methods: Using ALMA band 6 dust continuum and CO isotopologue observations we study the HD 100453 AB system with a spatial resolution of 0.09" x 0.17" at 234 GHz. We use SPH simulations and orbital fitting to investigate the tidal influence of the companion on the disk. Results: We resolve the continuum emission around HD 100453 A into a disk between 0.22" and 0.40" with an inclination of 29.5 deg. and a position angle of 151.0 deg., an unresolved inner disk, and excess mm emission cospatial with the northern spiral arm which was previously detected using scattered light observations. We also detect CO emission from 7 au (well within the disk cavity) out to 1.10", i.e., overlapping with HD 100453 B at least in projection. The outer CO disk PA and inclination differ by up to 10 deg. from the values found for the inner CO disk and the dust continuum emission, which we interpret as due to gravitational interaction with HD 100453 B. Both the spatial extent of the CO disk and the detection of mm emission at the same location as the northern spiral arm are in disagreement with the previously proposed near co-planar orbit of HD 100453 B. Conclusions: We conclude that HD 100453 B has an orbit that is significantly misaligned with the circumprimary disk. Because it is unclear whether such an orbit can explain the observed system geometry we highlight an alternative scenario that explains all detected disk features where another, (yet) undetected, low mass close companion within the disk cavity, shepherds a misaligned inner disk whose slowly precessing shadows excite the spiral arms.

description: During the fabrication process of large scale silicene through common chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technique, polycrystalline films are quite likely to be produced, and the existence of Kapitza thermal resistance along grain boundaries could result in substantial changes of their thermal properties. In the present study, the thermal transport along polycrystalline silicene was evaluated by performing a multiscale method. Non-equilibrium molecular dynamics simulations (NEMD) was carried out to assess the interfacial thermal resistance of various constructed grain boundaries in silicene as well as to examine the effects of tensile strain and the mean temperature on the interfacial thermal resistance. In the following stage, the effective thermal conductivity of polycrystalline silicene was investigated considering the effects of grain size and tensile strain. Our results indicate that the average values of Kapitza conductance at grain boundaries at room temperature were estimated nearly 2.56*10^9 W/m2K and 2.46*10^9 W/m2K through utilizing Tersoff and Stillinger-Weber interatomic potentials, respectively. Also, in spite of the mean temperature whose increment does not change Kapitza resistance, the interfacial thermal resistance can be controlled by applying strain. Furthermore, it was found that, by tuning the grain size of polycrystalline silicene, its thermal conductivity can be modulated up to one order of magnitude.

description: The mechanism of fluid slip on a solid surface has been linked to surface diffusion, by which mobile adsorbed fluid molecules perform hops between adsorption sites. However, slip velocity arising from this surface hopping mechanism has been estimated to be significantly lower than that observed experimentally. In this paper, we propose a re-adsorption mechanism for fluid slip. Slip velocity predictions via this mechanism show the improved agreement with experimental measurements.

The alternating PBW basis for the positive part of $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$

description: The positive part $U^+_q$ of $U_q(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_2)$ has a presentation with two generators $A,B$ that satisfy the cubic $q$-Serre relations. We introduce a PBW basis for $U^+_q$, said to be alternating. Each element of this PBW basis commutes with exactly one of $A$, $B$, $qAB-q^{-1}BA$. This gives three types of PBW basis elements; the elements of each type mutually commute. We interpret the alternating PBW basis in terms of a $q$-shuffle algebra associated with affine $\mathfrak{sl}_2$. We show how the alternating PBW basis is related to the PBW basis for $U^+_q$ found by Damiani in 1993.

Violent or Nonviolent Means to Political Ends: What Accounts for Variation in Tactics Among Dissident Organizations Targeting Domestic Governments?
Creators: Lins de Albuquerque, Adriana
Publisher: name: Columbia University
Year: 2014
Subjects: subject: Political science
subject: FOS: Political science

