description: Port City and National Founding Myth: On the Meaning of Buenos Aires as an Element of the Argentinean National Discourse, 19th to 21st Century The article deals with the symbolic function of the port city of Buenos Aires within the 19th century discourse of the Argentine nation. The city was a gateway for millions of European immigrants who entered Argentina in the second half of the 19th century. According to Argentine intellectuals like Alberdi or Sarmiento, Buenos Aires was the cradle of “civilization” and “progress”, thus representing an important element of the national project of a “white” and “European” Argentina. In contrast, the much older history of immigration of Non-European groups to the port city was excluded from these imaginations. The text shows these mechanisms, taking as an example the history of the African immigration to Buenos Aires from colonial times to the 20th century.

description: Commercial Center and Pilgrims’ Thoroughfare: Jeddah in the Late Ottoman Period This article discusses changing notions of „foreignness“ in nineteenth century Jeddah. This was a town where traders of the Red Sea and adjacent oceans, as well as pilgrims en route to Mecca met, and often settled. The article argues that Jeddah was a cosmopolitan city in the sense that it allowed, for most of the century, for these different groups to co-exist peacefully. In the course of the nineteenth century, legal as well as political and economic conditions changed and, arguably, increasingly regulated and complicated this co-existence. The article describes on the basis of a number of examples how ethnic, political and sectarian identities were constructed and changed over time. Arguably, this impacted most dramatically on those Muslims stemming from regions which had come under European protection. Earlier considered predominantly as co-religionists, they now came to be regarded as potential European agents in the age of imperialism. The influx, notably, of Indian Muslim traders added an economic dimension as British protection afforded them advantages in a changing international trade system. Another group whose presence increased, but was regarded with high suspicion were Christians of various nationalities. The Jeddah uprising of 1858 can be interpreted as the most prominent expression of these tensions.

description: Open Ports, Closed-off Society: On the Public Image of the Chinese in Japan at the Time of the Treaty Port System, 1859–1899 After the abolishment of the Japanese treaty port system in 1899, foreigners were free to take up residence in the interior of the country. However, restrictions regarding certain occupations were introduced. As a result, most Chinese remained confined to the settlements, while Europeans and Americans were free to leave. This unequal treatment was preceded by an increasingly unfavourable perception of the Chinese in Japanese society. The article traces back the reasons for this negative attitude to the 1870s, taking into account the social history of Chinese immigration to Japan and the legal framework for foreign residents as well as the general background of Sino-Japanese relations at the end of the 19th century.

Europäische Seeleute als koloniales Ordnungs- und Identitätsproblem im Kalkutta der 1860er Jahre

description: European Seamen as a Problem of Colonial Identity and Order in Calcutta of the 1860s The relationship between the wealthier part of British India’s white society and the infamous seaman ‘Jack Tar’ was ambiguous. In the eyes of the colonial administration the seamen’s alleged lack of discipline and ‘reckless and irrational ways’ brought them close to the ‘uncivilised natives’. This was a fact regarded as highly disturbing in a colonial setting based on the ideology of racial difference and — at least partly — informed by notions of a civilising mission supposedly entrusted to the British by providence. The problems arising from their presence in Indian seaport towns could not be easily solved by the ‘politics of making invisible’, as their labour was vital to the empire. Their position was therefore a highly ambivalent one, vacillating between inclusion and exclusion into the fold of ‘respectable’ white colonial society. In certain contexts and situations they were certainly seen as being part of the imperial establishment — though on the lowest ranks of the order of precedence — whereas in other constellations they were perceived as outright threat to this very establishment and hence subjected to processes of discursive ‘othering’ and practical disciplining.

Year: 2007

description: Port Cities, Migration, and Control, 1890–1930 Port cities were gateways of globalization and nodes of mobility, particularly in the late 19th century. Several million migrants crossed ports like Hamburg on their way into the New World, contributing substantially to the rise of several shipping companies. Due to fears of migration and hygienic conceptions, port city councils enacted a strict regime of control, keeping certain ethnic groups like Eastern Jews and Chinese migrants under intense scrutiny. The article sketches and compares some cases of maritime migration control in Western Europe, North America, and Australia. Shipping and port cities, connecting the world, could be targeted as a threat of potential invasion in the western hemisphere.

