description: We systematically construct and study Type II Orientifolds based on Gepner models which have N=1 supersymmetry in 3+1 dimensions. We classify the parity symmetries and construct the crosscap states. We write down the conditions that a configuration of rational branes must satisfy for consistency (tadpole cancellation and rank constraints) and spacetime supersymmetry. For certain cases, including Type IIB orientifolds of the quintic and a two parameter model, one can find all solutions in this class. Depending on the parity, the number of vacua can be large, of the order of 10^{10}-10^{13}. For other models, it is hard to find all solutions but special solutions can be found -- some of them are chiral. We also make comparison with the large volume regime and obtain a perfect match. Through this study, we find a number of new features of Type II orientifolds, including the structure of moduli space and the change in the type of O-planes under navigation through non-geometric phases.

description: Using a large sample of developing countries observed over the period 1990-2015, our econometrical estimations largely validate our theoretical assumption that the food situation is better in democratic countries. This result is both robust to estimation methods (OLS-FE, GMM system, IV-GMM, FE IV-GMM) and to different food security indicators (global hunger index, share of undernourished population, poverty incidence, prevalence of underweight in children under five, food availability in kilocalories per day per capita, and children below five mortality rate). Beyond its instrumental value highlighted by Sen, democracy, by promoting good governance, improves food security through its positive effect on the accumulation of agricultural capital and the growth of agricultural productivity.

description: This paper evaluates the welfare outcomes of implementing the ECOWAS common external tariff in Togo, with a specific focus on gender issue. Using the survey data QUIBB 2015, we perform an induced price analysis and a non-parametric regression. We find that the share of household expenditure allocated for food declines as the income level increases, in both urban and rural areas and for both male- and female-headed households. The results also denote that ECOWAS-CET has reduced the welfare of consumer households in Togo, especially for self-employed farmers. As supported by the theory, consumer households living closer to the port city observe a smaller loss in the welfare. Our analysis shows that households in Lomé (where the distance from the port city is zero) experienced the lowest loss in the welfare while households in the Savanes region (at 617.7 kilometers from the port) have the biggest loss score. In Togo, government social transfer is pro-poor because it leaves the poor better off, but it benefits more to male-headed households.

Witchcraft, Demonic Possession and Exorcism: The Problem of Evidence in Two Shakespearean Plays
Creators: name: Laghi, Simona
Publisher: name: Journal of Early Modern Studies
Year: 2021

description: Between the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century, the crime of witchcraft was viewed with grave concern. A series of acts were passed with the aim of reinforcing the law; however, this did not mitigate the social alarm, but if anything, increased the number of denunciations, trials and convictions. Finding proof was complex, and this led to many doubts as to the genuineness of the phenomena and the reliability of justice. Many books, pamphlets and narratives regarding these issues were published, satisfying popular curiosity and triggering dramatic creativity. Considering these findings, this article investigates the impact of early criminography on the representation of witchcraft, demonic possession due to bewitching and exorcism in Shakespeare’s plays. The focus is on the scenes of the dark room in Twelfth Night and the mock trial in King Lear, two examples of the theatricalization of the search for proof closely interwoven with religious, medical and political discourses that circulated in early modern England.

description: We use a grid of 30 line-blanketed unified stellar photosphere and wind models for O-type stars; computed with the code CMFGEN in order to evaluate its potential in the near-infrared spectral domain. The grid includes dwarfs, giants and supergiants. We analyse the equivalent width behaviour of the 20 strongest lines of hydrogen and helium in spectral windows that can be observed using ground-based instrumentation and compare the results with observations. Our main findings are that: i) HeI/HeII line ratios in the J, H and K bands correlate well with the optical ratio employed in spectral classification, and can therefore be used to determine the spectral type; ii) in supergiant stars the transition from the stellar photosphere to the wind follows a shallower density gradient than the standard approach followed in our models, which can be mimicked by adopting a lower gravity in our prescription of the density stratification. iii) the Brackett gamma line poses a number of peculiar problems which partly might be related to wind clumping, and iv) the Brackett alpha line is an excellent mass-loss indicator. For the first and last item we provide quantitative calibrations.