description: What determines whether organizations with maximalist demands - those calling for regime change and increased political self-determination - employ violent or nonviolent tactics to make their governments acquiesce in political demands? More specifically, why do some organizations employ strikes and demonstrations whereas others employ guerrilla warfare/conventional warfare, and others still terrorist tactics, against their governments?
      	I infer from bargaining theory that rational organizations should prefer to use nonviolent means of contestation to resolve conflicts of interests with target regimes because it is generally less costly than employing violent tactics. When nonviolent protest cannot be employed due to fear of lethal government repression, inability to mobilize enough participants to pose a military challenge, or inability to solve the information problem using nonviolent tactics, organizations are either deterred from using any tactic at all or they employ violent tactics.
      	Whether they do the former or the latter, and which type of violent tactic they employ depends on organizations' ability to mobilize supporters to participate in contention, which in turn depends on popular satisfaction with the status quo.
      	I argue that organizations' choice of tactics depends on two key factors: 1) Anticipated repression of nonviolent protest; and 2) Popular satisfaction with the status quo. I refer to this theory as mobilization theory.
      	 I evaluate the empirical support for this theory as well as the predominant theory in the existing literature, opportunity structure theory, by using statistics to analyze organizational choice of tactics in nine high state capacity countries in the Middle East and North Africa from 1980-2004 and 37 low state capacity countries in Africa from 1990-2010.

 SPECIES SCORED: † Bohra illuminata.
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Last Tree Cave, Nullarbor Plain, southeastern Western Australia.
AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Prideaux et al. (2007) identified fossils from the Last Tree Cave as early middle Pleistocene; we have interpreted this as corresponding to the first half of the Chibanian stage (Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]).
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 0.774 –0.452 Mya.
 REMARKS: † Bohra paulae was originally described and identified as a plesiomorphic tree kangaroo by Flannery and Szalay (1982) based on postcranial elements from Plio-Pleistocene deposits from Wellington Caves in New South Wales. A second species, † B. wilkinsonorum, was named by Dawson (2004) based on a single partial juvenile maxilla from the late Pliocene Chinchilla Local Fauna in southeastern Queensland. Prideaux and Warburton (2008) described a third species, † B. illuminata, based on exceptionally well-preserved craniodental material from early middle Pleistocene cave deposits in the Nullarbor Plain. A fourth species, † B. nullarbora, has also been described, again based on specimens from early middle Pleistocene cave deposits in the Nullarbor Plain (Prideaux and Warburton, 2009). Prideaux and Warburton (2008) noted that some aspects of the craniodental morphology of † B. illuminata are more similar to extant Petrogale species (particularly P. brachyotis), than to extant Dendrolagus species. In their subsequent phylogenetic analysis, Prideaux and Warburton (2010) recovered † B. illuminata as the sister taxon to Dendrolagus, with P. brachyotis (the sole Petrogale species included in their matrix) as sister to this clade, and referred to the † Bohra - Dendrolagus - Petrogale clade as Dendrolagini (see also Jackson and Groves, 2015). By contrast, Flannery (1989) and Kear and Cooke (2001) restricted Dendrolagini to † Bohra and Dendrolagus only. Recent molecular and total-evidence phylogenies consistently support a sister-group relationship between Petrogale (sensu Groves, 2005, i.e., including Peradorcas) and Dendrolagus (see, e.g., Meredith et al., 2009a, 2009b; Phillips et al., 2013; Llamas et al., 2015; Mitchell et al., 2014; Dodt et al., 2017; Cascini et al., 2019; Celik et al., 2019; Álvarez-Carretero et al., 2021).

description: ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) experiment at CERN LHC is designed to study the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) in heavy-ion collisions. In 2019-2020 the upgrade of CERN LHC will increase the luminosity and the collision rate beyond the design parameters of the current ALICE setup. To be able to benefit from the improved performance of the LHC, ALICE will upgrade several of its key detector systems including the Fast Interaction Trigger (FIT) [2]. FIT is designed to provide the functionality of the old forward detectors while retaining or even improving their performance. It will provide Minimum Bias trigger with efficiency higher than 90% for pp collisions, measure luminosity for pp and Pb-Pb, sustain interaction rates up to 1MHz and 50kHz, respectively. FIT will determine the collision time with a resolution better than 50ps, and will be used to measure the event multiplicity, the centrality and the reaction plane. The detector consists of 2 arrays of Cherenkov radiators with MCP-PMT sensors, placed on both sides of the interaction point and of a single large-diameter scintillator ring. This presentation will discuss the main design concepts, detector construction, beam test results, MC simulations, and the results of detector performance studies.