description: The Seaside Resident – A Citizen of the World? On Port City Societies and Cosmopolitanism The article investigates the acclaimed social openness of port cities, subsumed under the label of cosmopolitanism. It argues that in the study of maritime urban diversity from a historical perspective, it is important to consider diversity not only as object of scrutiny, but also as part of the approach. When studying cosmopolitanism, one should aim to integrate all of the four common definitions: a) publicly visible diversity, b) an ability of individual or collective agents to navigate between differently coded spheres, c) an active practice of sociabilities that cross community borders, and d) a belief and a policy of enhancing cohesion without a monolithic base. When tracing the failures of cosmopolitanism, one must consider that the violent communalist or nationalist activism manifesting itself in port cities is not simply the intrusion of an antagonistic outside world, but rather the flipside of maritime urbanity, as both ethnocentrism and cosmopolitanism thrive under the same conditions.

description: Port Cities in Global Perspective: An Introduction This volume examines the phenomena of mobility and migration in port cities at the height of the steamship era, ca. 1860-1930. The inherent contradiction that ports were the source of a city’s (or a country’s or an Empire’s) esteem in the world on the one hand and that on the other, the ports’ unwanted and uncontrollable processes prompted negative reactions, is the common thread of all articles. Our approach to the study of port cities focuses on the contact in ports between people of different origin. This contact situation has the potential to put into question one’s concept of the city, the nation, the religious community, civilization, or even time. By consequence, it can threaten existing power structures and has the capacity to alter or reaffirm urban and national identities.

title: Social Kind Generics and the Dichotomizing Perspective
Creators: name: Fraker, Will
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
Generics about social kinds (or GSKs) frequently propagate descriptions that carry normative force (i.e., 'women are emotional'). Some philosophers of language attribute this to their tendency to transmit essentialist beliefs about social kinds. According to these accounts, utterances of GSKs implicate that there is something in the nature of social kinds that causes them to possess the properties described, and that individual members of these social kinds therefore ought to exhibit (or be expected to exhibit) these properties. Here, I draw on empirical evidence to suggest an alternative account. According to my framework, an utterance of a GSK implicates a distinction between the social kind described and its salient conceptual opposite, producing what I call a dichotomizing perspective. For example, women are emotional suggests that men are not. Importantly, such distinctions frequently persist in the societal common ground as a function of social power, in part due to their alignment with hierarchical social structures between dichotomized social kinds. This enables such GSKs to perpetuate biased patterns of attention, expectation, and behavior even in the absence of essentialist belief.

description: We report that by measuring current-induced hysteresis loop shift versus in-plane bias magnetic field, the spin Hall effect (SHE) contribution of the current-induced effective field per current density, $χ_{SHE}$, can be estimated for Pt and Ta-based magnetic heterostructures with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA). We apply this technique to a Pt-based sample with its ferromagnetic (FM) layer being wedged-deposited and discover an extra effective field contribution, $χ_{Wedged}$, due to the asymmetric nature of the deposited FM layer. We confirm the correlation between $χ_{Wedged}$ and the asymmetric depinning process in FM layer during magnetization switching by magneto-optical Kerr (MOKE) microscopy. These results indicate the possibility of engineering deterministic spin-orbit torque (SOT) switching by controlling the symmetry of domain expansion through the materials growth process.

It explains how gender history is connected with the historical research about slavery and abolition the French Caribbean, particularly St. Domingue / Haiti, Martinique and Guadeloupe, and resumes some results of this research in respect of gender­specific division of labour, gender roles in slave families and manumissions. With regard to postemancipation studies This article refers to studies about coercive forms of plantation labour after slavery and immigration, comments the still existing shortfalls concerning investigations of family patterns, couple relations and conflicts in gender relations of the Afromartiniquian population and problems of sources to write a postemancipation­gender­history from below.

Year: 2007

description: British and Danish West Indies after Slavery. The article is focussing the major problems of adjustments to emancipation in the British and Danish West Indies. The first chapter stresses the antagonistic conflict between planters and freed slaves over land and labour in terms of „reconstituted peasantry“ (Mintz) versus plantations. The fight over economic resources and new (economic) measures of labour control are major topics of chapter 2. Especially the refusal of women to do field work on the plantations is highlighted. The trend towards racist interpretations of work attitudes is reflected in contemporary Governor‘s reports. The ideological aspects of abolition and the impact of Christian churches to establish a new moral and cultural order is the crucial theme of chapter 3. Especially the ambivalent and controversial attitude of the Moravian Church and its missionaries is been critically discussed. Chapter 4 outlines the economic future of the sugar industry after slavery. The long term development of the rural population and its specific class structure (peasant/labourers) is analysed in chapter 5. The different patterns of adjustments to emancipation in the British and Danish West Indies are summarised in the conclusion.