Ces documents comprennent tous les magistri qu’il avait pu rencontrer dans ses sources. Aux XIIème et XIIIème siècles, les universités n'existant pas encore, le titre de magister s'il évoque certainement une compétence n'est pas rattaché de façon systématique au passage par les écoles. De surcroît, les magistris sont le plus souvent désignés par leur seul prénom. La lecture de ces données est donc difficile et suppose un long travail pour tenter d'identifier un individu auquel on pourrait rattacher plusieurs mentions. John Baldwin avait donc renoncé à utiliser ces données pour donner un prolongement à sa magnifique étude sur les gradués d'université et leur emploi par les Capétiens et les Plantagenêts. Néanmoins, il a conservé ces données et elles sont potentiellement très utile dans le cadre de Studium, comme le sont toutes les mentions dans les volumes des Fasti Ecclesiae Gallicanae de chanoines portant ce titre de magister sans autres précisions. L'ampleur des dépouillements rend ces données très utiles et nous devons une grande reconnaissance à John Baldwin pour avoir pris la peine de faire photocopier ses fiches et de nous les avoir transmises amicalement.

Recent Results from HEGRA (Gamma-Ray Observations with the HEGRA Stereoscopic System of 5 Cherenkov Telescopes)
Creators: name: Goetting, Niels
Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)

description: The HEGRA collaboration has achieved outstanding results during the operation of the six imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes from 1996 to 2002. The experimental work pioneered the field of TeV gamma-ray astronomy with observations during partial moon time and mainly by applying the stereoscopic observation mode using a system of five Cherenkov telescopes. Concerning Galactic objects the HEGRA observations have led to a precise measurement of the energy spectrum of the Crab nebula between 0.5 and 80 TeV, the detection of the first shell type supernova remnant in the Northern hemisphere (Cassiopeia A) and the investigation of the yet unidentified HEGRA TeV gamma-ray source TeV J2032+4130 in the Cygnus region. In addition, a large fraction of the Galactic plane has been studied during dedicated scans. Following the most precise measurements of the energy spectra of the well known extragalactic objects Mkn 421 and Mkn 501, the blazars H 1426+428 and 1ES 1959+650 have just been established as sources of TeV photons in the last two years. Extensive multi-wavelength campaigns have been successfully performed and spectroscopy of these four objects gives important clues for the understanding of the nonthermal emission processes and also on the optical to infrared part of the spectrum of the extragalactic background light. Recently, strong evidence for the nearby giant radio galaxy M 87 being a TeV gamma-ray emitter has been obtained. Some of these results are highlighted in this article.

description: We show how to implement quantum transport, generate entangled state and achieve spatial entanglement distribution via topological Thouless pumping in one-dimensional disordered lattices. We introduce the on-site disorders to suppress the high-order resonant tunneling (which cause wavepacket dispersion) and realize dispersionless Thouless pumping. The interplay between the on-site disorders and the band topology enables robust unidirectional transport. We also demonstrate how to prepare spatially entangled two-particle NOON state via Hong-Ou-Mandel interference assisted by the Thouless pumping. The quantum entanglement can be well preserved during the distribution between spatially separated sites. Our system paves a way to wide applications of topology in quantum information process.

description: The volatile relationship between agricultural commodity prices and fuel prices has been a topic of interest in local and global economies over the past several years. For most applications, the price of retail gasoline in the United States is a function of the underlying price of crude oil and the price of ethanol (made from corn) that is part of the blended fuel. The typical retail-level blend of fuel in the United States consists of ninety percent gasoline and ten percent ethanol. We apply a polynomial distributed lag to a price transmission model that incorporates ethanol prices as well as wholesale and retail level gasoline prices. Our results indicate the existence of asymmetry between wholesale and retail gasoline prices. Our results also indicated the lack of asymmetry between ethanol and retail gasoline prices.