 SPECIES SCORED: † Gangaroo bilamina (type species), † G. bites, † G. robustiter.
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Riversleigh Faunal zones B and C, Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Riversleigh Faunal zones B and C are interpreted to be early Miocene and middle Miocene respectively, based on biostratigraphy (see above). In the absence of radiometric dates, we have assumed the entire span of the early and middle Miocene (Aquitanian to Serravallian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this terminal.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 23.030 –11.630 Mya.
 REMARKS: Cooke (1997a) described † Gangaroo bilamina based on isolated mandibles from several sites in Riversleigh Faunal Zone B and referred this taxon to the macropodiform subfamily †Bulungamayinae, which was erected by Flannery et al. (1983) and placed by those authors within Potoroidae. Subsequent studies have suggested that † Gangaroo and other “bulungamayines” are not in fact potoroids, but instead likely form a paraphyletic assemblage at the base of Macropodidae (Cooke, 1997a, 1997b, 2006; Cooke and Kear, 1999; Kear and Cooke, 2001; Prideaux, 2004; Kear et al., 2007; Kear and Pledge, 2008; Prideaux and Warburton, 2010; Black et al., 2014c; Phillips, 2015; Travouillon et al., 2014b, 2015a, 2016; Cooke et al., 2015; Butler et al., 2016, 2018; den Boer and Kear, 2018: supplemental data; Cascini et al., 2019).
 Well-preserved craniodental material of † Ganguroo bilamina is known from Riversleigh Faunal Zone B sites (Cooke, 1997b; Travouillon et al., 2014b), with a second species, † G. robustiter, known from Riversleigh Faunal zones C and D (Cooke et al., 2015). A third species, † G. bites, is known only from lower jaw material from Faunal Zone B (Travouillon et al., 2014b). Specimens of all three species were used to code this terminal, but we only examined the Riversleigh Faunal Zone C specimens of † G. robustiter, so we restrict the assigned age range of our † Ganguroo terminal to early to middle Miocene (see above).

description: Without addressing the measurement problem (i.e. what causes the wave function to ``collapse'', or to ``branch'', or a history to become realized, or a property to actualize), I discuss the problem of the timing of the quantum measurement: assuming that in an appropriate sense a measurement happens, when precisely does it happen? This question can be posed within most interpretations of quantum mechanics. By introducing the operator M, which measures whether or not the quantum measurement has happened, I suggest that, contrary to what is often claimed, quantum mechanics does provide a precise answer to this question, although a somewhat surprising one.

Year: 2018

description: The University of British Columbia is a leading institution in creating a place where students, faculty, and staff can live, work, play, learn, and interact. With their vision of creating a sustainable campus that promotes both community and environmental health, transportation is one of the key elements that needs to be addressed to meet their listed targets and goals. UBC is a proven regional trendsetter in sustainable transportation, which makes the university responsible for moving the agenda forward. As a result, the Shifting Gears provides a prime opportunity to plan a neighbourhood that supports the university’s existing values through a transportation and connectivity lens. Transportation and connectivity in this project entails fostering safe, efficient, and innovative connections that promote active and public modes of transportation to, from, and within the Stadium Road Neighbourhood. As a neighbourhood that is in its initial planning stages, this project was approached in a way to present comprehensive recommendations that respond to the campus’ existing conditions and needs. Therefore, this project includes a thorough review of existing campus policies and existing transportation conditions that led to the creation of a needs assessment to respond to the existing gaps in campus transportation. Given the scope of the project, these needs were addressed in four main focus areas near or within the site where interventions for transportation and connectivity can have the biggest impact. These areas include East Mall, West 16th, parking for the site, and neighbourhood movement design. Several different interventions were evaluated based on the project objectives, and the best performing intervention for each focus area was chosen and presented as our final recommendation. These recommendations support the current transportation values and behaviours of the potential SRN users while also promoting and accommodating a future where innovative and sustainable transportation technologies and designs become the norm at UBC.