description: Slavery, Postemancipation and Gender in Cuba. An Overview This article gives an overview on gender aspects of the slavery politics of the Spanish colonial state and of the Cuban masters in the period of the so called “Second Slavery” (Dale Tomich) – the capitalist Massensklaverei of the 19th century. In a second step the paper tries to differentiate the gender­politics of the two opposite sides in the anti­colonial wars of 1868–1898 and their strategies towards abolition. Finally, in a micro­historical approach the article follows the trails of individual ex­slaves after the abolition of slavery in Cuba (1886), like Esteban Montejo, the famous cimarrón, and analyses their gendered responses to the more and more racialized politics and the machismo of the post­emancipation era.

description: We introduce a non-linear extension of Proca's field theory for massive vector (spin $1$) bosons. The associated relativistic nonlinear wave equation is related to recently advanced nonlinear extensions of the Schroedinger, Dirac, and Klein-Gordon equations inspired on the non-extensive generalized thermostatistics. This is a theoretical framework that has been applied in recent years to several problems in nuclear and particle physics, gravitational physics, and quantum field theory. The nonlinear Proca equation investigated here has a power-law nonlinearity characterized by a real parameter $q$ (formally corresponding to the Tsallis entropic parameter) in such a way that the standard linear Proca wave equation is recovered in the limit $q \rightarrow 1$. We derive the nonlinear Proca equation from a Lagrangian that, besides the usual vectorial field $Ψ^μ(\vec{x},t)$, involves an additional field $Φ^μ(\vec{x},t)$. We obtain exact time dependent soliton-like solutions for these fields having the form of a $q$-plane wave, and show that both field equations lead to the relativistic energy-momentum relation $E^{2} = p^{2}c^{2} + m^{2}c^{4}$ for all values of $q$. This suggests that the present nonlinear theory constitutes a new field theoretical representation of particle dynamics. In the limit of massless particles the present $q$-generalized Proca theory reduces to Maxwell electromagnetism, and the $q$-plane waves yield localized, transverse solutions of Maxwell equations. Physical consequences and possible applications are discussed.

For the synchronization of the changes a replication system named Operational Transformation is used. Such a system consists of a control algorithm and a transformation function. In essence, a transformation function solves the conflicts that arise when multiple users change the document at the same time. In this work we investigate on the correctness of such transformation functions. We introduce transformation functions n-ary trees that we designed especially for the purpose of synchronization changes on JSON objects. We provide a detailed proof of the necessary property: the Transformation Property 1.

 (ECOUTER, interviews and observations) with project partners as well as internal and
 external stakeholders. It assesses challenges and opportunities and proposes sustainability
 recommendations during and after the project in ways that can help to sustain achievements
 of this project in the mid to long term (e.g., what to consider in next projects, how to reach
 sustainability of tools and expertise). Understanding sustainability not as a one time
 achievable goal but a moving target, this report proposes specific actions such as training
 and role descriptions and general recommendations. The analysis focuses on the current
 landscape, potential users with the future organisation in horizon, even if funding remains
 based on projects. In this regard, the report has been structured in three pillars: community,
 financial and organisational sustainability. The findings on opportunities and challenges will
 be complemented by an upcoming paper that discusses sustainability and value making. The
 results of this work will inform D6.9 and MS22 which focus on concrete sustainability actions
 and governance assessment.

Spin-orbital coupling effect on power factor in semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers

description: The electronic structures and thermoelectric properties of semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers $\mathrm{MX_2}$ (M=Zr, Hf, Mo, W and Pt; X=S, Se and Te) are investigated by combining first-principles and Boltzmann transport theory, including spin-orbital coupling (SOC). It is found that the gap decrease increases from S to Te in each cation group, when the SOC is opened. The spin-orbital splitting has the same trend with gap reducing. Calculated results show that SOC has noteworthy detrimental effect on p-type power factor, while has a negligible influence in n-type doping except W cation group, which can be understood by considering the effects of SOC on the valence and conduction bands. For $\mathrm{WX_2}$ (X=S, Se and Te), the SOC leads to observably enhanced power factor in n-type doping, which can be explained by SOC-induced band degeneracy, namely bands converge. Among all cation groups, Pt cation group shows the highest Seebeck coefficient, which leads to best power factor, if we assume scattering time is fixed. Calculated results show that $\mathrm{MS_2}$ (M=Zr, Hf, Mo, W and Pt) have best p-type power factor for all cation groups, and that $\mathrm{MSe_2}$ (M=Zr and Hf), $\mathrm{WS_2}$ and $\mathrm{MTe_2}$ (M=Mo and Pt) have more wonderful n-type power factor in respective cation group. Therefore, these results may be useful for further theoretical prediction or experimental search of excellent thermoelectric materials from semiconducting transition-metal dichalcogenide monolayers.

