description: This online appendix presents the screening process for our systematic literature review featured in the Policy Research in International Services and Manufacturing (PRISM) working paper, "Equitable Transitions Away from Fossil Fuels: A Systematic and Narrative Literature Review." The full paper will be available on the PRISM website.This appendix shows a detailed process of a systematic, keyword-based literature review utilizing the following search string:
(((Title) "Energy Transition" OR “phasing-out” OR “phasing down” OR transition) AND (equit OR just* OR fair* OR science OR "short-term" OR "long-term") AND ("fossil fuel*" OR "coal*" OR "oil*" OR "gas*") AND ("multilateral regime" OR "international cooperation" OR "global enabler*" OR "global enabling condition*"))**
The search was conducted at the title, abstract, and topic levels in the Web of Science in September 2024, covering literature published between 2010 and 2024, in the English language.To ensure high scientific rigor, only peer-reviewed journal articles were included. Working papers, books, book chapters, book series, conference proceedings, patents, reports, and editorials were excluded.After identifying the relevant papers, we implemented a systematic methodology to extract and synthesize information aligned with our research question. This process unfolded through several key steps, outlined in the accompanying Excel sheets.The first sheet contains the search string and is titled "Search String."The results are displayed in the "Search Result" sheet, which includes 734 papers.We initially identified 200 articles from the 734 based on their titles (sheet name: "By Title").After screening the abstracts, this number was reduced to 163 (sheet name: "By Abstract").We then evaluated relevance and novelty under the sheet titled "Relevant and Novel Comment."First, we evaluated and filtered research articles based on their relevance to our research question, assigning each a score from 0 (least relevant) to 5 (most relevant). Second, we assessed the novelty of each paper, also scoring them from 0 to 5. We then concatenated the relevance and novelty scores. For example, a paper with a combined score of 55 represents the highest possible rating for both relevance and novelty, while a score of 00 indicates a paper that is neither relevant nor novel. Papers with a combined score of at least 33 were selected for further consideration.Finally, after evaluating for relevance and novelty, we narrowed the selection down to 130 articles. These are displayed in the last Excel sheet, titled "Final Reviewed Papers."

description: Whether and to what extent animals experience emotions is crucial for understanding their decisions and behaviour, and underpins a range of scientific fields, including animal behaviour, neuroscience, evolutionary biology and animal welfare science. However, research has predominantly focussed on alleviating negative emotions in animals, with the expression of positive emotions left largely unexplored. Therefore, little is known about positive emotions in animals and how their expression is mediated. We used tail handling to induce a negative mood in laboratory mice and found that while being more anxious and depressed increased their expression of a discrete negative emotion (disappointment) meaning that they were less resilient to negative events, their capacity to express a discrete positive emotion (elation) was unaffected relative to control mice. Therefore, we show not only that mice have discrete positive emotions, but that they do so regardless of their current mood state. Our findings are the first to suggest that the expression of discrete positive and negative emotions in animals is not equally affected by long-term mood state. Our results also demonstrate that repeated negative events can have a cumulative effect to reduce resilience in laboratory animals, which has significant implications for animal welfare.

description: We consider the evolutionary trajectories traced out by an infinite population undergoing mutation-selection dynamics in static, uncorrelated random fitness landscapes. Starting from the population that consists of a single genotype, the most populated genotype \textit{jumps} from a local fitness maximum to another and eventually reaches the global maximum. We use a strong selection limit, which reduces the dynamics beyond the first time step to the competition between independent mutant subpopulations, to study the dynamics of this model and of a simpler one-dimensional model which ignores the geometry of the sequence space. We find that the fit genotypes that appear along a trajectory are a subset of suitably defined fitness \textit{records}, and exploit several results from the record theory for non-identically distributed random variables. The genotypes that contribute to the trajectory are those records that are not \textit{bypassed} by superior records arising further away from the initial population. Several conjectures concerning the statistics of bypassing are extracted from numerical simulations. In particular, for the one-dimensional model, we propose a simple relation between the bypassing probability and the dynamic exponent which describes the scaling of the typical evolution time with genome size. The latter can be determined exactly in terms of the extremal properties of the fitness distribution.