description: The $^{12}$CO $(J=1\rightarrow0)$ velocity fields of a sample of 20 nearby spiral galaxies, selected from the CO Multi-line Imaging of Nearby Galaxies (COMING) legacy project of Nobeyama Radio Observatory, have been analyzed by Fourier decomposition to determine their basic kinematic properties, such as circular and noncircular velocities. On average, the investigated barred (SAB and SB) galaxies exhibit a ratio of noncircular to circular velocities of molecular gas larger by a factor of 1.5-2 than non-barred (SA) spiral galaxies at radii within the bar semimajor axis $a_\mathrm{b}$ at 1 kpc resolution, with a maximum at a radius of $R/a_\mathrm{b}\sim0.3$. Residual velocity field images, created by subtracting model velocity fields from the data, reveal that this trend is caused by kpc-scale streaming motions of molecular gas in the bar region. Applying a new method based on radial velocity reversal, we estimated the corotation radius $R_\mathrm{CR}$ and bar pattern speed $Ω_\mathrm{b}$ in seven SAB and SB systems. The ratio of the corotation to bar radius is found to be in a range of $\mathcal{R}\equiv R_\mathrm{CR}/a_\mathrm{b}\sim0.8\mathrm{-}1.6$, suggesting that intermediate (SBb-SBc), luminous barred spiral galaxies host fast and slow rotator bars. Tentative negative correlations are found for $Ω_\mathrm{b}$ vs. $a_\mathrm{b}$ and $Ω_\mathrm{b}$ vs. total stellar mass $M_\ast$, indicating that bars in massive disks are larger and rotate slower, possibly a consequence of angular momentum transfer. The kinematic properties of SAB and SB galaxies, derived from Fourier decomposition, are compared with recent numerical simulations that incorporate various rotation curve models and galaxy interactions.

description: This case study explored the ways that aspects of a high school blended learning program (pseudonym: BL High) encourage or discourage personalization. For K-12 learners a major concern exists in the increasingly rigid dominion of the programmatic over the personal, which leaves many students disengaged and disconnected. Having expanded the ways in which students can interact with curriculum and teachers, 21st-century technology introduces new conditions that may, or may not, encourage personalization instead of standardized, efficiency-based policies and practices.In response to digital technology’s possible impact on education, this study documents student and teacher experiences as evidence of the ways in which personalization is encouraged or discouraged. Personalization was approached generally as a matter of context and power, such that factors shaping the learning process could be altered and that each learner could make decisions about those factors. Through the participation of nine students and three teachers, data were collected in interviews, photographs, and program and course documents. Findings showed that personalization at BL High was a complex matter that occurred through a collection of factors and a series of decisions. That collection of factors allowed students to engage in learning in and out of school while also supporting connections to school peers and teachers. The collection of factors was labeled the PATH model of personalization and was conjunctively defined as the overlap of program, agency, time, and help. Overarching findings were threefold: (a) the learning process at school involved far less flexibility in content and assignments than anticipated, (b) that limited flexibility coincided with student learning and agency that extended to personal passions beyond the school program, and (c) flexible timing existed as a double-edged sword, providing students with the opportunity to structure their use of time and pursue passions of their choosing but also leaving them at risk of time management challenges and stalled academic progress. Implications are discussed for researchers, teachers and school leaders, and the field of gifted education.

 SPECIES SCORED: † Hadronomas puckridgi (type and only described species).
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Alcoota Local Fauna, Alcoota Station, Northern Territory, Australia.
AGE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Black et al. (2013: 1036) summarized evidence regarding the age of the Alcoota Local Fauna, which may be late Miocene (“Mitchellian,” ~8.2–10.8 Mya; Piper et al., 2006) or latest late Miocene to earliest Pliocene (“Cheltenhamian,” ~4.5–6.5 Mya; Fitzgerald and Kool, 2015). Congruent with this, Megirian et al. (2010) placed the Alcoota Local Fauna within their “Waitean” Australian Land Mammal Age, for which they gave boundary estimates of 5 and 12 Mya. This age range has been assumed in subsequent papers on the Alcoota Local Fauna (e.g., Yates, 2014; 2015a) and has been followed here.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 12.000 –5.000 Mya.
 REMARKS: Woodburne (1967) described † Hadronomas puckridgi based on fragmentary dental and mandibular specimens from the Alcoota Local Fauna, identifying it as a macropodid of uncertain affinities. Subsequent discovery of more complete cranial and also postcranial material led Murray (1989, 1991, 1995) to propose a close relationship between this taxon and sthenurine macropodids. Prideaux (2004) similarly concluded that † H. puckridgi is an early sthenurine, and this hypothesis has been supported in numerous subsequent phylogenetic analyses (Kear et al., 2007; Prideaux and Warburton, 2010; Prideaux and Tedford, 2012; Bates et al., 2014; Black et al., 2014c; Llamas et al., 2015: supplementary material; Travouillon et al., 2014b, 2015a, 2016; Cooke et al., 2015; Butler et al., 2018; den Boer and Kear, 2018: supplemental data; Cascini et al., 2019).

