description: In this new report, some of the nation’s leading community corrections administrators discuss the consequences of the tremendous growth in probation and parole supervision in the United States over the past several decades. They argue that the number of people under supervision needs to be cut in half. Originally designed as alternatives to incarceration, the authors find that probation and parole are a deprivation of liberty in their own right and have become key drivers of mass incarceration by serving as a trip wire to reincarceration for many of those under supervision. The authors argue that community corrections populations have risen alongside prison and jail populations but that community corrections has not been funded adequately to meet the needs of a population of individuals beset by poverty, unemployment, inadequate housing, mental illness and substance use. Since it is highly unlikely that governments will increase funding to probation and parole, the only realistic alternative is to reduce the number of people under community corrections and preserve some of the funds to provide assistance to those who remain under supervision. The paper discusses several examples of jurisdictions that have done so.

Identification. This morphospecies can be distinguished from other Deltochilum species by having a copper to dark gray body; elytra interestriae with strongly marked ocellated points; presence of carina towards the anterior external edge of the elytra (pers. obs.). Distribution. By reviewing collections this morphospecies has been observed for Colombia from a large part of the lowland foothills to some areas of Andean forests. This abundant morphospecies (341 individuals) was found between 700–1100 m a.s.l., and recorded in all sampled areas (wooded pasture, gallery or riparian forest and high secondary forest). A preference was observed for forest cover (263 individuals).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The expected climate change is of growing interest on the regional scale, including the Baltic Sea. However, simulations with global models do not sufficiently resolve the regional impact. Consequently, dynamic downscaling methods are being used to convert the results obtained in global models to the regional scale. In the present study, two regional datasets for greenhouse gas emission scenarios, A1B and B1, for the period 1960–2100, were used to force transient simulations with a three-dimensional ecosystem model of the Baltic Sea. The results showed that the expected warming of the Baltic Sea is 1–4 K, with a decrease in salinity and a much reduced sea-ice cover in winter. In addition, the season favouring cyanobacterial blooms is prolonged, with the spring bloom in the northern Baltic Sea beginning earlier in the season.

description: The political differences we see on climate issues globally reflect different cultures and distinct stages of economic development. Just as global treaty negotiations work to bridge the divide between nations, Americans need to renew our search for common ground. For most of the 21st century, our national politics has been about how we differ. With the phrase “climate change” disappearing from U.S. federal government websites and increased talk of regulatory overreach, it is obvious that protecting the environment will continue to be a fault line in American political ideology. While there are plenty of examples of environmental regulations being administered with rigidity and inflexibility, there are far more examples of accommodation and a process that provides plenty of time for businesses and localities to comply with environmental standards.
Electronic coherence dynamics in trans-polyacetylene oligomers

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Electronic decoherence processes in trans-polyacetylene oligomers are considered by explicitly computing the time dependent molecular polarization from the coupled dynamics of electronic and vibrational degrees of freedom in a mean-field mixed quantum-classical approximation. The oligomers are described by the SSH Hamiltonian and the effect of decoherence is incorporated by propagating an ensemble of quantum-classical trajectories with initial conditions obtained by sampling the Wigner distribution of the nuclear degrees of freedom. The decoherence for superpositions between the ground and excited and between pairs of excited states is considered for chains of different length, and the dynamics is discussed in terms of the nuclear overlap function that appears in the off-diagonal elements of the electronic reduced density matrix. For long oligomers the loss of coherence occurs in tens of femtoseconds. This timescale is determined by the initial decay of the nuclear overlap and by the decay of population into other electronic states, and is relatively insensitive to the type and class of superposition considered. By contrast, for smaller oligomers the decoherence timescale depends strongly on the initially selected superposition, with superpositions that can decay as fast as 50 fs and as slow as 250 fs. The long-lived superpositions are such that little population is transferred to other electronic states and for which the vibronic dynamics is relatively harmonic.

Identification. This species can be distinguished from other Phanaeus species by the pronotal punctures, while these were not strong, they usually are distinct both on the sides and on the disc; the pronotal central micro spots were often difficult to detect (×40) and were absent in some specimens; the basal pronotal fossae was lacking or represented only by small punctures (×10); the dorsum was olive green or olive brown with metallic highlights on the pronotum and the pygidium was green (Edmonds and Zidek 2012). Distribution. For the Orinoco region there are records from 200–600 m a.s.l. (Medina and Pulido 2009). In the study area, the species was found between 700–950 m a.s.l. Phanaeus cambeforti was rare species (58 individuals) and was collected both during the dry season and in the rainy season with a greater habitat preference for areas with vegetation cover such as high secondary forest (43 individuals), riparian forest relics (four individuals), unlike open areas such as wooded pasture where only 11 individuals were recorded.