description: The lease hunting system in Texas is described and discussed. Results of a hunter survey are reported and the value of ingress rights for white-tailed deer hunting in Texas is estimated. Results suggest that these rights are highly valuable and that services and facilities provided generally do not enhance the value of the hunting experience as much as access to additional game species on adequately large parcels of land.

description: This paper analyzes the three-dimensional (3D) surface texture of amorphous hydrogenated carbon films with sputtered iron nanoparticles (FeNPs@a-C:H) deposited by a radio-frequency plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition method on the quartz substrates. The prepared FeNPs@a-C:H films were used as research materials. The synthesized samples were deposited at four different pressures of 2.5, 3, 3.35, and 3.5 N/m2 in an acetylene gas atmosphere. The Fe and C contents of the thin films were obtained from X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The X-ray diffraction profile and electron diffraction pattern indicate that iron nanoparticles with body-centered-cubic crystalline structure are formed in these films. The localized surface plasmon resonance peak that is the signature of the existence of the iron core nanoparticles appears in visible spectra of these films. The sample surface images were recorded using an atomic force microscope operating in a noncontact mode and analyzed to reveal the statistical, fractal, and functional surface properties of prepared samples. Analysis of the 3D surface texture is essential for the correct interpretation of surface topographic features as well as its functional role for the test surface. It also helps to understand the relationship between the surface topography and functional properties.
Observation of Aharonov-Bohm Superperiod in a Laughlin Quasiparticle Interferometer

description: We report an Aharonov-Bohm superperiod of five magnetic flux quanta (5h/e) observed in a Laughlin quasiparticle interferometer, where an edge channel of the 1/3 fractional quantum Hall fluid encircles an island of the 2/5 fluid. This result does not violate the auge invariance argument of the Byers-Yang theorem because the magnetic flux, in addition to affecting the Aharonov-Bohm phase of the encircling 1/3 quasiparticles, creates the 2/5 quasiparticles in the island. The superperiod is accordingly understood as imposed by the anyonic statistical interaction of Laughlin quasiparticles.

Understanding the internet topology evolution dynamics

Subjects: subject: Networking and Internet Architecture (cs.NI)

subject: C.2.1

description: The internet structure is extremely complex. The Positive-Feedback Preference (PFP) model is a recently introduced internet topology generator. The model uses two generic algorithms to replicate the evolution dynamics observed on the internet historic data. The phenomenological model was originally designed to match only two topology properties of the internet, i.e. the rich-club connectivity and the exact form of degree distribution. Whereas numerical evaluation has shown that the PFP model accurately reproduces a large set of other nontrivial characteristics as well. This paper aims to investigate why and how this generative model captures so many diverse properties of the internet. Based on comprehensive simulation results, the paper presents a detailed analysis on the exact origin of each of the topology properties produced by the model. This work reveals how network evolution mechanisms control the obtained topology properties and it also provides insights on correlations between various structural characteristics of complex networks.

description: Analytical expressions relating the fundamental parameters describing the chargino sector in the context of the Left-Right Supersymmetric model are constructed. A general complex extension of the real non-symmetric chargino mass matrix including all possible CP-violating phases is considered. The method used for such a effects is the projector formalism based on the explicit knowledge of two unitary matrices diagonalizing the chargino mass matrix. Some possible scenarios allowing us to extract analytical and numerical values for the unknown parameters are considered. Moreover, an algorithm allowing us to disentangle the fundamental parameters of the chargino sector, based on possible measurements of some class of cross-section observables related to the chargino pair production in $e^+ e^-$ annihilation processes, is described. Some comparisons with the corresponding results in the context of the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model are given.