description: Despite centuries of close association, statistics and astronomy are surprisingly distant today. Most observational astronomical research relies on an inadequate toolbox of methodological tools. Yet the needs are substantial: astronomy encounters sophisticated problems involving sampling theory, survival analysis, multivariate classification and analysis, time series analysis, wavelet analysis, spatial point processes, nonlinear regression, bootstrap resampling and model selection. We review the recent resurgence of astrostatistical research, and outline new challenges raised by the emerging Virtual Observatory. Our essay ends with a list of research challenges and infrastructure for astrostatistics in the coming decade.

description: In Bank Refah Kargaran (case C-134/19 P Bank Refah Kargaran v Council ECLI:EU:C:2020:793), the Court of Justice decided that it has jurisdiction to award damages for non-contractual liability incurred by the EU for harm caused by certain restrictive measures in Common foreign and security policy (CFSP) decisions. In so doing, the Court of Justice further extends its jurisdiction within the CFSP. The Court interprets narrowly the limits to its jurisdiction provided for in arts 24 TEU and 275 TFEU. This Insight finds the Court's reasoning insufficient to justify a departure from the Treaty text, which limits the jurisdiction the Court of Justice of the EU to "proceedings [...] reviewing the legality of decisions providing for restrictive measures". The action for damages is no such proceeding.

In this paper, we modified the U-Net CNN architecture for the stroke identification problem using non-contrast CT. We applied the proposed DL model to historical patient data and also conducted clinical experiments involving ten experienced radiologists. Our model achieved strong results on historical data, and significantly outperformed seven radiologist out of ten, while being on par with the remaining three.

description: We calculate the complete $O(α^2)$ initial state radiation corrections to $e^+ e^-$ annihilation into a neutral vector boson in a direct analytic computation without any approximation. The corrections are represented in terms of iterated incomplete (elliptic) integrals over alphabets of square--root valued letters. Performing the limit $s \gg m_e^2$, we find discrepancies with the earlier results of Ref.~\cite{Berends:1987ab} and confirm results obtained in Ref.~\cite{Blumlein:2011mi} where the effective method of massive operator matrix elements has been used, which works for all but the power corrections in $m^2_e/s$. In this way, we also confirm the validity of the factorization of massive partons in the Drell--Yan process. We add non--logarithmic terms at $O(α^2)$ which have not been considered in previous calculations. The final results in the limit $s \gg m_e^2$ can be given in terms of Nielsen integrals.

The systematic risk shows the percentage of risk that is beyond the producers control. This risk is mostly anributable to market risk. The unsystematic risk on the other hand, is the percentage of risk that the producer can control. Unsystematic risk can be eliminated by diversification.

description: Water in rural areas can act as a catalyst for development. This paper presents a brief theoretical overview of trends of rural domestic water usage in southern Africa. It highlights missing links in contemporary research, project design and implementation, and gives ~pecific emphasis to. organisati_onal aspects. 'f!1e failure to give adcq~atc attention to human infrastructure, specifically organisational issues, often results in unsustainable water projects. Grassroots legal issues have received scant attention. The evolutionary process of organising can be assisted by utilising and adapting conventional legal principles and frameworks. These frameworks can increase the community's capacity to access, and control, the resources it requires for development. This paper outlines a variety of organisational options and examines their legal implications. These are illustrated by a specific case study.

description: Wheat is the second most important field crop grown in South Africa in terms of gross value. Most of the wheat produced is consu!11ed in the form of bread which is one of the main staple foods in South Africa. Wheat is currently marketed under a one channel fixed pnce system. However in recent years there has been a trend to a more free market approach to the marketing of agricultural produce. Therefore the consequences of alternative marketing policies for wheat warrant investigation. For this purpose a regional mathematical programming model was developed with the objective of simulating the wheat industry. The model includes negative-sloping demand functions for various crops, substitut ion in demand between wheat and maize and risk in terms of variance-covariance matrices. It was found that average yield data could be misrepresentative when used in risk analysis. Therefore, .where possible, a poole~ data _se~ was used. The results show that the model successfully simulates production in the main wheat growmg regions of South Africa. This ts shown by the estimated shadow price of land being similar to actual rents and by percentage absolute deviations of 12,2 per cent an_d 6,3 per cent between actual and predicted land use and production respectively. It is concluded that the model would be useful for policy research.