Envelopes and vertical amplitudes of disk-crossing orbits
Creators: name: Vieira, Ronaldo S. S.
name: Ramos-Caro, Javier
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics of Galaxies (astro-ph.GA)

description: We recently found that regular orbits in axially symmetric galactic disks have their envelopes $Z(R)$ accurately described by the relation $Z(R)\propto[Σ_I(R)]^{-1/3}$, if their amplitudes are comparable to the disk thickness, where $Σ_I$ is the surface density of the disk (integrated over its whole vertical range). Moreover, the usual adiabatic approximation gives a good description of the orbits' envelopes for low vertical amplitudes. However, these two approaches are apparently disconnected, since their expressions differ qualitatively. Our purpose in this paper is to fill this gap by extending these previous formulae to regular orbits with arbitrary vertical amplitudes inside the disk. We compare existing $Z(R)$ estimates: the razor-thin disk case, the adiabatic approximation (low-amplitude orbits in three-dimensional disks), and the integrated surface-density estimate (high-amplitude orbits in three-dimensional disks) in order to establish a connection between them. The formula presented here links the aforementioned results in an elegant and continuous way, being valid for vertical amplitudes throughout the whole vertical extension of the disk and with an expression which has the same form for all regimes. The advantage of the present formalism is the dependence of $Z(R)$ only on observable quantities, namely the disk's vertically integrated surface density, without the need to obtain the gravitational potential for the system.

description: We derive and classify all regular solutions of the boundary Yang-Baxter equation for 19-vertex models known as Zamolodchikov-Fateev or $A_{1}^{(1)}$ model, Izergin-Korepin or $A_{2}^{(2)}$ model, sl(2|1) model and osp(2|1) model. We find that there is a general solution for $A_{1}^{(1)}$ and sl(2|1) models. In both models it is a complete K-matrix with three free parameters. For the $A_{2}^{(2)}$ and osp(2|1) models we find three general solutions, being two complete reflection K-matrices solutions and one incomplete reflection K-matrix solution with some null entries. In both models these solutions have two free parameters. Integrable spin-1 Hamiltonians with general boundary interactions are also presented. Several reduced solutions from these general solutions are presented in the appendices.

 SPECIES SCORED: † Silvabestius johnnilandi (type species), † S. michaelbirti.
GEOLOGICAL PROVENANCE OF SCORED SPECIMENS: Hiatus South Site (Riversleigh Faunal Zone A) and VIP Site (Riversleigh Faunal Zone A or B), Riversleigh World Heritage Area, Queensland, Australia.
AGE OF SPECIMENS SCORED: Riversleigh Faunal zones A and B are interpreted as late Oligocene and early Miocene respectively, based on biostratigraphy (see above). We have assigned the entire age range of the late Oligocene to early Miocene (Chattian to Burdigalian; Cohen et al., 2013 [updated]) for this taxon.
ASSIGNED AGE RANGE: 27.820 –15.970 Mya.
 REMARKS: Two species, † Silvabestius johnnilandi and † S. michaelbirti, were described by Black and Archer (1997a) based on specimens from the VIP and Hiatus South sites. The VIP Site has been identified as part of Riversleigh Faunal Zone A, but may in fact belong to Faunal Zone B (K.H. Black, personal commun.). Both species are represented by relatively complete cranial material (e.g., the holotype of † S. jonhnnilandi is a well-preserved juvenile skull), but only dental descriptions of these specimens have been formally published to date (Black and Archer, 1997a); however, the unpublished thesis of Black (2008) includes cranial descriptions. We used this Riversleigh material of both species to score a composite † Silvabestius terminal.
