Justice by the Grid: Sentencing Disparities under North Carolina's Structured Sentencing Policy
Creators: name: Beyer, Luke
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: North Carolina uses a structured sentencing system intended to provide order and conformity to sentencing outcomes. But is the North Carolina criminal justice system truly blind to differences, or do factors outside the legal scope play a role in how harshly defendants are sentenced? This study aims to answer that question by exploring the role of various case factors on sentencing harshness outcomes. This study looks at A-D level felony cases between October 1, 2013 and December 31, 2017 from the North Carolina Administrative Office of the Court Database. I create a harshness index that compares the sentence a defendant received with the sentence they were at risk of receiving. The study finds that the most important factors in the harshness of sentencing are prior criminal record points and the type of plea defendants take. Having more prior criminal record points leads to less harsh treatment and pleading not guilty leads to harsher treatment. Additionally, this study finds statistically significant results that white men are sentenced harsher than white women, and older defendants are sentenced harsher than the youngest defendants. The results show no statistically significant disparities for black men or black women. There is no significant difference for the type of attorney a defendant has, and sentencing harshness is relatively consistent across location factors. Overall, this study is grounded in a theory of blameworthiness of the defendant.
3-flavor and 4-flavor implications of the latest T2K and NO$ν$A electron (anti-)neutrino appearance results

description: The two long-baseline experiments T2K and NO$ν$A have recently presented new findings. T2K has shown the first $\bar ν_e$ appearance data while NO$ν$A has released the first $ν_e$ appearance results. These data are of particular importance because they allow us to probe for the first time in a direct (or manifest) way the leptonic CP-violation. In fact, it is the first time that a hint of CP-violation arises from the comparison of the observations of neutrinos and antineutrinos. We consider the implications of such new results both for the standard 3-flavor framework and for the non-standard 3+1 scheme involving one sterile neutrino species. The 3-flavor analysis shows a consolidation of the previous trends, namely a slight preference for $\sin δ<0$, disfavoring CP conservation ($δ=0, π$) with a statistical significance close to $90\%$ C.L., and a mild preference (at more than 68\% C.L.) for the normal hierarchy. In a 3+1 framework, the data constrain two CP-phases ($δ_{13} \equiv δ$ and $δ_{14}$), which exhibit a slight preference for the common value $δ_{13} \simeq δ_{14} \simeq -π/2 $. Interestingly, in the enlarged four neutrino scheme the preference for the normal hierarchy found within the 3-flavor framework completely disappears. This indicates that light sterile neutrinos may constitute a potential source of fragility in the capability of the two LBL experiments of discriminating the neutrino mass hierarchy.

description: We report on a comprehensive reactivity study starting from [AuF3(SIMes)] to synthesize different motifs of monomeric gold(III) fluorides. A plethora of different ligands has been introduced in a mono-substitution yielding trans-[AuF2X(SIMes)] including alkynido, cyanido, azido, and a set of perfluoroalkoxido complexes. The latter were better accomplished via use of perfluorinated carbonyl-bearing molecules, which is unprecedented in gold chemistry. In case of the cyanide and azide, triple substitution gave rise to the corresponding [AuX3(SIMes)] complexes. Comparison of the chemical shift of the carbene carbon atom in the 13C{1H} NMR spectrum, the calculated SIMes affinity and the Au–C bond length in the solid state with related literature-known complexes yields a classification of trans-influences for a variety of ligands attached to the gold center. Therein, the mixed fluorido perfluoroalkoxido complexes have a similar SIMes affinity to AuF3 with a very low Gibbs energy of formation when using the perfluoro carbonyl route.
A Study of Morality Through Life Narrative Research: The Advantage of First Person Perspectives in Ethnography
Creators: name: Stack, Bo Bryant
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: Why is one rational person's "right" another's "wrong?" Narrative and anthropological studies have generally engaged ethics theory obliquely. This paper explores several anthropological conceptions of morality and advocates a focus on first person perspectives in the ethnographic study of morality. It contends that life narrative research is an apt methodology for exploring morality due to its focus on lived experiences. I intervene in the debate by exploring the various modes of being that an individual engages and how these amount to a moral being. I will show how a life story can effectively explore how people construct living and livable moral codes and offer a new concept, that of becoming moral.