description: A new way to construct a fitting formula for the halo mass function is presented. Our formula is expressed as a solution to the modified Jedamzik matrix equation that automatically satisfies the normalization constraint. The characteristic parameters expressed in terms of the linear shear eigenvalues are empirically determined by fitting the analytic formula to the numerical results from the high-resolution N-body simulation and found to be independent of scale, redshift and background cosmology. Our fitting formula with the best-fit parameters is shown to work excellently in the wide mass-range at various redshifts: The ratio of the analytic formula to the N-body results departs from unity by up to 10% and 5% over 10^{11}<= M/(M_sun/h)<= 5x10^{15} at z=0,\ 0.5 and 1 for the FoF-halo and SO-halo cases, respectively.

Interpreting OPERA results on superluminal neutrino

description: OPERA has claimed the discovery of superluminal propagation of neutrinos. We analyze the consistency of this claim with previous tests of special relativity. We find that reconciling the OPERA measurement with information from SN1987a and from neutrino oscillations requires stringent conditions. The superluminal limit velocity of neutrinos must be nearly flavor independent, must decrease steeply in the low-energy domain, and its energy dependence must depart from a simple power law. We construct illustrative models that satisfy these conditions, by introducing Lorentz violation in a sector with light sterile neutrinos. We point out that, quite generically, electroweak quantum corrections transfer the information of superluminal neutrino properties into Lorentz violations in the electron and muon sector, in apparent conflict with experimental data.
description: 21 pages, 4 figures. Final version to appear on NPB. The electroweak corrections that transfer Lorentz violation from neutrinos to electrons have now been computed finding a result in agreement with the estimate in the first version of the paper

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.A complex biophysical model comprising Princeton Ocean Model (POM) and European Regional Seas Model (ERSEM) was coupled with an individual-based model (IBM) for the European anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) in the framework of the SESAME–MEECE–REPRODUCE EU projects. The model was applied in the northern Aegean Sea, an area where anchovy is relatively well studied and, along with sardine, is the most important species for the fishing industry. For the representation of the fish population, the approach of “super individuals” (SI) was adopted, each one characterized by x, y, z coordinates—age, length, and weight. Physiological processes are resolved through a bioenergetics model, while population processes are solved separately, describing the evolution of the number of individuals in each age class, accounting for fishing and natural mortality. From the six life stages included, the first two (eggs and early larvae) are considered as passive tracers. For the remaining stages, in order to simulate fish movement to optimal areas, a dynamic programming method is used where food resources and processes are balanced in a memory and learning procedure. In addition to horizontal migration, a vertical movement is also incorporated as a combined function of the regular diurnal migration, prey concentration, and water temperature. Furthermore, in an attempt to exploit the interacting mechanisms between the two models, a low-rank Kalman filter was implemented for the assimilation of satellite data. Considering the economic value of the anchovy, the prediction of existing stocks is of paramount importance, particularly in the context of overfishing and climatic changes.

description: We study the evolution of the equation of state of a strongly interacting quark system as a function of the diquark interaction strength. We show that for the system to avoid collapsing into a pressureless Boson gas at sufficiently strong diquark coupling strength, the diquark-diquark repulsion has to be self-consistently taken into account. In particular, we find that the tendency at zero temperature of the strongly interacting diquark gas to condense into the system ground state is compensated by the repulsion between diquarks if the diquark-diquark coupling constant is higher than a critical value $λ_C=7.65$. Considering such diquark-diquark repulsion, a positive pressure with no significant variation along the whole strongly interacting region is obtained. A consequence of the diquark-diquark repulsion is that the system maintains its BCS character in the whole strongly interacting region.

description: Here we report on fabrication and low temperature magnetotransport measurements of quantum point contacts patterned from a novel two-dimensional electron system - CdTe/CdMgTe modulation doped heterostructure. From the temperature and bias dependence we ascribe the reported data to evidence for a weakly bound state which is naturally formed inside a CdTe quantum constrictions due to charging effects. We argue that the spontaneous introduction of an open dot is responsible for the replacement of flat conductance plateaus by quasi-periodic resonances with amplitude less than 2e^{2}/h, as found in our system. Additionally, below 1 K a pattern of weaker conductance peaks, superimposed upon wider resonances, is also observed.