description: Phenotypic variation – such as disease susceptibility and differential drug response – has a strong genetic component. Substantial effort has therefore been made to identify causal genomic variants explaining such variation among humans. Point mutations (PMs), which are single nucleotide changes in the genome, have been identified to be the most abundant form of causal genomic variants, making them useful, reliable diagnostic markers. Methods developed to genotype PMs have moved towards solid-phase assays, which not only show greater sensitivity and specificity, but also enable scalability and faster processing time. Most current assays are, however, based on fluorescent probes, which makes them relatively expensive. To develop a more cost-effective label-free genotyping method, we used a porous silicon (PSi) base as an efficient support for DNA biosensing and coupled it with reflectometric interference Fourier transform spectroscopy (RIFTS). To assess the versatility of this approach, we tested both a single nucleotide substitution in VKORC1 (-1639G > A; rs9923231) and a single nucleotide insertion in BRCA1 (5382insC; rs80357906). We demonstrate that the PSi-RIFTS method can efficiently detect both PM types with high sensitivity where hybridization of complementary DNA can be quantifiably differentiated from mismatch and non-complementary hybridization events. In addition, we show that the PSi base with immobilized DNA not only can be re-used to type further samples, but it also remains stable for 14 days, suggesting its potential for high-throughput applications.

description: High entropy oxides (HEOs) constitute a promising class of materials with possibly new and largely unexplored properties. The virtually infinite variety of compositions (multi-element approach) for a single-phase structure allows the tailoring of their physical properties and enables unprecedented materials design. Nevertheless, this level of versatility renders their characterization as well as the study of specific processes or reaction mechanisms challenging. In the present work, we report the structural and electrochemical behavior of different multi-cationic HEOs. Phase transformation from spinel to rock-salt was observed upon incorporation of monovalent Li+ ions, accompanied by partial oxidation of certain elements in the lattice. This transition was studied by X-ray diffraction, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy. In addition, the redox behavior was probed using cyclic voltammetry. Especially, the lithiated rock-salt structure HEOs were found to exhibit potential for usage as negative and positive electrode materials in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries.

description: In the contemporary textile sector, antimicrobial fabrics have an increasing global interest. This study focused on the development of antimicrobial cotton fabrics impregnated with nanocomposite. The nanocomposite was prepared by nanoparticles of Ag loaded with nano SiO2. As a cutting-edge alternative raw material, Eragrostis teff straw was used to synthesis SiO2 nanoparticles (SiO2NPs) by sol–gel technique. Ag nanoparticles (AgNPs) were obtained via green synthesis from silver nitrate (AgNO3) using Ocimum lamiifolium plant extract as a reducing agent. Stőber method was applied to obtain SiO2 impregnated Ag nanocomposite (SiO2@AgNC). The nanocomposite was characterised by different techniques, such as FTIR, XRD, BET, and SEM. Further, SiO2@AgNC was utilised to load in cotton fabric to develop an antimicrobial fabric. The antimicrobial proficiency of developed fabrics was investigated through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bacterial concentration (MBC) against selected bacterial species, such as Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. From the results, the MIC for S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli was found to be 0.60 mg/ml, 0.45 mg/mL, and 1.05 mg/ml, respectively. The MBC for S. aureus, P. aeruginosa, and E. coli were found to be and 0.75 mg/ml, and 1.00 mg/ml, and 2.00 mg/ml, respectively. The inferences revealed that the developed fabrics could be applied extensively including healthcare, packaging materials, protective clothing, and others.
Proving Correctness and Completeness of Normal Programs - a Declarative Approach

description: We advocate a declarative approach to proving properties of logic programs. Total correctness can be separated into correctness, completeness and clean termination; the latter includes non-floundering. Only clean termination depends on the operational semantics, in particular on the selection rule. We show how to deal with correctness and completeness in a declarative way, treating programs only from the logical point of view. Specifications used in this approach are interpretations (or theories). We point out that specifications for correctness may differ from those for completeness, as usually there are answers which are neither considered erroneous nor required to be computed. We present proof methods for correctness and completeness for definite programs and generalize them to normal programs. For normal programs we use the 3-valued completion semantics; this is a standard semantics corresponding to negation as finite failure. The proof methods employ solely the classical 2-valued logic. We use a 2-valued characterization of the 3-valued completion semantics which may be of separate interest. The presented methods are compared with an approach based on operational semantics. We also employ the ideas of this work to generalize a known method of proving termination of normal programs.