description: Mammory, which is a mobile and desktop application designed to assist users in detecting potential abnormalities in mammography and ultrasound images. Our project aims to improve the accessibility and accuracy of breast cancer screening by using advanced artificial intelligence (AI) models to analyze images and provide detailed results. Mammory is designed to be user-friendly and accessible to a wide range of users, including both medical professionals and non-medical individuals. The application allows users to upload images from their device and receive results within seconds, with the option to view and download detailed reports. Additionally, the application includes a feature for users to search nearby clinics for further screening and treatment. Throughout the development process, we have employed various software engineering and testing methods to ensure the reliability and accuracy of the application. We have also considered various ethical and privacy concerns and have implemented measures to safeguard the security and confidentiality of user data. We hope that this project will make a significant impact in the field of breast cancer screening and improve the lives of those affected by the disease. We believe that Mammory will help in early detection, which is crucial in increasing the survival rate of breast cancer patients.

description: We study the thermodynamic properties of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in the context of the quantum field theory with non-commutative target space. Our main goal is to investigate in which temperature and/or energy regimes the non-commutativity can characterize some influence in the BEC properties described by a relativistic massive non-commutative boson gas. The non-commutativity parameters play a key role in the modified dispersion relations of the non-commutative fields, leading to a new phenomenology. We have obtained the condensate fraction, internal energy, pressure and specific heat of the system and taken ultra-relativistic (UR) and non-relativistic limits (NR). The non-commutative effects in the thermodynamic properties of the system are discussed. We found that there appear interesting signatures around the critical temperature.

description: Boolean networks are popular tools for the exploration of qualitative dynamical properties of biological systems. Several dynamical interpretations have been proposed based on the same logical structure that captures the interactions between Boolean components. They reproduce, in different degrees, the behaviours emerging in more quantitative models. In particular, regulatory conflicts can prevent the standard asynchronous dynamics from reproducing some trajectories that might be expected upon inspection of more detailed models. We introduce and study the class of networks with linear cuts, where linear components—intermediates with a single regulator and a single target—eliminate the aforementioned regulatory conflicts. The interaction graph of a Boolean network admits a linear cut when a linear component occurs in each cycle and in each path from components with multiple targets to components with multiple regulators. Under this structural condition the attractors are in one-to-one correspondence with the minimal trap spaces, and the reachability of attractors can also be easily characterized. Linear cuts provide the base for a new interpretation of the Boolean semantics that captures all behaviours of multi-valued refinements with regulatory thresholds that are uniquely defined for each interaction, and contribute a new approach for the investigation of behaviour of logical models.
Semi-classical locality for the non-relativistic path integral in configuration space

Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In a previous paper, we have put forward an interpretation of quantum mechanics based on a non-relativistic, Lagrangian 3+1 formalism of a closed Universe $M$, existing on timeless configuration space $\mathcal{M}$. However, not much was said there about the role of locality, which was not assumed. This paper is an attempt to fill that gap. To deal with the challenges gauge symmetries may pose to a good definition of locality, I start by demanding symmetries to have an action on $\mathcal{M}$ so that the quotient wrt the symmetries respects certain factorizations of $\mathcal{M}$. These factorizations are algebraic splits of $\mathcal{M}$ into sub-spaces $\mathcal{M}=\bigoplus_i \mathcal{M}_{O_i}$-- each factor corresponding to a physical sub-region $O_i$. This deals with kinematic locality, but locality in full can only emerge dynamically, and is not postulated. I describe conditions under which it can be said to have emerged. The dynamics of $O$ is independent of its complement, $M-O$, if the projection of extremal curves on $M$ onto the space of extremal curves intrinsic to $O$ is a surjective map. This roughly corresponds to $e^{i\hat{H}t}\circ \mathsf{pr}_{\mbox{O}}= \mathsf{pr}_{\mbox{ O}}\circ e^{i\hat{H}t}$, where $\mathsf{pr}_{\mbox{ O}}:\mathcal{M}\rightarrow \mathcal{M}_O^{\partial O}$ is a linear projection. This criterion for locality can be made approximate -- an impossible feat had it been already postulated -- and it can be applied for theories which do not have hyperbolic equations of motion, and/or no fixed causal structure. When two regions are \emph{mutually independent} according to the criterion proposed here, the semi-classical path integral kernel factorizes, showing cluster decomposition which is what one would like to obtain from any definition of locality.