description: In order to ensure the fastest wireless energy transfer from a source to the user one needs to maximize the channel capacity for power transport. In communications technologies, the concept of MIMO (multiple input, multiple output) exploits the idea of sending signals via many different rays which may reach the receiver. However, if we are concerned with the task of energy transfer, still only one mode is exploited, even if multiple antennas are used to send power to the receiver. In the near-field scenario, this is the magnetic dipole mode of receiving coil antennas. In the far-field scenario, this is the propagating plane wave TEM mode. Recently, it was shown that using special artificial materials it is possible to ensure that all electromagnetic modes of free space are conjugately matched to the modes of a material body and, thus, all modes deliver power to the body in the most effective way. Such a fascinating feature is acquired because the conjugate matching does not concern only the propagating modes but, most importantly, is applied to all evanescent modes. However, coupling to higher-order (mostly evanescent) modes is weak and disappears in the limit of an infinite planar boundary. We show that properly perturbing the surface of the receiving or emitting body with, for example, randomly distributed small particles we can open up channels for super-radiation into far zone. The currents induced in the small particles act as secondary sources which send the energy to travel far away from the surface and, reciprocally, receive power from far-located sources. We theoretically predict about 20-fold power transfer enhancement between the conjugately matched power-receiving body (as compared with the ideal black body) and far-zone sources. Reciprocally, the proposed structure radiates about 20 times more power into far zone as compared with the same source over a perfect reflector.

description: Perovskite-based optoelectronic devices have shown great promise for solar conversion and other optoelectronic applications, but their long-term performance instability is regarded as a major obstacle to their widespread deployment. Previous works have shown that the ultralow thermal conductivity and inefficient heat spreading might put an intrinsic limit on the lifetime of perovskite devices. Here, we report the observation of a remarkably efficient thermal conductance, with conductivity of 11.2 +/- 0.8 W m^-1 K^-1 at room temperature, in densely-packed perovskite CH3NH3PbI3 films, via noncontact time-domain thermal reflectance measurements. The temperature-dependent experiments suggest the important roles of organic cations and structural phase transitions, which are further confirmed by temperature-dependent Raman spectra. The thermal conductivity at room temperature observed here is over one order of magnitude larger than that in the early report, suggesting that perovskite device performance will not be limited by thermal stability.

description: The Boolardy Engineering Test Array is a 6 x 12 m dish interferometer and the prototype of the Australian Square Kilometre Array Pathfinder (ASKAP), equipped with the first generation of ASKAP's phased array feed (PAF) receivers. These facilitate rapid wide-area imaging via the deployment of simultaneous multiple beams within a 30 square degree field of view. By cycling the array through 12 interleaved pointing positions and using 9 digitally formed beams we effectively mimic a traditional 1 hour x 108 pointing survey, covering 150 square degrees over 711 - 1015 MHz in 12 hours of observing time. Three such observations were executed over the course of a week. We verify the full bandwidth continuum imaging performance and stability of the system via self-consistency checks and comparisons to existing radio data. The combined three epoch image has arcminute resolution and a 1-sigma thermal noise level of 375 micro-Jy per beam, although the effective noise is a factor 3 higher due to residual sidelobe confusion. From this we derive a catalogue of 3,722 discrete radio components, using the 35 percent fractional bandwidth to measure in-band spectral indices for 1,037 of them. A search for transient events reveals one significantly variable source within the survey area. The survey covers approximately two-thirds of the Spitzer South Pole Telescope Deep Field. This pilot project demonstrates the viability and potential of using PAFs to rapidly and accurately survey the sky at radio wavelengths.