description: We present an extended ultraviolet-blue (850-4700 AA) library of theoretical stellar spectral energy distributions (SEDs) computed at high resolution, R= 50,000. The UVBLUE grid, as we named the library, is based on LTE calculations carried out with ATLAS9 and SYNTHE codes developed by R. L. Kurucz and consists of nearly 1800 entries that cover a large volume of the parameter space. It spans a range in effective temperature from 3000 to 50,000 K, the surface gravity ranges from log g= 0.0 to 5.0 with a step of 0.5 dex, while seven chemical compositions are considered: [Fe/H]= -2.0, -1.5, -1.0, -0.5, +0.0, +0.3 and +0.5 dex. For its coverage across the H-R diagram, this library is the most comprehensive one ever computed at high resolution in the short-wavelength spectral range, and useful application can be foreseen both for the study of single stars and in population synthesis models of galaxies and other stellar systems.

description: Hydrogen sensing property of composite films of camphorsulfonic acid-protonated polyaniline (Pani) with different amounts of multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) was investigated in this paper. The MWCNT/Pani composite films were deposited by a spin-coating method on both ITO and Au-interdigitated electrodes (Au-IDE) substrates. Sensor film characteristics were evaluated by monitoring the change in electrical resistance in the presence of hydrogen at room temperature. It was observed that all MWCNT/Pani composite films showed the better sensor indicators such as sensitivity, response and recovery times in comparison with pure Pani. It was found that sensor indicators were improved by increasing the MWCNT filler concentration in composite. Moreover, it was observed that Au-IDE substrate drastically increased sensor sensitivity in comparison with uniform ITO-coated glass at 4 wt% MWCNTs exposed to 0.4 vol% H2 in the air.
Population and metabolic activity dynamics of resin-acid-degrading bacteria as determined by the RNA:DNA ratio
Creators: name: Muttray, Annette Friederike
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis describes the development and application of a new quantitative and species-specific approach to measure the abundance and metabolic activity of selected populations of microorganisms in complex communities. The approach is based on a positive correlation between growth rate and RNA:DNA ratio, which was shown to exist in selected microorganisms able to degrade resin acids from pulp and paper mill effluent. Species included in the study belonged to the genera Pseudomonas, Sphingomonas, Zoogloea and Escherichia. Only the zoogloeal isolate did not exhibit a positive correlation between growth rate and RNA: DNA ratio during exponential growth, and neither were the trends in its RNA:DNA ratio similar to the trends in other species during batch growth. In other organisms, during batch growth, the ratio was low during lag phase, had a brief maximum during exponential growth and declined during decelerating and stationary phase. In no case was the ratio observed to remain high during the entire period of exponential growth. Slot-blot hybridization and competitive RT-PCR/PCR assays, targeting hypervariable regions of the 16S ribosomal RNA sequences, were used to measure the DNA and RNA concentrations in a species-specific manner. The hybridization assay proved to be not sensitive enough and burdened with high background when applied to activated sludge samples. The competitive RT-PCR/PCR assay had a much higher sensitivity (10 target copies per ml of activated sludge) and no background. Sphingomonas sp. DhA-33 and Pseudomonas abietaiphila BKME-9 were examined for their ability to survive and to contribute to the resin acid biodegradation in mixed communities. In both cases, DNA data showed survival of the strains, and the RNA:DNA ratio measured their metabolic activity over time, which varied with changes in resin acid concentration, aeration and pH. The quantitative competitive PCR/RT-PCR method contributes significantly to our ability to estimate growth or turnover rates of populations in complex environments when their population sizes appear to be stable. The method allows for the processing of large representative samples and, in conjunction with other molecular microbiological techniques, will contribute toward our understanding of microbial activities in situ.

description: Hamiltonian perturbations of the simplest hyperbolic equation $u_t + a(u) u_x=0$ are studied. We argue that the behaviour of solutions to the perturbed equation near the point of gradient catastrophe of the unperturbed one should be essentially independent on the choice of generic perturbation neither on the choice of generic solution. Moreover, this behaviour is described by a special solution to an integrable fourth order ODE.