description: When modeling laser wakefield acceleration (LWFA) using the particle-in-cell (PIC) algorithm in a Lorentz boosted frame, the plasma is drifting relativistically at $β_b c$ towards the laser, which can lead to a computational speedup of $\sim γ_b^2=(1-β_b^2)^{-1}$. Meanwhile, when LWFA is modeled in the quasi-3D geometry in which the electromagnetic fields and current are decomposed into a limited number of azimuthal harmonics, speedups are achieved by modeling three dimensional problems with the computation load on the order of two dimensional $r-z$ simulations. Here, we describe how to combine the speed ups from the Lorentz boosted frame and quasi-3D algorithms. The key to the combination is the use of a hybrid Yee-FFT solver in the quasi-3D geometry that can be used to effectively eliminate the Numerical Cerenkov Instability (NCI) that inevitably arises in a Lorentz boosted frame due to the unphysical coupling of Langmuir modes and EM modes of the relativistically drifting plasma in these simulations. In addition, based on the space-time distribution of the LWFA data in the lab and boosted frame, we propose to use a moving window to follow the drifting plasma to further reduce the computational load. We describe the details of how the NCI is eliminated for the quasi-3D geometry, the setups for simulations which combine the Lorentz boosted frame and quasi-3D geometry, the use of a moving window, and compare the results from these simulations against their corresponding lab frame cases. Good agreement is obtained, particularly when there is no self-trapping, which demonstrates it is possible to combine the Lorentz boosted frame and the quasi-3D algorithms when modeling LWFA to achieve unprecedented speedups.
Methods Using Mean-Field Approximations to Probe for Quantum Phase Transitions in Boson Droplets
Creators: name: Cariello, Nicholas
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2019

description: We explore mean-field methods to approximate the ground-state energies of distinguishable boson droplets. We accomplish this via mapping the ground-state energy of the N-body system onto the partition function of classical fields at fixed temperature T=1/N with a path-integral representation. In this model, the particles interact pairwise through an attractive contact potential with coupling strength g. By varying the particle number N and the coupling strength g, we can probe for phase transitions in three spatial dimensions where the Efimov effect leads to so-called Borromean bound states. Related works have become intensely studied in the recent decades due to the appearance of Efimov effect, as well as the implications it has to the study of ultracold atoms.

description: A theoretical approach using ab initio calculations has been applied to study the interaction of an ultra-short laser pulse with the metal alloy Fe$_{0.72}$Cr$_{0.18}$Ni$_{0.1}$ (AISI 304). The electronic structure is simulated by taking into account the chemical and magnetic disorder of the alloy by the coherent potential approximation implemented in a fully relativistic Korringa-Kohn-Rostoker-formalism in the framework of spin density functional theory. Utilizing these predictions we determined the electron heat capacity and the electron-phonon coupling factor of Fe$_{0.72}$Cr$_{0.18}$Ni$_{0.1}$ in dependence on the electron temperature for two-temperature model applications. Compared with pure Fe a maximum deviation of 5~\% for the electron heat capacity and 25~\% for the electron-phonon coupling factor is found.