Mechanisms regulating ecological responses to resource pulses within cavity-nesting bird communities
Creators: name: Norris, Andrea Rose
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2012

description: Resource pulses may influence mechanisms that can regulate consumer populations directly through bottom-up effects on resource availability and indirectly via top-down effects of inter-specific interactions. Although these are well documented in food webs, the responses within nest webs (communities structured around nesting cavities in trees) have received little attention. Bark beetle (subfamily: Scolytinae) outbreaks represent food pulses that may lead to secondary pulses of nest cavities and increases in fecundity and competition among insectivores if excavating new nest cavities allows exploitation of novel habitats that increase reproductive output for both excavators and obligate secondary cavity nesters (SCNs), and if increased territory quality leads to greater energetic expenditures on territoriality. Using observational and experimental approaches, I examined how a large-scale outbreak of mountain pine beetle (Dendroctonus ponderosae) influenced the production of cavities, fecundity, and competition within nest webs at 30 sites in interior British Columbia, Canada, from 1995-2009. I used 1,018 nests of two species that varied in their ability to excavate cavities and specialize on bark beetles, Red-breasted nuthatch (Sitta canadensis; facultative excavator and bark beetle specialist) and Mountain chickadee (Poecile canadensis; SCN and generalist insectivore). I found that nuthatches excavated more cavities in lieu of using old cavities, maintained a constant clutch size throughout the breeding season (~6 eggs), and fledged up to 100% more young per nest, at sites and in years with increasing beetle abundance. Chickadee clutches were initiated earlier, mean clutch size increased from 5 to 7 eggs, and fledgling success doubled with a dual pulse of food and nest sites. I examined intra- and inter-specific territoriality by simulating conspecific and heterospecific territorial intrusions using 974 presentations with song playbacks, from 2004-2008. Chickadees, although typically subordinate to nuthatches when competing for food, attacked all intruders more frequently (24% of 397 responses elicited) than nuthatches (8% of 372 responses). Both species showed increasing territoriality with increasing beetle abundance. Overall, my research suggested that species compensated both reproductively and behaviourally in response to resource pulses, and that plasticity in foraging and nesting behaviours can promote the resilience of wildlife communities in highly variable forest environments.

description: We present forecast errors on a wide range of cosmological parameters obtained from a photometric cluster catalogue of a future wide-field Euclid-like survey. We focus in particular on the total neutrino mass as constrained by a combination of the galaxy cluster number counts and correlation function. For the latter we consider only the shape information and the Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO), while marginalising over the spectral amplitude and the redshift space distortions. In addition to the cosmological parameters of the standard LCDM+nu model we also consider a non-vanishing curvature, and two parameters describing a redshift evolution for the dark energy equation of state. For completeness, we also marginalise over a set of "nuisance" parameters, representing the uncertainties on the cluster mass determination. We find that combining cluster counts with power spectrum information greatly improves the constraining power of each probe taken individually, with errors on cosmological parameters being reduced by up to an order of magnitude. In particular, the best improvements are for the parameters defining the dynamical evolution of dark energy, where cluster counts break degeneracies. Moreover, the resulting error on neutrino mass is at the level of σ(M_ν)\sim 0.9 eV, comparable with that derived from present Ly-alpha forest measurements and Cosmic Microwave background (CMB) data in the framework of a non-flat Universe. Further adopting Planck priors and reducing the number of free parameters to a LCDM+nu cosmology allows to place constraints on the total neutrino mass of σ(M_ν) \sim 0.08 eV, close to the lower bound enforced by neutrino oscillation experiments.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Zooplankton are sensitive to climate change and may amplify subtle environmental signals because of their non-linear responses to environment forcing. It is critically important to understand the underlying biological–physical mechanisms that control the variability of zooplankton populations, such that the predictions on how the climate change might affect plankton and higher trophic levels become possible. In this study, we use a coupled hydrodynamics/foodweb/population-dynamics model to identify the key processes controlling the observed seasonality and distributional patterns of key copepod populations in the Gulf of Maine region including Pseudocalanus spp., Centropages typicus, and Calanus finmarchicus. The importance of life-history traits (e.g. development, reproduction, mortality, diel, and seasonal migration) vs. physical processes (e.g. advection and diffusion) are examined. Specifically, we address the following questions: (i) the importance of temperature-dependent development for cold-water vs. warm-water species; (ii) the difference between egg-carrying vs. broadcasting reproduction strategies; (iii) the importance of bottom–up effect through food-dependent development and reproduction; (iv) the role of predation and cannibalism; (v) the impact of diel and seasonal migration on seasonality and distribution; and (vi) the population persistence in an advective system. The implication of this modelling study on data-need, observing system design, and climate change scenario testing will also be discussed.