description: We present results of simulations of stellar collapse and explosions in spherical symmetry for progenitor stars in the 8-10 solar mass range with an O-Ne-Mg core. The simulations were continued until nearly one second after core bounce and were performed with the Prometheus/Vertex code with a variable Eddington factor solver for the neutrino transport, including a state-of-the-art treatment of neutrino-matter interactions. Particular effort was made to implement nuclear burning and electron capture rates with sufficient accuracy to ensure a smooth continuation, without transients, from the progenitor evolution to core collapse. Using two different nuclear equations of state (EoSs), a soft version of the Lattimer & Swesty EoS and the significantly stiffer Wolff & Hillebrandt EoS, we found no prompt explosions, but instead delayed explosions, powered by neutrino heating and the neutrino-driven baryonic wind which sets in about 200 ms after bounce. The models eject little nickel (< 0.015 solar masses), explode with an energy of about or slightly more than 10**50 erg, and leave behind neutron stars (NSs) with a baryonic mass near 1.36 solar masses. Different from previous models of such explosions, the ejecta during the first second have a proton-to-baryon ratio of Ye > 0.46, which suggests a chemical composition that is not in conflict with galactic abundances. No low-entropy matter with Ye << 0.5 is ejected. This excludes such explosions as sites of a low-entropy r-process. The low explosion energy and nucleosynthetic implications are compatible with the observed properties of the Crab supernova, and the small nickel mass supports the possibility that our models explain some subluminous Type II-P supernovae.

description: Can stress affect not only your life but also how you read and interpret a text? Healthcare has shown evidence of such dynamics and in this short paper we discuss customising texts based on user stress level, as it could represent a critical factor when it comes to user engagement and behavioural change. We first show a real-world example in which user behaviour is influenced by stress, then, after discussing which tools can be employed to assess and measure it, we propose an initial method for tailoring the document by exploiting complexity reduction and affect enforcement. The result is a short and encouraging text which requires less commitment to be read and understood. We believe this work in progress can raise some interesting questions on a topic that is often overlooked in NLG.

description: Using a survey research approach this study verified the extent of public awareness of tourism benefits in southern Cross River State, Nigeria. With random sampling technique, 510 subjects were drawn from a population of all inhabitants of the state’s southern senatorial district. A 28- item questionnaire tagged “Awareness of Tourism Benefits Scale” (ATBS) was designed to collect data. The instrument had a test-retest reliability estimate of 0.82, this value shows that the instrument is stable in yielding data for this study. Population t-test was used to analyse obtained data which was tested at .05 level of significance. The finding revealed that public awareness of tourism benefits was very high. It is therefore recommended that relevant public and private authorities should make conscious and adequate efforts to enhance tourism related activities to encourage people to harness its benefits.

description: We show that all three conditions for the cosmological relevance of heterotic cosmic strings, the right tension, stability and a production mechanism at the end of inflation, can be met in the strongly coupled M-theory regime. Whereas cosmic strings generated from weakly coupled heterotic strings have the well known problems posed by Witten in 1985, we show that strings arising from M5-branes wrapped around 4-cycles (divisors) of a Calabi-Yau in heterotic M-theory compactifications, solve these problems in an elegant fashion.

description: Silver–diamond like carbon (Ag–DLC) nanocomposite films were deposited on glass and silicon substrates by co-deposition of RF-sputtering and RF-PECVD method in acetylene plasma. The effects of deposition time on creation of conductive percolation pathway in Ag–DLC nanocomposite films were investigated. The films were characterized by XRD pattern, AFM images, UV–Vis and FTIR spectra. Pressure of chamber’s variation over time was illustrated the rate of carbon and silver deposition changing. The results showed that nanoparticles’ size and surface roughness was increased by increasing deposition time. Surface plasmon resonance peak’s red shift in optical absorption spectra of samples could be depends on silver nanoparticles’ scale up. Based on electrical measurements, electrical percolation threshold was observed only in the film with 35 min deposition time. Pathway was created for electric current by Ag nanoparticles’ moving in carbon matrix due to sp3 bonds and silver content in the films. The aging effect was studied for sample #2 in the threshold of percolation, where obtained Ag nanoparticles memorize its previous pathway. This investigation provides a better understanding for electric properties of Ag–DLC nanocomposite based on the percolation theory.