Predicting Performance of a Face Recognition System Based on Image Quality
Creators: name: Dutta, Abhishek
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2015
Subjects: subject: Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (cs.CV)
subject: FOS: Computer and information sciences

description: In this dissertation, we present a generative model to capture the relation between facial image quality features (like pose, illumination direction, etc) and face recognition performance. Such a model can be used to predict the performance of a face recognition system. Since the model is based solely on image quality features, performance predictions can be done even before the actual recognition has taken place thereby facilitating many preemptive action. A practical limitation of such a data driven generative model is the limited nature of training data set. To address this limitation, we have developed a Bayesian approach to model the distribution of recognition performance measure based on the number of match and non-match scores in small regions of the image quality space. Random samples drawn from these models provide the initial data essential for training the generative model. Experiment results based on six face recognition systems operating on three independent data sets show that the proposed performance prediction model can accurately predict face recognition performance using an accurate and unbiased Image Quality Assessor (IQA). Furthermore, our results show that variability in the unaccounted quality space -- the image quality features not considered by the IQA -- is the major factor causing inaccuracies in predicted performance.

description: The development of biomedical glues is an important, yet challenging task as seemingly mutually exclusive properties need to be combined in one material, i.e. strong adhesion and adaption to remodeling processes in healing tissue. Here, we report a biocompatible and biodegradable protein-based adhesive with high adhesion strengths. The maximum strength reaches 16.5 ± 2.2 MPa on hard substrates, which is comparable to that of commercial cyanoacrylate superglue and higher than other protein-based adhesives by at least one order of magnitude. Moreover, the strong adhesion on soft tissues qualifies the adhesive as biomedical glue outperforming some commercial products. Robust mechanical properties are realized without covalent bond formation during the adhesion process. A complex consisting of cationic supercharged polypeptides and anionic aromatic surfactants with lysine to surfactant molar ratio of 1:0.9 is driven by multiple supramolecular interactions enabling such strong adhesion. We demonstrate the glue’s robust performance in vitro and in vivo for cosmetic and hemostasis applications and accelerated wound healing by comparison to surgical wound closures.

description: The introduction first gives insights into the state of the art of sound “repatriation” concerning the way historical and current recordings of verbal arts, music, and dance are brought back into circulation in originating communities. Sound restitution also seeks to level the epistemological divide resulting from conventional archiving. The groundbreaking, collaborative reactivations taking place in South America explored within the three articles in this journal issue are presented. External researchers and local co-researchers join forces to create shared soundscapes on an equitable basis; they develop innovative research designs for restitution and participate in webs of collaboration that take into account the recuperation of sound traditions that expert vocalists and instrumentalists, grassroots researchers, Indigenous leaders, and cultural entrepreneurs have independently initiated. Finally, the inclusion of co-researchers in the curatorship of museum exhibitions and the need to identify anyone who may claim rights to oratory, music, and dance is addressed.
The Role of Unverifiable Information in Online Peer-to-Peer Lending
Creators: name: Director, Benjamin
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2016

description: Over the past decade, online peer-to-peer lending has emerged as a viable alternative to
traditional consumer finance by connecting individuals with small financing needs with
individual investors seeking the consistent returns of lending traditionally reserved for financial
institutions. To date, the literature on leading loan providers like Lending Club and Prosper
Marketplace is relatively sparse and has failed to keep up with the constantly changing industry
funding standards. This study contributes to this body of literature by examining information that
is unverified by the Lending Club such as stated loan purpose and homeownership. While
previous studies have examined a now obsolete interest rate auction process and used machine
learning techniques to analyze complex loan descriptions, this study differentiates itself by
examining the current Lending Club industry standard and incorporating a larger subset of data.
Our results indicate that these unverified factors are significantly correlated with loan
performance but also that Lending Club’s interest rate assignment process acts as a partial
control for these deviations. While statistically significant disparities do emerge even after
Lending Club’s interest rate assignment process, these marginal differences become
economically insignificant because of practical complications in effectively exploiting them,
thereby suggesting Lending Club has constructed an efficient market for these loans.
Thermoelectric power production: Exploration of applications with concentrating solar arrays
Creators: name: Kelly, David
Publisher: name: The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill University Libraries
Year: 2014