COLOMBIA • 1♀, 23.74 mm (mean); Meta, Villavicencio, Vereda El Carmen, “La Loma” Farm; 04°08′28.18″N, 073°40′01.90″W; 730 m a.s.l.; 18 Oct. 2018; Cárdenas Johann and Parada Jenny leg.; wooded pasture; Crpat 3; UPTC-In-00054. • 1♂, 23.74 mm (mean); Meta, Villavicencio, Vereda El Carmen, Caño Blanco–Caño Buque; 04°08′21.85″N, 073°40′12.19″W; 774 m a.s.l.; 17 Oct. 2018; Cárdenas Johann and Parada Jenny leg.; riparian forest; Crbrt 4; UPTC-In-00055. Identification. This species can be distinguished from other Dichotomius species by the head with transverse roughness in the clypeus, gena and frons, the presence of a short, thick and blunt horn at the height of the gena with two small horns adjacent to the base of the central horn; pronotum with two small protuberances in the anterior medial region (Sarmiento-Gárces and Amat-García 2014). Distribution. The species is distributed in the Colombian and Ecuadorian Amazon, where it is a very wellrepresented species, extending to the foothills up to 1300 m a.s.l. (Sarmiento-Gárces and Amat-García 2009; Sarmiento-Gárces and Amat-García 2014). In the study area, it was observed between 750–850 m a.s.l. and seen in the habitats of riparian forest, high secondary forest, and wooded grassland, although it was rare species (59 individuals).

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.The annual variation in year-class size of fish populations is important because of its influence on the fishable biomass of the population. This recruitment variability is still not well understood, but for some populations (e.g. Georges Bank haddock) there is a strong relationship between it and processes during the larval stage. Spatially explicit coupled biological–physical individual-based models are ideal for studying the processes of feeding, growth, and predation during the larval stage. We seek to gain insights into the recruitment variability of Georges Bank haddock using such a model. We coupled a hydrodynamics model, a nutrient–phytoplankton–zooplankton–detritus model, a stage-based copepod population model, and a larval haddock individual-based model. Observations of larval haddock growth are strongly correlated with concentration of their copepod prey Pseudocalanus spp. This presented a challenge in coupling the copepod and larval haddock models because prey selection is species- and stage-specific, thus a size-based model was not adequate. The model was used to calculate growth and survival over the larval period as well as partition mortality into starvation, predation, and advective losses.

description: We use N-body/photometric galaxy simulations to examine the impact of sample variance of spectroscopic redshift samples on the accuracy of photometric redshift (photo-z) determination and calibration of photo-z errors. We estimate the biases in the cosmological parameter constraints from weak lensing and derive requirements on the spectroscopic follow-up for three different photo-z algorithms chosen to broadly span the range of algorithms available. We find that sample variance is much more relevant for the photo-z error calibration than for photo-z training, implying that follow-up requirements are similar for different algorithms. We demonstrate that the spectroscopic sample can be used for training of photo-zs and error calibration without incurring additional bias in the cosmological parameters. We provide a guide for observing proposals for the spectroscopic follow-up to ensure that redshift calibration biases do not dominate the cosmological parameter error budget. For example, assuming optimistically (pessimistically) that the weak lensing shear measurements from the Dark Energy Survey could obtain 1-sigma constraints on the dark energy equation of state w of 0.035 (0.055), implies a follow-up requirement of 150 (40) patches of sky with a telescope such as Magellan, assuming a 1/8^2 deg effective field of view and 400 galaxies per patch. Assuming (optimistically) a VVDS-like spectroscopic completeness with purely random failures, this could be accomplished with about 75 (20) nights of observation. For more realistic assumptions regarding spectroscopic completeness, or in the presence of other sources of systematics not considered here, further degradations to dark energy constraints are possible. We test several approaches for reducing the requirements. Abridged

description: At the Research Data Alliance Plenary 5, we reported on our initial assessment of the cyberinfrastructure necessary to connect data collection site information to the datasets derived from those observations.  Our use case focused on the Barrow Area Information Database (BAID) and datasets derived from fieldwork in the Barrow, Alaska (USA) area.  BAID serves as a repository for metadata describing both historical and contemporary Arctic field research sites. Our earlier work focused on the use of the funding agency project identifier to bridge from BAID to an archived dataset.  However, a single funded project often results in more than one dataset, and field projects may record measurements at more than one physical site and package those observations into a single dataset. Furthermore, the names used by BAID for the data collection sites were very different from those the Project Investigators included in the metadata for their research outputs. We clearly needed a consistent way to identify the physical data collection site in both the BAID repository and the metadata of related datasets.  We are currently using geohashes to uniquely identify physical research sites, and are generating examples of ISO 19115-compliant metadata that incorporate the geohash as a unique site identifier.