description: We present a semi-automatic procedure to obtain fundamental physical parameters and distances of classical Be (CBe) stars, based on the Barbier-Chalonge-Divan (BCD) spectrophotometric system. Our aim is to apply this procedure to a large sample of CBe stars detected by the IPHAS photometric survey, to determine their fundamental physical parameters and to explore their suitability as galactic structure tracers. In this paper we describe the methodology used and the validation of the procedure by comparing our results with those obtained from different independent astrophysical techniques for subsamples of stars in common with other studies. We also present a test case study of the galactic structure in the direction of the Perseus Galactic Arm, in order to compare our results with others recently obtained with different techniques and the same sample of stars. We did not find any significant clustering of stars at the expected positions of the Perseus and Outer Galactic Arms, in agreement with previous studies in the same area that we used for verification.

description: The Kennicutt-Schmidt (KS) relation between the gas mass and star formation rate (SFR) describes the star formation regulation in disk galaxies. It is a function of gas metallicity, but the low metallicity regime of the KS diagram is poorly sampled. We have analyzed data for a representative set of extremely metal-poor galaxies (XMPs), as well as auxiliary data, and compared these to empirical and theoretical predictions. The majority of the XMPs possess high specific SFRs, similar to high redshift star-forming galaxies. On the KS plot, the XMP HI data occupy the same region as dwarfs, and extend the relation for low surface brightness galaxies. Considering the HI gas alone, a considerable fraction of the XMPs already fall off the KS law. Significant quantities of 'dark' H$_2$ mass (i.e., not traced by CO) would imply that XMPs possess low star formation efficiencies (SFE$_{\rm gas}$). Low SFE$_{\rm gas}$ in XMPs may be the result of the metal-poor nature of the HI gas. Alternatively, the HI reservoir may be largely inert, the star formation being dominated by cosmological accretion. Time lags between gas accretion and star formation may also reduce the apparent SFE$_{\rm gas}$, as may galaxy winds, which can expel most of the gas into the intergalactic medium. Hence, on global scales, XMPs could be HI-dominated, high specific SFR ($\gtrsim $ 10$^{-10}$ yr$^{-1}$), low SFE$_{\rm gas}$ ($\lesssim$ 10$^{-9}$ yr$^{-1}$) systems, in which the total HI mass is likely not a good predictor of the total H$_2$ mass nor of the SFR.

description: Largely motivated by a number of applications, the dispersion ($C_3$) coefficients for the interaction of a Cs atom with different material media such as Au (metal), Si (semiconductor) and various dielectric surfaces like SiO$_2$, SiN$_{\rm{x}}$, sapphire and YAG are determined using accurate values of the dynamic polarizabilities of the Cs atom obtained employing the relativistic coupled-cluster approach and the dynamic dielectric constants of the walls. Moreover, we also give the retardation coefficients in the graphical representation as functions of separation distances to describe the interaction potentials between the Cs atom with the above considered material media. For the easy access to the interaction potentials at a given distance of separation, we devise a simple working functional fitting form for the retarded coefficients in terms of two parameters that are quoted for each medium.

description: A one-dimensional continuum-mechanical model of axonal elongation due to assembly of tubulin dimers in the growth cone is presented. The conservation of mass leads to a coupled system of three differential equations. A partial differential equation models the dynamic and spatial behaviour of the concentration of tubulin that is transported along the axon from the soma to the growth cone. Two ordinary differential equations describe the time-variation of the concentration of free tubulin in the growth cone and the speed of elongation, respectively. All steady-state solutions of the model are categorized. Given a set of the biological parameter values, it is shown how one easily can infer whether there exist zero, one or two steady-state solutions and directly determine the possible steady-state lengths of the axon. Explicit expressions are given for each stationary concentration distribution. It is thereby easy to examine the influence of each biological parameter on a steady state. Numerical simulations indicate that when there exist two steady states, the one with shorter axon length is unstable and the longer is stable. Another result is that, for nominal parameter values extracted from literature, in a large portion of a fully grown axon the concentration of free tubulin is lower than both concentrations in the soma and in the growth cone.