description: This study explores the many facets of a solar concentrated thermoelectric power
system, and seeks to analyze their application. A simple solar thermoelectric system
is designed and analyzed. Using a parabolic trough, solar radiation is focused directly
onto thermoelectric devices, while a running water system is used to dissipate
waste heat from the modules. A mathematical model is formulated to understand
the relationship between absorbed power, hot side temperatures, and the efficiency of
output power. Both controlled and raw outdoor experiments are carried out to explore
the performance of the system. In controlled experiments the thermoelectric devices
produce 110-130 mW of power, with efficiencies of 4-7%. Outdoor tests yield much
more variable power, with average power production near 8 mW, and 0.5% efficiency.

description: In addition to causing trillion-dollar economic losses every year, counterfeiting threatens human health, social equity and national security. Current materials for anti-counterfeiting labelling typically contain toxic inorganic quantum dots and the techniques to produce unclonable patterns require tedious fabrication or complex readout methods. Here we present a nanoprinting-assisted flash synthesis approach that generates fluorescent nanofilms with physical unclonable function micropatterns in milliseconds. This all-in-one approach yields quenching-resistant carbon dots in solid films, directly from simple monosaccharides. Moreover, we establish a nanofilm library comprising 1,920 experiments, offering conditions for various optical properties and microstructures. We produce 100 individual physical unclonable function patterns exhibiting near-ideal bit uniformity (0.492 ± 0.018), high uniqueness (0.498 ± 0.021) and excellent reliability (>93%). These unclonable patterns can be quickly and independently read out by fluorescence and topography scanning, greatly improving their security. An open-source deep-learning model guarantees precise authentication, even if patterns are challenged with different resolutions or devices.

description: A very simple way to obtain comparable baryon and DM densities in the early Universe is through their contemporary production from the out-of-equilibrium decay of a mother particle, if both populations are suppressed by comparably small numbers, i.e. the CP violation in the decay and the branching fraction respectively. We present a detailed study of this kind of scenario in the context of a R-parity violating realization of the MSSM in which the baryon asymmetry and the gravitino Dark Matter are produced by the decay of a Bino. The implementation of this simple picture in a realistic particle framework results, however, quite involving, due to the non trivial determination of the abundance of the decaying Bino, as well as due to the impact of wash-out processes and of additional sources both for the baryon asymmetry and the DM relic density. In order to achieve a quantitative determination of the baryon and Dark Matter abundances, we have implemented and solved a system of coupled Boltzmann equations for the particle species involved in their generation, including all the relevant processes. In the most simple, but still general, limit, in which the processes determining the abundance and the decay rate of the Bino are mediated by degenerate right-handed squarks, the correct values of the DM and baryon relic densities are achieved for a Bino mass between 50 and 100 TeV, Gluino NLSP mass in the range 15-60 TeV and a gravitino mass between 100 GeV and few TeV. These high masses are unfortunately beyond the kinematical reach of LHC. On the contrary, an antiproton signal from the decays of the gravitino LSP might be within the sensitivity of AMS-02 and gamma-ray telescopes.

Transport is often achieved through a transition between an inward-facing (IF) and an outward-facing (OF) conformation of the transmembrane domains (TMDs). Asymmetric nucleotide-binding sites (NBSs) are present among several ABC subfamilies and their functional role remains elusive. Here we addressed this question using concomitant NO–NO, Mn2+–NO, and Mn2+–Mn2+ pulsed electron-electron double resonance spectroscopy of TmrAB in a time resolved manner. This type IV ABC transporter undergoes a reversible transition in the presence of ATP with a significantly faster forward transition. The impaired degenerate NBS stably binds Mn2+–ATP and Mn2+ is preferentially released at the active consensus NBS. ATP hydrolysis at the consensus NBS considerably accelerates reverse transition. Both NBSs fully open during each conformational cycle and the degenerate NBS may regulate the kinetics of this process.
Investigating MCM loading during quiescence and cell cycle re-entry