description: Article 6 of the Paris Agreement recognizes the right of Parties to cooperate in the implementation of their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) through both market- and non-market-based approaches. One market-based approach is outlined in Article 6.2 which provides for “the use of internationally transferred mitigation outcomes [(ITMOs)] towards” NDCs. This is widely seen as establishing a “bottom-up” approach, whereby “mitigation outcomes,” representing emission reduction credits, can be transferred internationally and then become ITMOs. It can be contrasted with other market-based approaches that are “top-down,” involving centralized programs supporting emission reduction projects. One such program is created in Article 6.4 of the Paris Agreement which establishes a new “mechanism to contribute to the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and support sustainable development” (sustainable development mechanism or SDM). Under Article 6.2 of the Paris Agreement, in making use of ITMOs, Parties must “promote sustainable development and ensure environmental integrity.” Similarly, under Article 6.4, the SDM is intended to “support” and “foster” sustainable development. While that phrase is not defined in the agreement, several Parties have argued that it requires the protection and promotion of human rights, consistent with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. That argument is supported by the recognition, in the preamble to the agreement, that Parties should “respect, promote, and consider their respective obligations on human rights” when taking action to address climate change. This creates an overarching expectation that Parties will, in implementing the agreement, take steps to protect human rights. This paper identifies, describes, and explores different approaches to ensuring human rights are protected in the context of Article 6. We consider, as one possible approach, whether and how social and environmental safeguards could be incorporated into the rules governing ITMOs and the SDM. We find that there is a compelling policy rationale for incorporating safeguards into both the ITMO and SDM frameworks, not only to prevent human rights abuses, but also to ensure the success of ITMO and SDM programs and projects. However, the legal basis for incorporating safeguards is somewhat uncertain, particularly in the context of the ITMO regime. That issue, along with the scope, substance, and enforcement of safeguards, is explored in this paper.

Identification. This species can be distinguished from other Eurysternus species by the posterior angle of the simple pronotum in males; metaventrite with two small longitudinal keels in its mid-basal part; posterior femur has a single tooth or tubercle in the posterior aspect, in some individuals an additional poorly developed tooth may appear near the base; in males the medial and posterior teeth of the anterior tibia is directed obliquely downwards (Génier 2009). Distribution. In Colombia it has been reported from Amazonas, Caquetá, Cundinamarca, Guaviare, Meta and Norte de Santander; in areas from 0 to 3000 m a.s.l. (Génier 2009; Camero-R 2010), and at low elevations in the Colombian Orinoco region, between 100–350 m a.s.l. (Medina and Pulido 2009). Specimens have been observed associated with almost all the habitats of the Neotropical region (Génier 2009). In the study area between 700–1200 m a.s.l., 702 individuals of this abundant species were collected, both during the dry and rainy season. The high secondary forest was the most preferred habitat, represented by 328 individuals, followed by the riparian forest with 271, and to a lesser extent the wooded grassland where 99 individuals were recorded and four individuals were collected in open grassland.

description: No abstracts are to be cited without prior reference to the author.Large numbers of Chilean jack mackerel (CHJM) migrate toward reproductive oceanic zones during spring. This transboundary species is a relevant fishing resource inside Chilean and international waters. Little is known about the life history of this species in the South Pacific. The main spawning peak occurs in November in oceanic waters (at least from 92°W to 75°W) and is related to the subtropical front. The connectivity and mechanisms of transport from oceanic spawning areas to northern nursery areas (north of 30°S), as well as the impact of environmental drivers in survival, are unknowns. A coupled biophysical model of the early life history of CHJM was implemented for the South Pacific. A three-dimensional hydrodynamic model of the region—OFES–NPZD—was coupled to an individual-based model of the early life history in an attempt to elucidate these processes. The models were successful in resolving eddies and mesoscale features covering the region between 5°N and 50°S and from the coast to 110°W with a 10-km horizontal resolution and 54 vertical levels. The study involved: validation of the hydrodynamic models, the use of a biophysical model as a simulation platform to assess the impact of environmental drivers on survival, and larval drift–connectivity toward coastal nursery areas, the realization of simulations based on realistic initial conditions from ~10 years of data, and modelling the full early life history. Model outputs will be validated with satellite and field data (age-0 juveniles). Results showed that spawning and nursery areas are connected, which is related to dynamic meanders, and that the physical output agreed with satellite data