description: The preliminary questions of the Supreme Court of Lithuania in case E.E. (C-80/19) presented a unique opportunity to provide a more detailed and comprehensive interpretation of several provisions of the Succession Regulation. Responding to them, in its judgment of 16 July 2020 the CJEU discussed the understanding of the cross-border nature of the succession case, the concept of habitual residence, the notion of court and the status of notaries in this regard, the scope of jurisdictional rules, authentic instruments and, finally, the choice of court and applicable law. While some of the issues were already covered in the earlier case-law, this judgment brings more structure and clarity to the interpretation of the Succession Regulation, particularly with regard to the habitual residence of the deceased, status of notaries and their duties when issuing national succession certificates. This Insight gives a brief account of the legal and factual background of the case, discusses the main points of the CJEU judgment and follows the case back to the national level.

description: The current concern of our high ecological footprint has caused an increased need for awareness and change in our food system. The University of British Columbia Food System Project (UBCFSP) is a research project addressing the sustainability of food system at UBC Vancouver. By researching the current polices of other universities as well as collaborating with several stakeholders in the project, namely AMS Sustainability, AMS Food and Beverage Department, and Neptune Food Service, our group determined the need to work with the grocery supplier to create a sustainable food procurement policy. The food procurement policies of University Communities can affect ecological footprint in numerous ways including food miles, sustainable production practices and packaging. University towns as large as UBC have the potential to create demand for more sustainable practices from their suppliers in all three pillars of sustainability: social, ecological, and economical. We suggest several methods to create transparency in the food chain between Neptune Food Service and AMS Food and Beverage Department that we hope will help strengthen the community and business bonds for both companies respectively.

Continuous quantum phase transition in a Kondo lattice model

description: We study the magnetic quantum phase transition in an anisotropic Kondo lattice model. The dynamical competition between the RKKY and Kondo interactions is treated using an extended dynamic mean field theory (EDMFT) appropriate for both the antiferromagnetic and paramagnetic phases. A quantum Monte Carlo approach is used, which is able to reach very low temperatures, of the order of 1% of the bare Kondo scale. We find that the finite-temperature magnetic transition, which occurs for sufficiently large RKKY interactions, is first order. The extrapolated zero-temperature magnetic transition, on the other hand, is continuous and locally critical.

description: The decreasing trend in farm prizes for beef and mutton, originating 1989, continued in 1990. These decreases represent the normal interaction between an increase in supply and a disproportionate increase in demand. Farn1ers' decisions three years ago to produce more beef and mutton because of increasing prices and improved fanning conditions, caused in itial high prices because less animals were slaughtered. Producers increased herd sizes by decreasing the number of animals slaughtered, especially the number of female cattle. At present the industry is eA-pericncing a typical post-herd building phase with significant cyclical lows in pnces. Decreasinb producer prices are stimulated by an inability of consumers to effectively react on decreasing prices because of harsh economic conditions, putting their spending ability under pressure. At the same time mutton producer prices are declining and more momentum is to the decrease in producer prices by the decrease in wool prices. Given the normal cyclical behaviour of the beef and mutton industries it can be expected that the current cyclical low in prices arc to continue for at least a couple of years.

title: Investigating Partnership Working in Voluntary and Community Organisations: Delivering Learning and Skills
Creators: name: Britton, Helen
Publisher: name: The Open University
Year: 2016