description: Before DNA replication, Minichromosome Maintenance (MCM) complexes are loaded on DNA to unwind it, allowing replication to proceed. This loading process is facilitated by two proteins, Cdc6 and Cdt1, and the origin recognition complex (ORC). When cells exit the cell cycle, thereby entering a quiescent state, MCM loading stops and therefore DNA replication cannot occur. We noticed that during the quiescent state, Cdc6 and Cdt1 are downregulated while ORC is still present. P38 is also known to inhibit MCM loading in some cases and might be causing slow MCM loading as well. To investigate MCM loading in quiescent cells and cells just coming out of quiescent state, we first constructed modified cells that produce the two factors during quiescent state through cloning. Then, we probed for MCM loaded on chromatin through a combination of chromatin fractionation and immunoblotting. Our results showed that expressing Cdt1 and Cdc6 while inhibiting p38 in quiescent cells cannot achieve MCM loading and thus besides the absence of these proteins, there are other unknown factors inhibiting MCM loading. Inhibiting p38 does not speed up MCM loading as well. These results suggest the existence of new factors or mechanisms on the transition between quiescent and proliferating cells. Further explorations on them can be important in understanding wound healing and cancer development.
Knights and Knighthood:  Perception and Social Change in the  Late Twelfth-Century Angevin Empire
Creators: name: Warren, Kathryn

description: A common modern perception of the medieval knight is a mounted warrior in full plate armor, ruthlessly striking down enemies on the battlefield. Being a warrior was the essence of being a knight, and this perception generally applies to knights over the centuries; however, the concept of both knights and knighthood changed through the centuries of the Middle Ages. Some of the most significant changes to the concept of knighthood occurred in the late twelfth century, influenced in part by literature, a sense of noble superiority, and tournaments, and altered the perception of knights and knighthood permanently. This paper addresses the general question of what is was like to be a knight in the late twelfth-century Angevin Empire by examining the knights’ place in the social hierarchy, the significance of dubbing ceremonies and rituals, the purposes of the tournament, and how all of this was changing in the late twelfth century Angevin Empire.

description: Extreme precipitation shows non-stationarity, meaning that its distribution can change with time or other large-scale variables. For a classical frequency-intensity analysis this effect is often neglected. Here, we propose a model including the influence of North Atlantic Oscillation, time, surface temperature and a blocking index. The model features flexibility to use annual maxima as well as seasonal maxima to be fitted in a generalized extreme value setting. To further increase the efficiency of data usage, maxima from different accumulation durations are aggregated so that information for extremes on different time scales can be provided. Our model is trained to individual station data with temporal resolutions ranging from one minute to one day across Germany. Models are chosen with a stepwise BIC model selection and verified with a cross-validated quantile skill index. The verification shows that the new model performs better than a reference model without large-scale information. Also, the new model enables insights into the effect of large-scale variables on extreme precipitation. Results suggest that the probability of extreme precipitation increases with time since 1950 in all seasons. High probabilities of extremes are positively correlated with blocking situations in summer and with temperature in winter. However, they are negatively correlated with blocking situations in winter and temperature in summer.

Credal Transfer and Changing Circumstances

description: In this paper, I explore the role of Bayesian Conditionalization in our theories of credal dynamics. I show that in certain cases, the use of the Bayesian theory leads to inappropriate credences. The source of the inappropriate credences is the application of Credal Transfer across circumstances, to which the Bayesian theory is not committed. From these problematic cases I draw two conclusions: the application of Credal Transfer poses practical difficulties for an agent attempting to use our theories of credal dynamics; and, in order for the Bayesian apparatus to make informative prescriptions for credal dynamics, it must make some commitments about when and how to transfer credences. I then argue that we should endorse Credal Transfer within circumstantial parameters, but that further commitments resist any general analysis.