description: The interplay between energy efficiency and evolutionary mechanisms is addressed. One important question is how evolutionary mechanisms can select for the optimised usage of energy in situations where it does not lead to immediate advantage. For example, this problem is of great importance to improve our understanding about the major transition from unicellular to multicellular form of life. The immediate advantage of gathering efficient individuals in an energetic context is not clear. Although this process increases relatedness among individuals, it also increases local competition. To address this question, we propose a model of two competing metabolic strategies that makes explicit reference to the resource usage. We assume the existence of an efficient strain, which converts resource into energy at high efficiency but displays a low rate of resource consumption, and an inefficient strain, which consumes resource at a high rate with a low efficiency in converting it to energy. We explore the dynamics in both well-mixed and structured populations. The selection for optimised energy usage is measured by the likelihood of that an efficient strain can invade a population only comprised by inefficient strains. It is found that the region of the parameter space at which the efficient strain can thrive in structured populations is always larger than observed in well-mixed populations. In fact, in well-mixed populations the efficient strain is only evolutionarily stable in the domain whereupon there is no evolutionary dilemma. We also observe that small group sizes enhance the chance of invasion by the efficient strain in spite of increasing the competition among relatives. This outcome corroborates the key role played by kin selection and shows that the group dynamics relied on group expansion, overlapping generations and group split can balance the negative effects of local competition.

On the Equivalence of Maximum SNR and MMSE Estimation: Applications to Additive Non-Gaussian Channels and Quantized Observations

description: The minimum mean-squared error (MMSE) is one of the most popular criteria for Bayesian estimation. Conversely, the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is a typical performance criterion in communications, radar, and generally detection theory. In this paper we first formalize an SNR criterion to design an estimator, and then we prove that there exists an equivalence between MMSE and maximum-SNR estimators, for any statistics. We also extend this equivalence to specific classes of suboptimal estimators, which are expressed by a basis expansion model (BEM). Then, by exploiting an orthogonal BEM for the estimator, we derive the MMSE estimator constrained to a given quantization resolution of the noisy observations, and we prove that this suboptimal MMSE estimator tends to the optimal MMSE estimator that uses an infinite resolution of the observation. Besides, we derive closed-form expressions for the mean-squared error (MSE) and for the SNR of the proposed suboptimal estimators, and we show that these expressions constitute tight, asymptotically exact, bounds for the optimal MMSE and maximum SNR.

description: Atomic nanowires on semiconductor surfaces induced by the adsorption of metallic atoms have attracted a lot of attention as possible hosts of the elusive, Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. The Au/Ge(100) system in particular is the subject of controversy as to whether the Au-induced nanowires do indeed host exotic, 1D metallic states. We report on a thorough study of the electronic properties of high quality nanowires formed at the Au/Ge(100) surface. High resolution ARPES data show the low-lying Au-induced electronic states to possess a dispersion relation that depends on two orthogonal directions in k-space. Comparison of the E(k$_x$,k$_y$) surface measured using ARPES to tight-binding calculations yields hopping parameters in the two different directions that differ by a factor of two. We find that the larger of the two hopping parameters corresponds, in fact, to the direction perpendicular to the nanowires (t$_{\perp}$). This, the topology of the $E$=$E_F$ contour in k$_{\||}$, and the fact that $t_{\||}$/$t_{\perp}\sim 0.5$ proves that the Au-induced electron pockets possess a 2D, closed Fermi surface, this firmly places the Au/Ge(100) nanowire system outside being a potential hosts of a Tomonaga-Luttinger liquid. We combine these ARPES data with STS measurements of the spatially-resolved electronic structure and find that the spatially straight conduction channels observed up to energies of order one electron volt below the Fermi level do not originate from the Au-induced states seen in the ARPES data. The former are more likely to be associated with bulk Ge states that are localized to the subsurface region. Despite our proof of the 2D nature of the Au-induced nanowire and sub-surface Ge-related states, an anomalous suppression of the density of states at the Fermi level is observed in both the STS and ARPES data, this phenomenon is discussed in the light of the effects of disorder.

description: We study the mutual percolation of two interdependent lattice networks ranging from two to seven dimensions, denoted as $D$. We impose that the length of interdependent links connecting nodes in the two lattices be less than or equal to a certain value, $r$. For each value of $D$ and $r$, we find the mutual percolation threshold, $p_c[D,r]$ below which the system completely collapses through a cascade of failures following an initial destruction of a fraction $ (1-p)$ of the nodes in one of the lattices. We find that for each dimension, $D<6$, there is a value of $r=r_I>1$ such that for $r\geq r_I$ the cascading failures occur as a discontinuous first order transition, while for $rr_I$, and for $r>r_{max}$ the vulnerability starts to decrease as $r\to\infty$. However the decrease becomes less significant as $D$ increases and $p_c[D,r_{max}]-p_c[D,\infty]$ decreases exponentially with $D$. We also investigate the dependence of $p_c[D,r]$ on the system size as well as how the nature of the transition changes as the number of lattice sites, $N\to\infty$.