description: This qualitative research study examines the perceptions and experiences of individuals who deliver learning and skills training as part of multi-agency and cross-sector collaborative partnership arrangements. It asks the question: ‘How does the experience of delivering learning and skills development in partnerships with other organisations affect voluntary and community organisations?’ The findings from twenty-five, semi-structured interviews, demonstrate a complex and often highly contentious picture of collaborative working practice. This study reveals a number of contradictory themes concerning increased levels of risk-taking and risk-avoidance; the importance of the role of trust; resource and capacity inequalities and the increasing levels of expectation to do more with less in a challenging funding environment. It questions the basis on which policy decisions are being constituted and the increasing expectation for organisations to work in partnership. The evidence base is not fully representative of the perceptions and experiences of individuals. It indicates a lack of understanding of how the highly differentiated nature of voluntary and community organisations, and their partners, experience partnership-working and the implications this may have for learners. The review of the literature for this research study adopted a broad ‘brushstroke’. It did so in order to examine, and to attempt to understand, the complex, conceptual and theoretical ‘landscape’ involving voluntary and community partnership activity. This research suggests that partnership can be better understood through a meta-theoretical framework. In theorising the role of partnership, this thesis presents a multi-theoretical model to represent some of the tensions inherent in inter-organisational collaboration. It integrates theories around trust, organisation and paradox to articulate a layered conceptual typology.

description: The next-generation experiments on Heavy Flavour Physics must be performed at the hadron colliders to exploit the superior production cross-section and availability of all the species of b and c flavored hadrons. The particularly hostile environment of the hadron colliders, on the other hand, requires that new and adequate experimental tecniques be developed to face this extraordinary challenge. The BTeV experiment has developed the right experimental tools to perform this program with very high sensitivity and to extend our knowledge at the frontier of New Physics.

Flexible Subcarrier Allocation for Interleaved Frequency Division Multiple Access

description: Interleaved Frequency Division Multiple Access (IFDMA) and Orthogonal FDMA (OFDMA) belong to a class of signal modulation and multiple-access techniques in which information of multiple users are multiplexed and carried on subcarriers within a shared spectrum. Compared with OFDMA, IFDMA has lower Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR). However, IFDMA poses two rigid constraints on subcarrier allocation: 1) the subcarriers occupied by a user must be evenly-spaced among the available subcarriers. 2) the number of subcarriers used by a user must be a divisor of the total number of subcarriers. This paper investigates how to overcome these constraints to allow flexible and fine-grained subcarrier allocation in IFDMA. Specifically, we put forth 1) a bit-reversal subcarrier allocation scheme whereby the problem of allocating evenly-spaced subcarriers is transformed to a more intuitive problem of filling contiguous bins; 2) a multi-stream IFDMA scheme whereby a user can have an arbitrary number of subcarriers. For the synchronous scenario in which user requests arrive in a synchronous manner, we show that IFDMA can achieve the same level of flexibility and granularity as OFDMA in subcarrier allocation. For the asynchronous scenario in which user requests arrive and depart asynchronously, we show that the blocking probability of IFDMA is only slightly worse than that of OFDMA: specifically, the gap between the blocking probabilities of IFDMA and OFDMA is only 2:56% at a moderate offered load.

description: QuasAr1 is a fluorescent voltage sensor derived from Archaerhodopsin 3 (Arch) of Halorubrum sodomense by directed evolution. Here we report absorption and emission spectroscopic studies of QuasAr1 in Tris buffer at pH 8. Absorption cross-section spectra, fluorescence quantum distributions, fluorescence quantum yields, and fluorescence excitation spectra were determined. The thermal stability of QuasAr1 was studied by long-time attenuation coefficient measurements at room temperature (23 ± 2 °C) and at 2.5 ± 0.5 °C. The apparent melting temperature was determined by stepwise sample heating up and cooling down (obtained apparent melting temperature: 65 ± 3 °C). In the protein melting process the originally present protonated retinal Schiff base (PRSB) with absorption maximum at 580 nm converted to de-protonated retinal Schiff base (RSB) with absorption maximum at 380 nm. Long-time storage of QuasAr1 at temperatures around 2.5 °C and around 23 °C caused gradual protonated retinal Schiff base isomer changes to other isomer conformations, de-protonation to retinal Schiff base isomers, and apoprotein structure changes showing up in ultraviolet absorption increase. Reaction coordinate schemes are presented for the thermal protonated retinal Schiff base isomerizations and deprotonations in parallel with the dynamic apoprotein restructurings