description: Within the context of the Effective Field Theory (EFT) framework to gravitational dynamics, we compute the Hamiltonian, source quadrupole moment, and gravitational-wave energy flux for (non-spinning) inspiralling compact binaries at next-to-next-to-next-to leading order (N$^3$LO), corresponding to the third Post-Newtonian (3PN) order. We use the recently developed $d$-dimensional multipole-expanded effective theory, and explicitly perform the matching to the (pseudo-) stress-energy tensor. The computations involve Feynman integrals up to three- (conservative) and two-loop (radiative) orders, evaluated within dimensional regularization. Our (ambiguity-free) results confirm (for the first time) the value of the gravitational-wave flux for quasi-circular orbits at 3PN, while paving the way forward to the inclusion of spin effects as well as higher order computations.
Spatial modulation of the composition of a binary liquid near a repulsive wall

description: When a binary liquid is confined by a strongly repulsive wall, the local density is depleted near the wall and an interface similar to that between the liquid and its vapor is formed. This analogy suggests that the composition of the binary liquid near this interface should exhibit spatial modulation similar to that near a liquid-vapor interface even if the interactions of the wall with the two components of the liquid are the same. The Guggenheim adsorption relation quantifies the concentrations of two components of a binary mixture near a liquid-vapor interface and qualitatively states that the majority (minority) component enriches the interface for negative (positive) mixing energy if the surface tensions of the two components are not very different. From molecular dynamics simulations of binary mixtures with different compositions and interactions, we find that the Guggenheim relation is qualitatively satisfied at wall-induced interfaces for systems with negative mixing energy at all state points considered. For systems with positive mixing energy, this relation is found to be qualitatively valid at low densities, while it is violated at state points with high density where correlations in the liquid are strong. This observation is validated by a calculation of the density profiles of the two components of the mixture using density functional theory with the Ramakrishnan-Yussouff free-energy functional. Possible reasons for the violation of the Guggenheim relation are discussed.

description: The atmospheric boundary layer is particularly challenging to model in conditions of stable stratification, which can be associated with intermittent or unsteady turbulence. We develop a modelling approach to represent unsteady mixing possibly associated with turbulence intermittency and with unresolved fluid motions, called sub-mesoscale motions. This approach introduces a stochastic parametrisation by randomising the stability correction used in the classical Monin–Obhukov similarity theory. This randomisation alters the turbulent momentum diffusion and accounts for sporadic events that cause unsteady mixing. A data-driven stability correction equation is developed, parametrised, and validated with the goal to be modular and easily combined with existing Reynolds-averaged Navier–Stokes models. Field measurements are processed using a statistical model-based clustering technique, which simultaneously models and classifies the non-stationary stable boundary layer. The stochastic stability correction obtained includes the effect of the static stability of the flow on the resolved flow variables, and additionally includes random perturbations that account for localised intermittent bursts of turbulence. The approach is general and effectively accounts for the stochastic mixing effects of unresolved processes of possibly unknown origin.

description: The notion of Fejér monotonicity has proven to be a fruitful concept in fixed point theory and optimization.

Cyclodium meniscioides

description: Cyclodium meniscioides (Willd.) C.Presl, Tent. Pterid. 85. 1836.
 Range: —From Trinidad across Amazonia to Bolivia (BE, LP, PA, SC), Paraguay, and northeastern Argentina.
 Ecology: —Fairly common; terrestrial or sometimes climbing for short distances, in humid forests, often on waterlogged soils, in swampy areas, or close to streams; to 800(–1400) m.
 Notes: —Can be confused with species of Meniscium (as suggested by the specific epithet), but that genus has exindusiate sori and acicular hairs on the blades. A species with three varieties, with var. meniscioides known from Bolivia, and the other two found in Colombia, Peru, and the Guianas. Cyclodium trianae (Mett.) A.R.Sm., from Panama to Amazonian Ecuador and Peru, is likely to occur in northern Bolivia. It differs from C. meniscioides by its bipinnate blades, free (vs. anastomosing) veins, and round-reniform (vs. peltate) indusia.