Genomic and functional analysis of mouse Ly49 natural killer cell receptor genes

description: The overall objective of my research has been to better understand the genomic complexity of the mouse Ly49 multigene family, which encodes receptors for MHC class I molecules on natural killer (NK) cells. When I began my study, nine Ly49 genes, Ly49a-i, had been identified in the C57BL/6 (B6) mouse, though Southern blot analysis suggested the existence of additional Ly49 genes. To characterize and localize new Ly49 genes, we isolated and mapped PI genomic clones hybridizing to an Ly49c-related probe. The relative order of all Ly49 genes within the clones was determined, and five new Ly49 genes, Ly49j-n, were identified. Three of these new genes, Ly49j, k and n, belonged to the Ly49c-related subset of the Ly49 family. To determine whether the Ly49j, k and n genes were transcribed, RT-PCR was performed using gene-specific primers. A full length cDNA for Ly49j was detected and shares 96% nucleotide identity with Ly49c and i. Many different sized Ly49k and n transcripts were observed, although they likely do not encode functional proteins due to severe truncations in the open reading frame. Interestingly, the most abundant Ly49j transcript detected lacked the transmembrane domain, yet maintained the reading frame. Further studies revealed the presence of Ly49i transmembrane-less transcripts, although at a much lower frequency than observed for Ly49j. Finally, we examined the 5' and 3' regions of the closely related Ly49c and j genes, to determine if they contained cis-acting elements involved in gene regulation. Luciferase reporter assays in EL-4 cells indicate that the 5' regions of Ly49c and j contain promoter elements and repressor sequences, and that Ly49j contains an active promoter in the first intron. Finally, comparisons of the 3' non-coding regions of Ly49c and j revealed that the sequence of Ly49j diverges completely from Ly49c downstream of the termination codon, resulting in a longer 3' untranslated region (UTR). When the Ly49j 3' UTR was used to provide the polyadenylation signal for the GFP reporter gene, expression of GFP was reduced two-fold. These results suggest that both internal promoters and 3' regions play a role in regulating Ly49 gene expression.

description: Recently d-dimensional spherically symmetric charged Vaidya black hole solution has been constructed. We observe that this nonstationary solution admits extremal limit and study its near horizon geometry. We show that the symmetry of the near horizon geometry is SO(2, 1) ×SO(d-1). Our analysis shows that the theorems for the near horizon geometry of stationary extremal black holes, may be extended to nonstationary cases.

description: The giant flare observed on Dec. 27th 2004 from SGR 1806-20 has revived the idea that a fraction of short (<2 s) Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) is due to giant flares from Soft Gamma Ray Repeaters located in nearby galaxies. One of the distinguishing characteristics of these events is the thermal (black body) spectrum with temperatures ranging from ~50 to ~180 keV, with the highest temperature observed for the initial 0.2 s spike of the Dec. 27th 2004 event. We analyzed the spectra of a complete sample of short GRBs with peak fluxes greater than 4 photon s^(-1) cm^(-2) detected by BATSE. Of the 115 short GRBs so selected only 76 had sufficient signal to noise to allow the spectral analysis. We find only 3 short GRBs with a spectrum well fitted by a black body, with 601 sec) and a more complex light curve than the Dec. 27th 2004 event. This implies a stringent limit on the rate of extragalactic SGR giant flares with spectral properties analogous to the Dec. 27th flare. We conclude that up to 4 per cent of the short GRBs could be associated to giant flares (2 sigma confidence). This implies that either the distance to SGR 1806-20 is smaller than 15 kpc or the rate of Galactic giant flares is lower than the estimated 0.033 per year.
